Look at the title and the pictures below. Guess what the text is about.
We Can’t Live Without Bees
pollination
honeycomb
Pre-reading
The text is probably about how bees connect plants, animals and humans, and why bees are so important for our lives.
While- Reading
Task 1: Match the main idea with each paragraph.
Bees are in danger.
People are connected to bees.
Para 2
Para 3
Bees are hard-working and the most important animals in this planet.
Para 1
Para 4
Bees are one of the most interesting animals in the world.
Task 2: Find the adjectives for bees.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. They need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel Disappointed Angry Sad At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.

Imagine you are the writer.Write one more paragraph about bees and add itto the text.
Now that we know bees are in trouble, let's take action to protect them! First, plant more flowers in your garden. If you don't have a garden, pots on the balcony work too. Sunflowers, roses, and daisies are great choices—bees love their sweet nectar and need pollen from them. Next, cut down on using pesticides on plants. These chemicals are harmful and can make bees sick. Also, tell your family and friends why bees are so important. All in all, every small thing we do can save more bees and keep our planet healthy!

思维导图法：指导学生用思维导图整合文本中关于蜜蜂的信息（如重要性、习性、问题等），梳理知识逻辑。
四、教学过程
（一）导入（5 分钟）
播放蜜蜂授粉相关视频，提问学生：“What is the video about ”，引导学生回答 “It’s about bees’ pollination.”，引出 “pollination（授粉）” 一词。
展示单元封面页（包含花和蜜蜂），提问：“1. What do you see in the photo 2. What do you think of when you see the photo ”，学生回答后，总结 “Flower and bee. Nature is really amazing！Bees and flowers work together.”，自然过渡到本节课主题 —— 蜜蜂。
（二）读前（7 分钟）
新词学习：呈现 “connect”“imagine”“disappointed”“communicate”“ecosystem” 等核心词汇，通过音标标注、例句（如 “I like to connect the new words I learn with real-life examples.”“Can you imagine life without mobile phones ”）帮助学生理解词义与用法，补充词性变化（如 “connected（adj.）”“connection（n.）”“imagination（n.）”）。
预测文本：展示文本标题 “We Can’t Live Without Bees” 及 “pollination”“honeycomb” 相关图片，引导学生猜测文本内容，“What do you think the article will talk about ”，学生发言后，总结 “ The text is probably about how bees connect plants, animals and humans, and why bees are so important for our lives.”，强调读前预测对理解文意的帮助。
（三）读中（15 分钟）

让学生快速扫读文本，将段落与大意匹配：Para 1（People are connected to bees.）、Para 2（Bees are hard-working and the most important animals in this planet.）、Para 3（Bees are one of the most interesting animals in the world.）、Para 4（Bees are in danger.），帮助学生梳理文本结构。
任务 2：寻找描述蜜蜂的形容词
学生精读文本，找出文中描述蜜蜂的形容词，如 “hard-working”“important”“interesting”“amazing”，并让学生朗读包含这些形容词的句子，加深对蜜蜂特质的理解。
任务 3：回答细节问题
呈现细节问题，如 “Why does the writer talk about a supermarket with few fruits or vegetables ”“How many flowers do bees often visit on one trip ”“What does ‘honeycomb’ probably mean ”“What can we infer from the last paragraph ”，学生带着问题再次精读文本，圈画关键信息并作答，教师核对答案并讲解易错点（如 “in order to” 表目的、“however” 表转折）。
（四）读后（13 分钟）
完成思维导图：学生以小组为单位，根据文本信息完成思维导图，包含 “Bees” 的 “their greatest work（pollination）”“visit（50 to 100 flowers）”“help（plants grow）”“importance”“interesting facts（work together to make homes；create honeycombs to store honey）”“problem（their number is dropping）” 等板块，小组展示后，教师点评补充。
小组讨论
讨论 1：“Can you give another title for the text ”，学生分享想法（如 “Without Bees, Will Our Favorite Foods Disappear ”），教师引导学生结合文本核心内容思考标题的合理性。
讨论 2：“What other interesting facts do you know about bees ”“What do you know about the connection between humans and other insects, such as ants and butterflies ”，鼓励学生分享课外知识，拓展视野。
续写段落：让学生以 “The writer” 的身份，结合文本最后一段内容，续写关于保护蜜蜂的段落，提示学生可加入具体保护措施（如种植蜜蜂喜爱的花、减少农药使用），教师选取部分学生作品进行展示点评。
（五）总结与作业布置（5 分钟）
总结：梳理本节课核心知识，包括描述蜜蜂的词汇（形容词：hard-working, important；名词：pollination；动词：communicate）、短语（play an important part in, be connected）、句式（Bees are + 形容词，Without..., ）及阅读策略（预测→扫读→精读→思维导图整合）。
作业布置
基础作业：背诵核心词汇和句式，用 3 个形容词描述蜜蜂并造句。
提升作业：完善课堂续写的段落，增加 1-2 个保护蜜蜂的具体做法。
拓展作业：查阅资料，用英语记录一种其他对生态重要的动物（至少 3 点信息）。
