教学过程
教学环节 学习活动（包含设计意图）
Lead - in (5 minutes) Activity: Play a video about 1 minute long on the latest global animal protection news, like the breeding achievements of rare animals, the actions against illegal wildlife trade, and the joint initiatives of international animal protection organizations. Meanwhile, play fast - paced and energetic background music to create an intense and warm atmosphere. Questioning: After the video, ask students, “What exciting news about animal protection did you see in the video How do you think these efforts will affect the future of animals ” Guide students to share their observations and ideas in English, such as “I saw that some endangered animals had new offspring. These efforts are really important for saving them from extinction.” This activity can enliven the classroom atmosphere and naturally lead to the situation of “International Youth Forum on Animal Protection”. Design Intent: The video can directly present the real - world situation of animal protection to students, stimulating their interest and concern. The following questions can quickly draw students into thinking and speaking in English, laying a foundation for the subsequent learning content.
Presentation (12 minutes) Situation Introduction: Create the situation of “International Youth Forum on Animal Protection” and vividly describe to students, “Dear students, welcome to this significant International Youth Forum on Animal Protection! On this stage that gathers global wisdom, you will act as the youth forces representing your countries, discussing the key issues of animal protection in English. Here, you should make full use of the knowledge you have learned, communicate and cooperate with your peers, and contribute unique insights to the animal protection cause. Let's start this dialogue that changes the fate of animals with a professional attitude and full enthusiasm!” Vocabulary and Grammar Teaching: Advanced Vocabulary Teaching: Use PPT to show and explain advanced vocabulary and phrases. For example, for “extinction”, show the severe situation of endangered animal extinction with pictures and explain “The extinction of certain species will break the ecological balance.”; for “conservation biology”, introduce its definition as a discipline studying the protection of biodiversity and give an example “Conservation biology plays a crucial role in protecting endangered animals.”; for “ecological balance”, explain it with the diagram of the food chain in the ecosystem “Maintaining ecological balance is essential for the survival of all living things.”; for “sustainable development”, illustrate its application in animal protection “We should pursue sustainable development to ensure the long - term survival of animals.” After each vocabulary is explained, ask students to make sentences in combination with the actual situation of animal protection, such as “The illegal hunting of wild animals is a major threat to their survival, which may accelerate their extinction.” Complex Grammar Teaching: Use examples to explain the use of complex grammar structures. For the subjunctive mood, give more examples like “If people didn't destroy the forests, many animals would have a better living environment.” For non - finite verbs, show sentences such as “The panda eating bamboo looks so lovely.” and “To protect the environment for animals, we should reduce pollution.” Let students analyze the functions of these grammar structures in the sentences. Design Intent: Creating an international forum situation can arouse students' sense of mission and enthusiasm for learning. The detailed teaching of advanced vocabulary and complex grammar with vivid examples can help students better understand and master these difficult language points, providing language support for subsequent learning activities.
Practice (15 minutes) Reading Practice: Provide students with a short passage about animal protection, such as an excerpt from an academic report on the protection of a certain endangered species. Let students read it carefully and then complete tasks like filling in the blanks with the new words they just learned, finding sentences with complex grammar structures and analyzing them. For example, the passage may contain a sentence “The destruction of their habitats, caused by deforestation and urban expansion, has put many species on the verge of extinction.” Students need to identify “caused by” as a non - finite verb structure and explain its function. Writing Practice: Arrange students to write a short paragraph about the importance of protecting a certain animal they like. Require them to use at least three new words and one complex sentence pattern. For example, a student may write “Tigers are important for maintaining ecological balance. If we don't take immediate measures to protect them, they may face extinction soon. Protecting tigers is not only for their survival but also for the sustainable development of the whole ecosystem.” Design Intent: Reading practice can help students consolidate new vocabulary and grammar in the context, and improve their reading comprehension ability. Writing practice allows students to output what they have learned, exercise their writing ability, and at the same time deepen their understanding of animal protection.
Production (10 minutes) Grouping: Divide students into groups of four or five. Discussion Topic: Set a discussion topic like “What are the most effective ways to protect wild animals in our daily life ” Each group is required to discuss and list at least three ways. During the discussion, students should use the language knowledge they have learned, including new vocabulary and sentence patterns. For example, they may say “We can support sustainable development by choosing products with eco - friendly labels, which helps to protect the habitats of wild animals.” Presentation: Each group selects a representative to present their discussion results to the whole class. After the presentation, other groups can ask questions and make comments. Design Intent: Group discussion can promote students' communication and cooperation ability. In the process of discussion and presentation, students can further practice using English to express their views, and also learn from each other, expanding their thinking on animal protection.
Summary and Homework (3 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this class with students, including important vocabulary, grammar, and the main ideas about animal protection discussed. Emphasize the significance of applying the learned language knowledge to real - life communication and the importance of continuous attention to animal protection. Homework Assignment: Written Homework: Ask students to write an essay of about 150 words on “My Suggestions for Animal Protection in Our City”. They should use at least five new words and three complex sentence patterns. Research Homework: Require students to search for information about an international animal protection organization and make a simple presentation about its history, achievements, and current projects next class. Design Intent: Summary can help students review and strengthen the knowledge learned in class. The written homework can further improve students' writing ability, and the research homework can cultivate students' autonomous learning ability and expand their knowledge of animal protection.
