Thinking
Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
What’s the purpose of this passage
The author is calling on us to protect wildlife through the story of antelope.
Thinking
① It may imply the altitude(海拔) is very high and there are a lot of clouds.
Was the author real in the clouds Why did he say “in the clouds” What does it imply Discuss with your partners.
③ It may imply the writer’s feeling is worried, like a cloudy day.
② It may imply wildlife protection is very difficult, like walking in the clouds.
Group discussion
What can we do as students to change our way of life and protect wildlife
Avoid eating the meat of wildlife
Collect some useful ideas for wildlife protection
Treat the wildlife as our friends
Introduce wildlife knowledge to others
Organize voluntary activities
Never buy endangered species products
Let’s take action now!
As long as we change our way of life and learn to exist in harmony with nature, “the clouds” in Tibet will disappear one day.
