Wildlife: Here, you can discover amazing wild animals like __________________.
Activities: There are many fun things to do. You can _______________ and _______________.

教学设计使用建议：
化解课文长难句（针对基础薄弱生）：
第七年级的学生面对带有破折号的从句（如 which is 72 km wide!）可能会产生畏难情绪。学案中的 Task 3 表格 刻意绕开了复杂的语法分析，直接引导学生去抓取核心意群（数字、名词），帮助他们建立“我能读懂英语长文”的自信。
探究者视角的引入：
在处理文章第一段时，重点突出了 save our natural heritage。这不仅是语言学习，更是引导学生探究“人类与自然环境的关系”，符合具有国际视野的探究式教学导向。
词汇的滚动复习：
课本第31页第3题的选词填空直接做可能较难。建议在完成学案的 Task 5 (Word Detectives) 之后，再让学生去完成课本上的第3题作为巩固，此时正确率会大幅提升。
