(Ниже приводится полный текст стихотворения):

Walking along feeling free

Felling the Earth here with me

And I love her, she loves me.

I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me

She’s our friend,

We’d like together forever to be.

The earth is a garden.

It’s a beautiful place.

For all living creatures,

For all the human race.

Helping Mother Earth

We can peacefully roam.

We all deserve a place

We can call our home.

Food is a treasure from the soil and the sea.

Clean, fresh air from the plants and the trees.

The warmth of the sun giving life each day

Turns water into rain, it’s nature’s way.

And I would like to thank you Mother Earth

I like to see you dressed in green and blue

I want to be by you.

Lorraine Bayes

4. Речевая разминка.

4.1. Монологические высказывания по теме “Красота природы. Необходимость ее защищать”.

Teacher: What are the main ideas of the poem?

P1: The author compares the Earth with a beautiful garden, and I agree with her. There are so many nice trees and flowers on our planet with birds flying and singing and the sun shining over it. And our task is to keep this wonderful garden clean and to plant more trees and flowers, to care for animals and birds living in it.

P2: The author calls the Earth our Mother and I think, it’s absolutely right. Like our mother, the Earth gives us food, warmth, home and life.

P3: The Earth loves us. It gives us all its treasures: fresh air, clean water, the beauty of parks and gardens, the warmth of the sun, food from the soil and the sea. And sensible people also love the Earth and must take care of it.

5.3 Монологические высказывания по теме.

Teacher: Now  it`s time for our conference “THE MAIN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF THE DAY. Items on the agenda are:

1. Air pollution

2. Destruction of the ozone layer                На смарт- доске высвечен слайд с названием

3. Water pollution                                       конференции, вопросами для обсуждения

4. Litter                                                       и флагами «стран-участниц» конференции.

5. Forests destruction

6. Endangered animals

 At our conference I’d like you to speak about the main ecological problems and the ways to solve them.

P1: I think, the most serious environmental problem is air pollution. We live in a big city with a lot of cars on the roads, factories and plants. Cars release exhaust fumes, factories give off chemicals which poison the atmosphere and damage people’s health. Polluted air can cause serious lung diseases and also destroy the ozone layer. To my mind, factories managers must set up good filters

and people should go not only by cars but by buses or on foot to stop air pollution.

P2: Normally the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects us from ultraviolet radiation. But if there are holes in the ozone layer the radiation can get to the earth and it can cause skin cancer.

P3: To my mind, another dangerous problem is water pollution. Three-quarters of our planet is water. But very little of this water is fresh and drinkable. Many oceans, seas, rivers and lakes are polluted with industrial and household waste and it’s absolutely impossible nowadays to swim or to fish in the rivers which flow in towns and cities. Waste mustn’t be dumped near or into seas, rivers and lakes.

P4: I’d like to add that litter in our parks, forests, on river banks is a terrible thing, a great problem. It damages the life of insects, birds and animals, pollutes soil and water, makes the environment look unhealthy and ugly and makes people depressed and uneasy. People must use rubbish bins!

P5: I believe, that destruction of forests is a very serious problem, too. People cut down trees to make new roads, to build houses, to make furniture or paper from wood. But the fewer trees are left the less oxygen is in the atmosphere. And it’s very dangerous for our health.

P6: A lot of animals are on the verge of extinction nowadays, unfortunately. They leave their habitats because of deforestation or they are hunted and killed illegally.

There are a lot of endangered animals nowadays: pandas, tigers, leopards, mountain gorillas. Of course, poaching must be banned and new conservancies must be built.

Ход урока

The beginning of the lesson.

T: Good morning, dear pupils!

Today we are going to continue our talk about ecology, ecological problems, the influence of a man on the environment, the importance of keeping our nature clean. You will find out how other people protect the environment and wildlife and think of the ways you can protect the environment.  

1. Evocation

(slide 1) ( The teacher draws a cluster on the board)

Which words are associated with the word “ecology”?

Ecology

Look at the pictures and say what they are about? (Presenting thematic pictures)

answer the questions.

(slides 2-7)

T:

What is the current situation with the forests/rivers/air?

What happens in our country?

What ecological problems are the most important in our region?

Do you believe that our environment is in danger? Why/why not?

Do you agree that our nature is dangerously polluted? Why?/ Why not?

Do you agree that because of land, air, and water pollution our plants and animals are dying? Why/Why not?

Why do you think our environment is polluted?

Do you find that pollution is a very serious problem nowadays? Why?/Why not?

Why can’t fish live in rivers?

Why are the birds, animals and the wildlife in danger?

Do you think our planet needs protection? Why?

II. Realization of meaning

  T: Yes, you are quite right. The ecological situation is very serious in our country.

 Now I want you to see the presentation about ecological problems.  Be ready to answer my questions.                                                                                          

Many animals are disappearing nowadays. People cut down trees and many animals lose their homes.

Plants and factories send smoke into the atmosphere. The results  are changing of climate and global warming.

We have a problem with dirty air too. People can’t breathe in big cities because the air isn't fresh.

Water is very important for us and without drinkable water we’ll die. Different plants make water dirty. People can’t drink this water and animals die in this water.

People leave rubbish at the seaside too. It is also very bad.

The result is very sad.

T:  What do you think people should do to protect our nature?

Example:  We must(not)…

P-s:

We must protect our nature and animals from disappearing.

We must keep water clean and mustn't leave rubbish on the roads.

We must keep air fresh and mustn't send smoke to the air.

We must think about our atmosphere and global warming.

   In Britain there are a lot of people who think about the future of our planet. Your  home task was to find out what Nick does to help the Earth? Please, say if it is true or false.

I think there are a lot of ways we can help to save the Earth. For example, we can reduce land pollution. One way is to remember the three R's (to reuse, to reduce, to recycle). I save plastic food containers. You can make good water toys from them. Before I buy something, I ask myself the following questions: "Can I recycle it?” If I cannot I try not to buy it in order not to spoil the environment.I try to help the planet. I've asked my mum to help me  to make a protecting area  for birds and other wild animals. We have planted trees. We've also made a pond to help frogs. I want to be the kid who saves the Earth!

Now, please, find out if these statements are true or false according to the text.

1-Nick thinks that there are not many ways we can help the Earth.

2- Nick tries to reduce air pollution.

3- Nick reuses plastic containers to reduce land pollution.

4- The boy is indifferent to the planet.

5- Nick takes care of the environment and wildlife.

T: Now I want you to express your opinion to the question “How to be friendly to the environment?” What does it mean?  Organize a role play according to the technology “RAFT” (“Role, Audience, Form, Topic”). Divide into groups and choose roles. (scientists, ecologists, .)

Role Card 3

You are a group of young volunteers. You are discussing problems of our polluted environment at the meeting

I’ll give you five-seven minutes.

Cards:  

To be friendly to the environment means ...
