Motivation for the lesson theme.

My dear students, yesterday I received an invitation from the Ministry of the Environment of Kazakhstan to participate in the scientific congress in Astana next month. We must be prepared for it, but they seem to forget to inform us about the theme of the congress. They have just sent me a letter with some photos, perhaps, studying it we will be able to realize what the topic is. So let’s do it now together!

Work in groups and try to define the main idea of the letter, using these possible prompts (возможные названия темы конгресса у учащихся на партах)

1. Travelling around our wonderful world

2. Global problems of the Earth

3. Protecting nature

(Students choose the right variant and stick it in the middle of the blackboard.)

Teacher – What feeling do you have after watching the photos? (sympathy, anger, sadness, horror, sorrow). Do you really believe our planet is in danger now? Do you expect a lot of fun from our lesson?

Now I hope we will prepare for the congress, won’t we?

(G) Pre-reading: Vocabulary work

1. Learners are grouped in two teams A and B. “A” team learners will get definitions or descriptions of new words, Group B learners get flashcards with new words matching certain definitions of team A. “A” team learners read their definitions for B team to match their flashcards.

2. Match the word from the left column to those from the right one

3. (Learners in groups discuss the following question: Why do we have to protect nature?)

Teacher - Great job, and now let’s refresh the main ideas on this topic. Look at the words and the pictures in our envelope once again and answer the first question: Why do we have to protect nature?

(examples:

- Because it is beautiful.

- Because I want to live on a clean planet.

- Because the air, the trees and the flowers should not be destroyed, etc)

FA; teachers observes their discussion.

(G) Reading

1. p.41 the text “Protecting nature”

Physical minute: a song “Mother Earth”

2. Learners work in groups, they should have a pile of stickers. They read a text where there are gaps. They have to complete the text with their own words which they write on their stickers. After that they put their stickers on the board.

FA: teacher checks learners’ answers as a whole group. For each correct/ appropriate answer a group gets a point.

Differentiation: Teacher may form the groups in the way to support less able learners.

(G) Post reading:

1. T. Ok, nowadays much attention is paid to the environmental problems. I am going to show you some international ecological signs. They are international because they are known all over the world. You will describe these signs using the new expressions from the book and some modal verbs. What modal verbs do you remember?

Ученики называют модальные глаголы should, must и объясняют вкратце их употребление.

Учитель показывает экологические знаки

- We must not destroy wildlife.

- We must not throw away litter into seas and rivers.

- We should recycle paper, metal and glass.

- We must reduce pollution, etc.

2. T: Can you make an international ecological sign yourself? Please, invent it now! And then comment on your work.

FA:

T: (W). My dear students, thank you for your work, now I feel we are prepared for the conference, and the last task for you: let us sing the wonderful song of the Saving earth promise.
