1.            Checking homework (2 min.)

T: Now I suggest you revising our lexical and grammar material. First let’s check your homework. What was your task?

S: We had to complete the gaps with the correct infinitive or –ing form of the verbs in brackets, ex.5, p.84.

T: OK, let’s start from the first sentence. Read them in turn.

Students’ answers

T: Well done! Thank you!

2.            Revising lexical and grammar material (8 min.)

T: Now let’s revise our lexical material. To do the next task we need to use computer programme. So that I divide you into two groups.

     Group 1 (students ‘names), take your places at the computers. You have to replace the words in bold with a synonym using the words in the box. (“My Test” on the PC) You have 3 minutes for this task.  Appendix 2

     Group 2 (students ‘names), stay at your places. Your task is to match the words in the list with the nouns and make some sentences using our grammar point. Use the verbs on the blackboard. You have 3 minutes too.  Appendix 3                                                    (on the blackboard: protect, avoid, must, should, want, would like….)                                                     E.g. I really want …(to understand the causes of greenhouse effect)                                       Students’ answers

T: The time is up. Group 1, are you ready? How many points have you got?                             S: 10 points. (T: Well done!)                                                                                                        S: 8 points. (T: What mistakes have you got? Read your sentence. What is the right variant?)                                                                                                                                              T: Thank you. Take your places. And now the task for all of you. (Pair work) You’ll work in pairs. You have the task to match the phrases to form complete sentences. Explain your choice.  You have 1 minute.  Appendix 4                                                                             T: The time is up. I think you are ready. Let’s check.                                                                T: Thank you for your work. It was excellent but I have one more task for you.

3.  Listening (6 min.)

(Этап закрепления с проговариванием во внешней речи)

T: Have you ever experienced such natural disaster as flood?  But the habitats of the South-Eastern Asia have done. Let’s listen to the report about this terrible event in Bangladesh.                                                                                                                    Pre-listening activity:                                                                                                                  T: On the blackboard you can see some key-words. Let’s read them.                                                   On the blackboard: Bangladesh, hit by heavy rains, serious flooding, people died, others made homeless, animals drown, rescue workers, trapped, food, medicines, tents.                                                                                                                                                                  T: So, let’s listen to the report.    Appendix 5                                                                      Post-listening activity: Role-play, group work.                                                                               T: To do the next task let’s unit into 3 groups.

The rescue workers and the victims, you answer their questions briefly. Using given information journalists have to make a brief report about the recent flood in Bangladesh. Is it clear? OK. Listen again and answer the questions of journalists:

1)    What has happened?

2)    When and where has it happened?

3)    How many people have been made homeless?

4)    How many people have died? Around 3000 people.

(Student), go to the blackboard, you are the leader now. Let’s start.                                                                                                                     S: Stand up, please. Act like an earthquake, a hurricane, a tornado…Thank you. Sit down.

4.     Reading (8 min.)                                                                                                                            (Этап включения изученного в систему знаний)

T: The aim of the next part of the lesson is to teach you to find out and appreciate the information, analyze it and draw conclusions using your logical thinking.

T: You know we have spent thousands of years fighting for our survival. Nowadays we have discovered that our planet is under threat and, to make matters worse, it’s all our fault. You have the texts on your desks. I want you to read this article about the problems of our planet. And your task is to choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each part 1-4. You have 4 minutes.  Appendix 6

T: The time is up. I think you are ready. Let’s check.

Students’ answers

You have 3 minutes.  Appendix 8                                                                                                   T: Time is up. So look at your notes and talk about the problems our planet is facing.                                                                                                                                                   Students’ answers                                                                                                                                                T: Thank you so much. You are great!

III. Summarizing (3 min.+ 3 min.)                                                                      (Этап рефлексии учебной деятельности на уроке)

T: At the beginning of the lesson I have proposed you the part of the Native American saying:

 “When the last tree is cut down and the last fish is killed, the last river is poisoned, then …”

T: Please give your own ending of this quotation.  You may start with “people will understand…”     

  Students’ answers

T: You are right. Look at the screen, there is a whole saying there:                                          “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught, will we realized we cannot eat money”

T: Do you agree with it? Thank you. I agree with you. I hope you understand that the problem of pollution doesn’t have any borders and we have to protect nature in the whole world.

T: Our lesson is coming to the end and I want to thank everybody who took part in our work. Let’s summarize. What have we done?

  Students’ answers

T: . Let’s summarize our work with haiku (or cinquain)

T: Nice. Our work was great and we’ll continue it in our next lesson. So your home task for the next lesson is to prepare for the test. You have to revise vocabulary, grammar, word formation and using prepositions with phrasal verb “call”. Is it clear?  Your marks are:

Appendix 5

This week Bangladesh has been hit by heavy rains. The rains have caused serious flooding in the area. Many people have died. Others have lost their houses.  These rains are the worst the area has experienced in the last ten years. Thousands of people have been made homeless. Around 3000 people have died. Many animals have drowned. Rescue workers are trying to save people who are trapped in their houses. A local farmer said: “I’ve lost everything – my house and all my cattle.” The government has asked other countries to help. Food, medicines and tents are being sent to the area.

 

 

Appendix 6

The rainforests are dying, rare plant and animal species are disappearing, rivers and seas are being contaminated, people are dying of hunger and the air is being polluted.

One of the major problems is the destruction of the rainforests in South America. They are home to half the world’s species and to millions of people. Moreover, the rainforests clean the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen. The trees are being cut down for paper or to make room for cattle farms. As a result, birds and animals lose their homes and die. This destruction is also bringing about changes in the climate, air pollution, flood, drought, and famine.

Another big problem is water pollution. Can you imagine that swimming in the sea or drinking a glass of water is not safe? Factories are polluting our rivers and lakes with dangerous chemicals. Oil tankers are releasing thick, black oil into our oceans. Tons of industrial and domestic waste are poured into our seas. As a result sea life is threatened with extinction.

Air pollution is another important issue. The cars and factories in and around our cities are giving off dangerous fumes. More and more people have developed allergies and breathing problems. If we don’t do something now, our cities will become impossible to live in.

Fortunately, it is not too late to solve these problems. We have the time, the money and even the technology to prepare the way for a better, cleaner and safer future. We can plant trees and adopt animals. We can create parks for endangered species. We can put pressure on those in power to take action. Together we can save our planet.

A)    A water grave

B)    Running out of time

C)    Choking to death

D)   No trees – no life

E)    We can do it!

Appendix 7

           1) the destruction ….the rainforests  4) to live……a city

           2) to cut down …..paper                        5) to put pressure…..sb

           3) to die ….hunger                                   6) those…..power
