Getting students ready for learning （4 mins) |
Class activity |
Present a picture of heavy haze in Beijing and analyze the cause of it, learning some of the new words. T: Hi, class. Look at this picture. It’s Beijing. What’s the weather like there? T: It’s neither cloudy nor foggy. It’s hazy. The word“haze”was the most frequently mentioned word in 2013 in the media in China. Especially in the big cities in northern China. How do you think the haze comes into being? T: What you said sounds reasonable. Air pollution plays an important part. Luckily, the government is taking measures to solve this serious problem, and many organizations are taking part in the environmental protection, too. Jane is working for such an organization. |
Present a picture of heavy haze in Beijing and analyse the cause of it, learning some of the new words. S1: It’s cloudy. S2: It’s foggy. S3: I think air pollution causes haze. S4: I think too many cars. S5: I think too many factories. |
学生没有学过hazy (有霾的)，haze(霾)，老师要用汉语标注一下。学生弄懂以后才能展开后面的活动。老师在点评时可以讲解：protection, organization. 最好用构词法来呈现：protect(v)+tion=protection(n) organize（v,组织)+tion= organization (n)。 |

Lead-in （4 mins) |
Class activity |
Present some real objects to learn more new words and lead to 1a. T: Perhaps some of you think it’s difficult for students to do something to protect the environment. In fact, if you keep doing three R’s in your daily life, you will be a greener person. Could you guess what the three R’s refer to? T: Sorry, guess again. T: Sorry, guess again. T: Smart boy! You have got one. T: Wonderful! You have got another. What’s the third one? T: Now, let me tell you. It’s “recycle”. （Show the logo of recycling） Do you often see this sign on the boxes or bottles ? T: Three R’s are very important in our life. For example, we should reuse plastic bags and recycle batteries and drink cans. |
Present some real objects to learn more new words and lead to 1a. S1:Refuse S2:Remember S3: Reuse. S4: Reduce. S5:.. Ss: Yes. |
老师在提到Three R’s 时，应马上板书出来，并让学生猜是哪三个单词，借此讲解“re(再)+cycle（圆，环）=recycle (v). 老师在讲解该词时可以出示循环使用的标志以帮助理解新词。 老师在展示实物时，应马上板书并讲解新词。如：plastic, battery, can. |

Pre-listening (2 mins) |
Individual work |
Let the Ss read the table in 1b to get to know what they should pay attention to while listening. T: Now, please read the table in 1b. This time, the listening task is a little difficult. Only when you understand the dialog, can you complete the table. So while listening, you had better pay attention to the main content of the dialog. |
Read the table in 1b to get to know what they should pay attention to while listening. |
1b的听写填空需要学生在完全理解对话的基础上完成，老师要提醒学生专注于听内容并要求学生在听前阅读1b,预测听力内容。 |

While-listening (5 mins) |
Individual work |

Listen to 1a and finish 1b. Check the answers. S1: Organization, protect the environment. S2: spread the message S3: … |

Post-listening (10 mins) |
Individual work Class activity Class activity |
Step 1: Let the Ss read 1a and do 1c. Then check the answers. T: We have listened to the interview, and now let’s read it. Please complete the sentences in 1c while reading. If you finish, please let me know. T: Shall we start checking the answers now? T: xxx, shall we start from you? Step2: Let the Ss read 1a again to find the sentences which give suggestions. T: Have you found that in this dialog many sentences contain suggestions? T: Have you found such sentences, xxx? T: We usually use “should” to give suggestions. Who can give us an example? Step 3: Deal with language points in 1a. T: Mmm, good examples. I hope you will act as you said. Any questions? Hands up! T: xxx, please. T: Good question. We know the first “that” is an object clause, and the second one is a new kind of grammar. We will learn it in Unit4. It’s called“attributive clause”. Change it into“and it”, you will understand the sentence better. Who can put this sentence into Chinese? T: Perfect! Any more questions? T: Sure. “Sort” here is a verb. It means“divide according to different kinds”.“Can be recycled”is also a kind of grammar. It’s called passive voice. Because the waste can’t recycle by itself. It’s people who recycle it. In Chinese, the whole sentence is“然后，我们把它们进行分类以便它们能被回收再利用。” |
Read 1a and finish 1c. Ss: Sure. S1: Reduce, reuse ,recycle S2: Sides, plastic S3: … Read 1a again to find the sentences which give suggestions. Ss: Yes. S1: We should reduce the waste we produce. S2: We should use both sides of paper and reuse plastic bags. S3: … S4: We should listen to the teacher carefully in class. S5: We should keep the classroom clean. S6: We shouldn’t waste water. Step 3: Read 1a again and ask questions about some difficult points. S1: How to understand the second “that” in “We all know that you… that environment”? S2:我们都知道你在一个保护环境的组织里工作。 S3: Could you explain “Then we sort them so that they can be recycled”? |
对于本课出现的定语从句和情态动词的被动语态，老师只要让学生理解句子意思即可，不要求深度解释。为了让学生便于理解，老师可以简单地用“把”字句和“被”字句来解释被动语态。 |

Finishing Task 2 (13 mins) |
Class activity Class activity Individual work |
Step 1: Present the following sentences on the small Bb or on the screen. Let the Ss understand the underlined words to learn conjunctions. Sentences: So what can we do at home to protect the environment? Recycling can protect the environment, and it can save money, too. So we encourage students to collect waste paper and soft drink cans. T: Please look at the sentences on the Bb and understand the underlined parts. What do we call the underlined words? T: Who can tell me some more conjunctions? T: Besides these, I can name more conjunctions, such as: for, as, since, etc. And we usually use conjunctions to make compound sentences. For example: Hurry up, or you will be late for school. Zhang Hong likes apples, but I don’t like apples at all. Huang Rong is good at math while her twin sister is good at English. This coat looks nice and it’s cheap, too. Step2: Let one student come to the front to perform to learn the new words. T: Look! There are some sentences in 2. Now, read them quickly and circle the new words. If you finish, put up your hand. T: xxx, please come here. T: Only use your head, if you want to mean “yes”, what will you do? T: Right. Nodding the head means agreement. Now, how to express“no”？ T:Yes. Shaking the head means“disagreement”. T: Good performance. Please go back to your seat. T: Can you guess the meaning of the phrase“give up”in Number 5? T: Yes. I hope you will never give up when you are in trouble. Step3: Let the Ss combine the sentences with the given words in 2. Check the answers. T: Now, combine the sentences with the given conjunctions quickly. When you finish, please put up your hand. T: Now, it’s time to check the answers. Any volunteers? |
Understand the underlined words to learn the conjunctions. S1:连接词。 S2: but, or S3: while ,because Learn the new words through actions. S1: (nod his head) S1: (shake his head) S2:放弃 Combine the sentences with the given words in 2. Check the answers. S1: Noise is a kind of pollution and it’s harmful to our hearing. S2: Work hard, or you will fail the exam. S3: … |
并列句是本课的学习重点。老师如果觉得用英语讲解学生难以弄明白，不妨就用汉语表述。但是“compound sentence, conjunction”这些术语要学生能听懂才行，学生以后会经常听到。老师最好将所举的例子板书出来，以加深印象。 老师可以自己（最好让学生）做动作同时辅以构词法来讲解: agree (v) + ment =agreement(n) dis(不)+agree（v）+ment= disagreement(n)。 |
