建议1：通过图画呈现新单词。教师向学生呈现一组图片并向学生提出问题，从而逐步呈现新语言项目save，flag，forget，place，water，danger，be in( great) danger，cut down,killover。

（教师用图片引出其他的新单词并让学生跟读，进行机械操练。为进一步学习打下良好的基础。）
建议2：通过师生自由交际，自然地呈现出本课时的新单词，做到过渡自然，易于学生掌握。 For example:
T:HelIo,Boys and girls! Listen to me carefully! Please answer my questions,OK? Ss:OK.
T:What animals do you like?
Ss:Pandas,lions,elephants.…T:Peter,why do you like elephants? Sl:Because they're big and interesting. And they're very smart. T:Where are they from? Do you know? ,Sl:Sorry,l don't know.
T:Well,Let me tell you. They're from Thailand. And the elephant is one of
Thailand'ssymbols. They are in great danger. We must save them. People cut down many
trees and alsokill elephants for their ivory.
（通过师生自由交际，呈现Thailand,symbol,cut down,ivory,in great danger等单词，创设情景让学生去感知新单词。） Step 3:Practice＆taskTask
1：圈出2a中你认为处于极大危险中的动物，并说说理由。
For example:
Sl:I think the tigers are in great danger. Because people often kill them.
S2:I think the elephants are in great danger. Because people cut down many trees so ele-phants are losing their homes. People also kill elephants for their ivory. Task 2：贝姬是吉尔最喜欢的动物。把方框中的单词填人3a中的空白处。
（每个人都有自己最喜爱的动物。Jill也不例外，他最喜爱的动物是Becky。让我们通过完成3a的填空练习，来了解有关Becky的详细情况吧。）
Task 3：完成3b。用方框中的单词写一篇描写熊猫的文章，或根据自己的想法描写一个你最喜欢的动物。
Beibei,five years old,China,cute,shy,Beijing ZooFor example: This is Beibei. She is my favorite animal. Isn't she cute? She is from China. She is 5years old. She is very shy.I like her very much because she is very smart and friendly. Shelives in Beijing Zoo. Task 4:Make a survey
让学生以小组为单位展开采访调查，采访小组成员最喜欢的动物是什么？叫什么名字？ 几岁了？来自哪个动物园？然后让学生根据采访内容进行完成表格。最后写一份采访报告。以此来训练学生的写作能力。 For example: Students' name Lin Hao Lily Peter Favorite animals' name Ben Panpan Bill Age 8 5 I don?f know rrOm Africa China Australia Feature She likes to Play with her f riends and eat meat. She's very beaut.i f ul and shy. He sleeps during the day and gets up at night. 注：标斜体部分可以作为空格考查用。
~Step 4:Reading(2b)
Task l:Fast reading( scanning)让学生迅速浏览2b部分网页中的文章，然后为它选择最佳标题。（通过速读来培养学生快速捕捉文章大意的能力。）
Task 2:Careful reading让学生再细读文章，完成2c部分任务。（此环节是阅读的精髓，通过详细阅读并完成2c的mind map，学生能积累大量的语言材料，并能极大地刺激学生的表达欲望。）
Task 3:Reading aloud
让学生跟磁带大声朗读，然后自己读来矫正发音。
（朗读矫正学生的读音，有利于语言学习，同时形成良好的阅读习惯。） Task 4:Intensive reading
让学生再读文章，然后以小组为单位找一些短语。
For example:
Isymb01 0f,good luck, help sb.to do sth.be in great danger,cut down,losekill…for…（教师采用这种逐步递进的阅读任务能培养学生不同的阅读能力和技巧，同时在阅读过程中通过完成2c训练学生分析问题、解决问题的能力，从而提高学生的自学能力。） Step 5：Post-reading
Task 1：让学生反复阅读2b，并根据2c中的文章框架复述2b内容。
Task 2：小组讨论。你知道陷入最大危险中的动物是什么吗？它是来自哪个国家的？ 对于国家的重要性是什么？它具有什么样的能力？现状如何？……最后由一位代表来表述他们讨论的结果。然后让学生形成书面材料，从而达到进一步训练写作能力的目的。 N Step 6 :Task
