Today, we are going to watch a very interesting and meaningful video. The topic of our unit is Wildlife Protection, and this video will show us a special programme that is making a big difference in the lives of some amazing animals. So, are you all ready? Video Narrator: [The video starts with a beautiful view of the Kenyan savannah. The sun is just rising, casting a warm glow over the landscape.] In Kenya, there is a remarkable programme that is dedicated to rescuing orphaned elephants. [Shows a group of young elephants standing together.] These elephants have lost their mothers, either to poaching, lack of food, or diseases. [The camera focuses on an elephant keeper, Mishak Naimbi, as he starts to speak.] Mishak Naimbi, Elephant Keeper: Elephants are... are like humans. If you love them, they will love you too. They live on this land, Zahimbe, because they don't have their mothers. Their mothers have been killed by people. Others have died because of no food, not enough food for them, and some because of diseases. Teacher: Now, class, think about what the keeper just said. How are elephants similar to humans? Discuss this in pairs for a minute. [Students start discussing in pairs] Student A: Well, he said if you love them, they love you back. Just like with humans, our relationships are based on love and care. Student B: Yeah, and they also seem to have strong family bonds. Losing their mothers is really sad, just like it would be for us. Teacher: Great points! Let's keep watching the video to learn more about these amazing creatures. Video Narrator: Every day, the elephants wake up at 5:30 am. [Shows the elephants slowly getting up and stretching.] The keepers then lead them to the forest. [The keepers are seen gently guiding the elephants, and the elephants are walking obediently.] They feed them and play with them. Elephants... they love each other, yeah. They are like... like, our elephants here, they are not from the same area. They are from all over the country. But when they come here, they make friends. They learn to survive together. Teacher: Look at how the elephants interact with each other. What can we learn from their social behavior? Raise your hands and share your thoughts. Student C: They show that even though they are from different places, they can still become friends. It teaches us about acceptance and getting along with others who are different. Student D: And they learn to survive together. It shows the importance of teamwork, just like in our lives when we work together in groups. Teacher: Wonderful insights! Now, let's see what else happens in the day of these elephants. Video Narrator: [The elephants are now in the forest, eating leaves from the trees. The keepers are standing nearby, watching.] The keepers stay with the elephants in their native environment, also known as “the bush.” [Shows the thick vegetation of the bush.] We take the elephants to the bush. [The elephants are walking deeper into the forest, exploring.] Mishak Naimbi: We stay with them because we have to feed them every 3 hours, day and night. Because the elephants - when they come, they don't have their mothers, and we have to do the work that their mothers do. We have to sleep with them... because when we leave them alone, they cry. Teacher: Imagine having to take care of these elephants so constantly. What kind of challenges do you think the keepers face? Let's have a quick class discussion. Student E: It must be really tiring to feed them every 3 hours, both during the day and at night. They probably don't get much sleep. Student F: And dealing with the elephants' emotions when they are left alone. It's like taking care of a baby, but on a much bigger scale. Teacher: Exactly. This shows the dedication of these keepers. Now, let's continue with the video. Video Narrator: [The elephants are playing in a small waterhole, splashing water on each other.] The elephants enjoy their time in the water, which is not only a source of fun but also important for their well - being. [Shows the keepers joining in the fun, gently splashing water with the elephants.] Teacher: Notice how the keepers are involved in the elephants' playtime. What does this tell us about the relationship between the keepers and the elephants? Write your thoughts down in your notebooks. [Students start writing] Student G: It shows that the keepers don't just take care of the elephants' physical needs but also their emotional and social needs. They are like family to the elephants. Student H: The elephants trust the keepers enough to play with them. It's a really special bond. Teacher: Excellent. This relationship is crucial for the elephants' recovery and their ability to eventually return to the wild. Video Narrator: As the day goes on, the elephants continue to learn and grow in their protected environment. [Shows an older elephant teaching a younger one how to use its trunk to pick up branches.] They learn important skills that will help them survive when they are released back into the wild. Teacher: Look at how the older elephant is teaching the younger one. Why is this kind of learning important for the elephants' future in the wild? Student I: In the wild, they need to know how to find food and use their bodies properly. The older ones passing on these skills is like our parents and teachers teaching us. Student J: It ensures that the younger elephants can take care of themselves and survive without the help of the keepers. Teacher: Great understanding. Now, let's see what happens towards the end of the day. Video Narrator: [The sun is starting to set, and the keepers are leading the elephants back to their sleeping area.] As the sun sets, the elephants are led back to a safe place to sleep. The keepers make sure they are comfortable and protected during the night. [The elephants lie down, and the keepers sit nearby, keeping watch.] Teacher: Now, let's think about the overall importance of this programme. Why is it so crucial for the elephants and for the world? Let's have a group discussion in groups of four. [Students form groups and start discussing] Group 1 Representative: For the elephants, it gives them a second chance at life. Without this programme, many of them would have died. And for the world, it helps to maintain the balance of nature. Elephants play an important role in the ecosystem. Group 2 Representative: The programme also raises awareness about the threats elephants face, like poaching and habitat loss. It can inspire more people to take action to protect wildlife. Teacher: These are all very valid points. Wildlife protection is not only about saving individual species but also about maintaining the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. Video Narrator: [The video ends with a shot of the sleeping elephants and the keepers watching over them, with the stars shining brightly in the sky.] This programme in Kenya is a beacon of hope for these orphaned elephants, showing that with love, care, and dedication, we can make a difference in the lives of these magnificent creatures. Teacher: Class, before we end this video time, I want you to think about what you can do, even in your own small way, to contribute to wildlife protection. Write down at least one idea in your notebooks, and we will share them in the next class. ( 第 1 页 共 1 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
