Today, we are going to explore something really special in our Unit 5 - Working the Land. We've already learned a lot about different farming methods, the importance of agriculture, and the great contributions of agricultural scientists. Now, we are going to shift our focus to a unique place that combines education and sustainable farming. So, are you ready to embark on this new journey? S: Yes! T: Before we start, let's think about this. Do you think there is a special kind of university that focuses on teaching students how to farm in an environmentally friendly way? Raise your hands if you think so. (Students raise their hands) T: Great! Many of you have an idea. Now, let's find out if your thoughts match what we are going to discover. We are going to watch a video about a very special university in Costa Rica. But before we watch, let's first look at some words and phrases that might appear in the video. 词汇预热 T: (Writes on the board: sustainable farming, ecological balance, scholarships, profit) Now, let's quickly go through these words. Who can tell me what "sustainable farming" might mean? You, please. S1: Maybe it's about farming in a way that can last for a long time without harming the environment. T: Excellent! That's exactly it. Sustainable farming is all about using methods that are good for the environment and can be continued in the long run. How about "ecological balance"? What does that bring to your mind? S2: It's like keeping the nature in a good balance, like the relationship between plants, animals, and the environment. T: Perfect! Ecological balance means maintaining the natural harmony in the environment. Now, "scholarships". We all know this word, right? But in the context of a university related to farming, why do you think scholarships might be important? Discuss in pairs for a minute. (Students discuss) T: Okay, time's up. Who wants to share? S3: Maybe to help students who can't afford to study there, especially if they are from poor areas. T: You are absolutely right. Scholarships can help students from disadvantaged backgrounds to get an education. And finally, "profit". How do you think this word relates to a university that also does farming? S4: Maybe they sell the things they grow on the farm and make money, which can be used for the school or something. T: Great thinking! Profit from farming can indeed be used for various purposes in the university. Now that we are clear on these words, let's move on to the video. 视频观看前的问题引导 T: Before we press play, I want you to keep a few questions in mind. First, what is so special about this Earth University in Costa Rica? Second, what kind of sustainable farming methods do the students learn there? And third, how does the university use the profit from its farming activities? Try to find the answers as you watch the video. So, let's start the video. 第一次视频观看 (The teacher plays the video. Students watch attentively) 初次讨论分享 T: Alright, the first part of the video is over. Let's start with the first question. What did you notice that's special about Earth University? Share your thoughts in groups of four. (Students discuss in groups) T: Okay, let's hear from some groups. Group 1, please. S5: We think it's special because the students learn both in classrooms and in the fields. It's not like a normal university where you only study in buildings. T: That's a great point. Learning in a practical environment is really unique. Group 3, do you have anything different to add? S6: Yes, we noticed that most of the students come from Latin America and Africa, especially from rural impoverished areas. It's different from other universities that might have students from all over the world in a more balanced way. T: Excellent observation. The university's focus on students from these specific regions is indeed a special feature. Now, let's move on to the second question. What sustainable farming methods did you see in the video? 再次小组讨论及分享 (Students discuss in their groups again) T: Group 5, would you like to start? S7: They grow bananas, and they seem to use natural ways to take care of the plants. They don't use a lot of chemicals. T: Right. Growing crops without excessive chemical use is a key part of sustainable farming. Group 7, what else did you find? S8: They also learn about ecological balance in class. Maybe they apply what they learn to their farming, like making sure the environment around the farm is in a good state. T: Very good. Understanding ecological balance and applying it to farming is crucial. Now, for the third question. How does the university use the profit from its farming activities? (Students discuss) T: Group 4, your turn. S9: They use the money from selling bananas to provide scholarships for students from poor areas. T: Exactly. It's a great way to give back and help more students get an education. Now, let's watch the second part of the video to see if we can find more interesting information. 第二次视频观看 (The teacher plays the second part of the video) 深入讨论及总结 T: Now that we've watched the whole video, let's have a deeper discussion. Why do you think it's important for a university like Earth University to exist? Discuss in your groups and try to come up with at least three reasons. (Students have a more in - depth discussion) T: Group 2, let's hear your reasons. S10: First, it can teach students from poor areas the skills they need to go back to their home countries and improve farming there. Second, it promotes sustainable farming, which is really important for the environment. Third, it helps to solve the problem of lack of education in rural areas of Latin America and Africa. T: Those are excellent reasons. Group 6, do you have any additional points? S11: Yes. It also creates a community of people who care about sustainable agriculture. And it can inspire other universities or institutions to follow this model. Also, it can contribute to the local economy in Costa Rica through selling its agricultural products. T: Wonderful! You've all thought very deeply. Now, let's summarize what we've learned today. Earth University in Costa Rica is a unique institution where students learn sustainable farming methods, combining classroom learning with field experience. The profit from their farming activities is used to support students from disadvantaged backgrounds. And the existence of such a university is of great significance for promoting sustainable agriculture, providing education opportunities, and contributing to the development of rural areas in different parts of the world. T: For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about what you think is the most important aspect of Earth University and why. You can use the words and ideas we've discussed today. That's all for today's class. See you next time! 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 $$
