Ask them: "Do you know these animals? Are they common in our daily life?" Then show some pictures of extinct animals like dinosaurs. Ask: "Why are these animals no longer on the earth?" Lead students to think about the current situation of wild animals. 2 Pre - reading (8 minutes) Present new words and phrases related to wild animals and protection on the blackboard or using PPT. Teach students how to pronounce and understand their meanings. For example, when teaching "extinct", show a picture of a dodo bird and explain that it is extinct. Divide students into groups of four. Give each group a set of cards with words and phrases related to wild animals (some are new, some are known). Let them discuss and classify these words, and then ask some groups to report their classification results. 3 While - reading (15 minutes) Provide students with a short passage about wild animals in danger, such as the situation of koalas in Australia. Ask students to read the passage quickly and answer the following questions: What wild animal is the passage mainly about? Why is this animal in danger? Let students read the passage again carefully. This time, ask them to underline the key sentences and words that describe the animal's situation and the reasons for its endangerment. After reading, invite some students to share the key information they have found. Then, explain the passage sentence by sentence, especially the new vocabulary and sentence patterns used in it. For example, when explaining "Koalas are in danger of extinction because of habitat loss", emphasize the usage of "in danger of" and "because of". 4 Post - reading (10 minutes) Organize a group discussion. Give each group a topic: "What can we do to protect wild animals?" Each group members should express their opinions. Encourage them to use the sentence patterns they have just learned, such as "We should… to protect…" After the discussion, ask each group to choose a representative to report their group's ideas to the whole class. The rest of the students can ask questions or add their own suggestions. Summarize the common protection measures proposed by students, such as protecting habitats, stopping hunting, and setting up nature reserves. 5 Writing (7 minutes) Guide students to write a short passage about protecting wild animals. First, let them list the main points in their minds, such as the importance of protecting wild animals, the current situation of some wild animals, and the measures we can take. Then, ask students to start writing. Remind them to use the correct grammar, new words, and sentence patterns. Walk around the classroom to offer help if necessary. After students finish writing, ask them to exchange their passages with their partners and check each other's work. They can correct the spelling, grammar mistakes, and give some simple comments. 教学反思 In this class, through various teaching methods such as picture - showing, group discussion, reading, and writing, students have a certain understanding of wild animals and their protection. The use of vivid pictures in the lead - in part successfully arouses students' interest. However, in the teaching process, it is found that some students still have difficulties in expressing their opinions accurately in English, especially when proposing protection measures. In future teaching, more oral practice and writing exercises should be carried out to improve students' language proficiency. Also, for group discussions, some groups did not fully involve all members. Teachers need to strengthen guidance to ensure that every student can actively participate in class activities. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
