The local government began setting up the park to protect wildlife in 2017. “The food chain for wild animals here is becoming complete,” says Ma Duifang. He believes that protecting the food chain is important. It can increase the number of wild animals. 教学过程 1. Warming - up (5 minutes) Greet the students and start the class. Show some pictures of famous national parks around the world, such as Yellowstone National Park in the USA, the Grand Canyon National Park in the USA, Sanjiangyuan National Park in China, and Giant Panda National Park in China. Ask students: “Do you know these national parks? Where are they?” Encourage students to share their knowledge about these parks. Then lead in the topic of this lesson: “Today, we are going to learn about a national park in China - the Qilian Mountain National Park.” 2. Pre - reading (10 minutes) Write the new words and phrases on the blackboard or show them on the PPT. Teach the pronunciation and meaning of each word and phrase through word - cards, body language, or examples. For example, when teaching “wildlife”, show pictures of different wild animals; when teaching “set up”, use the example “Our school set up a new library last year.” Let students read the new words and phrases after the teacher several times to ensure they can pronounce them correctly. Divide students into pairs and ask them to practice reading the new words and phrases to each other. The teacher walks around the classroom to monitor and correct their pronunciation. 3. While - reading (15 minutes) First reading: Let students read the news article about the Qilian Mountain National Park quickly. Set a question: “What is the main idea of this news?” Ask students to skim the text to find the answer. After a few minutes, invite some students to share their answers. The main idea is that people discovered over 70 kinds of wildlife in the Qilian Mountain National Park in China, and the park is an important protection project. Second reading: Ask students to read the text again carefully. This time, give them some detailed questions, such as “Where is the Qilian Mountain National Park?”, “When did the local government begin setting up the park to protect wildlife?”, “Why is protecting the food chain important?” Let students scan the text to find the answers. After they finish, check the answers together. The Qilian Mountain National Park is in Gansu Province in northwest China. The local government began setting up the park to protect wildlife in 2017. Protecting the food chain is important because it can increase the number of wild animals. Third reading: Let students read the text once more. Then ask them to work in pairs to summarize the key information of the Qilian Mountain National Park, including its location, characteristics, wildlife, etc. The teacher can provide a framework on the PPT to help them organize the information. For example: Location: Gansu Province in northwest China Characteristics: large area, rich in wildlife, green forests... Wildlife: snow leopards, wild donkeys, blue sheep... 4. Post - reading (10 minutes) Activity 1: Design a national park card Divide students into groups of 4 - 5. Ask each group to design a national park card for the Qilian Mountain National Park. They need to include the location, characteristics, wildlife, and a slogan on the card. They can search the Internet for more information if necessary. The teacher walks around the groups to provide guidance and help. Activity 2: Present the national park card Each group selects a representative to present their national park card in front of the class. The presenter should introduce the content of the card clearly and fluently. After each presentation, other groups can ask questions or give comments. 5. Summary and Homework (5 minutes) Summary: Summarize the key points of this lesson with the students, including the new words, phrases, sentence patterns, and the main idea of the text. Emphasize the importance of protecting national parks and wildlife. Homework: Ask students to write a short passage about their favorite national park. They should describe its location, what it is famous for, and why they like it. The passage should be at least 80 words. Encourage students to learn more about national parks and environmental protection by reading relevant books or watching documentaries. 教学反思 After this class, I think the overall teaching process went smoothly. The warming - up activity effectively aroused students' interest in national parks and successfully introduced the topic. In the vocabulary teaching part, through various methods, most students could master the new words and phrases. However, in the while - reading process, some students still had difficulties in understanding long sentences. In the future, I need to strengthen the training of sentence - analysis skills. The group work activities of designing and presenting the national park card were well - received by students. They actively participated and showed good teamwork spirit. But some groups spent too much time on the design, resulting in a relatively short presentation time. Next time, I will give more specific time limits for each step of the group work. Regarding the emotional education goal, although students expressed their love for nature and awareness of environmental protection in class, it remains to be seen whether this awareness can be truly internalized into their daily behaviors. I will continue to guide students to pay attention to environmental protection in daily life and organize relevant practical activities to deepen their understanding. Overall, I will keep improving my teaching methods based on the feedback from this class to achieve better teaching results. 2 / 37 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
