II. Teaching materials analyzing and rearranging教材分析和重组
1．教材分析
本单元以“Wild animals”为话题，旨在通过单元教学，帮助学生了解世界上尚存的珍稀动物，阐述它们现在面临的种种生存危机，学生将会对此产生评论并对此想出各种对策。本单元将以国宝——熊猫来展开深入的讨论，向同学介绍熊猫的生活习性以及现在面临的生存危机。
通过对熊猫的介绍，首先要在情感上起到渲染作用，激发学生救护野生动物的强烈愿望。在这个基础上，再进行知识培养，首先在词汇学习上，学生应掌握本单元出现的有关野生动物的名字，以及课文中出现的生词、词组。学生在掌握课文之后，要求能够简单阐述，并对有关现象书写报告。在语法上，本单元的知识重点是条件句的运用，以及如何阐述事情的原因，在课堂设计上，这两个知识点的教学也占了相当重要的比例，要求学生能够熟练运用到听说读写当中去。在综合能力的教学上，学生的听、读两方面都进行了着重指导培养。学生不仅要求根据录音来描述几种野生动物的特性，也需要他们用优美的语音语调来做报告。不仅如此，对于新学句型——条件句的读法要求也将着力教授，学生通过学习，应该掌握条件句前扬后抑的特点并能准确朗读。

Step I Pre-task
In this part, I will show some pictures of wild animals to the students. They are supposed to remember their names and tell me how they feel about the animals’ bad living environment. After that, the class will have a group discussion to work out the ways to protect the poor animals.
T: Hello, my children!
S: Hello, Mr… / Miss…!
T: Guess, what do I bring to you today?
Ss guess.
T: OK, somebody got it. I bring you some pictures and please have a look and then tell me their names.
Ss look at the pictures.
T: OK. That’s all the animals. Can you tell me the names now?
Answers:
Kangaroo dolphin squirrel tiger polar bear zebra lion wolf tortoise giraffe fox camel monkey giant panda
T: Well. Can we see these animals at homes?
S: No.
T: Yes. So we call them wild animals.
Write “wild animals” on the blackboard.
Step II While task
T: Good! We are familiar with these animals. Read after me one by one and try to memorize them.
Ss read and memorize.
T: Do you remember?
S: Yes.
T: OK. I’d like to check. Please tell me the name of the animal I point as quickly as possible.
Ss quick response.
T: Well done. Since we’ve seen the pictures, could you tell me how you feel?
Ss give opinions.
Examples:
S1: The monkey looks very sad. It almost starts crying.
S2: The lion is in the cage. He has no freedom.
S3: The polar bear is crying.
S4: The panda is waving a white flag.
T: You are right. Do you think they are happy or not?
S: They are unhappy.
T: Yes. Let’s have deep discussion. Discuss with your group members why do these wild animals feel so unhappy？
Samples:
Group 1:
Many people keep killing wild animals for their meat and fur. The number of the wild animals is becoming less and less. They are very poor because they will have no place to live one day. People should stop killing wild animals because they are our friends.
Group 2:
The places the wild animals live are becoming worse and worse. They have no clean water, clean air. Sometimes they don’t have enough food to eat, either. So many wild animals die one by one. We should provide wild animals with nice and safe environment.
T: Good job! Obviously, all of us can treat wild animals as friends. However, we must know about them, and then we can help them. Let’s play a game now. After the game, you are supposed to know what the wild animals like to eat.
Game:
Students will be given two envelopes with several pictures. One is the pictures of wild animals and the other is the pictures of different food. In this game, students will be divided into eight groups. The group which can match the pictures of animals and food fastest will win.
T: Does each group get the envelopes?
S: Yes.
T: OK. Let me explain the rules. First, in each envelope, you’ll see some pictures. Some are of animals and some are of food. Different animals like different food. Try to match them in normal ways. The group which can finish fastest will win the game, understand?
S: Yes.
T: Will. Ready? Go!

T: Well done. The third group finished it in the shortest time and got the correct answers. So they win. Let’s give them claps. Ready? Go!
S: (claps)
T: Ok. I think the wild animals are facing danger. And we must share the earth with them, so let’s think about ways to help them, shall we? We will have a group discussion. Each group chooses your favorite animal and works out some ways to protect them. You have 3 minutes to prepare and four students a group. After that, the group members will speak out your dialogues. Please use “How about doing…? / Shall we do…? ” Understand?
Sample:
Group 3:
S1: The number of lions is decreasing.
S2: Yes. We must help. What can we do?
S3: Shall we set up a lion-lover club?
S4: Fine! How about inviting our friends to join us?
S1: Then what shall we do for the club?
S2: Shall we make some posters about lions?
S3: Good idea! What about raising some money for the zoos?
S4: Ok. Let’s do it.
T: Good. Thank you. I think you’ve done a good job. If everyone can do the things you do, lions will live happily and safely. Thank you again. And everybody pay attention to the structure to make suggestions.
How about doing…?
Shall we do…?

Step III Post task
T: Excellent! You have very wonderful ideas and wishes. Then please write a slogan for your animals. Be positive and impressive. For example: save our friend — giant panda!

2. Who helps you in the desert? Let’s help them to save their lives.
T: Well done! Congratulations! You are so nice and I believe that you must be helpful to the society. And I hope that one day your hopes will be realized.
