教学后记
STEP 1 Answering the question
Tell the students that I have got a very difficult question to answer. And I would like to ask you to answer the question, too. Show the question on the board. And get the students to discuss about it.
B. You and your friend are on an island with nothing to eat. However you have only one hamburger.
If you don’t eat, you will die.
If your friend doesn’t eat, he/she will die
If you share the hamburger with your friends, you will both die.
Will you eat it by yourself or give it to your mother, or share it with your friend?
Get the students to talk about Question A first. (It may not be very difficult for the students to answer.) Then show the students Question B. Give the students a few minutes to discuss about the question. (For more able students, encourage them to speak out their questions, too. )
STEP 2 Listening and answering
Tell the students that Eddie is now facing such a problem. Get the students to listen to the tape and then answer the following questions:
1. Who has food? Eddie has food.
2. Is he going to share his food with his master / e-dog?
No, he isn’t going to share his food with Hobo.
STEP 3 Reading the dialogue together or in roles
Get the students to read the dialogue together or in roles. Ask the students to practice and remember the dialogue and then act it out.
STEP 4 Finishing the following exercises
Get the students to focus on possible actions and possible results of the dialogue. Then get them to finish the following exercises.
Possible Actions Possible results
1.If I don’t have food, I ___ (die).
2.If I die, no one _________ (look) after you.

STEP 5 Getting to know about wild animals
Man is now having the same problem, too. Many animals share the same homeland with us. However, man has taken their food and their homes away. Ask, ‘Do you think we should do something to help?’ (Yes.)
Wild animals are our friends. It is important to protect wild animals. (Write the sentence on the board then get the students to read it aloud.)
‘Let’s check how much you know about wild animals. Do you know them?’ Show the pictures of the animals.

PICTURES
NAMES
SOMETHING ABOUT IT

kangaroo
It only lives in Australia. It has strong back legs, so it can jump very fast. A mother kangaroo has a pocket in front for its baby.

bear
It usually has black or brown fur. It is strong. It likes eating fish and honey. However, it doesn’t eat dead things.

giant panda
It only lives in China. It has black and white fur. It eats bamboo shoots and leaves. We have very few of them in China.

It is very lovely. It has a long and soft tail. It lives in the tree. It likes eating nuts very much.

tiger
It is the king of the forest. It looks like a cat but big than a cat. It has yellow fur with black stripes.
Ask the students to give the names of the animals and then encourage them to speak out what they know about the animals, focusing on the appearance and something special about it.
STEP 6 Play a guessing game
Play a guessing game. Write the names on pieces of papers and then invite some of the more able students to choose and say something of the animals (To make it easier, ask the students to use the first person). The other students should listen carefully and guess what animal it is.
Bear: I am strong. Sometimes, I eat people. But if I find the people died, I don’t eat them. Who am I?
Kangaroo: I have a pocket. My baby sleeps in my pocket. Who am I?

Squirrel: I have a long and soft tail. I live in the tree. Who am I?
Giant Panda: I have black eyes and four black paws. I like eating bamboo shoots（竹笋）. I am very lovely. Who am I？

Tiger: I am the king of the animals. I look like a cat but I’m bigger than a cat. Usually, I have yellow fur and black stripes. Who am I?
STEP 7 Talking the animal they like best/least
