附：教学设计说明：
本节课是第二课时，主要学习有关森林和土地的内容。在第一课时中，我们已经学习了有关的单词和“if”句型。因此本节课的教学目标是让学生巩固“if”所引导的条件状语从句，以及“must do/ mustn’t do”句型，通过听力和表述课文，提高学生的听说读写能力。同时，让他们意识到森林和土地的重要性，使他们明白大自然是我们的朋友，我们有责任和义务去爱护它！
Warming-up中, 学生唱一首轻快的植树英文歌来活跃课堂气氛。
Pre-task preparation中, 把学生分成两组进行一个简单的关于森林和土地的知识竞赛，以此来引出本课主题。
进入到While-task procedure, 作为新授课，要去听读、理解课文内容。课文有三段，我把它们这样处理：第一段做听力，让学生回答问题，随后让他们把回答的问题串联成一段话，即是课文的第一段内容；第二、三段让学生默读，之后根据课文内容进行ask and answer，同桌之间一问一答。这样，锻炼了他们的听力以及阅读理解能力，同时也培养了他们的合作能力，使他们在短时间内对课文有整体的了解。再根据课文填空，进一步检查他们对课文的熟悉程度。
进入到Post-task activities，一方面让学生运用所学过的“if”从句，以及“must do/ mustn’t do”句型来拓展所学课文内容；另一方面，让学生了解保护森林的重要性，以及激发他们热爱大自然的情感。
