Ход урока

I. Организационный момент. Приветствие

T.: Good morning, children! I’m glad to see you. Today some guests are present at our lesson. Turn to our guests and greet them. Sit down, please!”

First of all, I want you to look at these beautiful nature sights:

All these can disappear if we don’t take care of our lovely planet, our earth. Do you want it? No, of course not. I believe, you don’t.

II. Объявление темы и цели урока

Look at the slogans. (Slide 5) Let’s read and translate them. What are we going to speak about?

Today we speak a lot about ecology but do so little to save our planet – the air we breathe, the water we drink . Today our topic is "Who should be in charge of the planet”. We will focus not only on environmental problems, but on their solution. 

And what is the environment? Let’s read the definition.

III. Обсуждение проблемы "Pollution of the environment”

T.: Listen to the poem "Hug the Earth” by Lorraine Bayes.

T.: We love our Motherland. We love its green fields and vast forests, high mountains, rivers and lakes.

But the protection of nature has become one of the most important problems today. Why?

P.: People pollute our beautiful planet.

Waste from factories, electric power stations, the chemical industry and heavy industry are very dangerous.

Fish die in lakes, rivers and seas; forest trees die too.

Much of this dangerous waste goes into the air, and carried by winds for great distances. Many animals have become extinct now; some of the plants are seen only in a few places of our polluted world.

IV. Совершенствование навыков чтения

T.: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-E for each part. There is one heading you do not need to use.

I’ll give you 5 min to do the task.

So, your time is over. What is the heading for the first part? Do you agree with ………? Will you read and translate the first part?

V. Совершенствование речевых навыков

T.: And what are the most important problems of our planet? 

P-1: We often hear reports on TV and radio that millions of tons of oil are released into the sea every year. We can only imagine how many seabirds and animals die because of it. It is dangerous to human beings too.

P-2: The layer of ozone does not protect the Earth from harmful radiation any more, as there are a lot of growing ozone holes. People will have to take measures because the dangerous rays get through the atmosphere, causing cancer and other diseases.

P-3: I want to speak about ACID RAINS. Acid rain is extremely harmful to plants, rivers and lakes, and the creatures that live in them. In some places it is killing forest. It pollutes the water that animals and people need to drink. It’s very important for us to stop making acid rain.

P-4: I want to tell some words about AIR POLLUTION. Factories and many of things they make, like cars, put a lot of harmful gases into the air. Today the air is so polluted in some places that it’s not always safe to breathe! Many cities around the world have air filled with a pollution called «smog».

P-5: By the way, I must say about WATER POLLUTION. The planet Earth is mostly water. All life on Earth –from the little bugs to the biggest whale-depends on this water. But we are not doing a very good job of keeping water clean. In many places, the water has become polluted. The rivers and lakes are polluted by garbage or by chemicals which are dumped right into them.

T.: Right you are, children.

There are a lot of environmental groups in Britain: Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and London Zoological Society. Children go there with their teachers to study and enjoy nature. I represent Liverpool ecology group and I take part in such activities as:

T.: Rona, what do you think, who should be in charge of the Earth?

T.: Pupils, what should we do to save the Earth?

P 1: We must keep the water clean.
P 2: We must keep the air clean.

P 5: Do not throw your old batteries in the trash; take them to a recycling center.
P 6: Turn out the lights when you are not using it.
P 8: Let us keep the Earth green and healthy and full of millions of wonderful animals.

TAKING CARE OF THE EARTH IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS.
