Teaching Content:
Mastery words and expressions: open, somewhere, lake, all kinds of, protect, scientist

Teaching Aims:
1.       Ask the people to protect animals.
2.       What are the zoos for?
Teaching Important Points:
1.       What will we take if we go to a zoo?
2.       Write a story about a trip to the zoo.
Teaching Difficult Points:
Some words and expressions
Teaching Preparation: pictures
Type of lesson: new lesson
Teaching Procedure:
Step1. Show some pictures of animals to the class. Ask the students:
What animals do you like best?
What animals can you see in the zoo?
Step2. Read the text and let the students repeat the main ideas of the text.
Step3. Listen to the tape, pause after every line, and ask the students to repeat (a) in chorus, (b) in small groups, (c) individually.
Step4. Practice
Deal with the vocabulary. Select one or two words for discussion. For example, the word kind can be used as an adjective (Mr. Smith is a kind person) or a noun (I like this kind of pet). The word open can be used as a verb (Open the door) and an adjective (The door is open). Can students think of other examples? You may want to compare zoo with school. Remind the students that while we say, “ go to school” (here the word the is not used), we usually say “go to the zoo”(here the word the must be used).
Step5. Read the text in roles. The teacher walks in the classroom while they are reading. Help them if necessary.
Step6. Let some students come to the front and act the dialogue out.
Step7. Come to “PROJECT 2”
Divide the class into several groups and finish the task.
Instruct the students to write a story about a trip to the zoo they have taken or would like to take. The story can be real or imaginary. They should illustrate their stories with pictures or photographs. Students may continue working on their stories during the next two lessons.
Step8. Homework
1.       The third reading in the reader.
2.       Finish off the activity book.

Summary:
It is important for us to protect animals from extinction. Let the students look up after class about the information about the animals. How many animals are there in the world? Now how many kinds of animals have been extincted? What do we need to do immediately? What have our government done for this? What’s your opinion about this? Can you give some good advice?
