Step 1 Lead - in (5 minutes)
After warmly greeting the students, the teacher shows some pictures of the
interdependence of plants and animals, such as bees collecting nectar from
flowers and birds building nests in trees.
Raise questions to guide students to think and discuss: "What relationships can
you find between these plants and animals? How do they affect each other?"
Encourage students to actively share their observations and ideas, thus leading
to the topic of the relationship between plants and animals in this lesson.
Step 2 Vocabulary Learning (8 minutes)
Use PPT to present the key vocabulary that appears in 1a - 2c, such as
"pollination", "honeycomb", "communicate", "role", "ecosystem", etc. Help
students understand the meanings of the words through pictures, animations,
example sentences, and simple English explanations. For example, play an
animation of bees pollinating to explain "pollination" and give the example
sentence "Pollination is very important for the reproduction of plants."; show a
picture of a honeycomb to explain "honeycomb".
Lead the students to read the words and correct their pronunciations. Then,
carry out a vocabulary - chain game, where students take turns to say a new
word starting with the last letter of a certain word to strengthen vocabulary
memory.
Let students make simple sentences with the newly learned words. Invite some
students to share their sentences, and the teacher gives timely feedback and
guidance to correct incorrect usages.
Step 3 Listening Practice (10 minutes)
Before playing the listening material in 1b, guide students to observe the
pictures and predict the listening content.
Play the listening material for the first time. Let students complete the
matching task, that is, match the animal behaviors with the corresponding
results. After playing, check the answers and give a brief explanation.
Play the listening material again. Ask students to listen carefully and take notesof the key information, such as the specific behaviors of animals and their
impacts on plants or the ecosystem. Then, let students work in pairs,
communicate based on the recorded information, and share what they heard.
The teacher walks around and provides help.
Step 4 Reading and Discussion (10 minutes)
Ask students to read the article content in 1b. The teacher raises questions,
such as "What is the greatest work of bees? How do they communicate with
each other?" Guide students to read with these questions in mind.
After students finish reading, organize group discussions for them to share
their understandings of the viewpoints in the article. Each group selects a
representative to report the group's discussion results to the whole class.
The teacher summarizes and supplements based on the students' reports,
guides students to deeply think about the importance of plants and animals in
the ecosystem, and encourages students to express their opinions on
protecting plants and animals.
Step 5 Oral Expression (7 minutes)
Create situations and present some topics about the relationships between
plants and animals, such as "What would happen if there were no bees? How
can we protect the habitats of wild animals?" Let students have a conversation
and discussion in pairs.
The teacher walks around each group, encourages students to express their
opinions using the learned vocabulary and sentence patterns, corrects
language errors in a timely manner, and guides students to expand the
conversation content.
Invite several pairs of students to show their conversations. Other students
listen carefully and evaluate, scoring and commenting from aspects such as
language use, opinion expression, and communication fluency. The teacher
finally summarizes, affirms the students' strengths, points out existing
problems, and puts forward improvement suggestions.
Recite the key vocabulary and phrases learned in this lesson. Get the signature of
parents to confirm. There will be a vocabulary quiz the next day.
