Оргмомент

• Good afternoon, my dear. Sit down, please.

The theme of our today’s lesson is “Environmental protection and recycling”.

The problem of our lesson is the global situation in ecology and what can we do with it. We are going to discuss and solve the problems of ecology and find some solutions to solve these problems, we’ll watch the film and discuss it, then we’ll check your home task and check your knowledge in Conditional sentences.

But before we start I’d like to pay your attention to the words of American writer:” In the eyes of nature we are just another species in trouble”. These words are the motto of our lesson. Do you agree with the author?

P1 Yes, I do. I think …

1. Warm-up

So, let’s start

Look at the blackboard.

The words and word combinations you see must be divided into two categories:

waste, green zone, rubbish, take measures, litter, destruction, harmful substances, purifying system,

recycling, gases, electric cars, forest fires, filters, chemicals

2. Vocabulary practice

You’ve done everything correctly and now we’ll check the meaning of the words.

For this you are given tasks on the cards. You should choose the best ending to each sentence:

(2 minutes to do this task in writing)

a) In cities the air is hard to breathe because of car – exhaust fumes

b) The earth’s climate is changing because of---pollution

I’ll check them later, but nevertheless let’s check it now.

At the previous lessons we spoke about different kinds of pollution in the world and in our city. Let’s refresh them in our memory.

-So, which issues you consider the most important?

- Why do you think there is so much litter?

- What problems does litter cause?

-What other environmental problem can you think of?

-What is the next problem?

-What problem does it cause?

-What about the destruction of the forests? How does this come about?

- What effect does this have?

4. Follow -up

Now,imagine that you are a mayor of our city. You have a power.

What would you do to protect our city? Explain why.

Use the table on the blackboard

-If I were a mayor of our city I would …… fine people for littering

-If I were a mayor of our city I would ……

- people living in the area where the future factory will be built.

- the mayor of our city.

Express your opinion about this problem.

Try to use conditional sentences in you speech.

This problem is urgent and very important nowadays, so we can discuss it endless.

9. Solutions

Give your own solutions -what measures should be taken to prevent

ecological problems and what each of you can personally do.

10. poem

After the discussion of the ecological problems I want you to read the poem, which sounds as a call to the people of the whole world to safe the Earth.

Rub your eyes and look around,

Litter lying on the ground,

Bottles, cans and polythene-

Take the tip and change to green!

Forests going up in smoke,

Cities fit to make you choke,

Nowhere left to be that’s clean-

Take a breath and change to green!

Animals and plants have died,

People starve to feed our pride,

For the life that might have been

Take a stand and change to green!

There’s so much that isn’t right,

It could get you well uptight,

So make a start and change the scene-

The lights are flashing- change to green!

11. Home task:

Write a composition

“ How can we make our town a better place to live in?”

So, our lesson is over. But I’m sure that you ‘re real friends of our planet.

And I want you to remember:

The sooner we put all solutions into practice, the better our lives will become.
