Ход урока

Good morning, dear boys and girls and our highly respected guests!

You know, at the previous lesson I handed out the script papers of the song «Don`t kill the World». And now you will listen to the song and try to catch the tune.

We have just sung the song «Don`t kill the World» and it is not by chance. This problem is very important nowadays. And why?

( Because our planet is in danger.)

• You are absolutely right.

• So, today we`ll speak about our wonderful Planet, different kinds of pollution and share our opinion how to solve these problems.

Dear friends, do you know what colour our Earth is? (Рисунок)

• Right you are. It is green. If the Earth is green - it is a Healthy Planet. And what does it mean: a Healthy Planet?

(I think a Healthy Planet means that plants are growing, soil is good, there is a plenty of clean water, the air is clean, and animals have places to live in and things to eat).

• Francis Thomson, an English poet said:…………..

Do you agree with him?

( Yes, of course. Rains in summer, falling snowflakes in winter, leaves in spring and a man can destroy the nature .)

( I think that many flowers suffer from their beauty: people pick big bunches of flowers. They don`t think about the future. It`s possible that in ten years some flowers will disappear for ever.)

( People kill animals, fish. They are in danger. People should understand that the nature is not just their own town or country, but the whole Earth.

( I agree with Francis Thomson. Our nature is so beautiful. We must love it and take care of it. We should enjoy flowers and not pick big bunches.)

T: We should remember these sayings: (Плакаты)

Could you read them aloud?

T: And now let`s listen to the poem «My Earth».

Т: Dear friends! Can we allow to die such beauty?

(No, we can`t. We must protect our planet. Big and small rivers, green forests, high mountains, lakes belong to us. Our Earth is our home.)

( We must love and take care of our wonderful nature. Nature serves a man, it is the source of his life.)

( I think people all over the world think about our Planet. They think about air, water, plants and animals on the Earth and they are ready to protect the nature.)

T: And now let`s relax. Close your eyes, take a slow deep breath and listen to the sounds of nature; the sounds of paradise. Музыка.

Т: So, our Planet has got a lot of serious problems. It is in danger nowadays. I would like you to discuss them. Please, be active in the discussion.

But at first let`s remember some words:

Дышать - to breathe

Сбрасывать - dump

Отходы - waste

Загрязнять - pollute

Химикаты - chemicals

Безопасный - safe

Загрязнение - pollution

Закон - law

Выживать - to survive

Ядерный - nuclear

Решать проблемы - to solve problems

Защищать - protect

Решение - solution

T:Good, you know the words well. Now let`s play the game. Here is the word «Pollution». You are to write the words which are associated with this term.

Law, nuclear , problems, international, organizations, planet, unhappy, life, pollute, power, ill, try.

T: Well done. And now I want you to make up sentences using these words. (Слова стираются по мере использования)

(Our Earth is unhappy.

The factories pollute the air.

There are many nuclear power stations in our country.

Many people are ill.

Air pollution, water pollution, nuclear pollution are serious problems.

We must make laws against pollution and try to help our planet.

I would like to work in international green organizations.

We enjoy the life on our beautiful planet.)

T: Very good. You know the words perfectly well. And now you will work in pairs. Your task is to read the text and try to solve some problems of our planet here in our classroom. You have 4 minutes. A, you`ll be our planet. Your task is to read the text and be ready to tell about the problems of our Earth. You have 4 minutes too.

Are you ready?

So, let`s start.

(Звучит музыка и входит Земля)

Thank you very much. You will be able to help our planet. You are future engineers, scientists, economists, teachers, designers and ecologists. I hope you will be active in protection of our nature. You will work out new projects and new slogans. I asked you to think of slogans and draw your leaflets at home. Could you read them? (По очереди читают , я прикрепляю на доску)

T: Now I suggest you the test «Are you a friend of the Earth?» Answer the questions, please. You have 3 minutes to do the task.

Now look at the table and count your points, please.

And now let`s see if you are a friend of the Earth or may be not.

Thank you for your work.

T: A motto. Dear friends, I suggest you a motto for our lesson: stand up,please. Let`s hold hands and once again sing the song «Don`t kill the World» to let people realize that our planet is really in danger.
