Unit 4 Wildlife protection 教案1(HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE)Introduction In this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to imagine and share their views about the wildlife protection. They will then be helped to read a narration entitled HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE.Examples of “Warming Up” designs are presented in this book for teachers reference. Computer and overhead projector may be used to aid the teaching and learning.

Warming up by learning about animalsLook at the photos below and listen to me telling you about the animals, the endangered animals. The Giant Panda is a mammal now usually classified in the bear family, Ursidae, that is native to central China.The Giant Panda lives in mountainous regions, like Sichuan and Tibet. The Giant Panda is the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), a conservation organization. Toward the latter half of the 20th century, the panda also became somewhat of a national emblem for China, and is now used in Chinese gold coins.Giant Pandas are an endangered species, threatened by continued loss of habitat and by a very low birthrate, both in the wild and in captivity. About 1,600 are believed to survive in the wild.Milu deer is a Chinese deer. It has a long tail, wide hooves, and branched antlers. Another Chinese name for it is “four unlikes,.” because the animals were seen as having the horns of a stag, the neck of a camel, the foot of a cow, and the tail of an ass. These animals were first made known to Western science in the 19th century, by Father Arm and David, a French missionary working in China. At the time, the only surviving herd was in a preserve belonging to the Chinese emperor. The last herd of Milu deers that remained in China were eaten by Western and Japanese troops that were present at the time of the Boxer Rebellion.These deer are now found in zoos around the world, and a herd of Milu deer was reintroduced to Dafeng Reserve, China in the late 1980s. They are classified as “critically endangered.” in the wild, but do not appear to have suffered from a genetic bottleneck because of small population size.A tiger is a large cat famous for its beautiful fur of orange striped with black. Tigers live in Asia and are becoming very rare. This is due to people hunting them for their fur and destroying the forests they live in.II. Pre-reading1. Defining wildlifeWhat does the world wildlife mean?The term wildlife refers to living organisms that are not in any way artificial or domesticated and which exist in natural habitats. Wildlife can refer to flora (plants) but more commonly refers to fauna (animals). Needless to say, wildlife is a very general term for life in various ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests, plains, and other areasincluding the most built-up urban sitesall have distinct forms of wildlife.Humankind has historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways; besides the obvious difference in vocabulary, there are differing expectations in the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.2. Reading to the recordingNow turn to page 26, listening and reading to the recording of the text. Try to keep pace with the native reader, making your reading resemble that of the reader, in speed, in intonation and in pronunciation. 3. Reading and transforming Now you are to read the text for information to fill in the form.What did Daisy see where she was?In Tibet in ChinaZimbabweIn thick rain forest4.

Closing up by matching animals to five risk categories Different endangered species appear on different endangered species lists. And people who are trying to protecting animal use the following five risk categories to group the unlucky animal.Now in groups of four try to group all the unlucky animals found in China.List of Unlucky animals found in China 中国不幸动物分类名录EXTINCT（灭绝动物）-A species formerly indigenous to Canada that no longer exists anywhere.EXTIRPATED（根绝动物）-A species no longer existing in the wild in Canada but occurring elsewhere.ENDANGERED（濒危动物）-A species threatened with imminent extinction or extirpation throughout all or a significant portion of its Canadian
