Teaching Procedures Step Ⅰ Revision Check homework. Get some pairs to act out their conversations. When they work, the rest of students also guess what animals they are talking about.‎ Step Ⅱ 2a This activity provides guided listening practice using the target language. Look at the picture. Ask, What can you see in the picture? (A manatee is in the water.)‎ Go through the instructions with the class. You will hear two people talking about manatees. Listen and draw a line between each word and its definition.‎ Read the sample answer. Then say, The word endangered means there aren’t very many of this animal left in the world.

In 1972, it was discovered that they were endangered.‎ Some of the swamps have become polluted.‎ Put the class in five groups and ask each group to become "experts" in one of the verb tenses and presents a review of that tense to the rest of the class.

I don’t agree with Disgusted. In fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all. I think zoos are very important to animals. They can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted. They can provide man with places for research work.

Invite a pair of students to read it to the class.‎ SA : I think that animals should not live in zoos.‎ SB : I disagree with you. I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live.‎ Ask the two teams to debate in class.‎ First, call on one team to give a statement. Then ask the other team to give a statement that is ‎ related to the first statement. Help the teams make several different statements about a single point before going on to another point.‎ For example:‎ Team 1: I think that zoos are not suitable for animals to live in.‎ Team 2: Why do you think so?‎ Team 1: Because animals there are only given food once a day. They’re hungry.‎ Team 2: I disagree with you. I believe that many animals only eat once a day or once every few days. So, there is no need to worry about that.‎ Step Ⅴ Summary In this class, we’ve learned some key vocabulary words such as against, be suitable for, tiny cages, care for, urge.
