Good morning， respected professors， it’s my great pleasure to be here sharing my lessons with you。 The content of the lesson is Senior English for China Student’s Book 2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection. I’ll begin the lesson from the following six parts， the teaching material， teaching goals and important and difficult points,the teaching and studying methods, the teaching procedure and blackboard design。 First, let me talk about the teaching material。
Part1 the Teaching Material
This unit is to introduce to us the importance of wildlife protection. The reading passage is the center of this unit。 It is made up of 3 paragraphs， that is, why we need wildlife protection， a good example of wildlife protection and what we can get from wildlife protection。 The text is the most important teaching material in this lesson, which extends the main topic “wildlife protection” and contains most of the vocabulary and grammar points that students should learn in this unit.

1。 The students use their own words to express their own ideas. 2. the usage of present progressive passive voice.
Part3Analysis of the Students
Although the students have the basic abilities of listening, speaking， reading, and writing， they still need many opportunities to practice what they have learned, to express their ideas， feelings, and experience and to develop their autonomous learning ability and cooperative learning ability.
Part4 Teaching and Learning Methods
Teaching Methods:
a. Communicative Language Teaching
Language is used for communication.It’s learner—centered and emphasizes communication and real-life situations。 b. Task—based Language Teaching
A task resembles activities which our students or other people carry out in everyday life, Learners should be given opportunities to reflect on what they have learned and how well they are doing。 c。 Computer Assisted Language Teaching
Language learning needs a context， which can help the learners to understand the language and then can product comprehensible output, so computer has the advantages to make the materials attractive
Learning Methods:
Task-based， self-dependent and cooperative learning.
Part 5 Teaching Procedure
Step 1 Lead-in
“Interest is the best teacher.\" Therefore， at the very beginning of the class, I should spark the students’ mind to focus on the centre topic “the importance of wildlife protection”
I’ll show them some beautiful pictures of wild animals, such as lions， Tibet antelopes， monkeys and so on. Ask them what they know about those animals。 The answers must relate to their present situation， such as die out， dangerous, decrease and so on。 After this, the students will be eager to something about the endangered wildlife and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into Step 2。
Step 2 Reading for information: skimming and scanning In this step, I use Task—based Language Teaching method， which can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context。 Task 1 General idea
The students will be asked to just glance at the title and the pictures of the passage， and then guess what they will read in the text. And they’ll be divided into groups of four to have a discussion。 The purpose is to inspire the students to read actively, not passively。 In addition, the task is to develop the students’ reading skill by making
prediction and to encourage the students to express their thoughts in English and cooperate with each other。 Task 2 Main idea of each paragraph
Cooperative learning can raise the students' interest and create an atmosphere of achievement。 Based on this theory， I divide the whole class into 3 groups to skim the whole text and get the main idea of each paragraph.
Step 3 Reading for comprehension
The purpose of reading is to get the correct and useful information. Students should not only have a high speed of reading but also have a correct understanding of details。 Therefore the following practices on Page 27 can help check the situation.
Step 4 Solving difficult language problems through reading It’s important for language learners to learn important rules of grammar and use these rules to solve problems in reality. In the previous process of reading, the students must come across some difficult language obstacles, so it’s necessary for us to discuss and explain。 This period of time belongs to students. They can ask any questions they come across in the process of learning. I’ll explain the questions and difficulties. The purpose of this is improving the students “questioning spirit\" and dealing with the difficulties。 Step 5 Consolidation
Language is learnt by communicating. It is my job to create an atmosphere for students to use the language. Here I design 2 activities 1 Role read
The text is concentrated on the conversation between Daisy and Tibet antelope, elephant and monkey。 Role read is a good chance to practice English in a cooperative learning atmosphere。 2 Discussion
During making discussion， the students will deepen their understanding of the severe situation of wildlife and the importance of wildlife protection。
1。 Why is it important to protect wildlife？
2。 What must be done if wildlife protection is to succeed? Step 6 Homework
Ask the students to write down their opinions about what they should do to protect the wild animals。 The assignment enables the students to search various information resources， which can widen their view and continue to inspire their enthusiasm of learning。
