5、procedure students will talk about the causes and consequences of global warming. Begin the lesson by asking students to discuss the questions in before you startT: Yesterday we learned from the passage in Culture Corner that gases from burning coal and oil are the major causes of global warming. Di

6、d you make your survey on how students come to school?S1: I asked 40 students. Ten in the forty come to school by bus. Twenty-one ride bicycles. Eight of the forty take a car and only one walks to school. .T: From the survey you made we can see most of students in our school take a green way to scho

7、ol. Im glad we are not having so many cars. Because gases pumped into the atmosphere from cars will speed up global warming. Have you noticed that in 2006 we had a very warm winter? Experts say global warming has changed the climate in China. In this class we are going to learn more about global war

8、ming. We will read an article “Can we take the heat?” Before we start the text, please discuss the question in Before you start. Step II Before you startDiscuss the two questions in Before you start and work out the meanings of the given words.T: OK, open your books and discuss the question in Befor

9、e you start on Page 6. Which countries do you think contribute more to global warming, developed countries or developing countries?Ss: Developed countries. Because they have more cars and factories and gases from cars and factories are the major cause of global warming.T: Good answer. Please scan th

10、e text for the given words in Ex2 and try to work out their meaning.While students are discussing the words, Teacher should walk around the classroom and give necessary help when needed.Several minutes later, ask students to present their answers either in English or Chinese. Students may even be en

11、couraged to explain the meanings using pictures. Show the suggested answers on the PowerPoint. Step III Read to learnDeal with the reading part.ScanningAsk students to scan the text and find what exactly global warming is.T: What is the title of Lesson 1?Ss: Global Warming.T: Do you know what exactl

12、y global warming is? Please scan the text and find the answer in the text.Ss: Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earths temperature.T: Quite good! Then skim the text and find what human activities are causing global warming.S: As a result of increased industry, agriculture, the cutt

13、ing down of forests, the increase in transport and the burning of fuels, nearly 6 tones of carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere every year for every one of the Earths 6 billion people. Over the last 100 years, the global average temperature has increased by 1F. If we continue to produce carbon di

14、oxide and other gases in such quantities, we are condemning life on Earth and should expect severe consequences.Skimming Show the following form on the PowerPoint and ask them to work in groups and complete the form.termdefinitioncauses consequenceshow to solve the problemGlobal warmingFive minutes

15、later, show the suggested answers on the PowerPoint. termdefinitioncauses consequenceshow to solve the problemGlobal warmingrefers to an average increase in the Earths temperature.When greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increase, more heat is trapped.(the greenhouse effect)The Earths temperature ris

16、es.Governments action and each person should play their part (small changes made by everyone worldwide). Ask students to skim the text and then finish Ex3 on Page 7. Students may discuss the questions in groups.T: Look through the questions in Ex 3 on Page 7 first. Then skim the text to find the ans

17、wers. Then check the answers with the whole class.Suggested answers:1. Global warming is an average increase in the Earths temperature.2. Increased industry, agriculture, the cutting down of forests, the increase in transport and the burning of fuels are causing global warming.3. By 1F.4. Yes, they

18、are. Because greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in the Earths atmosphere. Otherwise the earth would be very cold and unsuitable for life.5. We can take public transport, recycling, using low-flow shower heads, buying efficient light bulbs to stop global warming. Step IV ExplanationDuring this p

19、rocedure teacher will play the tape for students. Students will underline the difficult sentences. After listening to the tape, Teacher will explain the text and deal with language problems. T: After doing the comprehension of the text, lets deal with some difficult language focuses. Now I will play

20、 the tape for you .Please make a mark where you have difficulties.After listening to the tape, explain the difficult sentences to students. Before explaining the difficult points, students are asked to refer to the notes to the text on page 114. T: Do you have any difficulties with the text？S1: Coul

21、d you please explain the second paragraph to us?T: The second paragraph tells us the association greenhouse gases have with global warming. The “greenhouse effect” often gets a bad rap because of its association with global warming, but the truth is we couldnt live without it. Life on earth depends

22、on energy from the sun. About 30 percent of the sunlight that beams toward Earth is deflected by the outer atmosphere and scattered back into space. The rest reaches the planets surface and is reflected upward again as a type of slow-moving energy called infrared radiation. As infrared radiation is

23、carried aloft by air currents, it is absorbed by “greenhouse gases” such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane, which slows its escape from the atmosphere. Although greenhouse gases make up only about 1 percent of the Earths atmosphere, they regulate our climate by trapping heat and hold

24、ing it in a kind of warm-air blanket that surrounds the planet. This phenomenon is what scientists call the greenhouse effect. Without it, scientists estimate that the average temperature on Earth would be colder by approximately 30 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit), far too cold to sustain ou

25、r current ecosystem. While the greenhouse effect is an essential environmental prerequisite for life on Earth, there really can be too much of a good thing. The problems begin when human activities distort and accelerate the natural process by creating more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than ar

26、e necessary to warm the planet to an ideal temperature. Today, the increase in the Earths temperature is increasing with unprecedented speed. To understand just how quickly global warming is accelerating, consider this: During the entire 20th century, the average global temperature increased by abou

27、t 0.6 degrees Celsius (slightly more than 1 degree Fahrenheit). Using computer climate models, scientists estimate that by the year 2100 the average global temperature will increase by 1.4 degrees to 5.8 degrees Celsius (approximately 2.5 degrees to 10.5 degrees Fahrenheit). Now please read the firs

28、t sentence in the second paragraph. Whats the function of that-clause?S1: It is an attributive clause modifying an average increase. T: Good! that refers to an average increase in the Earths temperature. From this sentence we can learn an average increase in the Earths temperature will cause climate

29、 changes. In the second sentence there is also an attributive clause caused by which. What does which refer to?S2: Which refers to greenhouse gases.T: Right! Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in the Earths atmosphere. Without greenhouse gases, the earth would be very cold and impossible for li

30、fe. Do you have any other questions?S2: No.T: There are many useful phrases in the text. Please sum up the phrases and then we will analyze the text. Step V PracticeDeal with Ex 5 on page 7. Ask students to do the exercises individually. While doing the exercises, remind students that they should pa

31、y attention to the correct form of the given words. Make necessary changes where needed. Then check the answers with the whole class. Step VI Analyzing the textHelp students analyze the structure of the text. Ask students to discuss in groups and later each group will speak out their opinions. After

32、 this, show the suggested answers on the PowerPoint.T: OK. Lets read the text again. Please look at the structure of the text. You are given 5 minutes.T: Please stop here. Im glad you thought actively and had a heated discussion. What is its writing style? Ss: This text is an expository writing.T: What is the topic of the text? What is the text about?S1: Global warming.S2: The text introduces what global
