Teaching Procedures
Step 1: Guessing what he is going to do
1 .Create an interest in the issue of sharing the limited natural resources. Depending on the general interest of the class, choose one of the following situations:
* A group of students are stranded on an island. There is not enough food available for everyone to survive.
* Astronauts are stranded in space. They do not have enough oxygen for everyone to survive.
2 .Make a list of people involved in the situation, a list of the resources available (e.g., food, oxygen, water, etc.) and a list of how long everyone is able to survive. Ss have to decide whether they stay alive together sharing what they have or they are going to occupy all the resources for their own survival.
3. Ss study the pictures and read the conversation first on their own, then in pairs. Ask two more able students to role-play the conversation.
Step 2: Listening and Reading
Now, let’s li
sten to Hobo and Eddie twice. After you listen to them, please answer my questions, Is Eddie willing to share the food with Hobo?
Help the Ss to answer. (No.)
I want to know Hobo and Eddie better. Listen again, then read the article by yourselves. Do some True or False exercises. Check the answers.
1. The food is very tasty.
2. Hobo c
an live without food.
3. Eddie often takes care of Hobo.
4. There is enough food for Hobo and Eddie.
Now please pay more attention to these two sentences.
*If you eat my food, I won’t talk to you. *If I don’t have food, I die.
Step 3 : Describing
In the story Hobo and Eddie need enough food but there isn’t, so they are poor. The word “poor” can describe an animal, can you find some other words to describe an animal? Now let’s play a game “Bingo”!
1. It has a long, soft
tail and lives in the trees. It can climb trees quickly.
2. It is the biggest animals on land. It can lift heavy things.
3. It looks like a large fish in warm sea. You can watch them jump in the zoo.
4. It’s like a bear, but it has black and white fur.
5. It lives in Australia and it has a long strong tail and has strong legs. There is a useful
bag for its baby.
6. It looks like a cat and has yellow fur and black stripes.
7. It’s large and heavy with thick(厚)fur. It is very strong.
8. It has no legs. Some of them are poisonous enough to kill people.
9. We can get meat from them. It likes sleeping very much.
10. It’s small. It is afr
aid of cats because cats like eating them for a nice meal.
11. It is very clever. Its favorite food is banana.
12. It’s a useful animal for people. When the stranger comes, it’ll bark.
