Wildlife protection教案

t：well，just now i said “thank you”，do you find some differences?
ss：you use different tones.
t：good.in the first one，the falling tone shows that i am very grateful.but in the second one，the rising tone means that is what the s should do and i was not really grateful.
t：in spoken english，tones are used to express different feelings.to understand how the speaker is feeling，listen for four main things：
the volume of the language
a rising or falling tone
stress on certain words
pauses in the sentences
step 3 listening for general idea
t：ok，now we are going to listen to the story about another animal named dodo.
please have a look at the picture on p31.what does it look like?
 
ss：it looks like a duck.it’s very large.
t：what about its wings?are they very large too?
ss：no，its wings are very small.
t：can it fly high in the sky easily?
s1：i don’t think it can easily fly high in the sky.
t：do you agree with her?
ss：yes.
t：so what might be its problem?
s2：it can only walk on land.and when there is an animal attacking it，it can’t escape.
t：you might be right.let’s listen and see.as for the first time，you don’t have to understand every word.you can ignore what you don’t understand and concentrate on what you can understand.now please open your books and turn to page 30 to go through the ex.2 and try to predict what might happen to dodo.
