Step 1 Revision
T£ºGood morning£¬boys and girls!Last class I asked you to prepare the description of dinosaurs and Milu deer and dodos£¬so now I will ask some of you to have a try.Any volunteers?
S1£ºDinosaurs lived on the earth long before humans came into being.There were many different species of them£¬of which a rare new one was able to run as well as climb.The reasons for their dying out are not sure.Maybe because of a large rock or due to the hot weather.
S2£ºDodos lived on the earth long long ago.They lived on an island called Mauritius.They were curious and kind¡Mhearted and quite different from most of the animals there.They were birds£¬but they were large and only had small wings.Their favorite activity was to wander along the beach and wait till the insects were ready to be eaten.
S3£ºMilu deer used to be common in China.They lived together and lived on grass.But as a result of hunting£¬they disappeared from China later.Luckily£¬some were taken to Britain before that.So Chinese government can bring back some.Now there are more and more Milu deer in China.
T£ºEveryone has done a very good job!
Step 2 Brainstorming about tones in spoken English
£¨Teacher asks two students to answer two easy questions£¬then express gratitude using different tones.One is ”Thank you¨K”.The other is “Thank you¨J.” £©
T£ºWell£¬just now I said “Thank you”£¬do you find some differences?
Ss£ºYou use different tones.
T£ºGood.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£ºIn spoken English£¬tones are used to express different feelings.To understand how the speaker is feeling£¬listen for four main things£º
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£ºOK£¬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£ºIt looks like a duck.It’s very large.
