Step1 Warm-up

1.Duty report.

2. Show the students a picture of a zoo and the animals in it. Ask: What’s this? (It’s a map.) What kind of map is it? Is it a map of a zoo? Have you ever been to the zoo? What can you see in the zoo? What kind of animals do you know？OK. Next let’s listen to some sounds of animals. And you should try to guess what kind of animals it is. (such as tiger, elephant…) You are smart! I believe you can make it. After that, point to the screen, saying: Do you like animals? What animals do you like? Why? Ask the students individually.

Step2 Lead-in & Presentation

1. Do you want to know what animals I like? Then give the students some information about the animals. Guide them to guess it (elephants). At the same time, draw the stick figure of the elephant. Say: I like elephants very much because they are very smart. Ask: Why do people think elephants are smart? What can they do? Show some pictures to teach some useful sentences.

2. Elephants are not only smart but also very important in many countries. Let’s look at the big screen. Then show some pictures of buildings in Thailand. Guide students to guess which country it is (Thailand). Introduce some culture about elephants in Thailand——There was a white elephant on the first flag of Thailand. What’s more, the elephant is one of Thailand’s symbols. And March 13th is Thai Elephant Day.（Practice the new words.）

Step3 Reading

1. Fast reading

Para 1--Elephants are very important in Thailand.

Para 2--Elephants are smart animals.

Para 3--Elephants are in great danger.

The second box is about the abilities of the elephants. The third box is about the facts and figures of the elephants. The last box is about how to save the elephants. Let's read the article again and fill in the blanks.

2. Check the answers with the class.

Step 5 Retelling the article

1. You are smart, but do you have a good memory? Next, I will ask you to retell the article according to the mind map in 2c. Then give them an example. Do you know how to do it?

( Students answer together)

2. Read the article the whole class.

Step7 Summary
