Step 1 Presentation

T: Hello, everyone! We have learnt a story about a baby panda called Xi Wang. In today’s lesson, we will have a revision of the story and learn something useful from the story. First, I want to know how much you know about Xi Wang. Please answer the following questions.
What did she look like when she was born?
(Here, “born” is the past participle of the verb “bear”.)
What could she do when she was 4 months old?
(Pay attention to the structure “verbs+to-infinitives”. Can you think of more such words?)
What do pandas eat when they grow up?
(Can you think of another way to express the same meaning?) T: Let’s have a test to see whether you can use these new words.
2. Have a revision of the problems that giant pandas face and the actions that we can take to protect them
T: Can giant pandas live happily in the wild? Yes, th ey can’t live happily in the wild now. Giant
pandas are in danger now. Why? They are facing many serious problems in the wild. T: Let’s have a close at the problems they are facing. We need to take action right away.
T: What actions can we take? Let’s have a discussi on. The most important things that we need to do are to build more reserves and make strict laws to protect giant pandas. If we do nothing, there will be none left. “None” is a very important word. Let’s see how it can be used correctly.
T: Can you make a difference between the words no one, nothing and none?
T: In a word, where there is Xi Wang, there is “hope”. Xi Wang means “Hope”. 【设计意图】通过提问，帮助学生回忆大熊
