-What is the problem in the text?

-What causes it?

-Read the ways out?

As you see, there are 4 main problems in the environment. (Показываю на список проблем на доске)

• Reading (a poem)

What can we do to help the Earth?

There are many ways how to save the Earth. Let's read the sentences one by one. Zlata, begin please. (Дети читают по порядку предложения.)

Put the rubbish in a bin,

Recycle plastic bags,

Open cans - don't throw away.

Teach the cycle of life,

Enjoy the nature,

Clean out the ponds,

Try to reduce pollution.

Very well! Now read the capital letters. So what do we do? - We protect the Earth! (All together!)

4. Let's relax!

Now we've done a lot, haven't we? So it's time to relax. Stand up please.

Stretch your hands to the bright sun, wave your hands, bend left and right like trees on a windy day. Well done! Take your seats.

5. Listening

You know there are quite a lot of eco-clubs all over the country. Students in Belebey are also worried about the environment. Now you will find out what their members of the club have been doing to protect nature for a year.

Please in your plans look at Part III. Listen to the text and watch the video. Use Present Perfect Continuous (на экране высвечивается формула Present Perfect Continuous) to make sentences on your papers. Let's revise the formula. (Я проговариваю формулу, читаю пример)

• Listen to the text again. Without the video. (без картинок).

• Now please read the sentences. How clever you are!

• You liked the film, didn't you?

6. Speaking

This was the film about the students of Gymnasia № 1 in Belebey. Now what do you personally do to help the environment? Let's find out. Look, there are 14 parts of a big puzzle (you and me, because we are a team). One by one come to the blackboard and make up sentences in Present Perfect Continuous. There's a phrase to help you. I will start.

e.g. I've been cleaning the pond.

(Затем говорят дети, прикрепляют кусочек мозаики.)

Look at this beautiful world! How nice and clean it is! And we did it together.

-You like it, don't you?

• Dear boys and girls, that was our last task. We've done a lot together. So recall some moments of the lesson.

What was the topic of the lesson?

Do you remember the problems?

Now we know how to help the Earth, don't we?

I hope the lesson was interesting and useful, I do believe you are going to be very clever and responsible people in the future, aren't you?

• Let's finish the lesson with a beautiful song. Enjoy it!

Please come out of the desks and make a circle, join your hands like in the picture. We are together, we are a team! All the guests, join us too!

There comes a time, when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

And it's time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of all



We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make change

We are all a part of God's great big family

And the truth you know and

Love is all we need



We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true, we'll make a better day, just you and me

• Thank you very much! Good luck to you and be happy!
