ХОД УРОКА

I. Начало урока.

Звучит запись голосов птиц. Учащийся читает стихотворение "Hug the Earth" by Lorraine Bayes.

Walking along feeling free
Feeling the earth here with me.
And I love her, she loves me.
I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me.
She is our friend,
We'd like to be together forever.
The Earth is a garden,
It's a beautiful place.
For all living creatures,
For all the human race.
Helping Mother Earth
We can peacefully roam
We all deserve a place
We can call our home.
