2. Lead in.

Listen to the poem. What is it about? (звуковая дорожка со стихотворением, задача детей прослушать и ответить на вопрос)

Only when all the rivers have run dry

And all the fish in the sea have died

Only when all the rainforests have been burnt down

And there is no food for the animals

Only when all the blue skies have been filled with smoke

And the cities of the world have choked

Will the white man understand

That it's too late to save the Earth.

(Native American poem)

4. Reading the poem by heart. (опережающее задание, студент рассказывает стихотворение)

Look outside

Look Outside, see the trees

Watch the flowers in the breeze

Things won't be like this in a year or two

If polluting is all we do

Seize the night

Seize the day

Things won't always be this way

Thousands of people are dying

In the night you hear children crying

Let's stop the war

Our people are sore

The world can't help itself

Who cares about your wealth

Help me to help you

Show the world what you can do.
