1. Look a picture and answer the questions

T: Look at the picture, we all know him. He is our old friend Eddie. Is Eddie a wild animal?

  S: No. Because he doesn't need to look for food in the wild.

T: Well, Hobo and Eddie are talking about wild animals. Now let’s watch a short flash about

their dialogue and try to answer the questions:

    Will Eddie eat the wild animals ? Why or why not ?

    Will Eddie eat the wild animal? Why or why not ?

2. Play the flash for them and then get some students to answer the question

【设计意图】在看视频的前后均设置问题，有助于学生养成良好的思考习惯。

1. Play the tape again and get the students to read after it. Then ask them to fill in the blanks.

T: Please listen to the tape again and repeat in groups, paying attention to the pronunciation and    

    intonation.                                                                                                                                                                      

2. Work in pairs and read the dialogue in roles.

【设计意图】通过填空和角色扮演对漫画内容进行巩固。

Divide the students into two groups: boy group and girl group. Boy group’s opinion: People can eat wild animals. Girl group’s opinion: People shouldn’t eat wild animals. They are given several minutes to prepare for the debate.

【设计意图】通过辩论赛的形式培养学生的探究、合作精神，以此激发学生的发散性思维，在夯实基础知识的同时提高语言综合运用能力。

T: Wild animals are our friends. We shouldn't eat or kill them. We should love and protect them.   We should share the world with them!

【设计意图】学生辩论结束后教师加以总结，引导学生明白保护动物就是保护人类自己的道理，帮助学生形成保护自然，爱护动物的良好风尚。
