Class: a XI-a MI
Unit: PLANET I SSUES
Topic: GREEN I SSUES
Level: advanced
Time of lesson: 50 minutes

Objectives:
By the end of the lesson learners will be able to:

O1 understand important causes of environmental problems and some solutions
O2 extend their understanding of lexis connected to climate change and environmental issues
O3 take notes and retell information to others

Lesson aims:
to develop students ability to listen to and extract information from an authentic listening
to develop students intensive listening
to allow students to practice speaking spontaneously and fluently about something that may
provoke the use of words and phrases they have learnt recently
take notes and retell information to others

Skills: reading, listening, speaking

Materials: textbook, worksheets, board, cassette, overhead projector, laptop
Methods: conversation, explanation, example, pair work, commentary, group work, dialogue
Anticipated problems: Ss may have problems in solving the exercises.

ACTIVITY 1 - Warm up
Aims: -to introduce the students into the atmosphere of the lesson;
-to attract students attention on the topic.

PROCEDURE 1
Teacher makes informal conversation (greetings, absents, how are you, weather) and checks Ss
homework. Teacher asks Ss to listen to the song Heal the World and to tell which is the theme of the
song and writes the title of the lesson on the board (Green Issues)

PROCEDURE 2
Teacher asks Ss to check the meaning of the words in the diagram on worksheet in pairs and discuss why
they might be recorded in different shapes like the worksheet. (Global Warming is the central topic, the
terms in the squares are causes and those in the rhombus shapes are solutions). Teacher divides students
into three groups and give them some cards with information about topics in the diagram. Ss read the
information and share them to the class.
Interaction: [T-SS] [PW] [GW]

Timing:10

ACTIVITY 2
Aim: -to attract students attention on the topic
Procedure
Teacher asks students to look at the pictures, describe them (which environmental problems they can see
there) and say which one they are most concerned about. Ss answer, using the words given.
Interaction: [T-Ss]
Timing: 5

ACTIVITY 3
Aim: - to develop students intensive listening
Procedure Teacher tells students that they are going to listen to five people expressing their views on
environmental problems. They have to choose which of the problems they are most anxious about. There
is one extra environmental problem which they do not need to use and they have to guess what it is (D.
carbon dioxide)
Interaction:[T-Ss]
Timing: 10

ACTIVITY 4
Aim: -to introduce new items of vocabulary
Procedure
Teacher gives the students two types of cards: one type with sentences which have some words missing
and the second type with words taken from the sentences. In groups students have to match the cards and
to make full sentences. Ss solve the task. T checks Ss answers. Students write the unknown words into
their copybooks.
Interaction: [GW]
Timing: 10

ACTIVITY 5
Aim: to allow students to practice speaking spontaneously and fluently about something that may
provoke the use of words and phrases they have learnt recently;
Procedure
Teacher gives Ss a question: What would you be willing to do to help the environment? Students have
to work in pairs to make up dialogues. Teacher allows Ss time to complete the task and after that asks
individual pairs to report back to the class.
Interaction: [T-Ss] [Ss-Ss]
Timing: 10

ACTIVITY 6 (Homework and awards)

Aims: - to encourage Ss to use their imagination, creativity and knowledge about the topic
- to brainstorm the Ss knowledge on the topic and train them in using it creativity.

PROCEDURE
T gives awards to the most competitive Ss. For homework they have to paraphrase the quotation:
If you poison the environment, the environment will poison you!
Interaction: T Ss
Time: 5 minutes

Global Warming
Scientists say the temperature of the earth
could rise by 3C over the next 50 years.
This may cause drought in some parts of the
world, and floods in others, as ice at the North
and South poles begins to melt and sea levels
rise.
Global warming is caused by the greenhouse
effect. Normally, heat from the sun warms the
earth and then escapes back into space.
But carbon dioxide and other gases in the
atmosphere trap the suns heat, and this is
slowly making the earth warmer.
The Ozone Layer
The Ozone layer is a layer of gas high above
the surface of the earth that helps to protect it
from the suns ultraviolet radiation, which can
damage our skins and cause cancer.
Scientists have recently discovered holes in the
Ozone Layer, caused by substances called
CFCs (clorofluorocarbons)
CFCs are used in refrigerators, aerosol cans
and in the manufacture of some plastic
products. Some companies now make aerosols
that do not contain CFCs, and these
are often marked Ozone Friendly
Deforestation
Rainforests help to control global warming
because the absorb carbon dioxide. In recent
years, large area have been destroyed, as the
trees are cut down for wood or burned to clear
the land for farming. The burning releases
large amounts of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere.
Many rainforests grow on poor soils, and
when they are cut down or burned, the soil is
washed away in the tropical rains, so that the
area may turn to desert. Many plant and
animal species that live there could become
extinct.
Pollution
Factories, power stations and motor vehicles
pump large quantities of carbon dioxide and
other gases into the air. This is a major cause of
the greenhouse effect. A lot of petrol contains
lead, which is very poisonous and can cause
brain damage in children. Most cars use
unleaded petrol today and hybrid cars use
batteries and petrol to use less petrol.
Some poisonous gases dissolve in water in the
atmosphere and then fall to the earth as acid
rain. Acid rain also damages trees and
buildings, and can kill fish in lakes and rivers.
Rivers can also be polluted by industrial waste
from factories and chemical fertilizers and
pesticides used by farmers.

Alternative Energy
Most of the energy we use today comes from
coal, oil and gas. But these will not last for
ever, and burning them is slowly harming the
atmosphere. We need to look for other ways
of supplying energy.
Solar Power is a way of using the suns
energy as heat or to make electricity. We can
also use wind-power by building modern
windmills that spin in the wind. There are
several types of water-power: river water in
mountainous areas can be used to generate
hydroelectric power, and we can also create
electricity from sea water flowing in and out
with the tides.
Recycling
Recycling is the processing of used objects and
materials so that they can be used again. About
60% of rubbish from homes and factories
contain materials that could be recycled.
Recycling saves energy and raw materials, and
also reduces damage to the countryside.
Glass, paper and aluminium cans can all be
recycled very easily. Many towns have special
bins for bottles and cans where people can
leave their empty bottles and cans for recycling.
A lot of paper bags, writing paper and greeting
cards are now produced on recycled paper.
