1.Повідомлення теми та мети уроку.

Т: The topic for discussion today is Ecology and Nature Protection. Ecological problems have become global nowadays. So, it’s important to increase our knowledge of environmental needs. If we can be active participants in the protection and rebuilding of our environment we can help our planet to survive and keep it healthy for future generations. Everybody on the Earth must think of saving our planet before it’s too late.

 2. Уведення в іншомовну атмосферу.

  Brainstorming.

Т: Name the environmental problems we’re having now.

You have ten seconds to think, and write down an idea or two.

Secretary, read out the list of ideas, and let’s discuss which of the ideas are the most relevant (relevant means connected with what you are talking or writing about important).

Suggestions of Ps: Water, air, soil pollution;

rubbish problem;

nuclear stations;

killing plants and animals.
