Ход урока.

Teacher: Good morning, children. I am glad to meet you. Who is on duty today? What date is it today? What day is it today? Today we’ll discuss environmental problems in the world, in our country and in our statefarm. We’ll do some exercises, ask and answer the questions, learn a short poem and we’ll play a bit. Now let’s learn a poem by heart “Wild Kingdom”.

All woods are home to animals,

So we behave like guests.

We only looked and never touched,

The birds’ and rabbits’ nests.

Every ten minutes one kind of animals, plant or insect disappears. If nothing is done about it, over one million species will disappear in twenty years from now.

Teacher: Now, children, let’s listen to a song and do exercises.

(“A song “When trees are green”)

Teacher: We’ll play a game now. Our problem today is construction of a garage very near our park. The drivers of the city decided to build a garage. They cannot find a better place than our park. The angry citizens who live nearby are demanding a meeting with the Major of the city. Let us take part in the meeting. Let’s form a few groups. Who wants to speak for the Major? (For the citizens? For the parents? For the children?)

The drivers: On behalf of the drivers we are ready to help the city with public traffic, which is and always has been a problem. We can give you a drive!

The citizens: On behalf of the citizens who live near the park we want to say that the air in our town is very much polluted, the air in our district is especially badly polluted, because there is oil refinery nearby, and now you are going to poison the air still more with car exhaust. We are against a garage! Keep the park green!

The parents: On behalf of the parents we protest against building a garage near the park. Look at our children’s pale faces. The air smells awful, the water tastes bad, the traffic sounds terrible. The best place for a garage is out of town. Think of your future!

Children: On behalf of the school students we’d like to tell you that this park is the only place where we can have fun. You are stealing our playground!

The Major: Dear citizens! Your problems are our city problems. I promise, I’ll do my best to solve this problem. I want to know which of you are for and against the garage. Let us vote. Which of you are for the garage? Which of you are against the garage? (the children are voting). Thank you. Now I know your opinion. Thank you for coming and for the information I’ve got.

Teacher: And now, let’s play another game: “What can you do at home to save energy?” (лото)
