At first, I would like to introduce a familiar animal to set an example:

Name: Panda

Birthplace: China                          

Favorite food: bamboo

Features: clumsy  cute  foolish

          The giant panda lives in mountain ranges in central China. As a result of over farming, deforestation, and lack of food, they are driven out of their habitat where he once lived. But now the number of pandas is decreasing sharply.it is said there are only about 100 pandas remaining in the world. In order to save pandas , we are supposed to set up reserves, and don't interrupt their natural life. Meanwhile, provide more various food for them, especially bamboo. Besides.....

 The purpose: to improve the awareness of students to protect the earth and animals through their discussion and the poster-making, besides, they can have a deep understanding of the present situation animals are facing now.

Part 3 Summary :  enjoy a short video and make a summary

Protect the earth, Protect the animals
