II.KeyPoints&Difficulties

KeyPoints

GarbageSortingActions:

Categories:glass,metal,plastic,paper,others.

Recycling/reusing:Mostgarbagecanbereused/recycled;only1smallbagneedsdisposal.

Vocabulary&Pronouns:

waste,sort,recycle,reuse—usedindescribinggarbagemanagement.

Pronoun“it”reference(e.g.,“Itisawastetousepaperonlyononeside”).

Difficulties

Rememberinggarbagecategorydetails(whichitemsbelongtoglass/metal/plastic).

Accuratelyidentifyingpronoun“it”referencesinplexsentences.

Analyzingwastedataandproposingreductionsolutionsintheproject.

III.TeachingMethods

TaskBasedLearning(TBL):Throughtrue/falsequestions,pronounreferencecircling,vocabularypractice,andgarbagesortingprojects.

EnvironmentalActionSimulation:Roleplayinggarbagesortingtopracticecategories.

CollaborativeLearning:Groupworkforwasteanalysisprojects,emphasizingpeerfeedbackonpracticality.

IV.TeachingAids

CAI(garbagesortinganimationvideos,pronounreferenceexamples,wasteanalysistemplates).

Textbook,worksheets,and“GarbageCategoryCards”(withitemslike“bottle”forsorting).

V.TeachingProcedures

Step1:Warmup–DailyGarbageHabits(5mins)

DiscusstheTHINKABOUTITquestions:

Whatdoyoudowithyourgarbage?(E.g.,“Throwitinbins;somerecycled.”)

Whatkindsofthingscanberecycled/reused?(E.g.,“Paper,plasticbottles,glassjars.”)

Share:Invite3–4students.Writedownkeywords:garbage,sort,recycle,reuse.

Step2:Prereading–Vocabulary&SortingPrep(8mins)

VocabularyIntroduction:

Teachwordswithcontextexamples:

sort:“Sortgarbageintoglass,metal,plasticbins.”

recycle:“Recyclepapertomakenewpaper.”

reuse:“Reuseatoyinsteadofthrowingitaway.”

GarbageSortingSimulation:

Use“GarbageCategoryCards”(e.g.,“bottle=glass;can=metal”).Sortasaclass.

Step3:Reading–GarbageDetailExtraction(12mins)

Discussion:“Howdoes‘it’clarifymeaning?(Avoidsrepeatingphraseslike‘towastethings’).”

Step4:Vocabulary&GrammarPractice(10mins)

GarbageSortingRolePlay:

Studentsactas“garbagesorters,”categorizingitemsintoglass/metal/plastic/paper/others.

Example:“Bottle→glass;can→metal;newspaper→paper.”

ErrorcorrectionPractice:

Fix“Herecycle”→“Herecycles”(subjectverbagreement).
