same in different parts of our planet. Some areas of the Earth are dying. That is the
result of people’s action.
At today’s lesson we have to answer two major questions of the time:
1. Is the situation really so dangerous? Does a planet have a chance?
2.What can we do to protect the nature and save the Earth?
Рольова гра на основі кейс-методу
Now we are going to role play and discuss thesituation fromdifferent points ofview.
Then you will have to give solutions on this important problem.
Imagine that you are at the international ecological forum. The forum has to discuss
all pros and cons of technological progress and take a decision how to develop new
technologies while preserving the environment.
In our class we have four groups of specialists in different fields of human activities.
They are
 Ecologists
 Industrialists and farmers
 Scientists
 Sociologists
You must listen attentively to the report of every group and then you are to ask our
specialists some questions.
(Кожна група учнів презентує певні проблеми охорони довкілля. На дошці
розміщений постер із зображенням земної кулі. Учні, презентуючи свої проекти,
записують екологічні проблеми на постері)
T.: The group of ecologists represent the British ecological organization “Friends of
the Earth” (FoE). They are going to describe the ecological situation on the planet.
Presentation of Ecologists.
Екологи висвітлюють наступні проблеми:

Dear specialists, while our ecologists are writing, you can discuss the problems
they spoke about and ask them your questions.
(Groups of industrialists, scientists and sociologists ask their questions)
T.:Next comes the group of industrialists and farmers. They are going to discuss the
benefits of developing new technologies in industry and farming.
Presentation of industrialists and farmers.

 We can’t stop technological progress
 New plants mean working places and money for the regions
 New technologies in farming
 The problem of supplying food and GM crops
T.:Dear industrialists write your arguments on the blackboard, please.
And the groups, youhave time to discuss theindustrialists’ reportand askthem some
questions.
