Introduction (2’): The teacher tells the class they are going to talk about the environmental problems, and what they should do to protect the nature.

Presentation (10’): The teacher asks the students if they have seen anybody who throws their garbage outside. Then after listening to a few students, s/he asks them to make their warnings in English. The teacher helps them forming sentences by using should and shouldn’t. After a few times, s/he shows the materials s/he brought, and forms sentences using these materials. S/he tells them how they should behave, and how they should take out garbage without endangering the environment.

Activity (20’): The teacher asks the students to form groups of four. Firstly they need to choose a role in the group.
