Global Citizens — Ocean Circle

About this lesson

The unit opens with pre-reading questions about the importance of water and the effects of rubbish in the sea. It then presents a reading passage titled 'A Global Responsibility' that argues for protecting oceans from pollution, emphasizing the duty to avoid throwing rubbish or leaving plastic on beaches, to use reusable items instead of plastic bottles and bags, and to participate in beach clean-ups and reduce waste. The text highlights that oceans connect diverse cultures and that collective small actions can protect the sea for future generations. After the passage, comprehension tasks include answering questions about the main problem, actions to avoid, an antonym for 'increase,' and multiple-choice items on vocabulary meaning, the text's purpose, and its genre. The unit also includes a sentence-building section on connectors: 'because' (cause), 'so' (result), 'although' and 'but' (contrast), with exercises to choose the correct connector and complete sentences. By the end, students should be able to discuss ocean protection, understand the reading's message, and use these connectors appropriately.
