That's an excellent idea．‎ 语法(Grammar)：定语从句（II）（由where, when, why, 介词+ which, 介词+ whom引导的定语从句）‎ The school where I studied only two years was three kilometres away．‎ This was a time when you had got to have a passbook to live in ‎Johannesburg The reason why I got a job was because of my hard work．‎ ‎…we were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the Government．‎ The person to whom you should be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela.‎ 扩展词汇：‎ negative(消极的), heroine(女主角，女主人公), unwilling(不情愿的), nation(国家，民族), sacrifice(牺牲)，realize（认识到）, give up（放弃）, riches（财富）, Bible（圣经）, revolution（革命）, career（职业）, equality（平等）, fairness（公平）, conflict（冲突）, biography（自传）, beliefs（信仰）, Christianity（基督教）, religion（宗教）, priests（牧师）, version（翻译）, readable（易读的）, adventure（冒险）, scholar（学者）, sympathy（同情）, ,campaign（从事活动）, communist（共产主义者）, injustice（不公平）, oppose（反对）, pilot（飞行员）, boycott（联合抵制）。‎ ‎2. 语言技能 (Skills)‎ 听：在本单元的课文及练习册听力教学中， 能听懂人物和事件以及它们的关系，能抓住所听语段中的关键词，正确理解话语间的逻辑关系。‎ 说：在本单元的课文及练习讨论时， 能恰当使用I think/ I don’t think/ in my opinion/That’s an excellent idea等对英雄、伟人的品质恰当地发表意见，进行讨论。‎ 读：能在阅读中使用不同的阅读策略，迅速地从阅读材料中获取主要信息，根据上下文线索预测故事发展，根据上下文猜测词义并通过不同渠道如报刊、音像、网络等了解更多伟人的情况。‎ 写：能用恰当的语言简单地描述人物，并简单地表达自己的意见。‎ 3. 学习策略(Strategy)：‎ 1． 在听和读的训练中，学会借助情景和上下文猜测词义或推测段落大意，借助图表等非语言信息进行理解和表达。‎ 2． 主动制定本单元学习计划，客观评价自己的学习效果，在课内外活动中积极用英语交流，有效地使用词典、图书馆、网络等媒体资源来获得更多的有关伟人的英语信息。‎ 4. 情感态度和价值观（Affect and Values）‎ 了解Nelson Mandela的生平事迹，认识伟人所应具备的优秀品质，并向他们学习，以提高自身素质，树立正确的人生观，学习他们在艰苦的环境下为人类做贡献、不追求享乐的高尚精神。同时也学会一分为二的态度客观看待事物。‎ 二、教材内容分析（Analysis of the teaching materials）‎ 本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊·曼德拉。故事的主题内容分成三个部分，由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉。这样的写法虽然只能反映出曼德拉的一个侧面，但读起来却更为客观可信，使学生对曼德拉有初步的了解。第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助，非国大（ANC）掌权后，伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。这有别于惯常采用的直叙手法，尽可能剔除作者的主观看法，留给学生更多的思考空间，启发学生自己去思考，主动地表述对自己心目中英雄人物的看法。为了让学生完成写作任务，教科书又提供了曼德拉的生平履历表，让学生对曼德拉有了一个更完整的认识。“热身”（Warming Up）部分要求小组讨论伟人应具有的品质，并通过一组问题让学生了解彼此的特点与看法。“读前”（Pre-reading）部分提供了一些重要的历史人物，要求学生读懂每个人的基本情况，并判断他们中谁能称得上是伟大的人。“语言学习”（Learning about Language）部分突出了词汇和语法的学习与训练。本单元的语法是when, where, why, 介词+ which，介词+ whom引导的定语从句。“语言运用”（Using Language）部分中包括了听、读、写三个部分的内容，是本单元主要阅读篇章故事的延续。学生可从中了解南非黑人当时的生活状况以及他们不平等的社会地位，发现曼德拉的伟大之处。该部分提出的一些问题有利于培养学生独立思考的能力和人文精神。其中“写作”（Writing）部分是训练学生选取和组织材料，写出具有说服力的书信。练习册的写作要求学生学写有关伟人或名人的生平。“学习建议”（Learning Tip）指导学生收集、选择和分析有关名人的材料，了解人们对这些名人的评论，以学会正确地评价人物。‎ 三、教学安排(Teaching arrangements)‎ Period 1: Reading I (Elias’ story +the rest of Elias’ story)‎ Period 2: Reading II (review +listening (sb)+language points)‎ Period 3: More language input (reading task (wb) + listening (wb))‎ Period 4: Language Practicing (grammar)‎ Period 5: Writing ‎ 本教学安排根据“LARA教学原则”，对教材进行大胆的删除（L – leave out）、 修补（A – Amending）、替换（R – Replace）、增添（A – Add），灵活的将教材为我所用。新教材在选材和教学活动的设计上充分考虑到学生年龄特征和他们生理和心理发展的需要；在采用话题、功能、结构相结合的教学方法的基础上，设计了“任务型”的活动；对英语语言知识和技能训练作了系统的安排，循序渐进，循环反复，有利于学生构建知识系统；注意培养创新精神，提高实践能力。但新教材也应与学生的实际相结合，我们不能全盘照搬。同时在教学过程中，为了对教学有及时的反馈和有效的改进，我们还进行了“形成性评价”,体现了学生的主体地位。‎ 本单元的语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕“当代英雄”这一中心话题设计的。我们根据本单元实际情况对教材的课时安排作了一些调整，尤其是学生用书(Student’s Book)和作业本(Workbook)有机结合。 ‎ ‎ 根据本单元的教材的特点，按照任务型教学与大容量输入与输出的教学理念，整个单元的设计思路如下：输入“英雄”的概念，先是学生的自由讨论，更通过曼德拉的事迹向学生展示何为当代伟人，以及伟人所要具备的一些品质。在这基础上，第二步要学生辨别伟人与名人的不同，以及体会一分为二的辩证唯物主义。最后我们回到生活中，生活中也有不少平凡但是为了集体崇高的理想，放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的普通民众，他们也是我们心目中的英雄，伟人。由此我们从书本回归到生活，也成功升华，延伸了英雄的概念。通过学习语言点、语法还有写作，学生在内化吸收了知识后，进行了输出。‎ 第一课时是人物传记式的阅读课，但是文章的写作角度比较特别，由穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉，这样的写法比较客观可信。伊莱亚斯的故事与遭遇同时也成为本文与本课的一条贯穿总线。课文有关中心话题的有三个部分，第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助，非国大（ANC）掌权后，伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。考虑到故事发展与情节展开的连续性与关联性以及课堂时间，在这个课时，把第一篇阅读短文与第三篇阅读短文整合起来完成，听力则放在第二课时。首先我们以一首英文经典歌曲 “hero”作为课前的英语氛围的营造与课内的导入，以老师问学生答的有效互动形式自由谈论他们所喜爱的hero并说明理由，提高了“说”的能力。然后是Workbook “talking”部分的四幅人物图像的呈现，以图片展示的形式激励学生用英语进行语言实践活动，然后归纳出英雄的一个模糊标准，为课文学习做好铺垫。之后正式人物曼德拉的登场，进入主题伊莱亚斯眼中的曼德拉。快速阅读部分训练学生的快速阅读能力并让学生对文章的梗概有所了解，对中心人物与背景有一定的印象。在细读过程中，根据课文的内容，问题设计以伊莱亚斯的人生发展为贯穿总线，同时以曼德拉 给予他的影响为副线，环环相扣，层层递进，检查学生对文章的理解程度。在学生掌握课文内容并有了一定量的信息输入之后，给学生创造情境，让学生将所学的知识真实地运用到情境交际中，达到巩固知识与信息输出的目的。在此，依据学生的认知水平，我们设计两个不同难度系数的任务。任务1：Suppose you were Nelson Mandela or Nelson Mandela’s wife, would you like to tell us something impressive? 这里我们希望学生从伊莱亚斯外的角度来述说事情的发展过程，与文章的写作手法呼应，并巩固所学知识。任务2：四人小组活动，一个导游与三个游客之间的交流活动。相对任务1，任务2情境更加生动，更加开拓思维，能够把交际实践与阅读有机结合起来并培养了学生的合作精神。作业的布置一个是让学生在复习课文的同时找出好词好句，另一个是让他们以四人为一个小组，课外用各种媒体工具去找有关曼德拉更多的资料，也是为下节课做准备。‎ ‎ 第二课时是第一课时阅读的巩固，延伸，升华。先通过对错问答检测对课文内容的熟悉程度，然后通过寻找好词好句来呈现词汇与表达，并通过短文填空对词汇进行运用与内化。‎ 巩固了上一堂课的内容，进入延伸部分——一篇听力短文：伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。为了让学生进入听的状态，先为学生营造语境，由熟悉的passbook引出话题，通过问题的形式先让学生预测当时的情景，这样能激发学生用英语进行实践活动并为听力作好准备，然后再自然过渡到听力部分。这样学生在听的时候就有个心理准备，作好了铺垫。到此关于曼德拉的故事基本接近尾声，那么我们可以从中学习到什么呢？学生在这个环节进一步熟悉并巩固了课文。开放式讨论后，我们把目光从曼德拉身上投到其他伟人那里，在这里我们有选择的利用了课文pre-reading部分的四位伟人的图片，讨论四个不同领域的伟人后，思考“What qualities do you think are needed to make a great person?”至此我们总结了伟人应具备的一些品质和所拥有的共同点。那么，这些优秀品质里，你最欣赏哪些？你身边有拥有这样品质的人吗？又是怎么体现的呢？这个讨论把书本与我们的生活又结合起来，让学生明白拥有这些品质并不是伟人所特有的，通过树立正确的人生观，提高自我素质，我们也可以做的到。作业的布置是让学生收集更多伟人的事迹，复习的同时并预习好练习册里的阅读。构建知识框架，形成完整的知识系统性。‎ 第三课时的安排是作为整个单元阅读的一个升华。在上一堂课里应用了课文Pre-reading的一部分，明白了伟人应具备的一些品质，但是我们还遗留了一个问题：是不是名人就是伟人呢？综观这个单元的素材，发现练习册中的阅读部分非常适合这个环节，因此这里我们用比尔.盖茨这个同样具有争议的人代替Pre-reading中的阿姆斯特朗，至此对Pre-reading进行了拆分，并与阅读有机组合在一起。首先老师以问题“As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?”进行过渡与引起注意。然后导入比尔.盖茨的图片，先在没有任何输入的状态下，让学生用已学的表达方式来表达他们对这个人物的看法，操练巩固 “Expressing ideas”的语言功能，其实这也是大脑风暴的热身过程。之后，依次呈现两篇基于不同立场与角度的有关比尔.盖茨文章，利用阅读技巧搜索有用信息后，形成表格进行对比，再让学生debate whether he is a great man, 这里让学生能有条理地表达个人的见解，培养他们独到的见解。老师最后总结出成为伟人的必备条件，而显然比尔.盖茨并不具备。第二环节是练习册中的 “Listening task”, 从上一环节学生对比尔.盖茨的不同看法上升到人们从不同角度看问题会产生不同的看法的理论高度。在训练听的能力的同时也锻炼辩证的思维能力。最后的环节也是本课时的高潮部分，首先以一段“感动中国”中洪战辉的事迹的影音视频进行导入，讨论他是不是感动大家，为什么？是不是符合了“great man”的定义？那么我们身边有没有类似的人呢？在这里，“great man” 的定义得到了延伸与扩展，生活中那些平凡但是为了集体崇高的理想，放弃个人利益而不断努力克服困难的普通民众，他们也是我们心目中的“great man”。作业是让学生写一个计划，考虑怎样才能进一步向心目中的“great man”的标准靠拢。这个作业的布置是人性化的，具有弹性的，开拓了学生的发散性思维，同时也是对学生自身品质的一次自我审查。‎ 第四课时本课时的重点是语法定语从句的关系副词（when, where, why）和介词+‎ 关系代词。因为在第四单元已经对定语从句有了基本的了解，所以在这里我们要做的是遵循学生的认知规律，难度适中，循序渐进的进行语法的教学，加深理解，提高实际运用能力。首先以基于阅读课文的问答式引出课文中出现的四句很具有代表性的定语从句，复习了课文也引出了本单元的重点语言现象——定语从句。然后展示一个有关定语从句的Flash动画，形象生动，活跃气氛。接下来通过一组练习来同时复习一下上个单元的语法项——关系代词，起到承上启下的作用。再导入两个例句1. We were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government．2. The person to whom you should be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela.让学生观察这两个句子与其他句子的不同，并通过一组练习，让学生知道介词是怎么产生的和怎么挑选合适的介词。那么怎么解决这三个关系副词呢？根据学生的认知规律，我们设计了三个句子为一组，分别体现which----at/ in /on which----when; which----in which----where; which----for which----why 的演变过程。接下来进行有针对性的练习操练，练习的设计也是从易到难循序渐进，先是连线题，再是补充定语从句部分，最后的练习是用定语从句把两个单句组成一句话，让学生的学习能力阶梯式的加强。学习的最终目的是输出，也是应用于交际中，所以本课时的最后给学生设计了一个输出的任务——四人一组活动，应用定语从句，谈谈你生活中的五件印象最深刻的事情，人物，地点，时间等。这个活动贴近学生的生活实际，内容丰富，让学生有话可讲。作业布置：1.把最后一个活动再继续深化，编为一篇短文。2. 完成课本里大量丰富的相关练习，此时是学生巩固的最好机会。‎ 第五课时是写作课，响应新课程对写作的重视，我们特别在本学期强调了写作的教学。在本课时中，首先通过对上一堂课作业——定语从句短文的展示，既检查了作业，又巩固了语法，也过渡到人物写作这个中心话题。整堂课是按照作文的组成部分为线索展开的，先是关注写作里词汇的处理，注重选词对文章的印象，在这里我们充分利用了练习册第70页的这篇文章填空，在两个相似词汇之间的选择，让学生明白了措辞的重要性。之后，让学生回答在本单元习得的有用词汇，通过71页的翻译句子运用这些刚学的新词汇。如果说词汇是文章的血肉，那么结构与提纲就是骨架。回到70页的这篇数学家的介绍，通过师生问答，让学生归纳出这篇文章的提纲，然后给学生机会尝试写一个介绍曼德拉的提纲。因本单元中出现信的写作，为了把书本与练习册两个写作结合起来，我们设计了如下的任务：Suppose the magazine “Global People” begins its annual activity of choosing the top ten great men in 20th century, will you write a letter to support Nelson Mandela? 这样学生既实际练习了写信，也学会怎么介绍与描述一个人。最终我们期望学生能把新学的词汇、句型与语法运用到作文里面，把整个单元的学习很好地加以输出。‎ 补充：考虑到每个学校每个班级教学与学生的差异，我们没有对语言点进行单独备课，但是给大家准备了 “Language supermarket”，里面资料详尽，供各位老师根据教学实际情况自由选择。‎ 四、单元预习任务（Pre-unit Activities: Preview Task）‎ ‎1、根据本单元教学目标和要求，了解本单元话题和任务，充分做好课前预习工作。‎ ‎2、预习语言知识，包括词汇表里的词汇和扩展词汇，掌握词义、发音、词性以及其基本用法。鼓励学生勤查字典。‎ ‎3、多渠道（如报刊、杂志、网络等等）查阅并了解与本单元话题有关的背景知识和材料。‎ 推荐网址：‎ ‎4、做好每课时的课前具体预习任务。‎ 第一课时前：‎ 1、 根据教学目标和要求，了解本课时的话题和任务，预习课文的语言知识，包括词汇表里的词汇和短语，以及课外提供的扩展词汇，掌握词义、发音、词性以及基本用法。鼓励学生勤查字典。‎ 1、 预习阅读材料，掌握文章的中心思想和基本脉络。 ‎ 2、 通过报刊、杂志、网络等途径，多渠道查阅并了解与阅读材料相关的信息资料和背景知识，做好充分的课前预习工作。‎ 推荐网址：http://www.anc.org.za/people/mandela.html http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/bio.asp ‎（学生可以通过以下问题来自我检查预习情况）‎ Questionnaire:‎ Q1: What qualities do you think you should have?

Help the students learn to get information by listening, and cultivate the listening ability.‎ 2. Get the students to talk about their various opinions freely in English.‎ Step1. Reading (WB)‎ T: As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?‎ S:‎ ‎(Show some pictures of Bill Gates, his software and his company).‎ T: Do you know who he is? ‎ S:‎ T: What else do you know about him?‎ S: CEO of software T: Great, so many of you know him. He is really so famous. But is he a great man?‎ S1: I think Bill Gates is / is not _____________, because ________________________________.‎ S2:‎ T: You see, so you have different ideas. Let’s have a look at him in the two passages. Let’s read the passage quickly and fill in the information sheet.‎ INFORMATION ON BILL GATES Job Chief Executive Officer of a computer company Achievements Produced software that is used all over the world What did he give up for his beliefs?‎ None ‎ Generosity Gave money to causes for children’s education and health Why does he have enemies?‎ Other people are jealous of his success Why attacked by the government?‎ They thought he was too big and too powerful and that is unfair to his competitors T: What does the follower of Bill Gates think of him?‎ Why does he think Bill is great?‎ What about Bill’s competitor?‎ Why?‎ Please read the passage again more carefully and find out the evidence to support each point. Lets’ have a debate. The following chart may help you.‎ Great Man Not a Great Man He has his own company and software.‎ No one can compete with his software.‎ He fits his software free in every computer.‎ His software is not the best but used most widely.‎ He gives money to causes for children’s education and health.‎ He tries hard to stop others making better software so that he may be a computer bully.‎ ‎(T can ask Ss to finish the chart first, and then ask them to give a short report to tell us the reason why Bill Gates is a great man or why not.)‎ T: Thank you for your excellent report. In a word, a great man should be the one who has followed his/her ideas and sacrificed something so that they could be realized. If he/she has not gone through struggles and difficulties for their noble cause, they can’t be called a great person. From your report, we find that different people have different ideas, not only on this affair, but also on some common things in our daily life. Here is the same example which happened in our listening text.‎ Step 2. Listening (WB)‎ ‎(Show Ss a picture of an accident)‎ T: What happened in the picture? If you witness the accident, what will you do?‎ Ss: Call 120. / Tell policeman the truth. / …‎ T: If the policeman asks you to describe what you have witnessed, what will you say?‎ S1: …‎ T: What’s your point of view?‎ S2: …‎ T: You see, on this accident, you two have different views. Usually, after an accident, the police will not just ask one person. Can you guess why? What about listening to the tape to find out the reason? ‎ ‎(Ask the Ss to listen to the tape.)‎ T: So why will the police not just ask one person?‎ S: …‎ T: Instead, what will the police do?‎ S: He will ask everyone present.‎ T: But sometimes, people will tell different stories after an accident, just as what you did just now. Do you know why? So listen to the tape again and find out the answers to these two questions:‎ ‎ Q1: Why will people tell different stories after an accident?‎ ‎ Q2: What does “a point of view” mean?‎ ‎(Check the answers.)‎ T: You see, when you look at people or things, you may have a different point of view from others. On this accident, two people have different points of views. Please listen to the tape once again, and take some notes of the information on the accident by person A and person B.‎ ‎(Check the answers of exercise 2.)‎ T: So why did the two speakers have different ideas about the cause of the accident?‎ S: …‎ T: After you get the information, who do you think caused the accident? Why?‎ S: …‎ T: What conclusion can you draw after the reading and the listening?‎ S:‎ T: So next time when you look at one event, will you just look on one side? ‎ Standing on different fields will give you totally different views. So please don’t just judge an event from one side. Just like the topic we talked in this unit – great men. In this unit, we talked a lot about great men, and most of them are famous people. What about ordinary people? Are they just ordinary? Can they become great men?‎ Step 3. Further discussion ‎(Show a short video of “Move China”)‎ T: Do you know him? Is he as ordinary as us? But is he a great man? Why? ‎ ‎(T can ask Ss to discuss some detailed questions and then show their ideas.)‎ ‎ 1) Who is he? What happened to him?‎ ‎ 2) Do you think he is a great man? Why do you think so?‎ ‎(Ss may give a conclusion: he is really a great person. T can get Ss into a heated discussion, and let ‎ them have a free talk.)‎ ‎ 1) Can you list any other ordinary people who you think they are great?‎ ‎ 2) Are there any teachers you admire a lot? Why?‎ ‎3) And what about your friends? Your schoolmates?‎ T: Important people may be great. But when we think about a person or a situation in different respects, maybe we can open another window. We can describe a person we think is a great person because of what this person does for the community and others. Judging from these flashing qualities, they are loved and admired by the people around them. They are the great people in our heart.‎ Step 4. Homework If we ordinary people can become great ones, will you want to be a great one? If so, how to be a ‎ great person? Can you write your plan to reach the great goal?‎ 附板书设计：（Blackboard Design）‎ I think Bill Gates is / is not _____________, because ________________________________.‎ Great man?‎ ‎ Great ordinary Period 4: Language Practicing Teaching goals ‎ 1. To discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.‎ 2. To learn Attributive Clauses part2 (where, when, why, prep. +which /whom)‎ Step 1 Lead-in ‎(By asking Ss some Qs about Elias, then lead in some attributive clauses in the reading text. Get Ss to learn the grammar from their book.)‎ T: In Elias’s story, Nelson Mandela acted an important role in his life, and a lot of things greatly changed because of him. So there are many unforgettable experiences in Elias’s mind. Suppose you are /were Elias, can you tell us some of your impressive experiences?‎ Ss: Yes/Ok T:‎ Q1: When did you first meet Nelson Mandela?‎ S1: I met Nelson Mandela in a very difficult period of my life.‎ T: So you mean the time when you first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of your life.

The words underlined are all modified by sentences. Do you still remember what we call these kinds of clauses?‎ Ss: Attributive clause.‎ T: Yeah, the attributive clauses are very useful in our expression. ‎ ‎ (Show a short flash of the dialogue between a couple)‎ Now let’s review some together. Will you fill in the proper words?‎ Ex1:‎ 1. Is he the man who/that wants to see you?‎ 2. He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.‎ 1. They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.‎ 2. The package (which / that) you are carrying is about to come unwrapped.‎ T: What do we call the words which you filled in just now?。‎ S: Relative pronoun. T: What are they?‎ Relative pronoun ：who, whom, whose, that, which等。‎ Step 3 Grammar learning T: Besides these words and sentences, we find another language using in our text.‎ We were put in a position in which we had either to accept we were less important, or fight the government．‎ The person to whom you should be grateful for a peaceful South Africa is Nelson Mandela T: What’s the differences between these two and others?‎ S: We have a preposition before the relative pronoun.‎ T: But where is the preposition from?‎ Let’s observe the following sentences!‎ Ex2:‎ ‎1. The speed at which light travels is ‎300000km per second.(由先行词的习惯搭配决定)‎ ‎ at the speed of ‎2. This is the teacher from whom I borrow the book. (borrow from)（动词词组）‎ ‎3. Don’t bring the children to see the animals of which they are afraid.

Robben‎ ‎Island‎ is the place where Mr Mandela once was kept.‎ 1. Is this the reason which he was late for?‎ 2. Is this the reason for which he was late?‎ 3. Is this the reason why he was late?‎ 4. 5. 6. 关系副词：when, where, why.‎ 关系副词可代替的先行词是时间，地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语，相当于“介词+which”结构，经常交替使用。‎ Step 4 Grammar practice Ex1: Elias has had some problems with his messages for his friends. Can you help him form sentences with the following words and phrases. Match them please.‎ was the 5th of August.‎ was because of my hard work.‎ were ‎9km from my house.‎ was late at night.‎ was very grand.‎ we voted I worked ‎ I joined the ANC Youth League I got a job I arrived The mines ‎ The reason ‎ The time The government building ‎ The date ‎ ‎ ‎ where when why Ex2: Now will you complete these sentences using an attributive clause with when, where or why？‎ 1. That was the reason why I had to go hospital for so long and I could not go on my holiday to Britain.‎ 2. Mary Brown moved to a place where she was close to the sea, so she could go swimming every day.‎ 3.

Now would you combine the two sentences by using the attributive clause?‎ Eg: Wang An moved to the US from Shanghai in 1945. He was born in Shanghai.‎ ‎ Wang An moved from Shanghai, where he was born, to the US in 1945.‎ 1. Harvard is a world-famous university where/from which Wang An got his doctor’s degree.‎ 2. He arrived in America in 1945 as a young man who had lost most of his family during the Anti-Japanese war.‎ ‎3 Wang An spent 3years in Harvard‎ ‎University where/ in which he studied applied physics.‎ ‎4. In 1951 Dr Wang founded his own company where/ in which computers were made.‎ ‎5. He became a very successful entrepreneur in the US in 1985, when he made $3 billion.‎ ‎6. Dr Wang died in 1990 when IT was developing rapidly all over the world.‎ ‎7. This is Dr Wang to whom the computer belonged.‎ Step 5 Language production T: Dr Wang made great achievements during his life. Some time, places and events mean a lot to him. They are his unforgettable experiences. And what about you? Do you have some great moments and places to remember? Now think about the most five important things in your life. and share them with your partners. Let’s work in four.‎ Top five in your life ‎ Eg: Linhai is a beautiful city where I was born.‎ ‎ I was born in 1985 when my sisster was five years old.‎ ‎ I will never forget the day when….‎ ‎1.‎ ‎2.‎ ‎3.‎ ‎4.‎ ‎5‎ Step 6 Homework ‎1. Make what you discussed into a short passage by using the attributive clause.‎ ‎2. Finish the exercises in the workbook.‎ 附板书设计：（Blackboard Design）‎ Attributive clause relative pronoun ：who, whom, whose, that, which等。‎ 关系代词whom, which前介词的选择由先行词的习惯搭配或后半句动词的搭配而决定。‎ 关系副词：when, where, why.‎ 关系副词可代替的先行词是时间，地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语，相当于“介词+which”结构，经常交替使用。‎ Period 5: Writing Teaching goals ‎ 1. Deal with the knowledge learned and the writing part 2. Teach the students how to write a persuading letter.‎ Step 1. Lead in T: Hello, everyone. Now I am very eager to know the top five things in your life. Would you like to share them with me? Others please pay attention to the attributive clauses in his report.‎ Ss: …‎ T: Well done, how many attributive clauses are used in the report?‎ Ss:‎ T: Just as you see, with this structure, the sentences you made will become more vivid and beautiful. And from what he told you just now, class, what kind person our speaker is?‎ Ss: Brave, honest…‎ T: But is it enough to describe one person in this way? What else is needed?‎ Ss: (Get into a discussion)‎ Step 2. Using words and expressions T: Good ideas. Would you like to know more? Now here’s a good example. Let’s turn to Page 70. First go through the text quickly. Who can tell me what the passage talks about?‎ S: It’s about a mathematician named Charles Babbage.‎ T: Now choose the words or expressions from the brackets to complete the passage.‎ ‎(Leave Ss 2minutes to finish the passage.)‎ T: You can find the words are similar to each other. So as a good writer, he may vary words to express something better. So picking of proper words is very important. And have you stored some good words or phrases from our text?‎ Ss: ...‎ T: But can you use them out in your writing? Let’s have a try. Here we’ve got some, and please choose some of them to translate my sentences. ( Page 71)‎ ‎(as a matter of fact; in trouble; out of work; come to power; advise; lose heart; be sentenced to; willing; set up; continue).‎ T: Please always remember: words and phrases are the bricks of the house or the muscles and blood of the body. So collecting more words is a way to write a beautiful passage. Besides the muscles and blood, but what about the bones of the article? ‎ Step3. Make an outline for structure T: Let’s go back to the passage. Can you give me more information about the mathematician? Like when and where was he born? What happened in his childhood? And what happened later? …‎ Ss: …‎ T: Yes, in paragraph one, it writes about his personal information. And what happened in paragraph two? What other information does it mention?‎ Ss: …‎ T: In paragraph two, it tells us his hard work and achievements. Why do we say he worked hard? What were his achievements? Did he suffer a lot or meet with some problems? What do people think of him? Why?‎ Ss: …‎ T: So in conclusion, this passage can be divided into two parts. They are:‎ Paragraph 1: Personal information Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements T: That’s the brief outline of this passage, and can we add something more about it?‎ S: (Get into a discussion and report their ideas)‎ T: Generally speaking, when we write a passage about a person, maybe we’d better write about his qualities in the passage and we can also show our opinion of the hero. So can you write an outline of a passage about a great person?‎ ‎(Leave several minutes to the Ss to make an outline, and let them exchange their ideas freely)‎ T: According to your arrangement, your outline may be like this:‎ Paragraph 1: Personal information Paragraph 2: His / Her hard work and achievements Paragraph 3: His / Her good qualities Paragraph 4: Your opinion T: Here you have a chance to practice how to write a passage about a person.

‎ ‎1990 freed by white government．‎ ‎1991 leader of ANC．‎ ‎1993 first black President of South Africa．‎ ‎1999 retired as President and returned to live in his hometown in the Transkei, South Africa．‎ ‎2.Elias Elias, who tells Nelson Mandela's story, had a life that was very common to many who helped Nelson Mandela and fought for the cause．Everything that is mentioned in the story is true．The facts of Mandela's life and Elias’ life are accurate．Elias' story is based on the life of a man who supported the ANC and was sent to Robben Island for 4 years．He then spent 20 years trying to get another job．He now takes tourists round his former prison and he tells them how he suffered for his beliefs．After he left Robben Island he tried many times to make a career for himself．Each time he successfully got a job the secret police would tell his employers about his time in prison and he would lose his job．Elias’ time in prison was also true．The political prisoners were allowed no privileges but prisoners that had not done illegal political acts were allowed to study degree courses from South African universities．You can visit Robben Island, as it is now a museum and open to visitors．There are no prisoners there any more．‎ ‎3.William Tyndale William Tyndale believed that the Bible should be able to be read by everyone．At that time Christianity was the religion of England but the Bible was only read and understood by priests and religious people．It was written in several different ancient languages and there was no version in English．William Tyndale made it his life's work to translate the Bible into easily readable English for the people of his time．He had to learn to read ancient Greek and Hebrew to be able to do this．But there were many people who did not like the idea that just anybody should be able to read the Bible．The priests and some religious people thought it meant they would have less power so they tried to stop him．He had many adventures and once even lost all his translations．He had ‎ taken a ship to England and there was such a bad storm that the books had to be thrown into the sea．So he had to start all over again．But he did not give up．He was a generous scholar and gave his work to others who were also trying to translate the Bible．He hoped that in this way the project could be finished earlier．At last he was caught and put to death for his beliefs．After his death the Bible was published in English and more than 80% of it was the work of William Tyndale．The language is very beautiful and many sayings and expressions that are used in England today come from it．It is a very important text．There are some phrases from it at the end of the guidance for this unit．‎ ‎4.Mahatma Gandhi His ideas were used by Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr as a way of drawing attention to their cause and getting sympathy from people around the world．His importance comes from the moral force of his ideas because he does not suggest that people should return violence with violence．His campaigns against the passbooks for Indians in South Africa, the salt tax, the import of cotton clothes from England and the continuation of British rule in India were all based on the principle of non-violence．They were very successful and the Indians have been independent from Britain since 1947.‎ ‎5.Norman Bethune Norman Bethune was a Canadian

He was born into a family with a rich history in business, politics, and community service. His great-grandfather had been a state legislator and mayor, his grandfather was the vice president of a national bank, and his father was a prominent lawyer. [Wallace, 1992, p. 8-9] Early on in life, it was apparent that Bill Gates inherited the ambition, intelligence, and competitive spirit that had helped his progenitors rise to the top in their chosen professions. In elementary school he quickly surpassed all of his peer's abilities in nearly all subjects, especially math and science. His parents recognized his intelligence and decided to enroll him in Lakeside, a private school known for its intense academic environment. This decision had far reaching effects on Bill Gates's life. For at Lakeside, Bill Gates was first introduced to computers.‎ The Birth of Microsoft ‎ In December of 1974, Allen was on his way to visit Gates when along the way he stopped to browse the current magazines. What he saw changed his and Bill Gates's lives forever. On the cover of Popular Electronics was a picture of the Altair 8080 and the headline "World's First Microcomputer Kit to Rival Commercial Models." He bought the issue and rushed over to Gates's dorm room. They both recognized this as their big opportunity. The two knew that the home computer market was about to explode and that someone would need to make software for the new machines. Within a few days, Gates had called MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems), the makers of the Altair. He told the company that he and Allen had developed a BASIC that could be used on the Altair [Teamgates.com, ‎9/29/96‎]. This was a lie. They had not even written a line of code. They had neither an Altair nor the chip that ran the computer. The MITS company did not know this and was very interested in seeing their BASIC. So, Gates and Allen began working feverishly on the BASIC they had promised. The code for the program was left mostly up to Bill Gates while Paul Allen began working on a way to simulate the Altair with the schools PDP-10. Eight weeks later, the two felt their program was ready. Allen was to fly to MITS and show off their creation. The day after Allen arrived at MITS, it was time to test their BASIC. Entering the program into the company's Altair was the first time Allen had ever touched one. If the Altair simulation he designed or any of Gates's code was faulty, the demonstration would most likely have ended in failure. This was not the case, and the program worked perfectly the first time [Wallace, 1992, p. ‎ ‎80]. MITS arranged a deal with Gates and Allen to buy the rights to their BASIC.[Teamgates.com, 9/29/96] Gates was convinced that the software market had been born. Within a year, Bill Gates had dropped out of Harvard and Microsoft was formed.‎ 七、评价(Assessment)‎ Task 1: Collect information about “Nelson Mandela – a modern hero” learnt in this unit and make notes if necessary.‎ Task 2: Reflection 教师反馈Teacher’s reflection: ‎ 1.
