一、教學目標和要求(Teaching aims and demands)
根據(jù)課程標準實驗教材（英語 必修）關(guān)于總目標的具體描述，結(jié)合高一學生實際和教材內(nèi)容，我們將教學目標分為語言知識、語言技能、學習策略、情感態(tài)度和價值觀四個方面。

說：在本單元的課文及練習討論時， 能恰當使用I think/ I don’t think/ in my opinion/That’s an excellent idea等對英雄、偉人的品質(zhì)恰當?shù)匕l(fā)表意見，進行討論。
讀：能在閱讀中使用不同的閱讀策略，迅速地從閱讀材料中獲取主要信息，根據(jù)上下文線索預測故事發(fā)展，根據(jù)上下文猜測詞義并通過不同渠道如報刊、音像、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等了解更多偉人的情況。
寫：能用恰當?shù)恼Z言簡單地描述人物，并簡單地表達自己的意見。
3. 學習策略(Strategy)：
1． 在聽和讀的訓練中，學會借助情景和上下文猜測詞義或推測段落大意，借助圖表等非語言信息進行理解和表達。
2． 主動制定本單元學習計劃，客觀評價自己的學習效果，在課內(nèi)外活動中積極用英語交流，有效地使用詞典、圖書館、網(wǎng)絡(luò)等媒體資源來獲得更多的有關(guān)偉人的英語信息。
4. 情感態(tài)度和價值觀（Affect and Values）
了解Nelson Mandela的生平事跡，認識偉人所應具備的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)，并向他們學習，以提高自身素質(zhì)，樹立正確的人生觀，學習他們在艱苦的環(huán)境下為人類做貢獻、不追求享樂的高尚精神。同時也學會一分為二的態(tài)度客觀看待事物。
二、教材內(nèi)容分析（Analysis of the teaching materials）
本單元的中心話題是當代英雄納爾遜曼德拉。故事的主題內(nèi)容分成三個部分，由窮苦的黑人工人伊萊亞斯敘述他眼中的曼德拉。這樣的寫法雖然只能反映出曼德拉的一個側(cè)面，但讀起來卻更為客觀可信，使學生對曼德拉有初步的了解。第一篇閱讀短文伊萊亞斯向我們介紹1952-1963年期間的曼德拉。第二篇聽力短文伊萊亞斯講述了他為了爭取與白人有平等的權(quán)利而參加了曼德拉的非洲國民大會青年聯(lián)盟。第三篇閱讀短文伊萊亞斯說到他在羅本島監(jiān)獄得到了曼德拉的幫助，非國大（ANC）掌權(quán)后，伊萊亞斯又回到羅本島監(jiān)獄擔任導游。這有別于慣常采用的直敘手法，盡可能剔除作者的主觀看法，留給學生更多的思考空間，啟發(fā)學生自己去思考，主動地表述對自己心目中英雄人物的看法。為了讓學生完成寫作任務(wù)，教科書又提供了曼德拉的生平履歷表，讓學生對曼德拉有了一個更完整的認識�！盁嵘怼保╓arming Up）部分要求小組討論偉人應具有的品質(zhì)，并通過一組問題讓學生了解彼此的特點與看法�！白x前”（Pre-reading）部分提供了一些重要的歷史人物，要求學生讀懂每個人的基本情況，并判斷他們中誰能稱得上是偉大的人。“語言學習”（Learning about Language）部分突出了詞匯和語法的學習與訓練。本單元的語法是when, where, why, 介詞+ which，介詞+ whom引導的定語從句。“語言運用”（Using Language）部分中包括了聽、讀、寫三個部分的內(nèi)容，是本單元主要閱讀篇章故事的延續(xù)。學生可從中了解南非黑人當時的生活狀況以及他們不平等的社會地位，發(fā)現(xiàn)曼德拉的偉大之處。該部分提出的一些問題有利于培養(yǎng)學生獨立思考的能力和人文精神。其中“寫作”（Writing）部分是訓練學生選取和組織材料，寫出具有說服力的書信。練習冊的寫作要求學生學寫有關(guān)偉人或名人的生平。“學習建議”（Learning Tip）指導學生收集、選擇和分析有關(guān)名人的材料，了解人們對這些名人的評論，以學會正確地評價人物。
三、教學安排(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
本教學安排根據(jù)“LARA教學原則”，對教材進行大膽的刪除（L – leave out）、 修補（A – Amending）、替換（R – Replace）、增添（A – Add），靈活的將教材為我所用。新教材在選材和教學活動的設(shè)計上充分考慮到學生年齡特征和他們生理和心理發(fā)展的需要；在采用話題、功能、結(jié)構(gòu)相結(jié)合的教學方法的基礎(chǔ)上，設(shè)計了“任務(wù)型”的活動；對英語語言知識和技能訓練作了系統(tǒng)的安排，循序漸進，循環(huán)反復，有利于學生構(gòu)建知識系統(tǒng)；注意培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)新精神，提高實踐能力。但新教材也應與學生的實際相結(jié)合，我們不能全盤照搬。同時在教學過程中，為了對教學有及時的反饋和有效的改進，我們還進行了“形成性評價”,體現(xiàn)了學生的主體地位。
本單元的語言技能和語言知識幾乎都圍繞“當代英雄”這一中心話題設(shè)計的。我們根據(jù)本單元實際情況對教材的課時安排作了一些調(diào)整，尤其是學生用書(Student’s Book)和作業(yè)本(Workbook)有機結(jié)合。
根據(jù)本單元的教材的特點，按照任務(wù)型教學與大容量輸入與輸出的教學理念，整個單元的設(shè)計思路如下：輸入“英雄”的概念，先是學生的自由討論，更通過曼德拉的事跡向?qū)W生展示何為當代偉人，以及偉人所要具備的一些品質(zhì)。在這基礎(chǔ)上，第二步要學生辨別偉人與名人的不同，以及體會一分為二的辯證唯物主義。最后我們回到生活中，生活中也有不少平凡但是為了集體崇高的理想，放棄個人利益而不斷努力克服困難的普通民眾，他們也是我們心目中的英雄，偉人。由此我們從書本回歸到生活，也成功升華，延伸了英雄的概念。通過學習語言點、語法還有寫作，學生在內(nèi)化吸收了知識后，進行了輸出。
第一課時是人物傳記式的閱讀課，但是文章的寫作角度比較特別，由窮苦的黑人工人伊萊亞斯敘述他眼中的曼德拉，這樣的寫法比較客觀可信。伊萊亞斯的故事與遭遇同時也成為本文與本課的一條貫穿總線。課文有關(guān)中心話題的有三個部分，第一篇閱讀短文伊萊亞斯向我們介紹1952-1963年期間的曼德拉。第二篇聽力短文伊萊亞斯講述了他為了爭取與白人有平等的權(quán)利而參加了曼德拉的非洲國民大會青年聯(lián)盟。第三篇閱讀短文伊萊亞斯說到他在羅本島監(jiān)獄得到了曼德拉的幫助，非國大（ANC）掌權(quán)后，伊萊亞斯又回到羅本島監(jiān)獄擔任導游�？紤]到故事發(fā)展與情節(jié)展開的連續(xù)性與關(guān)聯(lián)性以及課堂時間，在這個課時，把第一篇閱讀短文與第三篇閱讀短文整合起來完成，聽力則放在第二課時。首先我們以一首英文經(jīng)典歌曲 “hero”作為課前的英語氛圍的營造與課內(nèi)的導入，以老師問學生答的有效互動形式自由談?wù)撍麄兯矏鄣膆ero并說明理由，提高了“說”的能力。然后是Workbook “talking”部分的四幅人物圖像的呈現(xiàn)，以圖片展示的形式激勵學生用英語進行語言實踐活動，然后歸納出英雄的一個模糊標準，為課文學習做好鋪墊。之后正式人物曼德拉的登場，進入主題伊萊亞斯眼中的曼德拉�？焖匍喿x部分訓練學生的快速閱讀能力并讓學生對文章的梗概有所了解，對中心人物與背景有一定的印象。在細讀過程中，根據(jù)課文的內(nèi)容，問題設(shè)計以伊萊亞斯的人生發(fā)展為貫穿總線，同時以曼德拉給予他的影響為副線，環(huán)環(huán)相扣，層層遞進，檢查學生對文章的理解程度。在學生掌握課文內(nèi)容并有了一定量的信息輸入之后，給學生創(chuàng)造情境，讓學生將所學的知識真實地運用到情境交際中，達到鞏固知識與信息輸出的目的。在此，依據(jù)學生的認知水平，我們設(shè)計兩個不同難度系數(shù)的任務(wù)。任務(wù)1：Suppose you were Nelson Mandela or Nelson Mandela’s wife, would you like to tell us something impressive? 這里我們希望學生從伊萊亞斯外的角度來述說事情的發(fā)展過程，與文章的寫作手法呼應，并鞏固所學知識。任務(wù)2：四人小組活動，一個導游與三個游客之間的交流活動。相對任務(wù)1，任務(wù)2情境更加生動，更加開拓思維，能夠把交際實踐與閱讀有機結(jié)合起來并培養(yǎng)了學生的合作精神。作業(yè)的布置一個是讓學生在復習課文的同時找出好詞好句，另一個是讓他們以四人為一個小組，課外用各種媒體工具去找有關(guān)曼德拉更多的資料，也是為下節(jié)課做準備。
第二課時是第一課時閱讀的鞏固，延伸，升華。先通過對錯問答檢測對課文內(nèi)容的熟悉程度，然后通過尋找好詞好句來呈現(xiàn)詞匯與表達，并通過短文填空對詞匯進行運用與內(nèi)化。
鞏固了上一堂課的內(nèi)容，進入延伸部分--一篇聽力短文：伊萊亞斯講述了他為了爭取與白人有平等的權(quán)利而參加了曼德拉的非洲國民大會青年聯(lián)盟。為了讓學生進入聽的狀態(tài)，先為學生營造語境，由熟悉的passbook引出話題，通過問題的形式先讓學生預測當時的情景，這樣能激發(fā)學生用英語進行實踐活動并為聽力作好準備，然后再自然過渡到聽力部分。這樣學生在聽的時候就有個心理準備，作好了鋪墊。到此關(guān)于曼德拉的故事基本接近尾聲，那么我們可以從中學習到什么呢？學生在這個環(huán)節(jié)進一步熟悉并鞏固了課文。開放式討論后，我們把目光從曼德拉身上投到其他偉人那里，在這里我們有選擇的利用了課文pre-reading部分的四位偉人的圖片，討論四個不同領(lǐng)域的偉人后，思考“What qualities do you think are needed to make a great person?”至此我們總結(jié)了偉人應具備的一些品質(zhì)和所擁有的共同點。那么，這些優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)里，你最欣賞哪些？你身邊有擁有這樣品質(zhì)的人嗎？又是怎么體現(xiàn)的呢？這個討論把書本與我們的生活又結(jié)合起來，讓學生明白擁有這些品質(zhì)并不是偉人所特有的，通過樹立正確的人生觀，提高自我素質(zhì)，我們也可以做的到。作業(yè)的布置是讓學生收集更多偉人的事跡，復習的同時并預習好練習冊里的閱讀。構(gòu)建知識框架，形成完整的知識系統(tǒng)性。
第三課時的安排是作為整個單元閱讀的一個升華。在上一堂課里應用了課文Pre-reading的一部分，明白了偉人應具備的一些品質(zhì)，但是我們還遺留了一個問題：是不是名人就是偉人呢？綜觀這個單元的素材，發(fā)現(xiàn)練習冊中的閱讀部分非常適合這個環(huán)節(jié)，因此這里我們用比爾.蓋茨這個同樣具有爭議的人代替Pre-reading中的阿姆斯特朗，至此對Pre-reading進行了拆分，并與閱讀有機組合在一起。首先老師以問題“As we know, most of the great people are also important and famous, but are important people the great ones?”進行過渡與引起注意。然后導入比爾.蓋茨的圖片，先在沒有任何輸入的狀態(tài)下，讓學生用已學的表達方式來表達他們對這個人物的看法，操練鞏固 “Expressing ideas”的語言功能，其實這也是大腦風暴的熱身過程。之后，依次呈現(xiàn)兩篇基于不同立場與角度的有關(guān)比爾.蓋茨文章，利用閱讀技巧搜索有用信息后，形成表格進行對比，再讓學生debate whether he is a great man, 這里讓學生能有條理地表達個人的見解，培養(yǎng)他們獨到的見解。老師最后總結(jié)出成為偉人的必備條件，而顯然比爾.蓋茨并不具備。第二環(huán)節(jié)是練習冊中的 “Listening task”, 從上一環(huán)節(jié)學生對比爾.蓋茨的不同看法上升到人們從不同角度看問題會產(chǎn)生不同的看法的理論高度。在訓練聽的能力的同時也鍛煉辯證的思維能力。最后的環(huán)節(jié)也是本課時的高潮部分，首先以一段“感動中國”中洪戰(zhàn)輝的事跡的影音視頻進行導入，討論他是不是感動大家，為什么？是不是符合了“great man”的定義？那么我們身邊有沒有類似的人呢？在這里，“great man” 的定義得到了延伸與擴展，生活中那些平凡但是為了集體崇高的理想，放棄個人利益而不斷努力克服困難的普通民眾，他們也是我們心目中的“great man”。作業(yè)是讓學生寫一個計劃，考慮怎樣才能進一步向心目中的“great man”的標準靠攏。這個作業(yè)的布置是人性化的，具有彈性的，開拓了學生的發(fā)散性思維，同時也是對學生自身品質(zhì)的一次自我審查。
第四課時本課時的重點是語法定語從句的關(guān)系副詞（when, where, why）和介詞+關(guān)系代詞。因為在第四單元已經(jīng)對定語從句有了基本的了解，所以在這里我們要做的是遵循學生的認知規(guī)律，難度適中，循序漸進的進行語法的教學，加深理解，提高實際運用能力。首先以基于閱讀課文的問答式引出課文中出現(xiàn)的四句很具有代表性的定語從句，復習了課文也引出了本單元的重點語言現(xiàn)象--定語從句。然后展示一個有關(guān)定語從句的Flash動畫，形象生動，活躍氣氛。接下來通過一組練習來同時復習一下上個單元的語法項--關(guān)系代詞，起到承上啟下的作用。再導入兩個例句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.讓學生觀察這兩個句子與其他句子的不同，并通過一組練習，讓學生知道介詞是怎么產(chǎn)生的和怎么挑選合適的介詞。那么怎么解決這三個關(guān)系副詞呢？根據(jù)學生的認知規(guī)律，我們設(shè)計了三個句子為一組，分別體現(xiàn)which----at/ in /on which----when; which----in which----where; which----for which----why 的演變過程。接下來進行有針對性的練習操練，練習的設(shè)計也是從易到難循序漸進，先是連線題，再是補充定語從句部分，最后的練習是用定語從句把兩個單句組成一句話，讓學生的學習能力階梯式的加強。學習的最終目的是輸出，也是應用于交際中，所以本課時的最后給學生設(shè)計了一個輸出的任務(wù)--四人一組活動，應用定語從句，談?wù)勀闵钪械奈寮∠笞钌羁痰氖虑�，人物，地點，時間等。這個活動貼近學生的生活實際，內(nèi)容豐富，讓學生有話可講。作業(yè)布置：1.把最后一個活動再繼續(xù)深化，編為一篇短文。2. 完成課本里大量豐富的相關(guān)練習，此時是學生鞏固的最好機會。
第五課時是寫作課，響應新課程對寫作的重視，我們特別在本學期強調(diào)了寫作的教學。在本課時中，首先通過對上一堂課作業(yè)--定語從句短文的展示，既檢查了作業(yè)，又鞏固了語法，也過渡到人物寫作這個中心話題。整堂課是按照作文的組成部分為線索展開的，先是關(guān)注寫作里詞匯的處理，注重選詞對文章的印象，在這里我們充分利用了練習冊第70頁的這篇文章填空，在兩個相似詞匯之間的選擇，讓學生明白了措辭的重要性。之后，讓學生回答在本單元習得的有用詞匯，通過71頁的翻譯句子運用這些剛學的新詞匯。如果說詞匯是文章的血肉，那么結(jié)構(gòu)與提綱就是骨架�；氐�70頁的這篇數(shù)學家的介紹，通過師生問答，讓學生歸納出這篇文章的提綱，然后給學生機會嘗試寫一個介紹曼德拉的提綱。因本單元中出現(xiàn)信的寫作，為了把書本與練習冊兩個寫作結(jié)合起來，我們設(shè)計了如下的任務(wù)：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? 這樣學生既實際練習了寫信，也學會怎么介紹與描述一個人。最終我們期望學生能把新學的詞匯、句型與語法運用到作文里面，把整個單元的學習很好地加以輸出。
補充：考慮到每個學校每個班級教學與學生的差異，我們沒有對語言點進行單獨備課，但是給大家準備了 “Language supermarket”，里面資料詳盡，供各位老師根據(jù)教學實際情況自由選擇。

Teaching goals
1. 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?
附板書設(shè)計：（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. (Copy the sentence on the blackboard)
Q2: Where was the school you studied?
S2:The school where I studied only two years was three kilometers away.
Q3: When was the day Nelson Mandela told you what to do and helped you?
S3: The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life.
Q4: Where were the parts you blacks lived?
S4: The parts of town where we lived were the places decided by white people.
The time when you first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of your life.
The school where i studied only two years was three kilometers away.
The day when Nelson Mandela told me what to do and helped me was one of the happiest days of my life.
The parts of town where we lived were the places decided by white people.
Step 2 Grammar review
T: Now please look at these sentences. 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.
3. They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.
4. 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.(由先行詞的習慣搭配決定)
at the speed of
2. This is the teacher from whom I borrow the book. (borrow from)（動詞詞組）
3. Don’t bring the children to see the animals of which they are afraid. (be afraid of)
關(guān)系代詞whom, which前介詞的選擇由先行詞的習慣搭配或后半句動詞的搭配而決定。
Ex3
關(guān)系副詞：when, where, why.
關(guān)系副詞可代替的先行詞是時間，地點或理由的名詞，在從句中作狀語，相當于“介詞+which”結(jié)構(gòu)，經(jīng)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.
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. This was the time when the harvest failed three years in a row, and everyone was cold and hungry.
4. It was the year when the electricity failed and everybody had to cook their dinner by candlelight.
5. I went back to the town which I left when I was five years old, so I could see the house where I used to live.
6. He will never forget the park where he first met his wife.
EX3: Join two simple sentences to make a complex sentence with an attributive clause.
T: Just now, we used the words when, why, where, which, who to fill in the blankets. Now would you combine the two sentences by using the attributive clause?

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. Would you write a passage about Nelson Mandela according to what we have discussed?
(Leave 5minutes for Ss to draw an outline and collect more information in the whole unit)
Step4. Writing
T: Have you finished? 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?
Before we begin, here are two questions:
1. Do you still remember the format of a letter?
2. How can you persuade people or judges to follow your advice?
(Get the Ss into discussion)
T: Here some proper tips for you:
Step1. Collect your ideas for the letters. Write them down in any order. Then sort them out into an order which seems good to you. For example: time order, we can have a reference on Page39.
Step2. Begin the letter with your address and the date.

Lyrics of Hero
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Lord knows...
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you...
That a hero lies in you...
1.Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela's biography is set out in the Student's Book up to the date he went to prison on Robben Island．The rest of his biography is included below:
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 b
