T: From the reading, we have learned some facts about the Amber Room and we know that the new Amber Room is the rebuilt one. Till today, many people still hunting the lost one, which is still a mystery. Where is it now? How did it disappear? Does anyone know this mystery? Is there any eyewitness? This class, we will learn several stories about what happened to the Amber Room.( show PPT 1 )

T: When in a court, a judge will hear different people say different things. He must decide who is believable and who is not. How can he decide? ( PPT 2 )

Stimulate the students to say “He should make a decision based on facts rather than opinions.”

Step 2 Reading Task 1: read the first passage quickly to answer the following questions:

1. What is a fact?

3. What is an evidence? ( PPT 4 ) After the students understand, the teacher sums up the verbal clues to identify a fact and an opinion. ( PPT 5,6 ) Task 2: Do a few exercises. ( PPT 7,8 )

Task 3: Reading and speaking: Have the Ss to read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly. And ask : Do you think it is a fact or an opinion? Give your reasons.( PPT 9,10 ) (Students may say like this:I think it is an opinion that what is in boxes is gold or the Amber Room. Because Jan Hasek did not see what was in the boxes. He listened to other people’s ideas of what might have been inside. So his evidence is an opinion.) Task 4: Read the story again and fill in the table.( PPT 11 )

Hello, I’m Hans Braun, an old German sailor. During the war my ship was at Konigsberg. One night I was told to help our soldiers put some big wooden boxes onto my ship. They were very heavy and the soldiers said they were full of treasure.

On our voyage, our ship was attacked and sank. Almost everyone died. I had to swim three kilometers before I was saved by a German ship. Nobody had time to save the boxes. They must still be buried in the sand. Now a group of people who are searching for the Amber Room have asked me to help them find the ship. Part B: Anna Petrov’s story

The German soldiers took the boxes into the castle. Later we heard that a special art treasure in the castle was shown to important visitors. Perhaps it was the Amber Room but I never saw it. Then at the end of August,1944, I heard something explode. When I looked outside I saw that the castle was on fire.

The next morning I found some melted pieces of something that looked like honey. Russian soldiers later told me it was amber and it could have come from the Amber Room.
