Step 2 Lead-in Question: If you want to go in for law against somebody, and if you want to win, what’s the most important thing you should do first? Ask one or two students’ opinion and express my suggestion: to collect as much the evidences as we can. Because not all the evidences can be uesd in a trial. Some are true while some are false. Then, stimulate the students to read the first passage carefully to get the definition of the fact, the opinion, and the evidence.

Task 1

Read the passage and think about the differences between a fact and an opinion. (ppt 4)

A fact is anything that can be proved. An opinion is what someone believe is true but has not been proved. According to the passage, please answer the question: What makes a judge decide which eyewitness he can believe and which not? Whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be the fact rather than the opinion. Have known the differences between a fact and an opinion. Let’s come to next task.

Task 2

Read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly. Do you think it is a fact or an opinion? Give your reasons. (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 3 Read the story again and fill in the table. (On Page 5)
