Task-based method IV

Teaching aids

A computer connected with the Internet, a projector. V

Teaching procedures

Step 1

Warming Up 1

Show some pictures of Chinese cultural relics and ask. T: Do you know what these things are? S: Chinese cultural relics / Cultural relics. T: What is a cultural relic? S: A cultural relic is something that has survived for a long time, often a part of something old that has remained when the rest of it has been destroyed; it tells people about the past. T: What are these? S: Vases. T: Do you know when they were made? S: ···

T: Ming Dynasty. They are very rare Ming Dynasty vases. 2

Connect with the Internet to see some more pictures of Ming Dynasty vases. 3

Present the situation in Warming Up to get the students thinking and talking about hard choice and how to make them. In this way we can get the students to role-play a conversation with the question: What will you say to him? Allow the students a few minutes to prepare the task. Sample dialogue: YOU: Hello, I am here to see Mr Zhang Ri. Are you Zhang Ri? MAN: Yes, I am. YOU: My name is Hu Yuan. I’m from the Office for Cultural Relics. MAN: Oh, is there some problem? YOU: Perhaps. I understand that you have an old Ming Dynasty vase.

MAN: Yes, I do but it’s not mine. Er – it belongs to my family. YOU: Hmm. May I have a look at it? MAN: Why, yes, of course. Please come in. Right this way. Here it is. YOU: It’s quite beautiful. MAN: Yes, it is, isn’t it? It’s been with our family for a long time. YOU: Mr Zhang, I’m sorry to tell you this but I’m quite certain this is a cultural relic. MAN: Oh, how can you be sure? YOU: It is just like the one described in a report I got. MAN: What report? YOU: A report about a relic that is missing from a museum. MAN: I haven’t heard about that. YOU: Perhaps not. You say this relic has been in your family a long time? MAN: Well, actually, one of my cousins gave it to us. YOU: When was that? MAN: Last year around the time of Mid-Autumn Festival. YOU: I’m sorry to say this but I believe this is the relic the museum has lost. Step 2

Pre-reading In this part the students are required to further give free rein to their imaginations to discuss what they would do with a cultural relic but without the limitations of a specific situation on the knowledge they have got from the previous activity. Sample dialogue: T: If you found a cultural relic, what would you do with it? S1: I don’t know. T: Would you want to keep it? S1: Of course not. It doesn’t belong to me. T: Then why don’t you go to your community council? S1: I’m not sure I could trust the people there. What

if the person I give it to keep it for himself? T: Good question. What do the rest of you think? S2: I guess I would ask my parents what to do with it. T: That’s a good idea. Anyone else have an idea? S3: I would ask my brother. He is a policeman. T: OK. Another good suggestion, but what if the others don’t have a brother who is a policeman? S3: Oh, right. Well, I would talk to someone in our city government. ······(The solution to the problem may be quite different because of individual) Step 3

Leading-in to amber In this part we will specially introduce some knowledge of amber and enable the students to get some perceptual knowledge about the Amber Room just by showing some pictures it. Ask questions while showing the pictures:



Have you ever heard of amber? 

What is amber? (Play a short video for the students to watch how amber forms.) 

Have you ever seen anything made of amber? 

Can you imagine what a room made of amber looks like? Step 4

T: Hello, everyone! It’s time for our daily report. I have given you the topic of this week, which is something about cultural relics at home and abroad. S1, it’s your turn. Welcome, I know that you are one of the best speakers in our class. What will you tell us? S1: It’s about the Great Wall of China. T: Oh, really?

My friends, let’s listen to her carefully. S1: At first I have to say, I feel so proud of the Great Wall in our country that I searched the library for information about it. The Reat Wall of China is called the “Wan Li Chang Cheng” in Chinese. In fact, it’s more than 6000 kilometers long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world. The Great Wall has a history of over 20000 years. Parts of it were built through different dynasties. Tt was during the Qin Dynasty that the parts were joined up into one long wall. The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch, Fires were lit in the towers as a warnig when the enemy came. It was difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died of cold and hunger when they were forced to work on the wall. Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest to the Chinese people and people from all over the world. That’s all. Do you enjoy it? T: Of course, we do. Thank you for your wonderful speech. I think that all of the Chinese take pride in the Great Wall.

Step II Discovering useful words and expressions: T: Well, we’ve learned so much about the cultural relics, especially about the Amber Room and the Great Wall. Now let me see if you can find the words in the text with the help of the meanings. Please turn to page 3. (Students do the exersice. 4 minutes later.) T: OK, time is up. Who’d like to write the words on the blackboard? Any volunteers? (4 students come to the blackboard to write the words) T: All right, thank the four of you. Let’s see who did the best? S2, you did the best. Can you tell us how you can find all of them so quickly and correctly? S2: Well, I think if you can understand the text well, you can do it well. And of course, you have to be careful. T: Right, you are always hardworking. In my opinion, you have to read the meaning carefully at first, then decide the part of the speech of the word, for example, is it a noun, a pronoun or a verb?

Then you have to read the text and try to understand it. At last, you may find them in the text. Do you think so? S2: Yes. T: Everyone, as you know, an English word can have many different meanings when used in different places. What do you think is the most important thing for us to do such kind of exercise? Now let’s look at page 3, exercise 2. (Students do it. One minute later.) T: Now, who can tell me what is the most important thing? Ss: Understanding! T: Yes, so you know understanding is the most important thing for us to learn English. Now let’s do some other things about at phrase. You may discuss in pairs. (Students do it) T: Well, let’s have a check. (2 minutes for checking the answer) Step III Discovering useful structures: T: Well, please look at the slide. Do you think the casket beautiful? Ss: Yes, very beautiful. T: But I’m so sorry to say that the article in it was lost. Do you know what it was?I’d like you to guess using the structure “Is it something that ……?”

S3: Is it something that your husband gave you? S4: Is it something that you were rewarded from your mother? S5: Is it something that you bought for your daughter? (Teacher write the sentences down on the blackboard.) T: Very good, you used very good sentences. I felt so sorry for the thing I lost. It meant much to me. Please look at one page of my diary. (Teacher shows the slides to the whole class.) T: So, you see, it was a rare jade stone. Can you tell the difference between the two groups of attributive clause? You may discuss with your partner. T: All right. Who can tell me the difference between them? S6: In my opinion, the sentences in the second group aren’t used to modify the jade stone, but used to give us more information about it. T: Excellent, you struke the right note! This is the difference between restrictive attributive clause and non-restrictive attributive clause. Now lets try to find all the attributive clauses from the text and understand the meaning of them. (Students do that.) T: You please tell your partner how you understand those sentenses that you found in your text. Step IV. Practice T: Now we’ll see how we can combine the sentences together on P4. I’ll invite some of you to say

them out one by one. S7: Here are the farmers who discovered the underground city last month. S8: Xi’an is one of the few cities in which walls remain as good as before. S9: Shaanxi Province is a place where relics are well looked after. S10: The woman remembered the day when she saw Nazis burying something near her home. S11: The old man you are talking to saw some Germans taking apart the Amber Room and moving it away. T: Well done. Then we’ll have some more practice. This time, please pay special attention to when we should use restrictive attributive clause or non-restrictive attributive clause. Then I’ll ask some of you to report your sentence to the whole class. (Students practise them.) T: OK. Time is up. Who’d like to tell me your sentences? S12: St Petersburg is a very beautiful city, which was once called Leningrad, is a very beautiful city. S13: In Xi’an, I met a teacher who has a strong live for cultural relics and who took me to visit the history museum. S14: I don’t remember the soldier who told me not to tell anyone what I had seen. S15: People didn’t pay as much attention to cultural relics in the old days, when my grandfather was a child. S16: They moved the boxes to a mine, where they wanted to hide them. T: Good. Now we’ll have a group discussion. Suppose you are some of the designers of an amber jewelry. How can you design a jade stone with an amber stone in the center of it? Please use the non-restrictive attrubutive clauses when necessary. Xi’an, I met a teacher who has a strong love for cultural relics and who took me to visit the history museum.

Ghjkl;

(Students discuss for 6 minutes) T: All right. It’s time for me to collect your ideas.

S17: If I were the designer, I would choose the style in the middle, which reminds me of Jesus all the time. S18: I want to use the one on the bottom left corner, which seems luxurious.

S19: I’d like to choose the smallest one, which is so tiny and light to carry. S20: I feel like choosing the triangle one, which meets my taste. S21: I want to use the one in the shape of ellipse, which I think is classical and graceful. T: Well, it seems that there are so many wonderful designers in our class.

Step V Homework

T: Today we’ve learned so much about the restrictive attributive clause and non-restrictive attributive clause. Please go over what you have learned today and use as many attributive clauses as you can. Today’s homework:

Group discussion IV. 教学准备(teaching aids) A recorder, a computer and a projector V. 教学步骤(teaching procedure) Step I. Lead in T: Hello, class! Today let’s find something interesting in our daily life. At first, can you remember something in the text: “But some of the Nazis secretly stole the Amber Room itself. In less than two days, 100,000 pieces of the room were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.”? Why can we say that the Nazis stole the Amber room and sent some of it to their country? S1: Perhaps that’s because somebody saw they did so. S2: Because the Room was so wonderful that they wanted to get it and then they would become rich on it. T: Perhaps you are right. Well, the person who saw them do so is the most important, I think. We

call such kind of person witness. But how can we decide that the witness is telling the truth? Well, let’s have a look at some pictures. In Picture a, the man in suit is saying: “I see you’re aiding the terrorists”. But the other man is answering: “Dissent”, which means that he disagrees with what the man was saying. Why? Then, let’s say something about Picture b. The title of the pictures is: “People have been led to believe that Iraq caused 9/11”. Why is it so?

Step II Introduce “evidence & opinion”

T: Now let’s read two jokes. Then I’ll ask you questions. The first one is from Belgium. A man in Belgium was arrested because police suspected that he had robbed a jewelry store. The man swore he did not do it. When the police asked if he had an alibi, he explained that he had been busy breaking into a school at the same time, Police dropped the jewelry store charges and instead arrested him for breaking into the school. Then the second: A man and his girlfriend were robbing a convenience stor. While waiting for her boyfriend to finish getting the money, the woman noticed a contest entry form. Thinking it would be cool to win, she filled out the form; complete with her name, address, and phone number, A few hours later the police were at the couple’s house to arrest them. Do you know why the police arrested the persons? S3: Let me have a try. I think the persons in the jokes are so stupid. They told the police what they did and left a lot of information about themselves to the police. T: Very good, thank you, S3. In other words, the police got some evidences easily from them. So, what is the evidence? Please turn to P5 and listen to the tape. Then, I’ll ask “what is an evidence and what is a fact”. (Play the tape recorder) T: Well, who’d like to tell me what evidence is? S4: Evidence is a fact, which can be proved. S5: An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. T: In your opinion, which is more important for the judge in a trial? S6: I think the evidence is because it is the fact. Step III Listening T: Do you still remember that at the beginning of this period, we mentioned the German soldiers stole some of the Amber Room? Now listen to the tape and write down as much information as you can to finish the form on P5. At first, read the three forms carefully. When I play the first time, please get the main idea of it. Then try to write something down. Name Place What he heard What he saw What he did Jan Hasek Czezh Republic Job Time Something exploded He saw some German soldiers putting boxes in the mine. All the holes in the mines were filled Nothing A miner 1945, now

What he believes

The Amber Room and some gold are buried in the mine. Anna Petrov A maid Job A castle in Konigsberg Time 1941-1945 Name Place What he heard She heard about the Nazis stealing many treasures from Russia and that something exploded at the end of August 1944. What he saw What he did What he believes

Name Place What he heard What he saw What he did What he believes Many trucks came to the castle one night before Christmas in 1941. She saw fires from the castle one night in August 1944. Nothing The pieces of the Amber Room were burnt during the war. Hans Braun The Baltic Sea Job Time A sailor 1945 He was told to help some soldiers put big wooden boxes with treasures onto a ship. He was also told that a group of people is searching for the ship now. A Russian submarine sank the ship. He had to swim three kilometers until a German boat saved him.

Those wooden boxes must be buried in the sand. Step IV Discuss T: Now, you’ve got so much information about the trial. In fact, the best evidence is factual and is given by a person who is most believable. The most believable eyewitness is the one who has nothing to gain from telling a lie. Do you think so, students? Ss: Yes. T: OK, now suppose that you were one of judges. Which eyewitness was giving the best evidence? Why do you say so? You may have a group discussion. While you are discussing, please use the following sentences: 15

Are you sure he / she was telling the truth? How do you know that? 16

How can you be sure he / she was telling the truth? 17

Why / why not? 18

I (don’t) believe. Because…. 19

I (don’t) agree with you.

I (don’t) agree that …. 20

It can be proved. 21

The truth is (not) easy to know. 22

I think they have said useful things. 23

… has no reason to lie. (Students discuss for 6 minutes) T: Now, it’s time for you to present your views. Which group likes to try at first?

S7:I think that all of them were giving us something useful because all of them seemed true to me. I’m puzzled. S8: I think the miner was giving the best evidence because he was working there and he was familiar with the surroundings there and he could see what the Nazis were doing very clearly. S9: I think the sailor was giving the best evidence because he helped with the boxes and he was even saved by the German soldier. T: Do you agree with them? Well, let’s see, yes, of course, the truth is not easy to know now, especially when all the facts are not known. Most of these events also happened a long time age. Perhaps people cannot remember things so clearly either, I think that all of these eyewitnesses have said useful things. However, only Anna Petrov has no reason to lie. She is not getting anything from those who are searching now for the Amber Room. So in my opinion, she is the most believable. Do you think so? Step V Homework T: Today we’ve learned so much about evidence and opinions. If you want to be a lawyer or a judge, today’s knowledge must be helpful to you. OK, today’s homework, Reading and writing on P7. 课后反思：

II．教学重难点(Teaching important points) Help the students how to catch the key words and grasp the ways of writing a plan on saving the cultural relics. III．教学方法(Teaching method) Listening, reading and writing IV. 教学准备(teaching aids) A tape recorder, a computer and a projector V. 教学步骤(teaching procedure) Step I Listening T: As we know, a developing country builds a big dam to provide electricity for its people and

control a great river. Unless something is done, a cultural relic will be list. The government must decide whether or not to save the relic.Do you know what dam and river I’m talking abut? Please look at the picture. Do you know it? Ss: Sorry, we are not familiar with it. T: OK. After listening, you are sure to know that. At first time, try to get the main idea. At second time, try to finish the exercise and you may compares notes with your partner, at the last time, check them by yourselves. (Listen to the tape) T: Now, I’ll ask some of you to give me your answer. S1: The dam was built to stop floods on the Nile River and to give people more electricity. S2. The water in the lake behind the dam rose. 53,000 people had to move and some temples were in danger. S3: False.

T: You are right because it is one of the world’s largest. When completed, the Three Gorges Dam will be the world’s largest. S4: The dam would put it unger water. S5: The engineers needed to find a way to move the relic to safety. S6: I chose No 3. The listening text only says that visitors are glad to see it. T: How about qustion No7? S7: I think it is part of history and it can tell us about how people lived in the past. S8: In my opinion, we have no right to destrou what our ancestors have created. S9: I think we can build a museum to protect our cultural relics. Step II Reading T: You know, Egypt is not the only country that has such a question. Since cultural relics are important and useful, it’s necessary for everyone to protect them. After all, they belong to the whole world. Now let’s read a passage about a common person who saves the cultural relics. Read the passage for the first time and answer why Big Feng wants to save cultural recics. (Students read the passage) T: I’d like to invite some students to answer the questions. S10: A person with “a big heart” means a person who is very kind to others. Feng Jicai shows this when he searched for his friends during the Tangshan earthquake to make sure they are safe. S11: He asks the local government to protect things of cultural interest. He works very hard to save all the old buildings of his hometown, Tianjin. S12: His first project was to save the oldest commercial street in Tianjin. S13: He saved the oldedst building but the street was rebuilt. S14: He thinks more people follow what he does than what he says. T: Very good. Now how about Question No 6? S15: To put up posters announcing his latest campaign. S16: To make speeches that support Feng Jicai. S18: To go with him when he approaches the local government. Step III Talking T: Now, let’s enjoy some pictures in Beijing as well as some descriptons.

T: What do you think of these hutongs in Beijing? S19: They look old and dirty, which is not fit for the heart our country. S20: They can remind us of the past, which seems warm to the Beijingers. S21: They are so close to each other, which is dangerous when there is a big fire in one house. S22: And it’s easy for the thieves to climb from one house to the other. S23: It’s not easy to drive through them, which is not good for the modern transportation. T: OK. Yes, it’s really a big problem. Beijing is developing so fast that in fact, it is a completely new city. If it is turning to a nondescript city like any other modern city in the world, do you think it a great pity? Ss: Yes, I think so. Step IV Writing T: Speaking of the hutongs, there are so much for us to talk about. The destruction of the old is not a must indeed. Some of it should, and can be preserved. I believe there was a debate among the top leaders and city planners on whether or not to preserve them. Now, let’s try to write a letter to the city planners and tell them what you think. At first, please finish the writing task

on P46, which will be helpful to you while you are writing. (Students write) T: Well, all of you did a good job. Your plans are wonderful. I hope the city planners in Beijing will accept some of your ideas and make your plans realised. Now, listen to today’s homework. Step V
