Unit 3 Computers Period 3

A sample lesson plan for Using Language (A FACT OR AN OPINION) Introduction Language is learned to be used in and for communication. So in this period we shall have the students read a passage about opinions and evidences first. Then they listen to a tape about the missing Amber Room, taking notes at the same time. Third, students practice speaking based on the listening and making use of the expressions and idioms learned in their speaking. Finally they are to read and reply to a letter about picking and returning things which are not their own. Objectives

■

To help the students read, listen, speak and write about the missing Amber Room ■

To help students read and reply to a letter to the editor Procedures 1. Warming up by talking about “evidence and opinion”

Morning, class. We always say, “We must respect evidences and can’t wholly depend on one’s opinions”. But can you tell me:

A.

What does it mean when you say, “It is evidence”?

B.

What does it mean when you say, “It is an opinion”?

A.

An evidence must be real, objective and without any personal judgment. So it can be proved.

B. An option always expresses one’s own ideas. It is always subjunctive. So it has not been proved. 2. Reading and underlining Next you are to read the text on page 5 and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the part. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.
