Task1Write a paragraph about an object in a formal style.

When you have finished, exchange your writing with your partner and help each other by making useful suggestions on content, grammar, spelling and punctuation. Sample description for guidebook 1 Special bronze tree

It is 395 cm high with some branches on the tree. There are three kinds of fruit on each branch. One of the fruit is a peach. The tree may have had a religious meaning and is connected with the sky and the earth. 2 Bronze mask

This is a man-face mask with two eyes, two ears and hair. It fits over an adult face. You can see the teeth and they look as if the man was smiling. The eyebrows grow into the hair. The nose is very flat. This mask may have represented a god so that the person who wore it would have acted the role of the god. 3. Bronze bird

This is a very realistic and lively bronze statue of a bird. Its wing is not realistic but shows some feathers pointing to the sky. It represented the idea that all animals have spirits and birds were especially important. It may have been used for religious purposes. 4 Clay pot

This clay pot was found with the bronze objects already described. It rests on three thick legs which makes it very sturdy. It has a long straight body ending in a dome at the top of the lid. There is also an open mouth-like part to pour the liquid in or out. The handle reaches from below the open hole to the beginning of the three think legs.

It could have been used to hold and pour wine or other liquid. It is elegant enough to be used by rich people at parties. The owners of this object clearly wanted a functional jug but one that had style and elegance. They were clearly people with artistic taste. It must have come from an old but sophisticated civilization. What can we learn from these objects? 1.

them. 3.

They were also able to make objects for decoration which suggests that they had a developed culture. We can learn that the people at Sanxingdui could make They could use it extremely skillfully to make very special bronze. objects that looked like many of the things the people saw around

4.

They may have used these objects for religious purpose. If so, they may have thought that natural objects contained spirits that could influence the life of the Sanxingdui people. A sample version: The first picture is Bronze Sacred Tree. The whole height of the sacred tree is 395 cm. There are three kinds of fruit on every branch, including peaches. The sacred tree in Sanxingdui symbolizes Fishing and Room, which is considered to be connected with the Heaven and the Earth. The second one is Bronze Animal-face Image and the third one is a bird-shaped ornament. The faces are almost the same: all with sword-shaped eyebrows, chestnut eyes, towering noses and open mouths; but the hairstyles are different from each other. Some busts are bald, while others wear a crown; some have hair coiled up and some wear hair clasps; but all are lively. So many bonzes are sure to be a collection of worshiped images, representing people of imperial of leaking groups. They reflect the character of the ancient Shun society in which gods and humans are considered to be connected with each other, and also politics and relation. The bonze animal sculptures of dragons, snakes, biers, chicks, are vivid. They reflect the ancient Shun people’s ideology that all things have spirits and show their sincerity to gods. Among them, the sincerity to birds is the core. Biers, such as Cinching, You, Day, etc, are the names of several ancient Shun dynasties. Biers are regarded as the symbol of the sun. The last one is a pottery pot, which is 579×924, 170Kb. It is used to contain water or wine. Step4.Summing &chewing,

summarizing knowledge（总结反刍

，知识梳理）

Step 3. Ask the Ss to finish the writing task.. Task2. Writing task (on page 85)

Now turn to page 85 and look at the pictures and questions below them. First discuss these questions below the pictures.

Three minutes later, check the discussion. S1: The order should be BAC. S2: The earliest pyramid is B, which is called step pyramid. It was built during the Third Dynasty (2800 B.C.). Step pyramid is generally considered the first tomb in Egypt to be built entirely of stone anywhere in the world. S3: The second is A. It was built in about 2,550 B.C., King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza. According to archaeologists, the top of the Khufu pyramid is in a way ripped off, which is in common with the first picture. Then the third one is the third picture. It is called bent pyramid, which was built for Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. The bent pyramid at Dahshur shows us that the ancient Egyptians experimented a lot with the slope of the pyramids. In the middle of construction the builders must have decided that the slope of

the building was too steep to continue. Thus, the top half of the pyramid has a different slope. S4: The pyramid had sloping sides so that the dead pharaoh could climb to the sky and live forever.

S5: The pyramid represented the rays of the sun.

Now you can write two paragraphs giving your ideas and your opinions as the information tells you to do. Several minutes later, let some students read their writings.

sample writing:

I think the chronological order of bulling the pyramids is B-A-C. The earliest pyramid is B, which is called step pyramid. It was built during the Third Dynasty (2800 B.C.). Step pyramid is generally considered the first tomb in Egypt to be built entirely of stone. The second is A. It was built about 2,550 B.C., King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza. Then the third one is C. It is called bent pyramid, which was built for Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. The bent pyramid at Dahshur shows us that the ancient Egyptians experimented a lot with the slope of the pyramids. In the middle of construction the builders must have decided that the slope of the building was too steep to continue. Thus, the top half of the pyramid has a different slope.

All the three pyramids come to a point at the top. As its name suggests, step pyramid is a series of six levels of stone decreasing in size as they ascend to about 200 feet (60 meters) in height. Egyptologists have developed many theories about why the tombs of the early pharaohs were built in the pyramid shape. Variable reasons are possible: the pyramid represented the first land to appear at the beginning of time — a hill called Ben-Ben，ｔhe pyramid had sloping sides so that the dead pharaoh could symbolically climb to the sky and live forever ａｎｄ

ｔhe pyramid represented the rays of the sun.
