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 , 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.

Objectives

■

To help the students read, listen, speak and write

■

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”?

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

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. 3. Listening and filling the forms

Now, boys and girls, as we know, people have never stopped searching for the Amber Room. This time we’ll listen to what three people say they know about the missing Amber Room. Before we listen to them, I’ll present some related new words to you to help you understand them easily. Please look at the screen and read after me. 4. Speaking and writing We often use some expressions or idioms express feelings and opinions. What are they? Look at the expressions and idioms in the box on page 6

Now discuss which person gave the best evidence. You have to use in your discussion the expressions and idioms learned just now.

And after discussion write a list of reasons for your choice and report your list to the class.

6. Reading and writing Read the letter to the editor on page 7. What is being talked about? What is Johann’s opinion?

7. Closing down by debating

There is a long ancient wall around a less developed town. It is reported

it has a long history . The local government is collecting money to repair and rebuild the wall. It has cost a lot of money. Some of your classmates think it is not worth. Some think it’s a good way to develop the local economy. Now Group 1 and 2 debate against Group 3 and 4.
