教学步骤(teaching procedure) Step 1. 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?

(a)

Step 2 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.(b)

T: What is evidence? S7:Evidence is true information which must be facts rather than opinions.

T:When in a court, a judge will hear different people say different things. He must decide which to believe and which not. How can he decide? (1).A fact or an opinion? 1. A VW Passat can go faster than 100 Kms an hour. 2. I think it’s the best car for a family.

3. I think driving a car is wrong because it causes damage to the environment. 4. I don’t like public transport because it’s so crowed.

5. I know that driving a car spoils the air in Beijing. 6. The Beijing Olympic Games is the best ever. 7. It was very hot when the Beijing Olympic Games were held. 8. More countries than ever before will be coming to take part in the Olympic Games. (2).After the Amber Room was lost, what really happened to it remains a mystery. Many people say what they know about it.

Buried somewhere?

Burnt / destroyed during the war?

Hidden in a place?

Is what sb said a fact or an opinion? Why?

step3. Read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly.

1.Now listen to the tape and write down as much information as you can to finish the form on P5.

A miner Job Time 1945, now Something exploded He saw some German soldiers putting boxes in the mine. All the What he saw holes in the mines were filled What he did Nothing What he believes The Amber Room and some gold are buried in the mine. 2.Read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly.

Name Place What he heard

Do you think it is a fact or an opinion?

Step 4 Listening Now you are going to hear another two people talk about what happened to the Amber Room. 1.

Listen to Part A and write down where the Amber Room was lost. _______ 2.

Listen to Part B and write down how the Amber Room was lost. _______ Listen to Part A and fill the blanks. Jan Hasek Czezh Republic Name Place Anna Petrov A castle in Konigsberg Job Time A maid 1941-1945

She heard about the Nazis stealing many treasures from Russia and What he heard that something exploded at the end of August 1944. Many trucks came to the castle one night before Christmas in 1941. What he saw She saw fires from the castle one night in August 1944. What he did Nothing What he believes The pieces of the Amber Room were burnt during the war. Listen to Part B and fill the blanks

Name Place What he heard What he saw What he did What he believes Step 5 Speaking Hans Braun A sailor Job The Baltic Sea Time 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. 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: What do you think of ...? Do you believe ... ? How can you be sure of ...? How do you know that? I think ... I don't agree that ... I suppose that ... I don't think ...

(Students discuss for 6 minutes) T: Now, it’s time for you to present your views. Which group likes to try at first? ( The students act out their dialogues)

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 6 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,

1.

Search some information about evidence and opinion.2.

2. Prepare for the next class.
