Period 3: A lesson plan for using language

Aims: To learn to tell facts from opinions To write a reply letter To listen and speak about cultural relics I. Warming up Warming up by questions Morning, class. We always say, “We must respect facts and can’t wholly depend on one’s opinions”. But can you tell me: A.

What does it mean when you say, “It is a fact”? B.

What does it mean when you say, “It is an opinion”? Keys for reference:

A.

A fact 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. Warming up by questioning Turn to page 5. Read the passage and tell me: A.

If you want to go in for law against somebody, and if you want to win, what’s the most important thing you should do first? B.

What makes a judge decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. Keys for reference:

A. Searching for facts of course. The more, the better.

B. The evidences offered by the eyewitnesses make the judge decide which one is believable and which is not. II. Guided reading 1.

Reading and defining

Read the passage and define: What is a fact? What is an opinion? What is an evidence? 2. Reading and underlining Next you are to read and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in the part. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework. Collocation from Using Language on page 5 in a trial, rather than, …more than…, to tell the truth, agree with, It can be proved that …, no reason to lie, a reply to a letter, think highly of, search for, return the treasure to, cost them a lot of time and money 3. Listening

Now, boys and girls, 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 book and read after me. explode vt. 爆炸, Czch n. 捷克, mayor n. 市长, melt vt. 熔化, sub (sub marine) n. 潜水艇，水雷, survivor n. 幸存者, Titanic n. 泰坦尼克船

4. Fill in the table below. 5. Reviewing：ask the student to summarize useful expressions.

We often use some expressions to ask for opinions. What are they? a．What do you think of …?

B．Do you believe …?

c．How can you be sure of …?

d．How do you know that? 6. Discussing Please look at exercise 3, and discuss which person gave the best evidence. Use the expressions above to help you. Before we discuss, let’s deal with the following discussion: A.

What is the best evidence? B.

How can we know which eyewitness is most believable?

Keys:

A. The best evidence is factual and is given by a person who is believable. B. The most believable eyewitness is the one who has nothing to gain from telling a lie. Well done. Let’s come to the discussion “Which person gave the best evidence?”

Keys fore reference: Jan Hasek is less believable because he owns a little restaurant near the mine. If the search stopped, his business would suffer. Hans Braun is also less believable because he is working for a company trying to find the ship which carried the treasures in the Baltic sea. Of the three eyewitnesses, only Anna Petrov has no selfish reason for saying what she has said. In particular, she is not involved in any current effort to find the treasure. Therefore she is the most believable. 8. Reading and writing Sometimes we may fall into or face a moral choice. That is a moral dilemma. Let’s read the letter on page 7 and see what’s Johann’s choice and opinion. Ok, finished? Now answer the following questions: A.

What’s Johann’s opinion about the Amber Room? B.

What’s his father’s opinion about the things found by him? C.

What happened to Johann when she was a pupil? Keys: A.

Johann thinks the people who find the Amber Room should keep it for them own. B.

His father thinks as Johann does. C.

She found a little money and kept it to himself.

III. Summing up 1. Write down what you have learned about cultural relics. Review the useful expressions and words.
