Step I Homework checking T: Let's check our homework each other. Ask the students to have a dictation of the sentences including attributive clauses learned in the first period. Step II Reading Task (P44) T: Since cultural relics are important and useful，it's necessary for everyone to protect them. After all, they belong to the whole world. So today, we'll read a passage that is about a common person who saves the cultural relics--BIG FENG TO THE RESCUE. Read the passage for the first time and answer why Big Feng wants to save cultural relics. While the students are reading, the teacher walks around the classroom and try to collect the answer of the students. Then, the teacher checks the answer. Suggested answer Big Feng and his friends offer each other help whoever needs helps. so Feng believes that his work to save cultural relics is a way to thank his many friends. T: Now listen to the tape and answer how he saves the cultural relics of his homeyown. While the students listen to the tape, the teacher should ask them to write the key words that are useful for then to answer the question. Later the teacher gives the answer with a slide projectors. Suggested answer In order to protect the cultural relics of his hometown, he goes out and does a lot of things as possible as he can. One of his biggest projects was to protect the oldest street in Tianjin. Another project was more successful: he got the government to buy some land in the center of the city so it could not be sold to businesses. Not long ago, he and other writers and artists took photos of the old parts of Tianjin. And the photos were put into an expensive book that was very popular. And the money from the book helps his projects. T: Read the pas sage again carefully and answer the following questions:

1) What does "a big heart" mean？In which ways does Feng Jicai show that he has a big heart?

2) Why does he think it is more important to do this than to write his novels? 3) It is very time-consuming（耗时的）and expensive for Feng Jicai to take care of cultural relics. Can you think of some other ways to help him with his projects? First, the students discuss the three questions by themselves. Later, the teacher gives the answers, using a slide projector. Suggested answers 1) That he has a big heart means that he is very kind. You might say

he is a gentle giant. His real name is Feng Jicai, and he has written many novels about life in China. Several years ago, he put down his pen and began to protect cultural relics in Tianjin, where he lives. 2) He knows the past is not only for us to enjoy but also for the children of the future, so we should protect some old things such as the old streets and buildings. And more people follow what he does, not what he says. So he thinks it is important to do this than to write his novels. 3) Yes, I think there are some other ways to help him with his projects. For example, he and his friends can make a video about the old streets and buildings and broadcast this program on TV so that more people can know the importance of protecting the cultural relics and really take efficient actions to protect them. T: Who can list other famous cultural relics in China besides the ones mentioned in the reading? .Suggested answers There are many cultural relics in China besides the ones mentioned in the reading, such as The Summer Palace, the Forbidden Citv, the West Lake and so on. Step Ⅳ

( Writing task (P46-47) 找教案

http://www.zhaojiaoan.com T: Although there are tens of thousands of cultural relics in China that need to be protected, just choose one cultural relic in your hometown that your think is worth saving. Write a letter to all the students of your school to encourage them to help save the cultural relic. You can use the following model on page 46 as a guide. First, the students check their answers each other. Later, the teacher gives the answers, using a slide projector. T: Please look at page47 and finish the project “the following steps:

1) Get together with three of your classmates and share your letters from the Writing task with one another. Read each letter aloud.

2) Now take the best ideas from each letter and make an even better plan to protect a cultural relic in your hometown. Explain your reasons.

3) Organize your plan step by step to get more and more students to join the project.

4) Prepare a short speech and have one member of your group tell your classmates so that we can protect it well. Possible answer（I) Dear Classmates,

As young people, we don't always want to think about the past. Yet we often hear our grandfathers and grandmothers talk about cultural relics. They say we must protect some of these relics because they can remind us of the past and they are very important and useful. They also say that these relics are important to us because they stand for the special culture o China. I'm sure you will agree. After all, someday we will be older ourselves and will want our own children to protect them. So I have a plan for saving the Longquan Tower, which is a fine cultural relic here in our hometown. It can be found at the northeast corner in Tengzhou. It should be saved because it has been greatly destroyed by winds and rains. My plan is to paint it again and then rebuild some parts of it. We can also turn to the government for help. Later, when others begin to offer their help, perhaps we can rebuild the whole tower so that it will be safer. If you like my plan, please give a note to your teacher. Thank you.

Dear Classmates,

As young people, we don't always want to think about he past. Yet we often hear our grandfathers and grandmothers talk about cultural relics. They say we must protect some of these relics because they represent what happened in the past in the world that we live in. They also say that these relics are important to us because we can use them to develop tourism and make a lot money. I'm sure you will agree. After all, someday we will be older ourselves and will want our own children to protect them. So I have a plan for saving the Longquan Tower, which is a fine cultural relic here in our hometown. It can be found at the northeast corner in Tengzhou. It

should be saved because it has been old and some parts of it are very dangerous for people to climb is My plan is to rebuild a new one following the present old tower and then protect the old one and just let people watch it and not climb it. We can also hope that all the people in this city can take actions. Later, when others begin to offer their help, perhaps we can have a new and safer Longquan Tower at that time. If you like my plan, please give a note to your teacher. Thank you.

Your friend,

Tom Possible answer (m) Dear Classmates,

As young people, we don't always want to think about the past. Yet we often hear our grandfathers and grandmothers talk about cultural relics. They say we must protect some of these relics because they are part of our culture. They also say that these relics are important to us because they help us to learn the history and culture of our country . I'm sure you will agree. After all, someday we will be older ourselves and will want our own children to protect them. So I have a plan for saving the Lonquan Tower, which is a fine cultural relic here in our hometown. It can be found at the northeast corner in Tengzhou. It should be saved because it has been destroyed by some people who visited it and wrote something on it. My plan is to repair some parts that have been destroyed and then paint them again. We can also ask the people who will visit the tower not to write anything on the walls of the tower. Later, when others begin to offer their help, perhaps we can improve people's sense of protecting cultural relics. If you like my plan, please give a note to your teacher. Thank you.
