Teaching procedures & ways

Step I Warming up Task one: Know the heroes T: Look at the three photos and tell me who they are. ( The one in the first picture is the president of Abraham Lincoln. The second one is the famous black leader Martin Luther King, Jr. The third one is Paul Robeson. He is a writer.)

Task two: Know their contributions T: These three people are famous political leaders who devoted themselves to the liberty of the American black people. Work in pairs and tell me their separate contributions to this career. (Lincoln is a famous American president, who declared to set free the black slaves free as equal citizens of the USA. But his decision caused strong opposition from the white people in the southern states, especially those owners of plantations. Later he was murdered by an extremist. Martin is a famous black leader during the Civil Rights Movement. He led non-violent marches and demonstrations in struggle for equality between black people and white people. His famous speech—— I Have A Dream inspired a lot of people. Paul Robeson is a black writer, artist and political leader. He set up several magazines to call on black people to struggle for better treatment and equal rights during the Civil Rights Movement.)

Step II

Pre-reading Task one: Brainstorm background information 1.

What happened in picture one? 2.

Picture two was the poor area where most black people lived. What kind of condition did they live in? 3.

From picture three we can see a sign "White Waiting Room", why was there such a Sign?

4.

What conclusions can you draw from these three pictures?

Task two: Find the facts Look at the facts below and find out what were the restrictions that the black people suffered before the Civil Rights Movement?

Task three: "Experience" the poor life of black people If you were a black young student, you would have to go to a far-away school for schooling. On your way from and to school you would often be bullied by the white students. How would you feel if you suffered such unfair treatment?

Step III

While-reading Task one:

Predict the content according to the title In China, it is said: "where there is oppression, there is rebellion." The black people suffered such unfair treatment. They had to fight for equality. There came a revolution. Please look at the title of the reading The Start of The Civil Rights Movement and guess who started the Civil Rights Movement. What was the Civil Rights Movement about?

Task two: Skim for main idea Read the passage quickly and try to find information to answer the questions. Questions:

1. What incident started the opening of Montgomery Bus Boycott? 2. What was the first day of boycott like? 3. What difficulties did the boycott meet with? 4. What was the symbol to show the success of Montgomery Bus Boycott?

Task three: Survey Read this passage again carefully and answer the questions (Ex. 1) of Comprehending on Page 23.

Task four:

Read and fill in the schema chart of the passage

Read the whole passage and fill in the schema chart below. Title: Main idea:

Part one

Part two

Part three

Part four

Task five: Summary

Write a summary according to the tasks above. List the major events of the whole process and organize the whole passage in a well-designed way.

Sample summary:

Rosa parks, a black woman, got on a bus and sat in the fifth row. She was supposed to give seat to a standing white man, but she refused to do so. Therefore, she was arrested. This unfair treatment made the black people very angry. King and other black people called on a bus boycott in Montgomery.

The bus boycott went smoothly and successfully. All the black people united as a whole and they went to work on foot or in taxis. A year later, the boycott met with hardships. The white businesses were suffering and they tried many tricks to stop the boycott. The houses of Martin and other black leaders were bombed. But all their tricks failed. At last the boycott succeeded and it led to the improvement of black people's civil rights.

Step V Post-reading Task one: Discussion

Turn to Page 24 (Ex. 3) and look at these sayings and discuss the changes in attitude towards the blacks. Please try to explain why the politicians show different attitude towards the situation of the black people.

Task two: Change people's attitude T: The Civil Rights Movement was about changing people’s attitude. Sometimes in our real life we need to change people's attitude to protect our rights and other people's rights. Look at Situation 1 on Page 24. Discuss with your partner and think out some strategies to change the situation.

Step VI Homework Task one: Make phrases by using the following words (for example:
