It tells students the differences between a famous or rich person and a great one. It also tells something about Nelson Mandela. He was chosen as the example of a modern great man because of his fight for fairness in South Africa and his far-sighted and generous ideas to those white people who were against him. His idea on how to resolve conflicts can be found in the teachings of Gandhi, which he put into practice. After many years hard struggle he helped his people get the same rights as white people in his country. After studying this unit, students are expected to come to be truly aware of the qualities of a great person and know about the lives of some great people. Thus, based on the theme, contents and teaching objectives, the whole teaching procedures can fall into seven periods as follows:Period 1:Warming up and ReadingPeriod 2:Important language pointsPeriod 3:Grammar:the Attributive Clause ()Period 4:Listening and TalkingPeriod 5:Extensive Reading and SpeakingPeriod 6:Writing and Writing TaskPeriod 7:Revision (Summing up and Learning tip)Period 1Warming up and Reading整体设计从容说课This is the first teaching period of this unit. At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by showing students some pictures of famous or great persons and talking about them.As to Warming Up, students may have a discussion of the two questions in groups. This part should encourage the students to think what qualities they have. It can be used as an exercise on its own or can be continued into the Pre-reading section. After discussion, the teacher can help the students to sum up the qualities a great person should have.Pre-reading is a key part of the unit. It is important because it is where the students examine the difference between a famous and a great person and think of the qualities that are needed to make a great person. The teacher can first collect from the students a list of five or six qualities that they think great persons have. Then ask the students to read the information of each of the six persons, discuss in pairs what qualities make a great person and find out whether he is a great person or not.The reading passage titled Elias Story is to introduce students to the qualities and abilities that make Nelson Mandela such an interesting person to study. Not only was he able to inspire many to follow him despite many difficulties but he became an international symbol for fairness and justice. Many people in the world were so inspired by him that they followed the ANC call for a boycott of South African goods sent abroad for export. It was hoped that economic pressure from abroad would help to change the political system and make life fairer for all in South Africa. But it was the black people of South Africa who had to put the greatest pressure on the government to make changes. The story is told from their point of view. Elias tells the story so that students do not lose sight of the problems that so many black people had to face in South Africa before black majority rule. The parts in quotation marks are the words spoken by Nelson Mandela at his trial in Rivonia (1963)to explain his attitude to violence and justify his actions. This was an important speech because it helped other countries understand the situation in South Africa for black people. It gave them reasons for putting pressure on South Africa to change their policies. It took a very long time (till the 1990s)before the situation improved and South Africa had the vote for everyone and a black government led by Nelson Mandelaa black man. The teacher can first get the students to skim for topic sentences of each paragraph and general idea, and then scan for further understanding. Because there are too many new words in the reading passage, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading the text, have a class discussion and play an interview game for the students to understand more about the text.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, the students should be required to retell the passage in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse the students interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.教具重点 1. Get the students to know about the qualities a great person should have.2.

When talking about a person, what adjectives can you think of to describe his or her qualities?2. What kind of a person are you? Do you think you have the qualities to be a great person?3. What are the qualities you should find in a great person?Ask the students first to brainstorm the questions, then to describe themselves.

Looking and answeringLook at the six people in the part Pre-reading and answer the following questions.1)Can you recognize them? Who are they?2)Do you think they are important people? Why or why not?3)Do you think all of them are great people?One minute for students to think them over.

B:Yes. I think so. He had a strong belief that all people should be able to read the Bible for themselves. So he translated and printed it into English although he was not allowed to do so. And later he died for his work.A:I agree. William Tyndale went through a lot of struggles and difficulties and even sacrificed his life to realize his dream. He is a great person that everybody who picks up the Bible must think of. Now, lets come to Norman Bethune. What do you think of him?B:. . .Step 3 While-reading1. Lead-in and guessingTell the students:So far we have talked a lot about great persons. Do you want to know more about them and learn from them?
