England, Wales joined Scotland (1603) England, Wales, Scotland got Northern Ireland connectedT: Often will use England to stand for the UK.One of the reasons is that England is the largest of the four countries.So England is divided into three zones.Do you know the three zones?S: The South, the Midlands and the North.T: Yes.Look at the map in part 2 on Page 11.Draw lines across to show the zones of the South, Midlands and North of England.Then put each town or city into its correct zone.S: York, Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield belong to the North.S: Birmingham and Coventry belong to the Midlands.S: Plymouth, Brighton, Reading and London belong to the South.T: You did quite a good job.T: Do you have any questions about Part 2?S: What does “those” mean in the sentence “For those you have to go to older but smaller towns first built by the Romans.”?T: In order to analyze“those”, you have to read the sentence before it.“.these industrial cities.do not have the historical attractions of other places.”So now do you know what “those” refers to?S: Yes.It must refer to “the historical attractions”.T: You are very clever.Now try to paraphrase the sentence by finishing the following sentence._ you want to _ some _ _, you have to go to older but smaller towns _ _ first built by the Romans.S: If you want to see some historical attractions, you have to go to older but smaller towns which were first built by the Romans.T: You are right.T: The last part tells us about the invaders influence on England and London.Read it and try to fill in the table below.EnglandLondonThe RomansThe Anglo-SaxonsThe VikingsThe Normans(After a few minutes.)T: Now lets check your answers.EnglandLondonThe Romansleft their towns and roadsbuilt the oldest port in the 1st century ADThe Anglo-Saxonsleft their language and governmentbuilt the oldest building in the 1060sThe Vikingsinfluenced the vocabulary and place-namesNoneThe Normansleft castles and words for foodconstructed the oldest castle in 1066Step 7 Pair WorkThe students work in pairs to make a dialogue.One of them is a native Englishman, while the other is a visitor to England.The visitor is asking the native Englishman about the geography of the United Kingdom.(The teacher gives the students to practice in pairs for a few minutes.)(Then the teacher asks one or two pairs to e to the front to demonstrate their dialogues.)One example: A: Wele to England.Is this your first visit to England?B: Yes.Im very glad to meet you.Would you mind if I asked you some questions?A: Of course not.Go ahead.B: Is your country called England or Britain?I am really puzzled.A: Actually, the whole country is called the UK, which stands for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.The Great Britain is made up of three countries, that is, England, Wales and Scotland.A: What about the southern part of Ireland?B: The southern part of that island broke away to form its own government.B: Then why do people call your country England sometimes?A: Oh, thats because England is the largest one of the four countries.B: I see.I have another question.Last time when I watched the World Cup, I noticed there is a football team of England.But there are also teams of Northern Ireland and Scotland.Can you explain this to me?A: The four countries do work together in some areas, but they are still very different.For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have developed different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for petitions like the World Cup.B: I see.Thank you for your kindness.A: You are wele.Have a good stay in England.B: Thanks.Bye.A: Bye.Step 8 Homework1.Try to write a short summary of the passage in about 50 words.2.Finish Part 1 in Learning about language on Page 11.The Design of the Writing on the BlackboardUnit 2The United KingdomPeriod 2Reading Words & phrases: 1.consists of2.puzzling3.legal4.left out 5.collection 6.influence7.break away from8.clarified9.convenience10.construct Fast-reading1.Did the countries of the UK unite peacefully or by war?2.Where should we go if we want to appreciate some historical attractions of the UK? Invaders influence on England and LondonEnglandLondonThe RomansThe Anglo-SaxonsThe VikingsThe NormansResearch and ActivitiesRead another passage about the United Kingdompare it with the passage “Puzzles in Geography”, paying special attention to the writing styles of the two writers.BRITAIN AND IRELANDThe island of Britain lies to the east of Ireland.The two are separated by the Irish Sea.The letters“UK”stand for“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.”The UK is made up of four countries.In the north is Scotland, with its capital Edinburgh.Scotland has many lakes and mountains, and is famous for its beautiful.Wales lies to the west of England.Its capital is Cardiff.Everyone there can speak English, but the first language in North Wales is Welsh.There are Welsh newspapers.Programmes on the radio and TV are in Welsh.The countryside here is very beautiful too, with lots of mountains and rivers.There used to be a lot of coal mines in the south, but many of them have been closed, or are about to be closed.England, the largest country in Britain, is in the southeast.Its capital is London, which is also the capital of the UK.London lies on the River Thames and has a population of seven million. Much of England is rather flat, although there are hills in the northeast and in the centre of the country.Ireland is divided into two countries.In the north, Northern Ireland, with its capital Belfast, is part of the United Kingdom.The Southern part of the island is a separate country, called the Republic of Ireland with Dublin as its capital.Generally, the weather in Britain is neither too cold in winter nor too hot in summer.It is colder in the north, warmer in the south, drier in the east and wetter in the west.Ireland is especially wet.In all parts of Britain it rains every month of the year; there is no“dry season”.Snow falls in Scotland every winter and sometimes in England and Wales too.Falls of snow in Ireland are most unusual.*Question for discussion: Both passages are about the United Kingdom, but the two writers focused on different things.What are the major differences between the two passages?Reference for TeachingAn Introduction to the United KingdomThe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country in western Europe.It is a monwealth Realm, and a member of the European Union and NATO.Usually known simply as the United Kingdom or the UK, it is also often inaccurately named Great Britain, Britain or England (the most populous of the home nations).The UK has four constituent parts, three of whichthe ancient nations of England, Wales and Scotlandare located on the island of Great Britanin.The fourth part is Northern Ireland, which is located on the island of Ireland.The border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland forms the United Kingdoms principal international land border, although there is also a nominal frontier with France in the middle of the Channel Tunnel.The UK also has overseas territories throughout the world, and relationships with several Crown dependencies.The UK was formed by a series of Acts of Union which united the Kingdom of England (which included Wales as a principality) with those of, first, Kingdom of Scotland and then Kingdom of Ireland under a single government in London.The greater part of Ireland left the United Kingdom (then called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) in 1922 to form an independent state (in which, until 1949, the King of the United Kingdom was also King of Ireland).This state later became the Republic of Ireland.Six counties in the north-eastern portion of the island, meanwhile, remained a part of the United Kingdom, forming Northern Ireland to this day.The UK is situated off the north-western coast of continental Europe, and has a land border with the Republic of Ireland, but is otherwise surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean.Great Britain, or just Britain, is the geographical name of the largest of the British Isles (often also including its smaller neighboring islands, though never Ireland).Politically, the term Great Britain refers collectively to the nations of England, Wales and Scotland (i.e., the United Kingdom except for Northern Ireland).This political usage of “Great Britain” dates from the personal union of the Crowns of Scotland and England (including Wales) in 1603, with the term being used in the sense “all of Britain”.In the early years of the “United Kingdom of Great Britain”, formed by the Act of Union of 1707, it was customary to refer officially to Scotland and to England and Wales as, respectively, “North Britain” and“South Britain”, though the usage never really caught on.It should be noted that the practice by some, the informal media in particular, of using “(Great) Britain” as shorthand for the United Kingdom is an inaccuracy, which can cause offence.The British Isles is a term frequently used to refer to the archipelago which includes the mainland of Great Britain, the mainland of Ireland, and the smaller islands associated with these two, such as the Channel Islands, the Hebrides, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, Orkney, the Shetland Islands, etc.The term is, however, often avoided, especially in Ireland, by those who are conscious that it is sometimes misunderstood internationally to mean “the islands belonging to Britain (i.e. the United Kingdom)”, a description out of date in the Irish case since 1922.An alternative, the Islands of the North Atlantic(IONA) has been proposed, but is little used outside diplomatic circles.GEOGRAPHYLocation:Western Europe, islands including the northern one-sixth of the island of Ireland between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, northwest of FranceGeographic coordinates:5400 N, 200 WMap references:EuropeArea:total: 244 820 sq kmwater: 3 230 sq kmnote: includes Rockall and Shetland Islandsland: 241 590 sq kmArea-parative:slightly smaller than OregonLand boundaries:total: 360 kmborder countries: Ireland 360 kmCoastline:12 429 kmMaritime claimscontinental shelf: as defined in continental shelf orders or in accordance with agreed upon boundariesexclusive fishing zone: 200 NMterritorial sea: 12 NMClimate:temperate;
