Unit 5¡¡Nelson Mandela—a modern hero

This is the third teaching period of this unit. To test whether the students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. The pattern “ only then did we decide to answer violence with violence”is a bit important, so special exercises should be designed.

This teaching period mainly deals with the grammar:the Attributive Clause introduced by the relative adverb and preposition+which/whom. Firstly, the teacher can ask the students to read the text Elias’ Story, tick out the attributive clauses in the reading passage and translate them into Chinese. Secondly, compare and discover the usages of the Attributive Clause, especially the usages of Relative Adverbs (when, where, why)and preposition+which/whom by giving a lot of example sentences. Thirdly, do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 37 and more exercises for students to master the Attributive Clause introduced by the relative adverb and preposition+which/whom. Finally, summarize the Attributive Clause.

At the end of the class, ask the students to do the exercises in Using structures on Page 71 and additional exercises for consolidation.

Get the students to master the Attributive Clause introduced by the Relative Adverb and preposition+which/whom.

Enable the students learn how to choose relative adverbs and how to use preposition+which/whom correctly.
