1.教材分析
本單元以cultural relics為話題，旨在通過單元教學(xué)使學(xué)生了解世界文化遺產(chǎn)，學(xué)會描述它們的起源。發(fā)展和保護(hù)等方面的情況，復(fù)習(xí)并掌握定語從句，能在英語口語交際過程中判斷別人給出的依據(jù)，并給出自己的觀點(diǎn)，能回信并就如何保護(hù)和處理世界文化遺產(chǎn)給出自己的觀點(diǎn)。
1.1 Warming up假設(shè)你是一個(gè)文化遺產(chǎn)部門的工作人員，被派往一個(gè)小村鎮(zhèn)，去調(diào)查一個(gè)罕見的明朝花瓶被盜事件。這時(shí)有一個(gè)男的試圖阻止你，并堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為這個(gè)花瓶是屬于他家的，那么對此，你要對他說些什么？
1.2 Pre-reading是Reading的熱身部分，有兩個(gè)問題組成。第一個(gè)問題是想出一個(gè)你了解的文物遺產(chǎn)，如果這個(gè)文物遺產(chǎn)不見了，你會感覺如何，為什么會有這樣的感覺？第二個(gè)問題是你發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)文物遺產(chǎn)/I，那么你會怎么處理它？這樣的兩個(gè)問題便為引出Reading: InSearch of the Amber Room做好了鋪墊。
1.3 Reading是關(guān)于尋找丟失了的普魯士國王威廉一世送給俄羅斯沙皇的那個(gè)琥珀屋的建立、被毀、重建的整個(gè)歷史。第一段說The Amber Room has“strange history，并對它進(jìn)行洋細(xì)的描述。第二段敘述了The Amber Room的來歷及其在俄國的用途：沙皇的冬宮和會見重要客人的會客室。第三段敘述了葉卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宮殿中，并按照她的意愿對這個(gè)琥珀屋進(jìn)行了重新設(shè)計(jì)，使之成為世界上最偉大的奇跡之一。第四段，敘述了1941年9月，納粹德軍入侵圣彼得堡，并擄走了琉拍屋，使之成為一個(gè)謎。第五段，講述了現(xiàn)在德俄兩國人民依據(jù)舊的琥珀屋，在夏宮建立了一個(gè)新的琥珀屋。設(shè)計(jì)這篇文章的目的是讓學(xué)生從文化遺產(chǎn)的歷史中，體驗(yàn)人類文明發(fā)展的過程，提高學(xué)生保護(hù)文化遺產(chǎn)的意識。
1.4 Comprehending既有知識性的問題，讓學(xué)生了解文章的細(xì)節(jié)(exercise 1)，同時(shí)又跳出了課文，對文章進(jìn)行了整體評價(jià)(exercise 2)0由易到難，有較好的梯度，全面
考查了學(xué)生對文章的理解。
1.5 Learning about Language分Discovering useful words and expressions和Discovering useful structures兩部分。其中第一部分的Exercise 1根據(jù)英語解釋，寫出對應(yīng)的單詞。Exercise 2練習(xí)belong to的詞義和用法。Exercise 3練習(xí)介詞at的用法。第二部分的Exercise 1從文中找出7個(gè)含that /which /who /where /when的定語從句。Exercise 2 Join the pairs of sentences using that／which /who /whose /where /when without commas（限定性定語從句）。Exercises 3 Join the pairs of sentences using
which/who /whom /where /when with commas（非限定性定語從句）。
1.6 Using Language分Reading，Listening and Writing和Speaking and writing和Reading and writing三部分。在第一部分的Listening中要求學(xué)生take notes while listening進(jìn)一步提高聽力水平。第二部分中speak and write down a short list of reasons for your choice.練習(xí)這種句型It can be proved that---because---第三部分Read a letter from a German newspaper and write a reply to this letter and give a reason why you agree or don't agree with the writer.

Step I Homework checking
T: Well, class, at the beginning of this class，1 want to know whether you have collected some information of the cultural relics that are in danger?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK, tell me what you collected?
S1：The Great Wall in China is in danger. Some parts of the wall have been destroyed by the wind，air and rain. Thus it is dangerous for people to climb parts of the Great Wall. And there is also some rubbish on the Great Wall, which destroyed the beauty of the Great Wall.
S2: The pyramids in Egypt are also destroyed by the wind, air and rain. Some of them need to be repaired.
S3: Some buildings of Angkor Wat are falling down.

Students watch the videos to find some cultural relics that are in danger.
T: Have you found that some of them are in danger?
Ss: Yes.
T: Maybe one day, they will not exist. Then what should we do with them? Now let's go to the next part, Speaking Task.
Step III Speaking Task (P46)
T: China has tens of thousands of cultural relics. Perhaps it is not possible or necessary to save all of them For ex ample, Beijing is famous for its lanes or traditional houses and yard, Some people say that only the best ones should be saved Others disagree, and say they make the capital a special place Now, let's have a discussion about this in two sides. Do you think China should save all of its cultural relics?
-A: Yes, we should save all our cultural relics.
-B: No, we shouldn't save all our cultural relics. We should only save the best one.
T: Well, you did a good job. Next, practice again the sentences that can be used to show your opinions.
Step IV Writing
T: Write an article of 100-120 words about the whole discussion and express your opinion at the same time. No matter what your opinion is, just write it down.
Later, the teacher shows some articles of the students with a projector and corrects them with the whole class.
Suggested answers
Today, we have a discussion on "Should China save all of its cultural relics". Some students think that we should save all the cultural relics for the following reasons. All the cultural relics have their own history and represent parts of our culture. So they are very important and useful
to society. Although we have to spend a lot of money to protect them, it is worth protecting them. But some students think that we should just save the best cultural relics instead of saving all the cultural relics for the following reasons. There are too many cultural relics in our country to be protected. Thus, we'll have to spend a lot of money. Maybe this will be a waste of money. After all, some cultural relics are not so valuable and useful. So we should spend the money that is used to protect some unimportant cultural relics on theimportant things. In my opinion, we should just protect the best ones. After all, our country is still a developing country and bas not enough money to protect all the cultural relics. As long as we can keep the culture that the cultural relics stand for; that's enough.
Step V Talking (P41)
T: Please talk with your partner about the latest clothes. Complete the dialogue, giving facts and opinions where asked.
First, the students check their answers each other. Later, the teacher gives the answers, using a slide projector.
Suggested answers
A: SINGER (name of a company) makes the best coasts (name of a kind of clothing) in China! It's a fact.
B: Really? How do you know that?
A: Because all my workmates (name of persons) wear them
B: But that doesn't make it a fact.
A: Why not?
B: Because 1 don't know this kind clothing and 1 never see anyone wear them
A: OK. So if it's not a fact, what is it?
B: It's an unbelievable fact.
Let the students practice the dialogue with their partners and then give a short performance for the class.

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（耗時(shí)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)
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.
Your friend,
Lucy Ma
Possible answer（II）
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.

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.
