Unit 4 Developing ideas & Presenting ideas 名师教学设计
课时内容:
Developing ideas包含两个部分:第一部分的课文分为两部分,前一部分交代了亚伯拉罕·林肯演讲的历史背景和意义,后一部分为完整的演讲内容,主要讲述了亚伯拉罕·林肯的一个改变了国家命运的演讲。第二部分Writing a speech主要介绍了美国记者埃德加·斯诺及其主要事迹。《红星照耀中国》(Red star over China)原名《西行漫记》,是埃德加·斯诺的名著,一部文笔优美的纪实性很强的报道性作品。作者真实记录了自1936年6月至10月在中国西北革命根据地(以延安为中心的陕甘宁边区)进行实地采访的所见所闻,向全世界真实报道了中国共产党、中国工农红军以及许多红军领袖、红军将领的情况。毛泽东、周恩来和朱德是斯诺笔下最具代表性的人物形象。

(2)Do Activity 4 on Page 46.
Work in groups. Give a talk about the significance of abolishing slavery in the US.
①Organise your ideas by answering the questions.
·What was the US like before slavery was abolished?
·How was it different afterwards?
·In what ways did the abolition of slavery help to break boundaries?
②Do research to find more evidence to support your Ideas.
③Give your talk to the class.
Suggested answers: ①·The US was divided into states in the North that prohibited slavery, and states in the South which allowed slavery and depended upon slavery economically. ·Slavery was a very cruel institution,and caused great human suffering in the states that permitted it. Reliance on slavery also made the South less technologically advanced than the North. Slaves were freed and were regarded as equal under the law,at least in theory. In practice,black Americans continued to suffer great discrimination in the South for the next hundred years, until the birth of the modern civil rights movement in the 1960s.The legacy of slavery continues to affect race relations in the US today. ·The abolition of slavery made former slaves and their former masters equal before the law. This was the first step towards true equality. ②(略) ③(略)
