Unit 1 Cultural relicsThe Second Period Warming Up and Pre-readingI Teaching aims1 Ability aims1) Get the students to be able to role-play a conversation with the clues in Warming Up.2) Get the students to be able to correctly express their feelings rather than their thoughts by means of answering the questions listed in Pre-reading.2 Language aimsWe are to get the students to practise their ability of talking about cultural relics, using knowledge of the English language the students have grasped.II Teaching important pointsEnable the students to get some basic knowledge or concept of cultural relics after having finished Warming Up and Pre-reading.III Teaching method Task-based methodIV Teaching aids A computer connected with the Internet, a projector.V Teaching proceduresStep 1 Warming Up1 Show some pictures of Chinese cultural relics and ask.T: Do you know what these things are?S: Chinese cultural relics / Cultural relics.T: What is a cultural relic?S: A cultural relic is something that has survived for a long time, often a part of something old that has remained when the rest of it has been destroyed; it tells people about the past.T: What are these?S: Vases.T: Do you know when they were made?S: T: Ming Dynasty. They are very rare Ming Dynasty vases.2 Connect with the Internet to see some more pictures of Ming Dynasty vases.3 Present the situation in Warming Up to get the students thinking and talking about hard choice and how to make them. In this way we can get the students to role-play a conversation with the question: What will you say to him?Allow the students a few minutes to prepare the task.Sample dialogue:YOU: Hello, I am here to see Mr Zhang Ri. Are you Zhang Ri?MAN: Yes, I am.YOU: My name is Hu Yuan. Im from the Office for Cultural Relics.MAN: Oh, is there some problem?YOU: Perhaps. I understand that you have an old Ming Dynasty vase.MAN: Yes, I do but its not mine. Er it belongs to my family.YOU: Hmm. May I have a look at it?MAN: Why, yes, of course. Please come in. Right this way. Here it is.YOU: Its quite beautiful.MAN: Yes, it is, isnt it? Its been with our family for a long time.YOU: Mr Zhang, Im sorry to tell you this but Im quite certain this is a cultural relic.MAN: Oh, how can you be sure?YOU: It is just like the one described in a report I got.MAN: What report?YOU: A report about a relic that is missing from a museum.MAN: I havent heard about that.YOU: Perhaps not. You say this relic has been in your family a long time?MAN: Well, actually, one of my cousins gave it to us.YOU: When was that?MAN: Last year around the time of Mid-Autumn Festival.YOU: Im sorry to say this but I believe this is the relic the museum has lost.Step 2 Pre-readingIn this part the students are required to further give free rein to their imaginations to discuss what they would do with a cultural relic but without the limitations of a specific situation on the knowledge they have got from the previous activity.Sample dialogue:T: If you found a cultural relic, what would you do with it?S1: I dont know.T: Would you want to keep it?S1: Of course not. It doesnt belong to me.T: Then why dont you go to your community council?S1: Im not sure I could trust the people there. What if the person I give it to keep it for himself?T: Good question. What do the rest of you think?S2: I guess I would ask my parents what to do with it.T: Thats a good idea. Anyone else have an idea?S3: I would ask my brother. He is a policeman.T: OK. Another good suggestion, but what if the others dont have a brother who is a policeman?S3: Oh, right. Well, I would talk to someone in our city government.(The solution to the problem may be quite different because of individual)Step 3 Leading-in to amberIn this part we will specially introduce some knowledge of amber and enable the students to get some perceptual knowledge about the Amber Room just by showing some pictures it.Ask questions while showing the pictures: l Have you ever heard of amber?l What is amber? (Play a short video for the students to watch how amber forms.)l Have you ever seen anything made of amber?l Can you imagine what a room made of amber looks like?Step 4 HomeworkPrepare the reading passageThe following reference materials can be linked with the Internet中国的世界文化和自然遗产1972年10月16日联合国教科文组织全会通过了保护世界文化和自然遗产公约，包括中国在内的缔约国迄今已达145个。从1978年公布第一批世界文化遗产的名单起，截至2004年7月中国已有30项列入世界文化和自然遗产目录。各省分布如下：省份项 目 名 称项目性质批准日期序号北京故宫文化1987年12月1长城文化1987年12月2周口店猿人遗址文化1987年12月3颐和园文化1998年12月4天坛文化1998年12月5明清皇陵 (含新增加的南京明孝陵) 文化 2000年12月6河北避暑山庄文化1994年12月7河南龙门石窟文化2001年12月8山西平遥古城文化1997年12月9云岗石窟文化2001年12月10山东泰山文化、自然1987年12月11孔府孔庙孔林文化1994年12月12安徽黄山文化、自然1990年12月13皖南古村落文化1999年12月14江苏苏州园林文化1997年12月15福建武夷山文化、自然1999年12月16四川九寨沟风景区自然1992年12月17黄龙风景区 自然1992年12月18峨眉山 乐山大佛文化、自然1996年12月19青城山 都江堰 文化2000年12月20重庆大足石刻文化1999年12月21江西庐山文化1996年12月22湖北武当山文化1994年12月23湖南武陵源(张家界)自然1992年12月24陕西秦始皇陵 文化1987年12月25甘肃敦煌莫高窟文化1987年12月26云南丽江古城文化1997年12月27三江并流自然2003年 7月28西藏布达拉宫文化1994年12月29吉林高句丽王城、王陵文化2004年7月30附：中国的世界遗产名录世界文化遗产（21处）北京故宫周口店北京人遗址长城西安秦始皇陵及兵马俑坑敦煌
