Do four–student group discussion, and several representatives of each group give their opinions.

? Why do you think Spielberg can be a successful director? ? What have you learnt from reading about Spielberg? The teacher gives a conclusion.

? The 1st paragraph shows us that Spielberg had great passion for film from a very early age.

? The 2nd paragraph shows that Spielberg worked hard. And he also had his perseverance. He studied English to get high grades and never gave up film.

? In the last paragraph, Spielberg says that he owes much of his success to his wife and kids. So we can see that Spielberg is not too proud. He is very modest.

Step 3: Conclusion T: Spielberg worked so hard on his passion --- film, and now we can see many films directed by him. If you are interested in any of his films, you can enjoy them in your spare time. And very importantly, I hope you can learn something from the films and people in films.

step 4. Summary and Homework T: In this class, we’ve read a passage about a famous American director Steven Spielberg. We’ve known what some of his films are about. We’ve also learned some words, phrases and so on in the text. After class, you should learn all of them by heart and try to use them freely and correctly. Read the text again and again until you can read it very fluently and recite some important sentences. Don’t forget to preview Language Study and Grammar in the text period. We’ll learn the two parts next class. That’s all for today. Class is over.

The Third Period

Teaching Aims:

Review the words learned in the last two periods. Learn the Attributive Clause with prepositions.

Learn the Attributive Clause introduced by relative adverbs “where, when and why”.

Teaching Important Points:

The usages of “prep.+the relative pronoun”. The usages and functions of the relative adverbs.

Teaching Methods:

Consolidate the words learnt using the re-view method.

Learn some usages of Attributive Clause using explanation and inductive methods. Individual or pair work to make every student work in class.

Teaching Procedures:

Step 1 . Greetings

Step 2. Grammar Study

T： The relative pronouns are used as objects either after verbs or after prepositions. When they are used as the objects of prepositions, the position of the prepositions must be paid attention to. The preposition usually follows the verb in spoken English. “who” “whom” \ English. If the preposition is used before the relative pronoun, \“whom” can only be used while “who” or \\That is \whom/which\= prep. + whom/which) Please look at the examples on the screen.

1．A. The person (who/that/whom) you should write to is Mr. Ball. B. The person to whom you should write is Mr.Ball.

2．A. The games(which/that)he competed in were swimming and shooting.

B. The games in which he competed were swimming and shooting the whole class as usual.

T: We can choose the proper prepositions in three ways. First, we can find out which verb the preposition is used

with in the clause. Second, we Can find out which noun or pronoun the clause modifies. Third, we can find out the meaning of the clause. I'll give you some examples. Look at the screen, please.

1. A. Have you met the person about whom he was speaking? B. He is the man to whom you can turn for help. 2. A. The farm on which we worked ten years ago isn't what it used to be. B. This is the tree under which we used to play games. 3. A. The pen with which he is writing now was bought yesterday. B. The gas without which we can not live is called oxygen. T: Are you clear about that? .

T：OK. Complete the sentences on the screen, using a preposition and a relative pronoun whom/which.

1. The book I heard was written twenty years ago. 2. The people _ the man spoke weren't listening. 3. The film I fell asleep was very boring.

(Teacher gives students some time to prepare, then asks some of them to give the answers. )

Step 3. Study for the Language Points

T: There are some words, phrases that are difficult to understand. Now find them out in the passage. (Teacher writes the words and phrases on the Bb: creat, work on , take off, cut…into/in pieces, hit ,go wrong, win over, in the end , owe…to…) T: There are pairs of words or phrases that are similar to each other. We should tell the differences between them. And there’s also a sentence pattern that we should master. (Bb: be afraid to do sth./be afraid of (doing) sth. , high/highly;…love and friend-ship are the most important things in life.) Now I’ll explain them to you. Look at the examples on the screen, please.

Step 3. Summary and Homework T: In this class we've reviewed some words about films. We've also learned the usages of some relative pronouns used together with prepositions. We've learnt the usages of the relative adverbs, too. After class, find out all the sentences which contain the Attributive Clauses in this unit. And remember to prepare for the contents for the next period. That's all for today. Class is over. Good-bye, everyone !
