How is the article organized? The first paragraph gives the brief introduction of Benjamin Franklin--a scientist and an inventor. The next three paragraphs introduce some of his brilliant inventions. 11 Read and think 2. His invention of the lightning conductor was of great importance. 3. Benjamin Franklin was a brave man with curiosity. 1. Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. No. Yes. Yes. Read Para. 2 and think about the following statements. Do you agree with them? Why or why not? 学生根据第二段判断正误。并且用文中的内容给出理由。 1. Benjamin Franklin didn't discover electricity himself. He experiments led to the discovery of some very important findings of electricity. 2. The invention of lightning rod is important because it protects buildings and ships from damage caused by lightning. （rod还是conductor？是否需要统一，第二和三更像观点题，可否问学生什么样的人会被称作curious？书上有答案a curious person always wants to know how things work and is always searching for ways to make them better.） 3. He was a brave man because he dared to experiment with electricity with simple equipment. That was very dangerous. He was also a man with curiosity because he was interested in new things and carried out experiments. 这里可以问学生simple equipment是什么？呼应前面的录像：key, wet string *提问：Why does writer write about lightning rod first? It is the most well-known invention of his. 要指出的是，传言中的这个风筝线实验有很多疑点，可能不属实，需要进一步查证。但是发明避雷针是真的。 12 Read and answer WHY did Benjamin Franklin invent it? HOW could the invention help him?

Why do you think so? 答案不唯一。学生讨论： I think he was a man with curiosity. He was natually curious about how things worked and was always searching for ways to make them better. For example he did experiments on electricity. He also imporved the paving and lighting of the city streets to make the city life better. I think he was talented and creative. He was not only good at one field, but also was good at a lot of things. He had so many different inventions in different fields. He must be good at maths, physics, mechanics, ship building and so on. I think he was a great problem solver. Some of his inventions were created due to his real need. He had poor vision and he was tired of taking glasses on and off，so he invented bifocals to solve the problem. I think he was brave and adventurous. It was dangerous to do experiments on electricity, but he experimented with simple equipment. He did that at the risk of his life. He was historically important. His inventions have influence on our life today. We still use bifocals to see far and near at the same time. We still build watertight bulkheads. The lightning rods are still in use today to protect buildings and ships from damage caused by lightning. 19 Read and think Para. 2: A famous invention in detail. Para. 3: Another invention in detail. Para. 1: A brief introduction. Para. 4: Other inventions in brief. 20 Think and discuss an encyclopaedia entry Is Benjamin Franklin a newspaper article? Why or why not? 这一页的问题似乎不太好，有些兜圈子。The textbook calls “Benjamin Franklin” a “newspaper article”. What do you think? Do you remember what we discussed in the listening lesson? What is a newspaper article like? 这里可以请一个学生回答： A headline (title) with verb in present tense A strong lead sentence that captures the reader’s interest. A body that contains facts, details, interviews (if appropriate) and answers the 5 Ws and an H If it’s not a newspaper article, what do you think the text is like? 学生回答：I think it is really more like an encyclopaedia entry. It contains known facts and ideas. And most importantly, a newspaper article should be new. Good point! Although newspapers do cover historical figures, especially if the person is as important to a country’s history as Franklin was to the U.S. An article related to something or someone in the PAST must be relevant to the PRESENT (It must be timely: done or happening at the right time). Ben Franklin died in 1790, over 200 years ago. As famous as he was, how do modern journalists make Ben Franklin and others like him “new” and interesting to today’s readers? Let me show you an example that just does that. It’s a feature newspaper article about Franklin which appeared on Jan. 17, 2017, on his 311th birthday. And this can be your homework. Read and try to figure out how the journalist made it ‘new’. 20 21 Look and think Read a feature article about Benjamin Franklin and answer the questions on Homework sheet.
