Last time, we had a great discussion about Confucius, Shakespeare, and Mark Twain. We learned how these great thinkers and writers have influenced the world. Today, I want to start with a little game. I'll show you some pictures of books, and you tell me if you recognize them. (Show pictures of classic books like Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) Student 1: I know Alice's Adventures in Wonderland! Teacher: That's right! It's a very interesting book full of strange and wonderful adventures. What about this one? (Show a picture of Pride and Prejudice) Student 2: Is it Pride and Prejudice? Teacher: Exactly! Well done. These books have been read and loved by people for a long time. They are truly great books. Today, we are going to study Unit 2 “It is still read and loved”. Let’s explore more great books together! II. New words teaching (10 minutes) Teacher: First, let’s look at the new words. The word “dialogue” is very important. It means a conversation between two or more people, especially in a book, play, or film. For example, in a good story, the dialogues make the characters come alive. Repeat after me, “dialogue”. (Students repeat) Next, “theme”. A theme is the main subject or idea in a book, film, etc. For instance, the theme of many love stories is love and sacrifice. Read after me, “theme”. (Students repeat) Then, “act”. Here, “act” is a noun. In a play, a play is usually divided into several acts, just like a book is divided into chapters. We say, “Act I, Scene 2”. Say it together, “act”. (Students repeat) “Scene” means a part of a play in which the action happens in one place. For example, “The first scene of the play takes place in a garden.” Read it, “scene”. (Students repeat) “Character” refers to a person in a book, play, film, etc. Think about your favorite book. There must be some characters you like very much. Follow me, “character”. (Students repeat) “Move” can mean to make someone feel strong emotions. A sad story can move us to tears. Say it, “move”. (Students repeat) “Reviewer” is a person who writes reviews of books, films, etc. We will be like reviewers today and talk about great books. Read it aloud, “reviewer”. (Students repeat) Now, let’s practice these words. I’ll describe something, and you tell me which word I’m talking about. If I say “a conversation between people in a play”, what’s the word? Students: Dialogue. Teacher: Good! What about “the main idea of a story”? Students: Theme. Teacher: Correct! And “a person in a story”? Students: Character. III. Pre - reading (8 minutes) Teacher: Before we read the text, look at the pictures on page 59. There are two pictures. One shows a scene from a play, and the other shows a book. What do you think the text will be about? Discuss with your deskmates for two minutes. (Students discuss) Okay, who wants to share your ideas? Student 1: I think it might be about a famous play and a book, and how they are still popular. Teacher: That’s a great guess! Another one? Student 2: Maybe it will talk about the characters and themes of these works. Teacher: Excellent thinking! Now, let’s look at the title “It is still read and loved”. What do you think “it” refers to? Student 3: I think “it” refers to a great book or a play. Teacher: Exactly. Now, let’s predict what we might learn from the text. What kind of information could be included? Student 4: Maybe the background of the work, like when it was written. Teacher: Good! What else? Student 5: The reasons why it is still popular. Teacher: Great! We might also learn about the characters, themes, and how it has influenced people. IV. Reading (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, let’s start reading. First, read the text quickly and find out the main idea of each paragraph. Try to do it in three minutes. (Students read quickly) Okay, who can tell me the main idea of Paragraph 1? Student 1: It tells us that great books are still read today. Teacher: Right! And Paragraph 2? Student 2: It talks about the play Hamlet and its writer Shakespeare. Teacher: Good job. What about Paragraph 3? Student 3: It is about the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mark Twain. Teacher: Excellent. Now, let’s read the text again carefully. This time, answer the questions in Activity 2 on page 59. (Students read and answer the questions) Let’s check the answers. For Question 1, who wrote Hamlet? Students: Shakespeare. Teacher: Correct. Question 2, what is the theme of Hamlet? Student 4: It’s about revenge. Teacher: Right. Question 3, who is the main character in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? Students: Huckleberry Finn. Teacher: Good. Question 4, why is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn a great book? Student 5: Because it describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. Teacher: Perfect. V. Language points analysis (15 minutes) Teacher: Now, let’s analyze some important language points. Look at the sentence “It describes the everyday life of people in the southern states of America at that time.” Here, “describe” means to give a picture of something or someone in words. Can you make a sentence with “describe”? Student 1: I can describe my hometown in detail. Teacher: Great! Next, “everyday” is an adjective, meaning ordinary or normal. Don’t confuse it with “every day”. “Every day” is an adverbial phrase, meaning each day. For example, “This is an everyday story.” and “I go to school every day.” Understand? Students: Yes. Teacher: Good. Now, look at “It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real.” Here, “be written in” means to use a certain language or style to write something. And “sound” is a linking verb here, just like “look”, “feel”, “taste”. It is followed by an adjective. Can you give an example using “sound”? Student 2: Her voice sounds beautiful. Teacher: Excellent! Then, “The themes of the story are to do with children growing up and becoming more serious.” “Be to do with” means to be connected with or about something. For example, This movie is to do with history. Make a sentence with “be to do with”. Student 3: His speech is to do with environmental protection. Teacher: Great job! Also, “It is a novel which is still read by people all over the world today.” This is a complex sentence with an attributive clause. “Which is still read by people all over the world today” is the attributive clause, modifying “novel”. Can you make a sentence with an attributive clause? Student 4: The book which I bought yesterday is very interesting. Teacher: Perfect! VI. Group discussion and presentation (12 minutes) Teacher: Now, it’s time for group discussion. I’ll divide you into groups of four. Each group chooses either Hamlet or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Discuss the following questions: What do you like most about the work? What is the most impressive character? How does the work influence you? You have 8 minutes to discuss. (Students discuss in groups, and the teacher walks around to offer help) Okay, let’s start the presentations. Group 1, would you like to start first? Group 1: We chose Hamlet. What we like most about Hamlet is the deep and complex plot. The theme of revenge is very exciting. The most impressive character is Hamlet. He is very intelligent but also full of hesitation. This play makes us think a lot about life and death. Teacher: That’s a very thoughtful presentation. Well done! Next group. Group 2: We talked about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. We like the description of the American south in the book. It makes us feel like we are there. The most impressive character is Huckleberry Finn. He is brave and kind - hearted. This book teaches us to be brave in facing difficulties. Teacher: Excellent! You all expressed your ideas very clearly. VII. Summary (3 minutes) Teacher: Today, we learned a lot about two great works, Hamlet and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. We learned new words like “dialogue”, “theme”, “act”, etc. We also studied important language points, such as “describe”, “be written in”, and attributive clauses. Remember, great books can not only entertain us but also make us think and grow. VIII. Homework (2 minutes) Teacher: For homework, I want you to write a short review of either Hamlet or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. You can include what you learned today, like the characters, themes, and your own feelings. Use at least five new words and three language points we learned. I’ll look forward to reading your reviews tomorrow. Class is over. Goodbye! Students: Goodbye, teacher! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
