教学设计方案 Lesson 54
Step 1 Revision
1 Check the homework exercises.
2 Get Ss to tell each other the story of Kunta in pairs. One S starts the
story, then the partner continues, and so on.
Step 2 Presentation
SB Lesson 54, Part 1,. Get Ss to talk about the pictures and describe what they
can see. Teach the new word ancestor and the phrase in his youth (= when he was a
young man).
Step 3 Reading for general understanding
Read aloud the task and the two questions. Allow the Ss enough time to read the
text and discuss their answers in pairs, then collect the answers from the class.
(1 Gambia. 2 Information about his ancestors.)
Step 4 Reading
Wb Lesson 54, Ex. 1. Go through the exercise and make sure the Ss know what to
do. Let them read the whole passage carefully and answer thequestions, working in
pairs or small groups. Check the answers with the whole class. This is a good time
to deal with any language problems.
Step 5 Comprehension
Wb Lesson 54, Ex. 2. Explain that Ss have to read the text again and put the
events into the correct order. Make the Ss do this task individually, then check
their answers in pairs.
Step 6 Reading aloud
Speech Cassette Lesson 54. Play the tape of the passage for the Ss to listen
and follow. Play the tape of part of the passage once more; this time the Ss listen
and repeat. Pay attention to stress and intonation, and the sentence stress of
longer sentences.
Step 7 Story telling
SB Page 10, Part 2. Allow the Ss some time tolook at the pictures and construct
the story in their own words. With a weak class, the following cue words may be
given on the Bb.
1 Kunta Kinte / born in Gambia / a free and strong man / fond of music;
2 one day / Kunta / cut a tree in a forest near the coast / make a drum / hit
on the head;
3 Kunta Kinte / wake up / caught by some black men / reason with them / sent
to a castle on the coast;
4 a few days later / taken and put on a tall sailing ship / in chains / unable
to / stand up / the sea journey / 60 days and nights;
5 the ship / arrive in a port in America / see in daylight / a third of the
black people missing;
6 at a market / Kunta and some other Africans /sold to farmers / work in the
fields / badly treated / try to run away / cut off part of his foot.
Get the Ss to tell the story in groups first. Then call out some of them to
describe the pictures in class. Either the present tense or the past tense, can be
used when telling the story, but it should be consistent.
Step 8 Interview
SB Page 10, Part 3. Get Ss to prepare their questions in pairs, then check
these with the whole class. If necessary, using the following as hints：
How / first / learn / about your African ancestor?
Where / ancestor / come from?
Why / interested / in your “roots”?
What / you do / to find out more?
Why / you go / to Gambia?
How / get enough money / go to Gambia?
What / you discover / when / get to Gambia?
How / find out / about Kunta's disappearance?
Then get Ss to work in pairs and do the role play.
Get them to change roles and do it again. If you wish, you can get one or two
pairs to act out the interview in front of the class.
Step 9 Workbook
Wb Lesson 54, Ex. 3.
Let the Ss go over the sentences and the answers.
They should do the exercise independently. Then check the answers with the
whole class.
