Teaching Procedures:
?Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision
(Greet the whole class as usual.)
T:In the last period,we listened to a song.Can you sing it?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s sing the song together.(Teacher and the students sing the song together.)Very good.You are all good at singing.Have you found out the meaning of it?Guo Li,you please have a try.
S:It means that though John Brown has died,and his body lies there in the grave,our task has not been finished.Inspired by his spirit we will continue it until we succeed.In order to get the slaves free,John Brown devoted his life.But his soul still marches on with us.If the stars in the heaven are looking kindly down,they must see us struggling on until all the slaves are set free.
?Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
T:Very good.Today,we’ll read more about freedom fighters.Turn to Page 27 and have a look at the pictures.Have a short discussion in pairs and describe what you see to each other.
(Students practise for a moment and then teacher asks some of them to describe the pictures.)
Description of the first picture:
The first picture shows us a terrible scene.In the picture we can see the Nazi soldiers arrest a large group of people.This happened between the year 1933 and 1945.During that period,Adolf Hitler controlled Germany.He invaded some countries and killed as many as twelve million persons,most of whom were Jews,captured soldiers and common people.
Description of the second picture:
The second picture is about the Southern States in the USA,during 1900~1968.Though slaves in the USA were set free in 1865,they didn’t get equal rights until 1965.Before that,they didn’t have the rights to vote and were treated unfairly.The blacks and whites couldn’t go to the same schools.There were separate sections for blacks in public places.
Description of the third picture:
The third picture is about South Africa.In 1990,Mandela was set free and was elected the first black president of South Africa in 1994.Before that,the local people there had no equal rights.They were ruled by the whites and were looked down upon.
T:Now,imagine that there were laws in our country that you wear a sign,and only allowed you to go to special shops,restaurants,and schools or separate parts in parks,on buses,subways or trains because you were different,how would you feel?
S:I would be angry and struggle for equal rights.
T:But what would you do and how would you fight for your equal rights?
S:I’m not sure about this.I think I’ll think about it afterwards.
?Step Ⅲ Fast Reading
T:After you read the passage,I think you will learn a lot from it.Now,read the passage quickly and decide which of the sentences on the screen are true.
(Show the following sentences on the screen and give the students several minutes to finish the task.)
Decide which of the following sentences are true.
1.Martin Luther King,Jr. was born in 1865.
2.Black people refused to take buses for more than 18 months.
3.Black girls could not marry white boys.
4.King spent some time in prison.
5.Martin Luther King,Jr. died of cancer in Washington.
T:Look at the first sentence,please.Is it true?
S:I think it is wrong,because Martin Luther King,Jr. was born in 1929.
T:How about the second sentence?
S:It’s wrong,because black people refused to take buses for 381 days and that is less than 13 months.
T:Very good.Now,who can tell us which of these sentences are correct?
S:I think the third sentence and the fourth sentence are correct.
T:Do you agree with him/her?
Ss:Yes,we do.
T:OK.Now,look at the last sentence.Who’d like to have a try?
S:I’d like to.This sentence is wrong,because he was murdered in 1968 in a hotel in Memphis Tennessee.
T:How do you know this?The text doesn’t tell us where he was murdered.
S:I learnt this from the Internet.Last night I turned on my computer and got a lot of information about him.
T:That’s a good way to get some detailed information.Keep on doing that,you’ll know a lot that you can’t learn from our textbooks.
?Step Ⅳ Reading and Understanding
T:Now,read the text again and discuss the questions on the screen with your partner.
(Show the following on the screen.)
Discuss the following:
1,What was the situation for the blacks in the southern states at that time?
2.Explain in your own words what the first paragraph is about.
3.Martin Luther King,Jr. fought for the civil rights of black people in America.Which civil rights did he want black people to get?
4.King believed that he could reach his goal through peaceful actions,not through violence.Give examples of such peaceful actions.
(Students practise for a few minutes and the teacher may join in their discussion and help them.Finally ask some students to answer the questions one by one.)
Suggested answers:
1.Blacks were not treated equally.The South had its own laws to continue the separation of blacks and whites.Mixed-race marriages were forbidden by law.There were separate sections for blacks in public places.Blacks were not allowed to get into hotels,schools or libraries.Black children were educated in separate schools.Black people had no right to vote.
2.It tells us that thousands of black people marched on Washington D.C.,the capital of the USA in the summer of 1963,when Martin Luther King,Jr. spoke to them at a meeting.His speech?“I have a dream”?spoke out the minds of the black people.Inspired by his speech,people continued to struggle and succeeded in the end.Soon he and his speech became known to the people all over the world.
3.He wanted black people to be treated equally as the whites.Black people should not be separated but should be treated with respect in the same way as other people.They should have the right to vote.
4.In December 1955,King organized a boycott of the bus company and succeeded after 381 days.Later he led a new revolution to improve the housing condition for blacks in Birmingham.In 1963,he led the march on Washington D.C.As a result of that in the following year a new Civil Rights Act was passed and in 1965 a new Voting Right Bill became law.
T:To help you better understand the passage,I will explain some words and expressions to you.Look at the screen,please.
(Show the following on the screen,and explain them to the students.)
Useful words and expressions:
1.forbid
e.g.I forbid you to stay out after midnight.
He forbids smoking during office hours.
2.set an example to
e.g.Tom worked hard and set a good example to his classmates.

They demanded that the right to vote (should) be given to every adult man.
4.achieve
e.g.achieve some victories,success,one’s aims/purpose/goal;
achieve a lot,little,nothing,a great deal,etc.
T:Please read the text again and see if there’s anything that you don’t understand.
(Teacher goes among the students and answers the questions they raise.)
?Step Ⅴ Listening and Reading
T:Now,let’s listen to the tape.I’ll play it twice for you.When I play it for the first time,listen carefully and pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation.When I play it for the second time,you can read after the tape.Then read the text aloud by yourselves.Are you clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s begin.
(Teacher plays the tape and helps the students with their pronunciation.)
?Step Ⅵ Summary and Homework
T:Today,we’ve learnt a text “I have a dream”.From this passage we’ve got a lot of information about a famous freedom fighter?Martin Luther King,Jr.Now,please look at the blackboard.Make notes about him in the listed years and tell his belief and success. (Teacher writes the years on the blackboard and gives the students some time to finish the task.Then asks some students to write their answers on the blackboard.(Cf:The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard.)

?Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision
T:(Greet the whole class as usual.)
In the last period,we read a passage about Martin Luther King,Jr.Have you finished your homework?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s do these sentences one by one.Who will do the first one?
S:Let me have a try.We should fill in “is” in this blank.
T:Does anybody have a different opinion?
S:I think “was” is also correct.
T:Can you explain why?
S:If we fill in “is”,we’re asking about the life at present.If we fill in “was”,we’re asking about the life in the past.
T:Do you agree with him/her?
Ss:Yes,we all think so.
T:Great.Now,let’s do the second sentence.Li Hui,you please read out your answer.
S:What are some of the problems that black people have?
T:Who has a different answer?
S:Can we fill in “were” here?
T:This is a good question.Think it over and explain why.(A moment later)Who can tell us your answer and explain why?
S:Let me try.I think we can’t use “were” here.If you look at the sentence structure carefully,you’ll find that there’s an attributive clause modifying “the problems”,and from the word “have”,we know the clause is talking about “present”.So,I don’t think “were” can be used here.
T:Do you agree?
Ss:Yes,what he/she said is quite right.
T:Great!I couldn’t agree more.
(Deal with the other sentences in the same way.)
Suggested answers:
3.What did/do black people want?

T:Good.Please begin.
(The pair acts out their dialogue.)
Sample dialogue:
(A?a television reporter;B?Martin Luther King,Jr.)
A:Mr King,may I ask you a few questions?
B:Of course.I’d like to answer them.
A:What’s life in the southern states like?
B:It’s much better now.Since the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 and a new Voting Right Bill became law in 1965,we have had the same rights as the whites.I hope it will be like this forever.
A:What are some of the problems that black people have?
B:There are some problems.Their life is harder than the whites’ because they could not go to the same schools as the whites in the past and therefore they can’t get a higher position in the factories and companies.But things are different now.I’m sure they will live a better life in the future.
A:Why did you organize the Alabama bus company boycott?
B:Because the bus company made a black woman give her seat to a white man.When she refused,the police arrested her.That was unfair.
A:Why can’t black people wait a bit longer?
B:We had waited 340 years for our rights!That “wait” had almost always meant “never”.
A:Which Nobel Prize did you win?
B:Oh,that was the year before last.I mean I received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.
A:What did you do with the prize money?
B:I gave the whole of the $54 600 prize to the freedom movement.
A:You are great!
B:Thank you.

T:Do you agree with him/her?Who has different answers?
S:I think the second word should be “forbidden”.We know that the word “forbid” is an irregular verb,and its past participle should be “forbidden”,not “fobidded”.In the third sentence,the word “section” is a countable noun,and here the plural form is needed,so the correct answer should be “sections”.
T:Do you agree with him/her?

?Step Ⅲ Reading
T:(Show the questions on the screen.)Now please read the text again and discuss the questions on the screen with your partner.Later we’ll check the answers together.
Discuss the following questions:
1.“Each age has its own struggle for right.”What does the word “age” mean?
2.What were the main ideas of the famous books about the rights of men and women,which were published in the late 18th to the 19th century?
3.Please describe the rights to vote for women in the 19th and the 20th century.
4.What is the purpose of the organizations that fight for equal rights in modern times?
5.Do you think we should fight for the rights of robots and machines?
(The students read the text and discuss the questions.Then the teacher may ask some of the students to say their answers.)
Suggested answers:
1.The word “age” means “time”,for Chinese “时代”.
2.The main ideas of these books were that all people are brothers and sisters,and that all people should be equal.From then on,a struggle of more than 200 years for equal rights of men and women of all races began.
3.There was a time when women had no rights to vote.In the 19th century,women all over the world began to ask for equal rights.It is New Zealand that is the first country in the world to give women the right to vote in 1893.By 1920,the US,Canada and most European countries allowed the women to vote.
4.They fight for the rights of black people,women,children,people with AIDS/HIV and prisoners.Their purpose is that they ask to be treated with respect,share the rights to work,good housing conditions and education and to be treated equal to other people in all ways.
5.I don’t think so.We should protect all the living things,including plants and animals,because all of them are part of nature.If one of them is not well protected,the balance of nature will be destroyed.That will perhaps cause another living thing to die out.No matter which of them dies out,our nature will lose some of its color.Robots and machines are made by man.We can decide how many of them will be needed,according to their use.If we need more,we can make more.That will not affect the balance of nature.And I think we should protect our oceans and earth,too.

Teaching Procedures:
?Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision
(Greet the whole class as usual.)
T:In the last period,we listened to a song.Can you sing it?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s sing the song together.(Teacher and the students sing the song together.)Very good.You are all good at singing.Have you found out the meaning of it?Guo Li,you please have a try.
S:It means that though John Brown has died,and his body lies there in the grave,our task has not been finished.Inspired by his spirit we will continue it until we succeed.In order to get the slaves free,John Brown devoted his life.But his soul still marches on with us.If the stars in the heaven are looking kindly down,they must see us struggling on until all the slaves are set free.
?Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
T:Very good.Today,we’ll read more about freedom fighters.Turn to Page 27 and have a look at the pictures.Have a short discussion in pairs and describe what you see to each other.
(Students practise for a moment and then teacher asks some of them to describe the pictures.)
Description of the first picture:
The first picture shows us a terrible scene.In the picture we can see the Nazi soldiers arrest a large group of people.This happened between the year 1933 and 1945.During that period,Adolf Hitler controlled Germany.He invaded some countries and killed as many as twelve million persons,most of whom were Jews,captured soldiers and common people.
Description of the second picture:
The second picture is about the Southern States in the USA,during 1900~1968.Though slaves in the USA were set free in 1865,they didn’t get equal rights until 1965.Before that,they didn’t have the rights to vote and were treated unfairly.The blacks and whites couldn’t go to the same schools.There were separate sections for blacks in public places.
Description of the third picture:
The third picture is about South Africa.In 1990,Mandela was set free and was elected the first black president of South Africa in 1994.Before that,the local people there had no equal rights.They were ruled by the whites and were looked down upon.
T:Now,imagine that there were laws in our country that you wear a sign,and only allowed you to go to special shops,restaurants,and schools or separate parts in parks,on buses,subways or trains because you were different,how would you feel?
S:I would be angry and struggle for equal rights.
T:But what would you do and how would you fight for your equal rights?
S:I’m not sure about this.I think I’ll think about it afterwards.
?Step Ⅲ Fast Reading
T:After you read the passage,I think you will learn a lot from it.Now,read the passage quickly and decide which of the sentences on the screen are true.
(Show the following sentences on the screen and give the students several minutes to finish the task.)
Decide which of the following sentences are true.
1.Martin Luther King,Jr. was born in 1865.
2.Black people refused to take buses for more than 18 months.
3.Black girls could not marry white boys.
4.King spent some time in prison.
5.Martin Luther King,Jr. died of cancer in Washington.
T:Look at the first sentence,please.Is it true?
S:I think it is wrong,because Martin Luther King,Jr. was born in 1929.
T:How about the second sentence?
S:It’s wrong,because black people refused to take buses for 381 days and that is less than 13 months.
T:Very good.Now,who can tell us which of these sentences are correct?
S:I think the third sentence and the fourth sentence are correct.
T:Do you agree with him/her?
Ss:Yes,we do.
T:OK.Now,look at the last sentence.Who’d like to have a try?
S:I’d like to.This sentence is wrong,because he was murdered in 1968 in a hotel in Memphis Tennessee.
T:How do you know this?The text doesn’t tell us where he was murdered.
S:I learnt this from the Internet.Last night I turned on my computer and got a lot of information about him.
T:That’s a good way to get some detailed information.Keep on doing that,you’ll know a lot that you can’t learn from our textbooks.
?Step Ⅳ Reading and Understanding
T:Now,read the text again and discuss the questions on the screen with your partner.
(Show the following on the screen.)
Discuss the following:
1,What was the situation for the blacks in the southern states at that time?
2.Explain in your own words what the first paragraph is about.
3.Martin Luther King,Jr. fought for the civil rights of black people in America.Which civil rights did he want black people to get?
4.King believed that he could reach his goal through peaceful actions,not through violence.Give examples of such peaceful actions.
(Students practise for a few minutes and the teacher may join in their discussion and help them.Finally ask some students to answer the questions one by one.)
Suggested answers:
1.Blacks were not treated equally.The South had its own laws to continue the separation of blacks and whites.Mixed-race marriages were forbidden by law.There were separate sections for blacks in public places.Blacks were not allowed to get into hotels,schools or libraries.Black children were educated in separate schools.Black people had no right to vote.
2.It tells us that thousands of black people marched on Washington D.C.,the capital of the USA in the summer of 1963,when Martin Luther King,Jr. spoke to them at a meeting.His speech?“I have a dream”?spoke out the minds of the black people.Inspired by his speech,people continued to struggle and succeeded in the end.Soon he and his speech became known to the people all over the world.
3.He wanted black people to be treated equally as the whites.Black people should not be separated but should be treated with respect in the same way as other people.They should have the right to vote.
4.In December 1955,King organized a boycott of the bus company and succeeded after 381 days.Later he led a new revolution to improve the housing condition for blacks in Birmingham.In 1963,he led the march on Washington D.C.As a result of that in the following year a new Civil Rights Act was passed and in 1965 a new Voting Right Bill became law.
T:To help you better understand the passage,I will explain some words and expressions to you.Look at the screen,please.
(Show the following on the screen,and explain them to the students.)
Useful words and expressions:

?Step Ⅰ Greetings and Revision
T:(Greet the whole class as usual.)
In the last period,we read a passage about Martin Luther King,Jr.Have you finished your homework?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Let’s do these sentences one by one.Who will do the first one?
S:Let me have a try.We should fill in “is” in this blank.
T:Does anybody have a different opinion?
S:I think “was” is also correct.
T:Can you explain why?
S:If we fill in “is”,we’re asking about the life at present.If we fill in “was”,we’re asking about the life in the past.
T:Do you agree with him/her?
Ss:Yes,we all think so.
T:Great.Now,let’s do the second sentence.Li Hui,you please read out your answer.
S:What are some of the problems that black people have?
T:Who has a different answer?
S:Can we fill in “were” here?
T:This is a good question.Think it over and explain why.(A moment later)Who can tell us your answer and explain why?
S:Let me try.I think we can’t use “were” here.If you look at the sentence structure carefully,you’ll find that there’s an attributive clause modifying “the problems”,and from the word “have”,we know the clause is talking about “present”.So,I don’t think “were” can be used here.
T:Do you agree?
Ss:Yes,what he/she said is quite right.
T:Great!I couldn’t agree more.
(Deal with the other sentences in the same way.)
Suggested answers:
3.What did/do black people want?

(The pair acts out their dialogue.)
Sample dialogue:
(A?a television reporter;B?Martin Luther King,Jr.)
A:Mr King,may I ask you a few questions?
B:Of course.I’d like to answer them.
A:What’s life in the southern states like?
B:It’s much better now.Since the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 and a new Voting Right Bill became law in 1965,we have had the same rights as the whites.I hope it will be like this forever.
A:What are some of the problems that black people have?
B:There are some problems.Their life is harder than the whites’ because they could not go to the same schools as the whites in the past and therefore they can’t get a higher position in the factories and companies.But things are different now.I’m sure they will live a better life in the future.
A:Why did you organize the Alabama bus company boycott?
B:Because the bus company made a black woman give her seat to a white man.When she refused,the police arrested her.That was unfair.
A:Why can’t black people wait a bit longer?
B:We had waited 340 years for our rights!That “wait” had almost always meant “never”.
A:Which Nobel Prize did you win?
B:Oh,that was the year before last.I mean I received the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.
A:What did you do with the prize money?
B:I gave the whole of the $54 600 prize to the freedom movement.

T:Do you agree with him/her?Who has different answers?
S:I think the second word should be “forbidden”.We know that the word “forbid” is an irregular verb,and its past participle should be “forbidden”,not “fobidded”.In the third sentence,the word “section” is a countable noun,and here the plural form is needed,so the correct answer should be “sections”.
T:Do you agree with him/her?

(Three minutes later)

T:Do you agree with him/her?
Ss:Yes.
T:Good.Now,who knows the answer to the second question?
S:Let me have a try.Samuel Butler wrote two chapters about the rights of animals and the right of vegetables in a novel in 1872.
T:Very good.Please sit down.
?Step Ⅲ Reading
T:(Show the questions on the screen.)Now please read the text again and discuss the questions on the screen with your partner.Later we’ll check the answers together.
Discuss the following questions:
1.“Each age has its own struggle for right.”What does the word “age” mean?
2.What were the main ideas of the famous books about the rights of men and women,which were published in the late 18th to the 19th century?
3.Please describe the rights to vote for women in the 19th and the 20th century.
4.What is the purpose of the organizations that fight for equal rights in modern times?
5.Do you think we should fight for the rights of robots and machines?
(The students read the text and discuss the questions.Then the teacher may ask some of the students to say their answers.)
Suggested answers:
1.The word “age” means “time”,for Chinese “时代”.
2.The main ideas of these books were that all people are brothers and sisters,and that all people should be equal.From then on,a struggle of more than 200 years for equal rights of men and women of all races began.
3.There was a time when women had no rights to vote.In the 19th century,women all over the world began to ask for equal rights.It is New Zealand that is the first country in the world to give women the right to vote in 1893.By 1920,the US,Canada and most European countries allowed the women to vote.
4.They fight for the rights of black people,women,children,people with AIDS/HIV and prisoners.Their purpose is that they ask to be treated with respect,share the rights to work,good housing conditions and education and to be treated equal to other people in all ways.
5.I don’t think so.We should protect all the living things,including plants and animals,because all of them are part of nature.If one of them is not well protected,the balance of nature will be destroyed.That will perhaps cause another living thing to die out.No matter which of them dies out,our nature will lose some of its color.Robots and machines are made by man.We can decide how many of them will be needed,according to their use.If we need more,we can make more.That will not affect the balance of nature.And I think we should protect our oceans and earth,too.
T:That’s a very good topic.You can continue discussing it after class,if you like.It will be very interesting.
?Step Ⅳ Reading Aloud and Practice
T:Now,let’s listen to the tape.I’ll play it twice.The first time I play the tape,listen carefully.The second time I play it,you can read after the tape.After that,you read the text aloud,paying much attention to the pronunciation and intonation.
