T: Yesterday, we talked something about art and architecture, right?
S: yes.
T: we mentioned two styles of buildings, what are they?
S: ancient buildings and modern buildings.
T: yes. They are two different styles of architecture. Today, we’ll learn more about them, esp. the modern architecture.
Step2. Talk about ancient buildings
T: Modern buildings develoo from ancient buildings , right?
S: yes.
T: so, before we talk about modern architecture, we should first see what ancient buildings are like, right?
S: yes.
T: but, can we find many ancient buildings around us nowadays?
S: no.
T: yes. There are only little of them. So I have prepared some pictures for you. Let’s see them together.
(Teacher walks around the classroom and show pictures)
T: very beautiful, right?
S: yes.
T: just now, we were looking the ancient buildings as a whole, now, let’s look closely at the parts of them. First, please look at the doors and windows. In front of the doors, there are different statues, right?
S: yes.
T: and let’s see here. The windows have different shapes and the doors are round, right?
S:yes
T: let’s see this one. What’s the shape of the door?
S: like a moon.
T: yes. It’s in shape of the moon, and the window is round, like the sun. So, they are called “日月窗”. Do you think it is very vivid?
S: yes.
T: and here, this window, in the shape of a book, right?
S: yes.
T: so, windows of ancient buildings have diferent shapes. What about that of modern buildings? Do they have different shapes?
S: no.
T: yes. They are all square.
T: ok. Let’s see next. They are pillars. There are two obvious features of ancient buildings. One is that they have pillars, do you know what’s another?
S: …..roof.
T: yes. Some ss have got it. It’s roof. We’ll deal with it later. Let’s see the pillars first. The pillars of ancient buildings always have a base. We call it “base of pillars”. Let’s look at them. They are carved into different shapes, right?
S: yes.
T: another feature of ancient buildings is that they have roofs that are very different from that of modern buildings.
(continue to show pictures.)
T: ancient buildings are so beautiful. When you enter them, what do you feel?
S: ….
T: do you feel cold? 冷冰冰?
S: no
T: no. We’ll feel warm. And we’ll also feel natural and friendly, 还会感觉自然和亲切,对吗?
S: yes.
T: and what about the materials? What are they made of?
S: stone, wood….
T: yes. They are made of stone, wood and bricks.
Step3. talk about modern buildings
T: ok. This is the ancient buildings. What about modern buildings?
S:….
T: look around at our classroom. Is our classroom a kind of modern buildings? Do you think it is beautiful?
S: no.
T: yes. It’s not beautiful. All white walls,right? Very boring. And look at the windows. Do they have different shapes?
S: no.
T: yes. They are all in the same shape. And on the windows, are there any decorations?
S: no.
T: What are they made of? (knock at the windows)
S: glass, …

S: no.
T: yes. We feel cold here. And it is not beautiful and not friendly. Right?
S: yes.
Step4. compare ancient buildings with modern buildings.
Activity1: make clear the key point of modern architecture
T: ok, just now, we said the ancient buildings are beautiful, natural and friendly, but the modern buildings are not beautiful, unnatural and unfriendly. So why do we live in the modern buildings nowadays?
S: they are strong , convenient….
T: yes, good, anything else?
S: …..
T: actually, the most important reason is that modern buildings are much more practical. Pratical means useful, 有用的,实用的。 For example, some doors of ancient buildings are round, while that of modern buildings are square and spacious, right?
S: yes.
T: do you think 5 or 6 people can walk through that round-shaped door at the same time?
S: no.
T: yes. They can’t , or it is very difficult for them, but the door of our classroom can hold 5 or 6 persons at the same time, right?
S: yes.
T: so, practicality is the core of modern architecture. 实用性是现代建筑的核心。 Do you understand now?
S: yes.
T: this idea was put up by some modern architects, and now we call it modernism. So we can say modernism means practicality. Are you clear?
S: yes.
T: ok. Good. Now, let’s see our text book. It also tells us something about modernism. Open your books to page 19. let’s look at para.2 first. Read this paragraph and answer two questions on the slide.

S: in the 1920s.
T: good. And what is modernism? Have you found the answer?
S: …..
T: ok, maybe this question is a bit difficult. Let’s see it together. Let’s disintegrate the long sentence on the book first. Who invented modernism?
S: a group of architects.
T: good. So what did they want to do ?
S: they wanted to change society with buildings that went agaimst people’s feeling o f beautiful.
T: excellent. Now, we’ve got our answer.
(slide1 show answers)
T: I say modernism in architecture, because modernism is a far-reaching idea. It had effects on many fields, not only in architecture. Are you clear?
S: yes.
Activity2. compare ancient buildings with modern buildings
T: good. This is modernism. Just now, we’ve compared ancient buildings with modern buildings, right? With pictures, we talked about ancient buildings and with our classroom, we talked about modern buildings. So please read paragraph 3,4, and 5, and then finish this table on the slide. You can discuss with your partner.

S:…..
T: yes. We feel warm and friendly. And in modern buildings we feel …..hard and unfriendly. Good.
T: ok, what’s the relation with nature? Ancient buildings stand much closer to nature and modern buildings look unnatural, right?
S: yes.
Step5. some language points
T: Good job. Just now, we have read para.2 to 5. Now, let’s see the language points in these 4 paragraphs. First let’s look at para.3, “while in traditional architecture…..”, what does “while” mean here?
………
(slide2)
T: then let’s see what does “equal” mean here.
T: and let’s see another word in para.4, “impress”.
Step6. homework

T: Well, so far, we have learned all the paragraphs except one, right? That’s the first para. I leave it to the last because it is the conclusion of the whole text . now let’s see the first para. there are 3 sentences in this paragraph and give us three points about archtecture. The first sentence, architecture looks at the man-made living environment. 建筑学所关注的是人造的生活环境. So what is man-made living environment? 什么是人造的生活环境呢?
S:….
T: opposite to man-made environment is the natural living environment, right?
S:….yes.
T: is there architecture in natural living environment?
S: no.
T: so architecture only exists in man-made living environment. Actually, the man-made living environment here just refers to cities. We can say that everthing in cities are more or less changed or made by man. Right?
S: yes.
T: so the first sentence tells us the point that architecture relates with cities. And the second sentence relates architecture with what?
S: culture.
T: yes. It says that architecture can express the culture of a country. We have said that the Temole of Heaven expresses the ancient belief of “heaven is round and earth is square” right?

Period5. Grammar and Integrating Skills
I Teaching Objectives:
1. Enable the students to master the grammar in this unit.
2. Enable the students to know something about new uses to old buildings and stimulate their interest in art and architecture.
II Teaching Methods: 演绎法
III Key Points and Difficult Points:
Key Points: Enable the ss to master the usage of past participle used as object complement.
Difficult Points: Enable the students to know more about architecture and master some words and phrases.
IV Teaching Aids: slide
V Teaching Procedures:
Step1. Greeting and Lead-in
T: nice to meet you again. A long week of holiday. Do you find it meaningful?
S: yes, no
T; no? yes? It doesn’t matter. It has gone, right? It has gone. The most important thing is what you will do now and in the future. And now, we’ll do some meaningful things. Let’s continue our unit3. art and architecture. We have done our listening work, reading, and word study. So today we will see the most exciting thing, grammar. In unit 2 we have learned past participle used ad attributive and predictive, in this unit we’ll see past participle used as object complement. 上个单元我们学了过去分词做定语和表语,这个单元我们来看看过去分词做宾语补足语的情况。
(write on blackboard)
Step2. Grammar
T: So first let’s see what is past participle briefly. 首先让我们来看看什么是过去分词呢。过去分词,从形式上说就是动词的过去分词形式,我们记动词的时候会看看它的过去式和过去分词形式是什么如果是不规则的,我们总要好好记一记,对吗?一般我们用done来表示过去分词。那么从内容上说,它又表示什么含义呢?过去分词一般有两种含义,一是表示被动,二是表示完成。因为我们说done, 的形式有be done,这是被动语态的形式,还有have/had done, 是完成式的形式,对吗?好现在,让我们来看看什么是宾语补足语呢?我们中文里说,发现什么怎么样了,想要什么怎么样,看到什么怎么样,这里的什么是宾语,而怎么样了则是补语,英语里也是一样的。我们说宾语有当介词的宾语也有当动词的宾语,对不对?那么既然宾补是跟在宾语后面的它当然也有当介词的宾补和当动词的宾补了。我们先来看看过去分词做动词的宾补,就是动词do+n.+done的形式。能用过去分词做宾补的动词不多,常见的有这么几个:have, get, find, want,这几个是最最常见的,有些甚至已经成了固定词组搭配,比如说have sth done, get sth done, find sth done 都是很常见的词组。 其他这样的动词还有:make, keep, hear, see, watch,leave, feel 等。好,这是过去分词做动词的宾语,我们等会再看例句,先来看看过去分词做介词的宾语是怎么回事,这一点很简单,它只做一个介词with的宾语,就是with+n.+done的形式。好现在我们来看一些例句。
(show the slide)’
先来看过去分词做动词的宾语,这里的句子可抄可不抄,书上这样的例句也很多,关键是把它理解了,过去分词做宾补究竟是怎么一回事。
(explain the example sentences)
好,这是过去分词做动词的宾补,都明白了吗?
S: yes.
T:好,再来看看过去分词做介词宾补的情况,请大家把这两句例句抄一下。
(explain the example sentences)
Step3. Do the exercises
Activity1. Exercise1
T: ok, are you clear about how past participle uese as object complemet?
S: yes.
T: good. Now, let’s do some exercises. Open your books to page 22. do exercise 1, the matching work, 2 minutes.
(ask one group to give me their answers)

T: you’ve done it very well. Let’s move on to exercise2, finish it in 3 minutes.
(ask another group to give me their answers and ask their deskmates to translate some sentences)
Activity3. Exercise3.
T; good job. Ok, let’s do exercise together. How would you like to have your room decorated?
(first explain the phrases below and then do it together orally)
Step4. Integrating Skills
Activity1.Reading----A second life for factory 798
T: ok. This is our grammar, past paticiple used as object complement. Now let’s see another reading text on page23. A second life for factory 798. look at the title first. A second life for factory 798, 798厂的新生. Well, it is the second life. So it must have a first life, right? So what are they? 它的第一次和第二次生命各是什么呢?The first life of factory 798 is an army factory, and it was built in the 1950s. but some years later, the army factory moved to other places, so the tactory 798 was left empty. Then some artists asked if they could move in. And finally, they moved in. they hold concerts, parties and dance festivals there. So now or the second life for factory 798 is an art center. This is the story of factory 798. and it is also an example of giving old buildings new uses. 旧楼新用的一个例子. So this atricle can be divided into three parts. The first paragraph, the last paragraph, and paragraphs between them. The first paragraph tells us that there are many old buildings in the world, some are left empty and some are pulled down. The second part tells us the story of factory 798, how it changes from an empty factory to a succssful art center.. and the last part says that there are experiments of this kind in other large cities around the world and it is a great way to save the architecture from the past.
Well, because our time is not very rich, we only mention it briefly. Here are some important phrases, please listen carefully and underline them on your books.
(give some phrases: no longer, pull down, remind sb of sth, set sth aside, besides.)
Activity2. Writing.
T: the writing work requires us to find an empty building and measure its high and width, then make a plan on how to change it to an art centre. I think this project is huge, right?
S: yes.
T: so we’ll not do it in the class. If you are interested in it, do it after class.
Step5. check the exercises on the workbook.
T: a week ago, I asked you to do exercises on page 96 and 97, right?
S: yes.
T: so let’s check it together. Let’s dook at exercise1 and 2 of vocabulary on page 96. 这两个练习是有关词的构成,第一题是一个独立词加上一个词缀,我们把这样所构成的词叫派生词,第二题是两个独立词组合在一起,我们把这样所构成的词叫做复合词。
Now let’s see exercise1 first.
(check the answers together.)
ok, good, you have done well. Let’s move on to exercise2.

Slide2
A letter to Mrs Cai about decorating our classroom:
Dear Mrs Chen, Oct. 9th, 2004
Although all of our classmates feel very happy in our classroom, I think the classroom will be more beautiful if more decorations are made.
Our walls are all white. I think we should put something on the wall. For example, a calligraphy of “Knowledge is power.” Can encourage us to learn more. We can put it on the wall that is between the windows, so that as soon as we open the door of our classroom we can see it. And we need not buy it. We can have some student write it. I know…..writes very well. Besides, we can put some flowers in the corner because it can enrich our lives and make our classroom more lively.
Yours sincerely/faithfully,
