Step 2 Revision
T:In the last period,we read a passage about Elias. From the passage,we've got a lot of information about racial discrimination in South Africa and Nelson Mandela. First,let's go over the passage. I'd like to ask you two questions.
(Show the following questions on the screen.)
Q1:How did the ANC Youth League fight the government?
Q2:What can we learn from the text about Nelson Mandela?
T:Who'd like to have a try?Tom?
S1:Yes. At first,the ANC Youth League fought against the government in a peaceful way. But when they failed,they began to use violence.
T:Well done. Who'd like to answer the second question?
S2:I have a try. I think we can learn from Mandela the qualities of bravery,persistence,kindness and determination.
T:Very good. Now suppose you are Elias and your partner is a newspaper reporter. He is interviewing you. Please work in pairs.
(Give several minutes for students to prepare.)
T:Now,I'd like a pair to act out your dialogue. Which pair volunteers?
