Post-reading activities

Use the following activities to help students deepen their understanding of RealCine and develop their speaking ability as well.

Organize students into groups of four. Ask them to hold a group discussion. Imagine what special effect they hope to have if they can see a popular film like 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' in RealCine.

Do you think watching a Harry Potter film in RealCine is more exciting and interesting than in an ordinary cinema? Why or why not?

After the discussion, ask each group to make an advertisement poster for this imaginary virtual reality film. Then they may make an oral presentation of their advertisements in class. Every student can vote and choose the best one from all the advertisements. If possible, ask them to state their reasons for their choice.

Organize students into groups of six. Ask them to write an introduction to ReaICine. In the introduction, they may state their own opinions on RealCine.

Organize students into two groups. Ask them to hold a debate activity.

Those who support virtual reality believe that, with this technology, people can do almost everything, even things that cannot be realized in normal life. We don't need to travel any more or spend so much time with friends any more. Virtual reality can provide any necessary features that we need itl our life. Others insist that, real life and interpersonal communication should never be replaced by imaginary scenes. People should take off the headsets and experience the real life themselves. What do you think of these two opinions? State your reasons.

If time permits, ask students to do Parts A1 and A2 on page 96 in their Workbook, so they will be more familiar with the text and the words and expressions learnt in this part. Or they can do the two exercises after class as homework.

Part F aims at consolidating students'speaking ability. Ask students to read the instructions for Part F and discuss wit their partners the questions closely related to new technology. Encourage students to share their opinions and report their answers to the class.

Ask students first to read Part A and then to do Part B in the Writing section of this unit on page 103 in thei Workbook. The passage in Part A is a sample. After reading it, they will know how to write an article about the future school in Part B.
