Warming up ⑴ Warming up by definingGood morning, class. This period we are going to take Unit 1, Book 2. The topic is Cultural relics. But first, I’d like to ask: A. What kind of old things can be called cultural relics? B. Are all the old things cultural relics?C. What is the definition and classification of cultural relics?D. To whom do cultural relics belong?A. Cultural relics are physical remainders of what different peoples valued in the past and continue to value now. It can also be said that cultural relics are more than works of art, they are symbols of history and the people who lived in the past.B. No, not all the old objects are cultural relics.C. Each kind of relics preserves some aspect of cultural heritage and each relic is still a unique cultural expression and contributions.D. In a larger sense, it can be said that all the cultural relics belong to all peoples and whole societies, not a certain individual.⑵Warming up by presentingHi, everyone. Let’s look at the screen. I’ll present you some pictures. They are all about cultural relics. Some of them are cultural sites. Some of them are natural sites. Only an international professional organization from UN has the right to decide on and name them. Who’d like to tell the class something about them?Cultural sites:The Great wall; The Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Beijing andShenyang; The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors; TheMogao Cave. Natural sites: The Jiu Zhai Gou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area; The Huang Long Scenic andHistioric Interest Area. The following are cultural and natural sites: Mount Taishan; MountHuangshan; Mount WuYi.⑶Warming up by discussingNow, boys and girls, I met a “moral dilemma”. That means I must make a choice between the interests of the family and the interests of the society. Things are like this: My old granny happened to find an ancient vase under a tree in the earth of our garden. It’s so beautiful and special. Now, my family fell into a moral dilemma. Can you help us to make a decision? A: What should we do?B: Can we keep it for ourselves or report it to the government? C: Have you come across such a situation — to make a difficult choice? 2. Pre-reading by looking and sayingLook at the photos here. What do you know about the substance of “amber”? What do knowabout the cultural relics “the Amber Room”? “amber” is a semi-precious stone used in jewelry and art world. Amber is really the fossil form of resin from trees. It has got its shape after a process that has taken millions of years to complete. Trees in very ancient forests produced this resin, which slowly dropped from trees and was buried. Trees use resin to protect themselves from disease and harm caused by insects and fungi. The Amber Room is a room built by lots of ambers. It was a gift given to Peter the Great, the King of Russia, by the King of Prussia, Frederick William I. It was given the name because almost thousand tons of natural ambers were used to make it. But during the second world war in 1941, the Nazi German army secretly stole the Amber Room and sent boxes of the Amber Room on a train to a German city. After that, what really happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.3.
