[Justification: This step is to practise students’ abilities of skimming and scanning. At the same time, make them understand what is a fact.]
Step 2. Listening (20min)
1.
T:Read a man’s story about what happened to the Amber Room quickly. Do you think it is a fact or an opinion?
S:I think it is an opinion that what is in boxes is gold or the Amber Room because Jan Hasek did not see what was in the boxes. He listened to other people’s ideas of what might have been inside. So his evidence is an opinion.
2.Fill in the forms.
Room and it has been the subject of short films and books. Even now, several teams of treasure hunters continue to search for it. So the so called eyewitnesses are very important. Now we will hear another two people talk about what happened to the Amber Room. [Justification: This step is to practise students’abilities of grasping information when listening. ]
Step3. Speaking(14min)
T: Now we will use the information in the former section, and discuss in pairs which person gave the best evidence. While discussing, make use of the expressions given. Now read the expressions and tell me which are used to ask for opinion and which give opinions.
Give the students some time to do this and get familiar with the expressions, and then do the next task:
T: What is the best evidence?
S1: The best evidence is factual and is given by a person who is believable.
T: Right. But how can we know which eyewitness is most believable?
S2: In my opinion, the most believable eyewitness is the one who has nothing to gain from telling a lie.
T: That’s quite right .Now, let’s have a discussion in pairs and decide which person gave the best evidence.
A Sample discussion:
A: Do you have any idea about which person gave the best evidence?
B: I’m not sure, but in my opinion, I think Anna Petrov gave the best evidence.
A: How do you know that?
B: I think she is telling the truth.
A: Are you sure that?
B: Yes. It can be proved that she gave the best evidence because she has no selfish reason for saying what she has said.
Then deal with Exercise 2.
T: Now you all have your own choice. Write down a short list of reasons for your choice. Begin with this:
It can be proved that _______ because _________.
After finishing the two exercises, teacher can ask the students to share their ideas with another group and choose the answer with the best reasons. At last present the discussion to the class. Suggested answer:
1) Jan Hasek is less believable because he owns a little restaurant near the mine. If the search stopped, his business would suffer. Hans Braun is also less believable because he is working for a company trying to find the ship which carried the treasures in the Baltic Sea. Of the three eyewitnesses, only Anna Petrov has no selfish reason for saying what she has said. In particular, she is not involved in any current effort to find the treasure. Therefore, she is the most
believable.
2) The truth is not easy to know, especially when all the facts are not known. Most of these events also happened a long time ago. Perhaps people cannot remember things so clearly either.
I think that all of these eyewitnesses have said useful things. However, only Anna Petrov has no reason to lie. She is not getting anything from those who are searching now for the Amber Room. In my opinion, she is the most believable.
[Justification: This step is to practise students’ speaking. At the same time, they need to learn how to asking for opinions and giving opinions.]
