I’m sorry to interrupt you but how could they live here? We have been excavating layers of ash almost six meters thick, which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter.Yes, indeed, as the botanical analyses have shown us, all the fields around here used to be part of a large shallow lake. That’s why they are called hunters and gatherers.2. Ability goalsEnable the students to tell the differences between modern people and Peking man and learn how Peking man lived their lives.3. Learning ability goalsHelp the students learn how to tell the differences between modern people and Peking man and learn how Peking man lived their lives.Step Ⅰ RevisionCheck the homework.The students will show their information about Zhoukoudian Caves in the following steps.Step Ⅱ Lead-inT: In the last period, we learned about the life of ancient Egypt. But what about the life of ancient Chinese? Look at the picture on page 37, and guess what it is.S: It is a skullcap.T: Can you guess whose skullcap it may be?S: Peking man’s skullcap.T: Yes, you are right. Now you are given 3 minutes to discuss and imagine what Peking Man might have done and used thousands of years ago. Then compare it with the life of modern people.3 minutes later.S1: Peking Man might have lived in caves of rocks and trees, while modern people live in modern buildings which are huge, like boxes with flat roofs, sharp corners and glass walls.S2: Peking Man might have used natural furniture made of stone or wood, while modern people use beautiful furniture with lots of ornaments, mostly made of wood or otherspecial materials.S3: Peking man might have got entertainment from nature or family get-together, while modern people can have a good time by watching TV, surfing the Internet and traveling.Step Ⅲ ReadingAfter listening.T: Now tell me what you have known about Zhoukoudian Caves?S1: Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 km southwest of Beijing. The Peking Man Site is just on the west side of Zhoukoudian Village.S2: In December 1929, a Chinese archaeologist named Pei Wenzhong discovered a complete skull of “Peking Man” on Dragon Bone Hill northwest of Zhoukoudian, in the southwest suburbs of Beijing. Later, archaeologists unearthed 40-odd individually fossilized skeletons of “Peking Man”, male, female, old and young, all at the same site. Zhoukoudian, therefore, became the most common site for human remains with the most abundant fossils in the world. The discovery pushed the history of Beijing’s civilization back to some 600,000 years. These fossilized remains prove that “Peking Man” was primitive man in anevolutionary process from ancient ape to modern man, and is the ancestor of the Chinese nation.S3: In 1987, the Zhoukoudian caves were listed as one of the world cultural heritage sites.SkimmingThis is an individual work. Ask the students to skim the text and write down what the text is about and the three stages of the archaeologist’s part of the dialogue.T: First, I’d like you to skim the dialogue and then write down what the text is about and the three stages of the archaeologist’s part of the dialogue.Two minutes later, check the answers with the whole class. S1: An archaeologist is showing a group of students from England around the Zhoukoudian Caves and telling them something about the Caves.S2: Stage 1 is about homes of Peking man in Zhou-koudian Caves, where they live, how they keep warm, cook food and scare wild animals away.ScanningAsk the students to read the text and get the main idea of the dialogue. And then ask them to write down the three ways in which the life of early people differs from modernones. Ask them to work in pairs and discuss the question.Step Ⅳ Post-readingAsk the students to fill in the chart on the life and habits of Peking man on page 37 and compare it with the list they made in the pre-reading. What differences are there?Give the students 3 minutes to discuss their conclusion. Then check the answers.Sample answers:There are many similarities. But Peking Man also constructed fires by which they kept warm, cooked food and scared wild animals away. They used needles made of bone. Besides, they wore necklace made of animal bones or shells. They took part in trade activities. And they killed animals for food.Step Ⅴ Summary and homeworkT: Today we learned about Zhoukoudian Caves and the life of Peking Man. Do you think it is important for us to know about them? Why?S1: Yes, the following fact shows that it is very important: Zhoukoudian Caves were formally inscribed on the “World Heritage List” in December 1987 at the eleventh session of UNESCO World Heritage Committee. The inscription ofthe Peking Man Site on the World Heritage List confirms the exceptional and universal value of the cultural site, which requires protection for the benefit of all humanity. The site is therefore not only of China, but also of the world as a whole.T: Good. Now today’s homework: 1) Go over the text; 2) Write a brief introduction to the Zhoukoudian Caves.Period 3-4 Language studyTeaching goals1. Target languageGrammar: Present perfect continuous tense.2. Ability goalsEnable the students to use the present perfect continuous tense.3. Learning ability goalsHelp the students learn how to use the present perfect continuous tense.Teaching important & difficult pointsHow to use the present perfect continuous tense. Teaching methodsExplanation and practice.Teaching aidsA projector and a computer.Teaching procedures & waysStep Ⅰ RevisionCheck the homework. Let some students read their work.A sample version:A brief introduction to the Zhoukoudian Caves Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 km southwest of Beijing In 1928, Dr C. C. Young, a famous Chinese paleontologist, and Wenzhong Pei, a young Chinese geologist joined the excavation. Two lower jaws of Peking Man were unearthed in this year. To make the excavation more successful, Dr Weng and Dr Black estab lished “Cenozoic Research Laboratory” in 1929. The Peking Man Site also provides the more precise scientific data for the study of the evolution, behaviour. On the western side of Zhoukoudian Village, there are two parallel hills. The one on the east is lower and called Dragon-bone Hill. Zhoukoudian is a relic of primitive culture, 48 kilometers southwest of downtown Beijing, where Longgushan(dragon skeleton mountain) is standing. Several decades ago, local farmers mined limestone in Zhoukoudian, came upon some bone fossils and called them “the Dragon Bones”. Zhoukoudian became known as “Dragon Bone Mountain”. Drugstores purchased the bonesas a medical ingredient. The news about the “magic bones” drew attention of scientists. In 1929 these limestone caves became world famous with the discovery of a skull and two teeth dating back 200,000 to 500,000 years. They were named Peking man.The historical and cultural value of the Zhoukoudian site has been acknowledged by its listing as a World Heritage Site in December 1987 at the eleventh session of UNESCO.Step Ⅱ Lead-inAsk the students to point out the sentences that contain the structure as in “We have been excavating here for many years...”Sample sentences:1. We have been finding the bones of tigers and bears in the caves and we think these were their most dangerous enemies.2. We have been excavating layers of ash almost six meters thick, which suggests that they might have kept the fire burning all winter.3. Yes, indeed, as the botanical analyses have been specifically showing us, all the fields around here used to be part of a large shallow lake.T: What is the same structure in these sentences?S: “have/ has been doing...”T: Yes, in this unit, we will learn “have/has been doing sth.” That is the present perfect continuous tense.Step Ⅲ ExplanationPresent Perfect Continuous[HAS / HA VE] + [BEEN] + [V+ing]Examples:I have been waiting here for two hours.She has only been studying English for two years.Note: When you are using a verb tense with more than one part such as Present Perfect Continuous (has been studying), adverbs often come between the first part and the second part (has only been studying).Use 1 Duration from the Past until NowT: We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. “for five minutes”, “for two weeks”, and “since Tuesday” are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous. Look at the following examples.Show the following.They have been talking for the last hour.She has been working at that company for three years. James has been teaching at the University since June.Use 2 Recently, LatelyT: You can use the Present Perfect Continuous without a duration such as “for five minutes”, “for two weeks”, and “since Tuesday”. Without the durations, the tense gives a more general meaning of “lately”. We often use the words “lately” or “recently” in the sentence to strengthen this meaning. Now read these examples.Show the following.Recently, I have been feeling really tired.She has been watching too much television lately.Mary has been feeling a little depressed.ImportantT: Remember that the Present Perfect Continuous has the meaning of “lately” or “recently.” If the Present P erfect Continuous is used in a question such as “Have you been feeling alright?”, it suggests that the person looks sick or unhealthy. A question such as “Have you been smoking?” suggests that you can smell the smoke on the person. Using this tense in a question suggests you can see, smell, hear, or feel the results of the action. It is possible to insult someone by using this tense incorrectly.Important: Non-Continuous Verbs / Mixed VerbsT: It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. To express the idea of Present Perfect Continuous with these exception verbs, you must use Present Perfect. Here are some examples.Show the following.Sam has been having his car for two years. (Not Correct) Sam has had his car for two years. (Correct)Active / Passive Present Perfect ContinuousExamples:Recently, John has been doing the work. (Active) Recently, work has been being done by John. (Passive) Note: Present Perfect Continuous is rarely used in its passive form.Step Ⅳ ConsolidationShow these exercises on the screen.1. Hi, Tracy, you look tired.I’m tired. I ____ in the living room all day.A. p aintedB. had paintedC. h ave been paintingD. have painted2. There is so much snow these days, isn’t there?Yes, it ____ for a few days.A. w as snowingB. has been snowingC. h ad been snowingD. snowed3.

B 5.CStep Ⅴ PracticeAsk the students to work in pairs, and take turns to read the statement and turn it into a question using the present perfect continuous tense.1. S1: Sam has just finished learning to fly an airplane on six-month course. (How long)S2: How long have you been learning to fly an airplane,Sam?2. S1: He swam till he felt very tired. He has just stepped out of the swimming pool.(How along)S2: How long has he been swimming in the swimming pool?3. S1: Sally and Zhou Xin have been busy all day.

Students are asked to finish them after class. And ask the students to learn useful words and expressions by heart and practice them. Finish exercises 1 and 2 on pages 40 and 79.Period 5-6 Integrating skillsTeaching goals1. Target languagea. look ahead, accelerate, arrest, dizzy, relief, eyebrow, cheekbone arrowhead, axe, division, affection, affectionate, patient, skilful, exhaustingb. If only she had looked ahead and planned better!She could see her mother and aunts preparing the meat of deer and pig over the five.2. Ability goalsEnable the students to describe the life of early people.3. Learning ability goalsHelp the students learn how to describe early people’s life. Teaching important & difficult pointsEnable the students to know more about the early people’s life and describe it.Teaching methodsTask-based teaching method, reading and discussion. Teaching aidsA recorder, a projector and a computer.Teaching procedures & waysStep Ⅰ RevisionCheck the homework. Ask the students to recite some useful words and expressions.Step Ⅱ Lead-inT: In the previous period, we learned something about the life of Peking man. Peking Man life is part of our ancient ancestors. What about the general ancestors’ life? Now turn to page 43 and look at the pictures and think what these early people are doing?S1: Some are preparing food.S2: One is making tools by sharpened stone tools and scraper.T: Good. From the picture, we can learn something about early people’s life. Now read the passage and find out what the life was like.Step Ⅲ ReadingPlay the tape for the students to listen. At the same time, the students are asked to find the answers to the following questions.1. Which jobs did Dahu do?2. Which jobs did Lala do?3. Who works cooperatively and who does tasks alone?4. Who does the most dangerous tasks?5. Where does the danger come from?After listening to the tape, the students discuss the abovequestions in groups and then try to find the answers to the above questions.Sample answers:1. To make tools, to catch fish, to cut up the meat, to scrape the fish, to welcome the guests.2. To collect nuts and fruit, to prepare the meat over the fire.3. Both men and women work cooperatively. For example, Lala’s mother and aunts were preparing the meat of deer and pig over the fire. Men do tasks alone.4. Men do the most dangerous tasks.5. The danger comes from the wild animals.Step Ⅳ Post-readingT: From the reading passage, we can see that long ago men and women had quite separate responsibilities. In groups discuss what the possible work division was between men and women at that time.After a few minutes, check the answers.Sample answers:Men’s tasks: making tools, fishing, making fire, protecting the family from wild animals, cutting up meat.Women’s tasks: collecting nuts and fruit, making and sewing clothes, looking after baby, preparing food, doinghousework.T: Now look closely at the tasks above and discuss which adjectives best describe each of them. Give your reasons. Sample answers:adjectives best describe the women:caring, affectionate, safe, co-operativeadjectives best describe the men:protective, dangerous, patient, individual, exhaustingS1: The fact that when Lala sat down abruptly, she was scooped up by her sister shows women were caring. Women were safe because they usually stayed inside the caves preparing food over the fire.S2: When men went out fishing and hunting, women stayed inside preparing food. So they were both co-operative.S3: When Dahu went back with fish over his shoulder, and took the stone scrapers from Lala, he smiled and went outside the cave. From Dahu’s behavior, we can infer men were affectionate.S4: From the descriptions about Dahu, such as “carried”, “smiled”, “looked carefully”, “went to a corner”, “pulled out more too ls”, “chose one large stone”, “began to hit...”, we can see men were patient, and often did individual work. They did so many things and their work was dangerous and exhausting.…T: Good work. We often use adjectives to describe things and people. If we have two or more adjectives, how can you arrange these adjectives? Look at the following exercise: Show the following.What surprised him most happened ____ Sunday morning.A. in a cold rainyB. on a cold rainyC. in a rainy coldD. on a rainy coldT: Which will you choose? If there are more adjectives, what will be the order? Now look at the following chart.

AStep Ⅴ HomeworkPractice using two or more adjectives to describe the Sanxingdui Ruins objects on page 44.Period 7-8 Integrating skillsTeaching goals1. Target languagehint, hut, archaeological discovery, seal, marvelous, insignia, intestines2. Ability goalsEnable the students to write two paragraphs solving two archaeological problems.3. Learning ability goalsHelp the students learn how to write two paragraphs solving two archaeological problems.Teaching important pointsHow to write two paragraphs solving two archaeological problems.Teaching difficult pointsLearn to solve two archaeological problems.Teaching methodsListening, writing and discussion.Teaching aidsA recorder, a projector and a computer.Teaching procedures & waysStep Ⅰ RevisionCheck the homework. Ask the students to show their work.A sample version:The first picture is Bronze Sacred Tree. The whole height of the sacred tree is 395 cm. There are three kinds of fruit onevery branch, including peaches. The sacred tree in Sanxingdui symbolizes Fishing and Room, which is considered to be connected with the Heaven and the Earth. The second one is Bronze Animal-face Image and the third one is a bird-shaped ornament.The faces are almost the same: all with sword-shaped eyebrows, chestnut eyes, towering noses and open mouths; but the hairstyles are different from each other. Some busts are bald, while others wear a crown; some have hair coiled up and some wear hair clasps; but all are lively. So many bonzes are sure to be a collection of worshiped images, representing people of imperial of leaking groups. They reflect the character of the ancient Shun society in which gods and humans are considered to be connected with each other, and also politics and relation.The bonze animal sculptures of dragons, snakes, biers, chicks, are vivid. They reflect the ancient Shun people’s ideology that all things have spirits and show their sincerity to gods. Among them, the sincerity to birds is the core. Biers, such as Cinching, You, Day, etc, are the names of several ancient Shun dynasties. Biers are regarded as the symbol of the sun.The last one is a pottery pot, which is 579×924, 170Kb. It is used to contain water or wine.Step Ⅱ Listening and readingFirst ask the students to read the passage and work out the answers to the questions in Part 2 on page 83.T: Howard Carter was an English archaeologist and Egyptologist. He was most famous as the discoverer of KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun. On November 4, 1922 Carter found Tutankhamen’s tomb, by far the best preserved tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings. Now read about it and find out the answers to the questions on page 83.Sample answers:1. The room or burial chamber with the king’s body contained boxes of all shapes and sizes. One held the king’s body and had his name on it, so they knew whose tomb it was.2. Because they found the marvelous collection of treasures in the tomb, but did not know anything about it.3. This was very significant as it was clearly a tomb of somebody important, and it had not been robbed.Ask the students to listen to the recording and fill in the chart in Part 1.After listening to the tape, the students have 2 minutes to scan the passage and then fill in the chart. 2 minutes later,check the answers.Sample answers:Object Material Colour Decoration…Strange Thestatues ofthe kingShoes Gold …Boxes …BeautifullypaintedRoyalGold …insigniaLahars …Decoratedwith theheadof animalsand gods……FlowersVases …Decoratedwith somebeautifulChests …White flowerdesignsSeat …Golden …Cart Gold …For thePharaohThen let the students discuss how to secure and protect the site.T: Now do you think how can we protect the site?Give the students several minutes to discuss this problem. When the class discussion is over, vote on the best ideas for securing and protecting the site.Possible ideas for securing and protecting the site:1. Remove the rubbish.2. Don’t throw things round the site.3. Encourage others to protect the site.T: OK. So much for this passage.Step Ⅲ WritingT: Now turn to page 85 and look at the pictures and questions below them. First discuss these questions below the pictures.Three minutes later, check the discussion.S1: The order should be BAC.S2: The earliest pyramid is B, which is called step pyramid. It was built during the Third Dynasty (2800 B.C.). Step pyramid is generally considered the first tomb in Egypt to be built entirely of stone anywhere in the world.S3: The second is A. It was built in about 2,550 B.C., King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza. According to archaeologists, the top of the Khufu pyramid is in a way ripped off, which is in common with the first picture. Then the third one is the third picture. It is called bent pyramid, which was built for Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. The bent pyramid at Dahshur shows us that the ancient Egyptians experimented a lot with the slope of the pyramids. In the middle of construction the builders must have decided that the slope of the building was too steep to continue. Thus, the top half of the pyramid has a different slope.S4: The pyramid had sloping sides so that the dead pharaoh could climb to the sky and live forever.S5: The pyramid represented the rays of the sun.…T: Now you can write two paragraphs giving your ideas and your opinions as the information tells you to do. Several minutes later, let some students read their writings.A sample version:I think the chronological order of bulling the pyramids is B-A-C. The earliest pyramid is B, which is called step pyramid. It was built during the Third Dynasty (2800 B.C.). Step pyramid is generally considered the first tomb in Egypt to be built entirely of stone. The second is A. It was built about 2,550 B.C., King Khufu, the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, commissioned the building of his tomb at Giza. Then the third one is C. It is called bent pyramid, which was built for Khafre, the fourth pharaoh of the fourth dynasty. The bent pyramid at Dahshur shows us that the ancient Egyptians experimented a lot with the slope of the pyramids. In the middle of construction the builders must have decided that the slope of the building was too steep to continue. Thus, the top half of the pyramid has a different slope.All the three pyramids come to a point at the top. As its name suggests, step pyramid is a series of six levels of stone decreasing in size as they ascend to about 200 feet (60meters) in height. Egyptologists have developed many theories about why the tombs of the early pharaohs were built in the pyramid shape.Step Ⅳ HomeworkAsk the students to summarize what they have learned in this unit and preview the next.。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestorsPeriod 1 A sample lesson plan for reading(A VISIT TO THE ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVES)IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided to pre-read by getting to know what archaeology or archeology is. Then they shall be reading for forms of language, copying and making sentences, transforming information. Students will be reading the text again for the type of writing and summary of A VISIT TO ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVES. They will be asked to write a passage of their own. The period will end by students reading more about Zhoukoudian.ObjectivesTo help students understand the text’s forms and contents and learn aboutancestorsTo help students communicate on the topic in focus with the words, expressions and structures learned in this unitFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagramsProcedures1. Warming up by talking about ancestorsAn ancestor is a parent or (recursively) the parent of an ancestor. So this includes a father or mother, as well as grandparents, great-grandparents, and so on, although the correct female form of the word is "ancestrix", pl: "ancestrixes" or "ancestrices".Two individuals have a genetic relationship if one is the ancestor of the other or if they share a common ancestor; in a curious use of language in evolutionary theory, this is called common descent. (Strictly speaking this may not be true for some bacteria and similar organisms which are capable of direct horizontal gene transfer.)Some societies have had a form of ancestor worship; most modern societies seem to have focused this into genealogy.2. Pre-reading by getting to know what archaeology or archeology is Archaeology or archeology is the study of human cultures through the recovery, documentation and analysis of material remains and environmental data, including architecture, artifacts, biofacts, human remains, andlandscapes.The goals of archaeology are to document and explain the origins and development of human culture, understand culture history, chronicle cultural evolution, and study human behaviour and ecology, for both prehistoric and historic societies.3. Reading for forms of languageAt your first reading of the text it is usually best not to stop and consult your dictionary. This will interrupt your process of reading and understanding. Often the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases becomes clear as you continue to read through the text. The dictionary can be used at a later stage.Read the text to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.4. Finding collocations and making sentencesWhy do we learn collocations?•Your language will be more natural and more easily understood. •You will have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself. •It is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words.Now read the text and find the collocations.5. Transforming information6. Reading the text for the type of writing and summary of A VISIT TO ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVESDetermining the type of writing will help you determine the author’s topic (subject), purpose (why he is writing), style (how he should write) and tone (his attitude toward his subject - supportive, condeming, objective, etc.)It is important to find main ideas when reading. Main ideas help you remember important information. The main idea of a paragraph tells the topic of the paragraph. The topic tells what all or most of the sentences are about. The other sentences in the paragraph are called details. Details describe or explain the main idea. Read the text to find the main idea.7． Write as they do. (仿写)Now you are to write a passage of your own based on the text you leaned on page 38 just now.A: Welcome to Pingyao/ here/ in Shanxi, China. It is a great pleasure/ to meet you, students/ from Japan/ who are interested in the ancient Shanxi businessmen. You must be awarethat/ it's here/ that we’vefound evidence of some of theearliest people/ who startedbanks/ in this country of China.We have been studying theancient Shanxi business/ h ere/for many ye ars and…S1:I'm sorry/ to interrupt you/ but how could they start banks here? There are only farms and coal mines here.A: We have found bank houses and money caves/ in the city streets/ as well as account books/ and abacuses. So/ we think/ it is reasonable/ to assume/ banks in China were started in these streets here.S2：How did they keep money? It must have been very difficult.A: We have discovered caves/ in the centre of the courtyards/ where they dug caves. These caves would have kept gold and silver safe, held the coins/ and scared robbers away/ as well. We have been excavating layers of coins almost/ two meters thick, which suggests that/ the Pingyao businesses men or bankers might have kept the money in the caves/ all years. We haven't yet found any doors, but/ we think/ they might have placed stones/ at the cave mouth/ to keep out the robbers and thieves. S3: What robbers and thieves were there/ all that time ago?8. Closing down by reading more about ZhoukoudianIn December 1929, a Chinese paleoanthropologist named Pei Wenzhong discovered a complete skull of "Peking Man" on Dragon Bone Hill northwest of Zhoukoudian, in the southwest suburbs of Beijing. Later, archaeologists unearthed 40-odd individually fossilized skeletons of "Peking Man", male, female, old and young, all at the same site. Zhoukoudian, therefore, becamethe most common site for human remains with the most abundant fossils in the world from the same period. The discovery pushed the history of Beijing's civilization back to some 600,000 years. These fossilized remains prove that "Peking Man" was primitive man in an evolutionary process from ancient ape to modern man, and is the ancestor of the Chinese nation.Inside the 140-meter-long Peking Man Cave, stratum accumulation was of a depth of 40 meters. The inhabitants spanning more than 300,000 years left their remains, stone tools and traces of fire here. On Dragon Bone Hill were also found fossilized remains of Upper Cave Man, who lived 18,000 years ago, as well as sites of New Cave Man, who lived between Peking Man and Upper Cave Man.In 1987, the Zhoukoudian caves were listed as one of the world cultural heritage sites.。
