逐字稿
Warm-up and lead-in
Class begins. Good morning, boys and girls how are you today? Great! I am great
too. At the beginning of the class, let’s do a guessing game. Now look at the screen.
There are some attributive clauses, for example,
He is a famous man that many people love.
The subject which he liked best when he was a student was P.E.
He is a man who won the gold medal in the 110m hurdles at the 2004 Olympic
Games.
Ok, boys and girls, can you guess who he is? Yes, I hear your voice! He is Liu
Xiang.
It is easy for us to understand these sentences, because we have learned the
attributive clauses before, right? Today, we will learn another kind of attributive
clause---Non-restrictive attributive clauses.(板书)
Presentation
First of all, turn back to the reading part, and try to find as many attributive
clauses as possible. Underline them and we will check them together. Clear? 5
minutes for you, start! Time is up! Who would like to try? Tom, please. Good! Tom
finds two sentences: In 1770, the room was completed the way she wanted. The
amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown color like honey. And other
sentences? Lucy, have a try? Excellent. This gift was the Amber Room, which was
given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. You all did a
good job! You find so many sentences! Now read loudly and try to find out what
differences these sentences have, you can think about this question from the aspects of
meaning, structure or function. Then discuss with your partner. Who would like to
share with us? Bob, great! You find there is a comma in this sentence and other
sentences don’t have the comma! Well done! We call this sentence a Non-restrictive
attributive clauses. Now, any other differences? Maybe you can try to omit the
attributive clauses and then tell me your discovery. Emily, have a try? Yes, in the
non-restrictive attributive clauses, if the attributive clause is omitted, the sentence is
still complete. But in the restrictive attributive clauses, if the attributive clause is
omitted, the sentence is not complete. Exactly! You got one of the differences. Any
one else has different ideas? Nobody? Try to analyze the grammar structure, for
example, in the restrictive attributive clauses, the attributive clause is to modify the
antecedent. Now can you find in the restrictive attributive clauses, what the attributive
clause explain about? Tom, do you have any idea? Good! The attributive clause is an
explanation of the whole sentence.
Practice
OK, boys and girls, we now know the differences between restrictive attributive
clause and non- restrictive attributive clause, could you make a contrast between these
two sentences, and try to find out the differences. The two sentences are on the screen:(1)She kept on telling jokes, which made everyone angry. (2)She kept on telling jokes
which made everyone angry. You can discuss this question in pairs and 2 minutes for
you! Start! Ok, Is there anyone who wants to have a try? Lily, please! Perfect!
Sentence (1) shows that the fact she told jokes made them angry. Sentence (2) shows
that the subject of her jokes made them angry. Now you have master the the
differences. Let’s do one more exercise. Join the pairs of sentences using attributive
clauses, either restrictive attributive clause or non-restrictive attributive clause. You
should finish by yourself first and then you can discuss with you partners to see
whether you have different versions. Ten minutes for you. Time is up!
The first two sentences, (1)Here are the farmers. (2)They discovered the underground
city last month. Jack! What is you answer? Correct! Here are the farmers who
discovered the underground ground city last month. Ok, all of you had done a great
job! We can see that, as long as we mater the basic rules of the grammar, it will be
easy for us to finish the exercise correctly, right?
Production
Now, we will discuss in groups and finish a task together.
Complete the simple sentences by adding restrictive or non-restrictive attributive
clauses according to the pictures given under the sentences, try different expressions
as many as possible. You have a heated discussion! OK today, we learn a new kind of
attributive clause, non-restrictive attributive clauses, and it differs from the restrictive
attributive clauses. Nacy, will you repeat the differences again?
Well done! Now all of you have done a great job!
Summary and Homework
After our class, please write an English composition about a person. Try to use the
restrictive or non-restrictive attributive clauses, it is a compulsory work, next class,
we will share your composition with the whole class, and let’s see whose composition
is the best one. Another homework, if you had time, find out at least 5 restrictive or
non-restrictive attributive clauses in other articles. OK, class is over, see you next
class.
