Procedures

I. Warming up

Warming up by describing

Good morning, class. Today we are going to talk about an interesting topic --- music. As we know, music is a kind of art of making pleasing combinations of sounds in rhythm, harmony and counterpoint. Music can produce a lively and happy atmosphere and bring people relaxation after hard work, which can reduce the tiredness. Listening to music also makes people feel happy and nice. How many do you know about music? Can you tell about different kinds of music? Now turn to page 33, look at the pictures, read the captions and listen to the different kinds of music. See if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

Warming up by discussing

Hi, everyone. Do you like music? How much do you know about music? Can you tell about the different kinds of music? Please turn to page 33. Look at the pictures. Let’s listen to some music. Let’s see if you can guess which music matches with which picture.

            

   Classical music               Country music               Rock ‘n’ Roll

      

        Rap                       Orchestra                 Folk music     

Yes, you are right. I’m sure you will really enjoy yourselves after listening to all these beautiful music. What kind of music do you like better, Chinese or Western, classical or modern? Why? How does music make you feel? Why do you like to listen to music? Let’s discuss these questions in small groups. Try to share your opinions with one another.

II. Pre-reading

1.Thinking and saying

Have you heard about any of the famous bands in the world? List some if you can.

 

For reference: I’ve heard about “The Beatles”, “Back Street Boys”, “The Eagles”, “West life” and “Pink Floyd”.

 

2.Listening, talking and sharing

Let’s listen to some pieces of music from different bands. Work in groups of four. Tell your group mates which band you like best. Why? Then the group leader is to stand up and share the group idea with the class.

 

For reference: I am from Group 1. Our group likes “The Beatles” best. We like their style of performances. Listening to their performances, we will feel relaxed, amused, and their performances make us think a lot about life.

 

Do you know anything about “The Monkees”?

 

For reference: “The Monkees” is a band that was first popular in the 1960s in America. Unlike most bands of the time, the Monkees were not formed by its members but rather by TV producers. They were a fictional band in the TV show of the same name. The band was composed of Mike Nesmith, Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Peter Tork. All the members had some musical experience. Let’s come to the reading --- The Band That Wasn’t and find more about them.

 

III. Reading

1.Reading aloud to the recording

Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text THE BAND THAT WASN’T. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.

2.Reading and underlining

Next you are to read and underline all the useful expression_r_rs or collocations in the passage. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.

 

Collocations from THE BAND THAT WASN’T dream of doing , at a concert , with sb. clapping and enjoying …, sing karaoke , be honest with oneself, get to form a band, high school students, practice one’s music, play to passers-by, in the subway, earn some extra money, begin as a TV show, play jokes on…, be based loosely on…, the TV organizers, make good music, put an advertisement in a newspaper, look for rock musicians, pretend to do sth., the attractive performances, be copied by…, support them fiercely, become more serious about…, play their own instruments, produce one’s own records, start touring, break up, in the mid-1980s, a celebration of one’s time as a real band

 

3.Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraph

Skim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph.

 

1st paragraph: How do people get to form a band?  2nd paragraph: Most musicians meet and form a band.  3rd paragraph: One band started as a TV show. 4th paragraph: “The Monkees” became even more popular than “The Beatles”.

 

3.Reading and transferring information

Read the text again to complete the tables, which list how people formed a band and how The Monkees was formed by the TV organizers and became a real band.

How do people get to form a band?

 

Members	High school students
Reasons	They like to write and play music.
Places	They practice their music in someone’s home.
Forms	They may play to passers-by in the street or subway.
Results	They can earn some extra money. They may also have a chance to dream of becoming famous.

 

How was The Monkees formed and became a real band?

 

The Monkees in 1968 (left to right): Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork, Mike Nesmith & Davy Jones

 

 

beginning of the band	It began as a TV show.
style of the performance	They played jokes on each other as well as played music.
first music and jokes	Most of them were based loosely on the band called “The Beatles”.
development of the band	They became more serious about their work and started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band. They produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.
changes of the band	The band broke up in about 1970, but reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, which was a celebration of their time as a real band.

 

4. Reading and understanding difficult sentences

As you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me. 

 

 

 

 

IV. Closing down

Closing down by doing exercises

To end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Closing down by having a discussion

Do you think the TV organizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs? Why?

 

For reference: I don’t think the TV organizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs because singing and writing its own songs was the basis of a band.

 

Do you agree that the jokes were more important than the music for this band? Give a reason.

 

For reference: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans. No. I think the purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music. It’s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh.

 

Closing down by retelling the form of the band The Monkees.

I shall write some key words and expression_r_rs on the board. You are to retell the form of the band according to these words.

 

For reference: begin as a TV show, the TV organizers, look for, put an advertisement in a newspaper, use actors for the other members of the band, pretend to sing

 

Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language

(The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋which/ whom).

Aims

To help students learn about the Attributive Clause with a preposition in front.

To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expression_r_rs.

To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.

Procedures

I. Warming up

Warming up by discovering useful words and expression_r_rs

Turn to page 35 and do exercises No. 1, 2 and 3 first. Check your answers against your classmates’.

II. Learning about grammar

1.Reading and thinking

Turn to page 34 and read with me the text of THE BAND THAT WASN’t. As you read on, pay attention to The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋which/ whom), that is, the attributive clauses with a preposition ahead of the relative pronoun shown in the sentences.

 

For reference: The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band.

 

2.Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 35

Turn to page 34. Look at the two sentences:

The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music.

However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band.

Pay attention to the structure: preposition + relative pronoun. Usually only two relative pronouns --- which and whom--- can be used in the Attributive Clause, with a preposition put before the clause. That can’t be used. Look at the screen. Here are more examples on this kind of structure.

 

1.This is the reason for which he left his hometown. (=why) 2.I’ll never forget the day on which we stayed together. (=when) 3.This is the girl from whom I learned the news. 4.The person to whom I spoke just now is the manager that I told you about.    5.I’ll show you a store in which you may buy all that you need.(=where) 6.I don’t like the way in which you laughed at her.(=that)

 

 

Now go on to do Exercise No. 2 on page 36, that is, to sort out the sentences.

III. Ready used materials for The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋which/ whom)

In formal styles we often put a preposition before the relative pronouns which and whom:

·The rate at which a material heats up depends on its chemical composition.

·In the novel by Peters, on which the film is based, the main character is a teenager.

·An actor with whom Gelson had previously worked contacted him about the role.

·Her many friends, among whom I like to be considered, gave her encouragement.

Notice that after a preposition you can’t use who in place of whom, and you can’t use that or zero relative pronoun either:

·Is it right that politicians should make important decisions without consulting the public to whom they are accountable? (not --- the public to who they are accountable.)

·The valley in which the town lies is heavily polluted. (not --- The valley in that the town...)

·Arnold tried to gauge the speed at which they were traveling. (not --- the speed at they were traveling.)

In informal English we usually put the preposition at the end in attributive clauses rather than at the beginning:

·The office which Graham led the way to was filled with books.

·Jim’s footballing ability, which he was noted for, had been encouraged by his parents.

·The playground wasn’t used by those children who it was built for.

In this case we prefer who rather than whom (although whom is used in formal contexts). In restrictive attributive clauses we can also use that or zero relative pronoun instead of who or which (e.g. ...the children (that) it was built for).

If the verb in attributive clauses is a two-or-three-word verb (e.g. come across, fill in, go through, look after, look up to, put up with, take on) we don’t usually put the preposition at the beginning:

·   Your essay is one of those (which/that) I’ll go through tomorrow. (rather than...through which I’ll go tomorrow.)

·   She is one of the few people (who/that) I look up to. (not ... to whom I look up.)

In formal written English, we often prefer to use of which rather than whose to talk about things:

·A huge amount of oil was spilled, the effects of which are still being felt. (or...whose effects are still being felt.)

·The end of the war, the anniversary of which is on the 16th of November, will be commemorated in cities throughout the country. (or...whose anniversary is on...)

Note that we can’t use of which in place of whose in the patterns described in Unit 71B:

·Dorothy was able to switch between German, Polish and Russian, all of which she spoke fluently. (not..,all whose she spoke...)

We can sometimes use that...of in place of of which. This is less formal than of which and whose, and is mainly used in spoken English:

·The school that she is head of is closing down. (or The school of which she is head...)

Whose can come after a preposition in attributive clauses. However, it is more natural to put the preposition at the end in less formal contexts and in spoken English:

·We were grateful to Mr. Marks, in whose car we had traveled home. (or...whose car we had traveled home in.)

·I now turn to Freud, from whose work the following quotation is taken. (or...whose work the following quotation is taken from.)

IV. Closing down by doing exercises:

Join the sentence halves using which or whom after an appropriate preposition. (A)

a.       I would never have finished the work.

b.       It was primarily written.

c.       We know nothing.

d.       They got a good view.

e.       He learned how to play chess.

f.        Dennis scored three goals in the final.

g.       She was born.    

h.       It was discovered.

1.They climbed up to the top of a large rock.

2. I would like to thank my tutor.

3. She has now moved back to the house on Long Island.

4. The star is to be named after Patrick Jenks.

S. This is the ball.

6. He is now able to beat his father.

7. The book is enjoyed by adults as well as children.

8. There are still many things in our solar system.

 

Key for reference: 1.They climbed up to the top of a large rock, from which they got a good view. 2. I would like to thank my tutor, without whom I would never have finished the work. 3. She has now moved back to the house on Long Island, in which she was born. 4. The star is to be named after Patrick Jenks, by whom it was discovered. S. This is the ball. Dennis scored three goals in the final. 6. He is now able to beat his father, from whom he learned how to play chess. 7. The book is enjoyed by adults as well as children, about whom it was primarily written. 8. There are still many things in our solar system, about which we know nothing.

 

Are these correct or appropriate? If they are, put a√. If they are not, give a reason, correct them and give alternatives if you can. (A)

I.     It's a piece of jewelry across which I came in an antique shop. --- which I came across in an antique shop. (‘came across’ is a two-word verb.)

2.    The extra work which she took on was starting to affect her health.

3.    My mother, after whom I looked for over 20 years, died last year.

4. The people whom I work with are all very friendly.

5. Some of the criticisms with which they had to put up were very unfair.

6. He had many friends with whom he had a regular correspondence.

7. The woman to who he is engaged comes from Poland.

8. The forms which I had to fill in were very complicated.

Rewrite these sentences so that they are more appropriate for formal written English. Use preposition + which or preposition + whose, as appropriate. (B)

2. Tom Ham, whose novel the TV series is based on, will appear in the first episode.

3. Dr Jackson owns the castle whose grounds the main road passes through.

4. Tessa Parsons is now managing director of Simons, the company that she was once a secretary in.

5. Allowing the weapons to be sold is an action that the Government should be ashamed of.

6. The dragonfly is an insect that we know very little of.
