活动1【导入】Lead－in ＆ Pre－reading
T: Good morning, boys and girls. Today’s topic is cultural relics. When we talk about cultural relics, what words come to your mind? How about you? What’s your opinion? What’s your idea?
Ss: Old, beautiful, the great wall…
T: It seems that you know much about cultural relics. Then, how about these pictures? What’s this?
Ss: Teng Wang Pavilion
T: This one? Still familiar?
Ss: Ba Yi Park.
T: This one is famous…
Ss: The Pyramid.
T: To be specific, it’s the biggest pyramid in the world---the Khufu Pyramid. How about this one? No more building…
Ss: Terra cotta warriors
T: The last picture?
Ss: A light.
T: Is it an ordinary light?
Ss: No. It’s beautiful.
T: Yes, it’s a special light decorated with crystal, so we say it’s a fancy light. Fancy means something unique and beautiful. Now look at these pictures. Do they all belong to the cultural relics? Have a discussion in group and give me reasons.
Ss: (discussion)
T: Have you made up your minds? Anyone wants to share their opinion?
Ss: (Ba Yi Park or the light)
T: Since you have different opinions. Let’s find out what is a real cultural relic by learning “In Search of the Amber Room”. first, let me introduce a bit about amber. Amber is the fossil form of the resin from trees. It takes millions of years to form. So is it easy to find the amber?
Ss: No.
T: So it’s very rare. Some amber is even worth 10 times of gold.
Ss: It’s very expensive.
T: In other words, it’s very valuable. Here is a table of amber. How do you feel?
Ss: Beautiful…
T: Can you imagine a room made of amber? What do you think of the Amber Room?
Ss: Fancy…
T: That’s true. But the two pictures only show a small part of the beauty of the Amber Room. Let read the passage and find how beautiful it is indeed.

T: Well done. You’ve found all and from your answer such as tons of amber, gold and jewels, we do see the beauty. But what else do they tell you about the Amber Room.
Ss: Value (It’s valuable)
T: Then can you give some other key words about the value of the Amber Room in the three paragraphs?
Ss: (read Paragraph) the greatest gift, treasure and wonder…

Ss: The amazing history.
活动4【导入】Task three： the amazing history
T: Exactly. When we talk about history, what order do we usually follow?
Ss: Time.
T: Very clever. Except time, what other elements do you think of about history?
Ss: People, event, place…(who, what, where…)
T: Yes. Here is a time table. You need to find other information like character, event and place. This task is a bit challenging because you need to read the whole passage. You can work with your partner. Here we go.
Ss: (Read the passage and finish the time table with partners)
T: Have you finished?
Ss: Yes.
T: Anyone wants to introduce the first event?
Ss: (share the answers)

You can choose one cultural relic to introduce and you can use the information on the group work sheet. Here are some useful structures you can refer to. Now join your group and get to your work.
