Unit 5 Nelson Mandela – a modern hero第1学时 Warming-up and reading 导学案【单元导航】Nelson Mandela was born on July 19,1918, near Umtata, Transkei. To pursue a political career, he renounced his right to succeed his father as chief of the Tembu tribe. He studied law by correspondence. In 1944 he joined the African National Congress (ANC) and helped found its influential Youth League. His first jail sentence(suspended) was for the ANC’s 1952 Defiance Against Unjust Laws Campaign. After the 1960 massacre of thousands of unarmed pass-law protesters, Mandela became a fugitive. Security police caught him in 1962. Mandela was set free on Feb. 11, 1990.

Unit 5Nelson Mandela—a modern hero单元规则本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊·曼德拉(Nelson Mandela—a modern hero)，阅读、听力等所选材料通过黑人工人Elias的叙述，主要介绍了纳尔逊·曼德拉的生平事迹，语言知识和语言技能等都是围绕这一中心话题展开的。

通过对这一话题的探讨，旨在使学生了解纳尔逊·曼德拉的生平事迹，认识伟人所应具备的优秀品质，向他们学习，以提高自身的素质。

为了围绕中心话题开展听、说、读、写活动，本单元安排了八个部分：“热身(Warming Up)”“读前(Pre-reading)”“阅读(Reading)”“理解(Comprehending)”“语言学习(Learning about Language)”“语言运用(Using Language)”“小结(Summing Up)”和“学习建议(Learning Tip)”。

“热身(Warming Up)”部分利用问题的形式，要求学生分组进行活动，讨论伟人应具有的品质，引导他们注意提高自身的素质。

“读前(Pre-reading)”部分以表格的形式提供了一些重要的历史人物，要求学生读懂每个人的基本情况，并分成两人小组讨论，判断他们中谁能称得上是伟人，谁仅仅是重要的人物，并说出理由。

从学生的生活经验和兴趣出发，让学生用英语阐述自己的观点，目的是培养他们的观察能力和语言表达能力，引起他们对阅读文章的思考，为下面的阅读作好充分的准备。

“阅读(Reading)”部分Elias以第一人称向我们讲述了南非黑人所受到的不公正待遇以及他们争取种族平等的斗争情况，介绍了1952~1963 年期间的曼德拉，从侧面向学生展示了他的高贵品质。

由于学生在学习“读前(Pre-reading)”部分时已对曼德拉有了初步的了解，可先让学生列出他们感兴趣的问题或想了解的信息，然后在阅读过程中，尝试找出答案。
