Unit 2ValuesⅠ. Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.understand the main idea (despite his wealth, Sam Walton remains down-home and devoted to his team) andstructure of the text;2.appreciate the use of indirect description in portraying a person;3.grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.4.1.T asks Ss the following questions on the recorded passage: (5 minutes)—What happened to Abraham Lincoln one day? (Working as a shop clerk, he overcharged a customer.Although the sum was insignificant, Lincoln walked a long distance to return the money.) —How is the story related to the theme of the unit — values? (Abraham Lincoln regarded honesty as an important value.)2.Ss do Cloze B in after-text exercises to learn more about the values of American millionaires. (15 minutes)3.Rich people I know (15 minutes)1)Before class, Ss are asked to collect stories, news reports, pictures, books, or even video clips (if relevantequipment is available for showing them in class) of rich people.2)In class, Ss form groups of three to four to share what they have collected.3)Groups discuss what values these rich people hold dear.4)Speakers for several groups report their discussion results to the class.5)T reminds Ss to keep these values in mind when they study Text A, and see whether Sam Walton1. Text organization (20 minutes)1)T asks Ss to scan the text to see if there is any natural dividing lines separating it into parts. (The textcan be divided into three parts. Between each part, there is a blank line.)2)T draws Ss’ attention to Text Organization Exercise 1, guides them through the directions, so that theycan grasp the main function of each part.3)Ss scan the text again to underline all the names mentioned and tell who these persons are.(They are: Jamie Beaulieu, waiter at Sam Walton’s birthday partyJonnie Baker, night manager at the local Wal-MartRichard Hoback, Mayor of Bentonville, ArkansasGordon Garlington, pastor of the local churchJohn Marshall, local barberJim V on Gremp, corporate affairs directorFerold F. Arend, retired president of Wal-MartJim Hendren, company lawyeralso see Text Analysis)4) Ss will notice that the text transits from Part II to Part III when the first corporate job — corporateaffairs director — is mentioned.2.T explains language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (60 minutes)3.Finding synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home” (10 minutes)1)T asks some Ss to explain the title of Text A in their own words.2)Ss work alone to find out synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home”.3)Some Ss report their findings to the class.( Para 5 carry on like plain folksPara 6 folksy waysPara 7 friendly, cheerful, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight aroundPara 11 not a front-page person)4) T reminds Ss to vary their own writings by synonyms or synonymous phrases.Post-reading tasks1. Using indirect description in portraying a person (25 minutes)1)Ss complete Text Organization Exercise 2 and compare answers with each other.2)T makes Ss think by asking Ss this question: How does the author reveal these character traits of SamWalton? Does he come forward to tell us directly what Sam Walton is like?3)T introduces methods of indirect description and writes them down on the blackboard: anecdotes,examples, quotes, comparison and contrast, etc. (see Text Analysis)4)Ss work in pairs to find out examples of these methods.5)Some pairs report their findings to the class.6)T urges Ss to adopt these methods when describing a person.2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview Text A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisTo make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce.Of all the methods of indirect description, the one used most frequently in Text A is quotation. The author quotes not only Sam Walton himself, e.g. “The reason for our success... is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit”, but also his townsfolk and colleagues (as shown in while-reading tasks in the Suggested Teaching Plan).The text begins with an anecdote: how waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons, only to find an ordinary-looking household. This kind of beginning lures readers to go on. There are other anecdotes, like how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber, and how he lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.Sam Walton is a folksy guy, of which a lot of examples are given. Examples of how generous an employer he is are also plentiful.Jamie Beaulieu’s anticipation and the reality he later found out form a contrast. It reveals Sam Walton’s down-home characteristics. When retired company president Ferold F. Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer, we appreciate further Sam Walton’s generosity.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Rolls-Royce: any of the large, expensive, comfortable cars made by the British company Rolls-Royce.Many people recognize them by the small metal statue on the front of every Rolls-Royce car. The company was formed in 1905-1906 by Charles Rolls (1877-1910) and Henry Royce (1863-1933) and also produces aircraft engines.

These names are sometimes called Christian names or given names. Some people have only one given name, a few have three or more. Friends and members of a family who are of similar age usually call one another by their first names. In some families young people now also call their aunts and uncles and even their parents by their first names.
