Step2. Revision
T: Last time, we learnt the text about Steven Spielberg. Do you still remember what did Spielberg use in his first real film? What’s his dream? What great films did he direct?
T: Yes, these films were all made by Steven Spielberg, who is famous in the western countries. Actually, there’re many great directors in china. Can you name some of them?
Ss:….
Step3. Review relative pronoun
T: Ok, please look at the screen. Let’s do a linking game.
On the left are some famous directors in China and the right are the films they made. Please link these directors with the films.(show it on the Powerpoint)
T: well done. I believe most of you have watched or heard of these films. Now, let’s combine the directors and the films they made in one sentence. Please look at the example “Zhang Yimou is a famous director who made the great film Hero.” You can put the director first by using the relative pronoun “who”. And you can also place the film in the first place by using the relative pronoun “which”. Such as “Hero is a great film which was made by Zhang Yimou”. (Ask Ss read their answers together.)
Step4. Relative adverbs
T: just now, we mentioned some information of director. Now, let’s talk about actors. Do you know, where was Jackie Cheng born? (HK) And what about his son? (USA)
Then, Lu Yi? (China).
Name Place of birth
Jackie Chan
Fang Zuming
Lu Yi
T: let’s make sentence like this: “HK is the city where Jackie Cheng was born.”
T: in the last unit, we learnt how to use the relative pronoun “which, that, who and whose”. In the example, we use the relative adverb “where” to modify some place. Then, which word do you use to modify the “time”?
T: yes, “when”. Look at this sentence: “1953 was the year when Spielberg made his first real film.” Here, when was used to modify “the year”. Sometimes, we also use “why”, when we want to tell the reason of something happen. Just as the example on your book “The reason why Spielberg could not go to Film Academy was that his grade were too low.”
T: now, please do the exercise1 on P33 (check the answer).
T: I’m glad that you have master the usage of relative adverb. Let’s look at the example again. “HK is the city where JC was born.” In this sentence, we can also use prep.+relative pronoun instead of “where”. So, we can also say: “ HK is the city in which JC was born.”
T: then, how do we know which prep. we should use?
Here are three steps.
1. 找出定語從句。
2. 找出從句所修飾的詞，即先行詞。
3. 找出定語從句的謂語，根據先行詞和謂語關系確定所需的介詞。 （use the HK as an example to let Ss know how to do these steps）
T: According to these steps, I hope you can use the prep.+relative pronoun to fill in exercise1.
T: In the fact, the place of prep. is free in a sentence. Look at the example again. We can place “in” before “which”, or after “born”.
T: we can say “The woman who/whom Spielberg is married to is an actress.” And we can also say “The woman to whom Spielberg is married is an actress.” Maybe someone has found that in the first sentence, we can use the relative pronoun “who/whom”. However, for the second, we can only use “whom”. So after the preposition, we can only use “which” or “whom”.
T: please do Ex3 on p33.
Step5. Conclusion
T: now let’s have a conclusion for this lesson.
