Nelson Mandela—a modern hero教案

3)(various answers are possible. )i like the way elias tells the story. elias is a black worker with only a little education, so he uses some simple and short sentences to describe his experiences and his contact with mandela, and thus makes the whole story more real-like and close to the readers. the quoted speech in the story objectively reveals mandela’s political views through which some aspects of mandela’s qualities are shown clearly.
2. playing an interview game
ask the students to do an interview in pairs. suppose one is a journalist, and the other is elias. a journalist is interviewing elias with the following questions.
1)when did you first meet mandela?
2)can you tell me more about how he helped you?
3)can you tell me about the problems that the black people are facing?
4)how do you like his idea of peaceful fighting?
5)what do you think of him?
6)what will you do to support him in the future?
→step 5 consolidation
give the students several minutes to prepare. then ask them to retell the story according to the following clues:elias’ problem; mandela’s help; elias’ support.
sample retold passage:
elias is a black worker in south africa. his family was so poor that he had to drop out of school at the age of eight. later on, he was able to work as a gold miner in johannesburg. but he hadn’t got a passbook which was required if one wanted to live in johannesburg. he was worried about being dismissed. however, he was lucky enough to get some help from nelson mandela and managed to get the correct papers. after that, he began to know more mandela and his political ideas. he agreed with mandela’s views on the unfair laws against the black people and his idea about peaceful fighting. he also knew that all mandela wanted to do was to fight for equal rights for the black people. so he supported him heart and soul.
