Nelson Mandela a modern hero教案1
s2:yes,we learnt about this in our history classes.the blacks were first brought to america as slaves.they were treated badly and they had no rights.
t:that’s right.but we all know that things are different now.do you know how they could have the same rights as the whites?
s3:we don’t know much about this.please tell us more.
t:ok.many people devoted themselves to this.some were put into prison and some even lost their lives.look at the two pictures and read the notes about them.then have a discussion in groups of four.try to explain why they are great men.

t:good.now who would like to tell us why these two men are great?
s3:let me have a try.i think martin luther king,jr.is great.he worked for the freedom of all the blacks.he was born in 1929.after he graduated in 1955,he worked in a church and organized his first actions in the same year.two years later,he formed an organization for black leaders to work together.in 1963,he had the famous speech “i have a dream”.because of his success in his work,he received the nobel peace prize in 1964.unfortunately he was murdered in 1968.
t:very good.now,who can tell us something about nelson mandela?
s4:he was the first black president in south africa from 1994 to 1999.he was born in 1918 and worked for the equal rights for the blacks of south africa for many years.as early as in 1940,while he was still at university,he took his first actions.in 1944,he helped to found the anc youth league.during the 1950s,he led many peaceful actions.his enemies hated him and he had been kept a prisoner from 1962 to 1989,but he never gave up the struggle for the freedom of all the blacks,so he received the nobel peace prize in 1993.
t:very good.you know a lot about them.who can explain in which way struggle was an important part in the lives of them?li yang,would you have a try?
