Nelson Mandela a modern hero教案1

s17：i think it is wrong.elias was unable to read or write because his family could not continue to pay the school fess and the bus fare，so he had to leave school when he was eight years old.
t：good.look at the fifth sentence，who’d like to have a try？
s18：i’d like to.this sentence is wrong because elias did not like violence.
t：how about the next sentence？
s19：it’s wrong.nelson mandela didn’t believe that black people were being treated as well as white people in south africa.
t：how do you know this？
s20：in the passage，we can read this sentence：...until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.
t：good.what about the last two sentences？
s21：they’re both wrong.nelson mandela believed that breaking the law in a peaceful way was his first choice.as to the last sentence，nelson mandela led the struggle against the government，so it is natural for him to be hated by the government.
