An old man tells his grandson the life story of his famous friend, Nelson Mandela, who was the first black President of South Africa. We are told briefly about his childhood.

借此进入下面的朗读环节。

2．朗读（Reading aloud）：朗读与思考相结合

（1）检查学生朗读。This book tells about Mandela’s childhood in a rather brief/general way, but it still interests me. Let’s read this part out loud from page 7 to page 10. 请几个学生朗读P7-P10中的段落，强调在理解故事的基础上读出感情。

（2）让学生选择自己喜欢的章节大声朗读。读完后，要求学生用英语说一说为什么喜欢所读的部分，教师给出反馈。

3. 复述（Retelling）：关注内容与语言表达的准确性，锻炼学生连贯表达思想的能力 We have read some parts and learned the discrete points very well. I will see how you summarise the whole story.

教师展示每个章节（体现了Mandela一生的每个重要阶段）中有关主要事件的关键词。然后请两位学生分别总结整个故事的内容，必要时，教师给出问题提示或补充。

在复述过程中，教师也可通过提问帮助学生进一步丰富复述的内容，如：

（1）What sort of childhood did Mandela have?

He spent his early years in the countryside. He was once a herd boy. Later, he was sent to school. After his father died of tuberculosis, a regent became his guardian.

（2）Why did Mandela join the ANC?

He joined it to fight for a better life for South Africa’s black people.

（3）What did he do when imprisoned?

He worked hard on the story of his life—Long Walk to Freedom.

4. 采访（Interview）：训练学生积极思考、主动质疑的能力和表达能力

在复述故事后，请两名学生轮流上台面向其他同学扮演Nelson Mandela，其他同学扮演
