Then show the portrait of Edison to the students. Ask: Do you know anything about his childhood? If they don’t, tell them sth. about his schooling, and then say: People are not born creative, and you don’t have to be very intelligent to be an inventor. We can learn to be creative. Today we’ll learn how to be creative.

Step 2 Pre-reading

Scan the title and the four sub-titles, and guess what’s the text about?

B. how to improve your IQ

C. how to become more creative

Step 3 Fast-reading

Step 4 Careful-reading

T: well, now let’s read the text carefully by listening to and reading after the tape one paragragh after another. You are required to finish off all the comprehension tasks for each part.

Part 1: general idea.

Part 2: What is to “think outside the box”?

To think outside the box is to try new ways to solve a problem.

To rephrase a problem to allow for creative solutions and also try “impossible” or “crazy”solutions.

To make a conscious effort to break away from old thought patterns.

Game 1: How do you connect all the dots with only four straight lines?

Step 5 Post-reading

1. Match the examples with the right titles:

Example 1: think outside the box.

Examples 2&3: keep trying

Example 4: take another look at it.

Example5: make connections.

Ⅶ Teaching Reflection:

Period 4 Grammar Study

Ⅰ Teaching Aims:

To get the students to master the grammar of attributive clause.

Improve the students’ abilities of using langage.

Ⅱ Teaching Focuses:

●The restrictive & non-restrictive attributive clauses●The attributive clause & the appositive clause

●The attributive clause & the emphasis structureⅢ Teaching Methods:

Explaining & Practising.

Ⅳ Teaching Aids:

A multimedia computer.

Ⅴ Teaching Procedures:

Step 1: Lead – in

Pay special attention to the underlined parts. Is there anything in common between them?

1. He is a famous scientist.

2. who’s that girl in red?

3. I’ve read all the books that you lent me.

4. I have lost my pen, which I like very much.

Step 2: Grammar knowledge

1. The attributive clause (the adjective clause)

the restrictive attributive clause

the non-restrictive attributive clause

noun/pronoun + the attributive clause

the antecedent (person/thing) the relative pronouns/adverbs + clausePractice: complete the sentences with suitable relatives.

1). I know the reason ________ he came late.

2). Do you know the woman, _____son went to college last year?

3) The house _____ color is red is john’s.

4). This is the best film ______ I’ve ever seen.

5) That’s the town _________ he worked in 1987.

6). I have 2 brothers, ________ are both soldiers.

7). Next week, _________ you’ll spend in your hometown ,is coming.

8). I’ve tried 2 pairs of shoes, neither of __________fits me well.

2. Pay more attention to the agreement between the verb and the antecedent in person and number in the attributive clause, and then complete the sentences:

1).Those who ____ to go to the cinema must be at the school gate by 3:30 p.m. (want)

2). He who ___________ the great wall is not a true man. (not reach)

3). She is the only one of the girls who ____ been to Beijing. (have)

4). He is one of the boys who ____ seen the film. (have)Conclusion 1:

(1) When a relative pronoun is used as a subject in the clause, the verb must agree with the antecedent in person and number.

(2) When the antecedent is the structure “one of +n. (pl.)”, the verb in the clause must be plural, agrees with the plural form. However, if there is “the” or “the only very” before “one”, the verb in the clause must be singular, agrees with the word “one”.

Practice: Complete the following sentences with suitable relatives:

1).The time ___________ I went to Tokyo is in 1982.

2). I’ll never forget the time _________ I spent at college.

3). The shop _________ I bought the book in is big.

4). The shop __________ I bought the book is big.

Conclusion 2: when the antecedent is a noun for time or place “when” or “where” is not always used to introduce the clause. It depends on the function of the relative word in the clause.

3. The Difference Between “that” and “which”.

Complete the following sentences with “that” or “which”.

1).This is the 2nd article ____ I have written in English.

2). It is the best film _____ he has ever seen.

3). This is the very book _____ I want to read.

4). All ____ they told me surprised me.

10). The weather turned out to be very good, _______ was more than we could expect.

11). The clever boy made a hole in the wall, through _______ he could see what was going on inside the house.

Conclusion 3:

When the antecedent refers to thing(s), “that” is often used in the following cases:

(1) After ordinal number and superlatives

(2) After the following words: all, only, little, few, much, very, none, last, just, any(thing), every(thing), some(thing), no(thing).

(3) After two or more antecedents, referring to both person(s) and thing(s).

(4) After interrogative pronouns “which” or “who”.

(5) When the relative pronoun is used as a predictive in the clause.

(6) When the main clause begins with “there be ”.

In the following cases, “which” is always used.

①After prepositions

②to introduce a non-restrictive attributive clause.

③The whole main sentence is the “antecedent” of the relative clause, and there is always a comma.Fill in the blanks with suitable relatives to complete the following sentences.

1.Tell me the reason ____ you were late for class.

2. Who is the girl _____ is speaking there ?

8. The old man has 4 sons, three of ____ are doctors.

4. The Difference Between the Attributive Clause and the Appositive Clause

1)、從詞類上區(qū)別

同位語從句前面的名詞只能是idea, fact, news, hope, belief, suggestion, proposal, word, thought, doubt,

truth, possibility, promise, order等表示抽象意義的名詞。而定語從句的先行詞可以是名詞、代詞、主句的一部分或整個主句。如：

We are looking into the question whether he is worth trusting.（同位語從句）

Word came that he had gone abroad.據(jù)說他已經(jīng)出國了。（同位語從句）

The doctor whom you are looking for is in the room.（定語從句，名詞the doctor作先行詞）

Our team has won the game, which makes us very happy.(定語從句，which代表前面提到的整個句子)

His mother did all she could to help him with his study（定語從句，代詞all作先行詞）

2)、從性質(zhì)上區(qū)別

定語從句是從句對其先行詞的修飾或限制，屬于形容詞性從句的范疇；而同位語從句是從句對前面抽象名詞的進一步說明和解釋，屬于名詞性從句的范疇。如：The news that our team has won the game

is true.（同位語從句，補充說明news的內(nèi)容。）

The news (that) he told me yesterday is true. (定語從句，that 從句作定語修飾news)

I made a promise that if anyone set me free I would make him very rich. (同位語從句，補充說明promise)

The mother made a promise that pleased all her children.（定語從句，that從句作定語修飾promise。）

3)、從引導(dǎo)詞及其在句子中的成份上區(qū)別有些引導(dǎo)詞如how, whether, what可以引導(dǎo)同位語從句，但不能引導(dǎo)定語從句。如:That question whether we need it has not been considered.（同位語從句）

I have no idea what has happened to him.（同位語從句）

引導(dǎo)詞that引導(dǎo)定語從句時，在從句中一般作主語或賓語（指物時還可以用which代替），并且作賓語時常常省略。That在同位語從句中僅起連接作用，不充當(dāng)任何成份，并且不能省略，也不能用which來代替。 The order that we (should) send a few people to help the other groups was received yesterday.

（同位語從句，是對order的具體解釋，that雖不作成份，但不能省略）

The order (that) we received yesterday was that we (should) send a few people to help the other groups.

（定語從句，是名詞order的修飾語，that在從句中作received的賓語，可以省略）

Practice: 從A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。

1.Along with the letter was his promise ____ he would visit me this coming Christmas.

A. which B. that C. what D. whether

2. Luckily, we’d brought a road map without___ we would have lost our way.

A. it B. that C. this D. which

3. There is a new problem involved in the popularity of private cars ___road conditions need .

A. that; to be improved B. which; to be improved C. where; improving D. when; improving

5. Information has been put forward ____ more middle school graduates will be admitted into universities.

A. while B. that C. when D. as

6. The fact came up ___ specific speech sounds are recognized by babies as young as 6 months old.

8. The question came up at the meeting ____ we had enough money for our research.

A.that B. what C. which D. whether

9. The reason ____ he is late is ____ there was a breakdown on the railway.

A. why; why B. why; that C. because; that D. that; because

5. The Difference Between the Attributive Clause and the Emphasis Structure

強調(diào)句型的句式結(jié)構(gòu)為：“It is/was + 被強調(diào)部分 + that/who從句”。在強調(diào)時間、地點、原因或方式狀語時，一律用that，而不用when, why或how；在強調(diào)主語和賓語時，如果主語和賓語指代人，則可用who和whom來代替that, 但是從句中的人稱和數(shù)要與被強調(diào)的主語和賓語保持一致。這些都容易與定語從句混淆。定語從句和強調(diào)句型的判斷方法：若將句中的“It is/was”和“that/who”去掉，而句子不缺成分，結(jié)構(gòu)完整，說明原句是強調(diào)句型；若句子結(jié)構(gòu)不完整，則說明原句為定語從句。

Practice: 1. It was not until 1920 ____ regular radio broadcasts began.(1995高考卷)

A. while B. which C. that D. since

2. ____ was his kindness that everyone praised him.

A. It B. What C. So D. Such
