TEACHING PROCEDURES
I ORGANIZATION
II WARMING UP
Get the Ss to think about cultural relics and their importance, and to give them an opportunity to use the kind of language needed to talk abput culture and cultural relics.
Picture talking page 43
Picture 1: Some pyramids and a famous statue --- the Sphinx
It lies in Egypt and the Pyramid is one of the seven wonders in the world.
Picture 2: The Great Wall in China.
The Great Wall was built during the Spring and Autumn Periods and The Warring States periods in order to keep enemy outside their kingdoms. It was joined up by Qin Shihuang during the Qin Dynasty.
On the wall, there are many watch towers, which were used to keep watch and send warnings. Nowadays, it is a great place of interest, attracting many tourists from different countries and regions. There is a saying about the Great Wall in China: “A man who doesn’t reach the Great Wall is not a true man.”
Picture 3: Stonehenge in England
Stonehenge is a circle of large standing stones located near Salisbury, in Wiltshire, England. People began building the site about 3100 BC and the construction continued in stages until about 1500 BC. It is not clear who built Stonehenge. There are many legends and myths about Stonehenge. It was once believed that Stonehenge was built by the Druids (ancient priests), but the druids were active at a time when the stones had already been in place for 2,000 years. Some believe that the site was used by early astronomers and others suggest that the site was used as a burial ground for important people. Because of the size of the stones, the complexity of their arrangement and the efforts that must have gone in to its construction, it is reasonable to assume that the site was built to serve some significant purpose.
T: The pyramids, the Great Wall, and Stonehenge are all symbols of their countries and their cultures. They are all large structures that were built by many people. The structures one had a practical importance ( burial site, defense, magic / superstition ), but now have largely symbolical value. The structures were originally built for a select few --- the pharaohs, the Emperor, the druids --- but now they belong to the people. There are several ways to justify their importance to us today: money ( from tourism ), culture, history, etc.
These places are very famous cultural relics. They are of great importance, but as we know, they are now being destroyed. Therefore, we must take action to protect them.
Extension: Ask the Ss to think about the future. Which of the buildings we have built in modern era may become the cultural relics of the future? Why?
III LISTENING page 43
Help the Ss think about the importance of cultural relics and consider steps that could be taken to protect them.

Name of the site Why is it important? What is being done to protect it?
1 The Winter Palace This site is important because it tells us about how people lived in the past. Visitors are not allowed to go inside the house. Instead, they can walk around the house and look at the park behind the house. There is also a small museum, where visitors can look at pictures of the inside of the house.
2 The Sunshine Temple The temple is an important part of our history; many important things happened here, and many poems have been written about the temple. We are trying to save the temple by building a wall between the lake and the temple. We will also move some of the things in the temple to the new museum that is being built between the mountain and the village.
3 Mt Lu Shan The mountain is an important part of China’s history and many important people have been here. We are trying to limit the number of cars on the mountain and we try to use more buses.
Extension Ask the students to think about cultural sites in their area and what is being done to protect them.

3) Maybe we can put in one or two cloisonnes represent Chinese china art. They are unique in workmanship.
4) Why not put a small statue of Buddha in? Because it represents Buddhism culture of China.
5) In my opinion, the Imperial Palace is a miniature of feudalism culture and architectural art, so I put the model of it in.
5. Fill in the form , using short sentences. ( Can be done after class.)
V SUMMARY AND HOMEWORK

A great city has a long history.
A great city is usually the capital of a country and has a large population.
A great city will produce many great people.
A city is great if something important once took place there.
I think Beijing is the capital of our country. There are many cultural sites in it, such as the Imperial Palace, the Heaven Temple, the Forbidden City and so on. So it is great.
That Paris is great is because it is the economic and political center of France. It is famous for the Eiffle Tower and the Louvre.

IV READING
A CITY OF HEROES The reading uses the reconstruction of St Petersburg as an example of how cultural relics and sites can be successfully restored or rebuilt. The text also suggests that cultural relics are an important part of a city’s and people’s culture. The efforts to restore St Petersburg’s old glory ahow the people’s determination to preserve their culture and illustrate some of difficulties facing those who undertake such a project.
The text implies that a city is only as great as its people and that the spirit of a city is more important than its building. At the same time, however, the buildings represent that spirit had become part of everyone’s life. St Petersburg was originally built for Peter the Great, but over the years it truly became property of the Russian people. So the city could be called “St Peoplesburg”.
SUMMARY
1. St Petersburg lies on the banks of the river Lena in Russia. More than three hundred years ago, the Russian Czar, Peter the Great, built a new capital here. Peter the Great was a strong and proud man, and the city reflects his personality.
2. St Petersburg has been the center of many important historical events. These events are the reason why the city has become such an important part of Russian culture and history. The people of St Petersburg fought hard against the Nazis during World War II and were determined to rebuild the city when the Nazis had left it in ruins.
3. Rebuilding the great city was difficult, but the people of St Petersburg succeeded. Using old photographs and rescued pieces of the old city, they managed to restore St Petersburg to its former glory.
4. The people of St Petersburg are heroes because they mananged to rebuild the city, proving that they are at least as great as Czar Peter.
Extension 1 Use the text as a starting point for further discussion. Culture as a concept tends to hint at “dead” culture, or culture that exists for enjoyment and admiration, rather than living culture, objects, ideas, beliefs and behaviours that define a country and its citizens. Reading about St Petersburg may encourage the students to reflect on what culture is and why it is important to us today.
Extension 2 Ask the students to imagine what cultural items from our own time will become part of the future’s “cultural past”. It may also be useful to have the students consider how we determine whether something is “culture” or not, and how we value various “types” of culture. This discussion could begin with reflections on generational “cultural differences”, and perhaps also on different concepts of culture in different countries.
Questions:
1) Why are the people of St Petersburg heroes?
First, the city was under attack for 900 days, but the people of the city never gave in. Second, restoring the city and its cultural relics seemed impossible after it was destroyed, but the people of this city would not give up. They made great efforts to rebuild it. At last, the city has been made as wonderful as in the past.
2) Who build St Petersburg? When?
The Russian Czar Peter built the city more than 300 years ago.
V POST-READING
Read the passage carefully and then answer the following questions:
1. Why do people think St Petersburg is a great city?
Because many great palaces were built in St. Petersburg. These palaces were large and beautiful, and they often looked like something out of a fairytale. The city has been the centre of many important events in history.
2. Why was it so difficult for people rebuild the old palaces?
Because St. Petersburg was almost in ruins. Buildings were destroyed, and paintings and statues lay in pieces on the ground.
3. What did people use to help them rebuild the city?
With the help of old paintings and photographs, the people of St. Petersburg were able to bring back the beauty of their culture and history.
