5、教学步骤(teaching procedure)
Step I. Lead in
T: Hello, class! Today let’s find something interesting in our daily life. At first, can you remember something in the text: “But some of the Nazis secretly stole the Amber Room itself. In less than two days, 100,000 pieces of the room were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.”? Why can we say that the Nazis stole the Amber room and sent some of it to their country?
S1: Perhaps that’s because somebody saw they did so.
S2: Because the Room was so wonderful that they wanted to get it and then they would become rich on it.
T: Perhaps you are right. Well, the person who saw them do so is the most important, I think. We call such kind of person witness. But how can we decide that the witness is telling the truth? Well, let’s have a look at some pictures. In Picture a, the man in suit is saying: “I see you’re aiding the terrorists”. But the other man is answering: “Dissent”, which means that he disagrees with what the man was saying. Why? Then, let’s say something about Picture b. The title of the pictures is: “People have been led to believe that Iraq caused 9/11”. Why is it so?

Step II Introduce “evidence & opinion”
T: Now let’s read two jokes. Then I’ll ask you questions. The first one is from Belgium. A man in Belgium was arrested because police suspected that he had robbed a jewelry store. The man swore he did not do it. When the police asked if he had an alibi, he explained that he had been busy breaking into a school at the same time, Police dropped the jewelry store charges and instead arrested him for breaking into the school. Then the second: A man and his girlfriend were robbing a convenience stor. While waiting for her boyfriend to finish getting the money, the woman noticed a contest entry form. Thinking it would be cool to win, she filled out the form; complete with her name, address, and phone number, A few hours later the police were at the couple’s house to arrest them. Do you know why the police arrested the persons?
S3: Let me have a try. I think the persons in the jokes are so stupid. They told the police what they did and left a lot of information about themselves to the police.
T: Very good, thank you, S3. In other words, the police got some evidences easily from them. So, what is the evidence? Please turn to P5 and listen to the tape. Then, I’ll ask “what is an evidence and what is a fact”.
(Play the tape recorder)
T: Well, who’d like to tell me what evidence is?
S4: Evidence is a fact, which can be proved.
S5: An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.
T: In your opinion, which is more impo
