Warming up9Warming up by defining10Good morning, class. This period we are going to read about IN SEARCH OF THE 11AMBER ROOM. Before our reading, I’d like to know:1213A.What kind of old things are cultural relics?14B.Are all the old things cultural relics?15C.What is the definition and classification of cultural relics?16D.To whom do cultural relics belong?Warming up by presenting17Hi, everyone. Let’s look at the screen. I’ll present you some pictu res. They 18all belong to cultural relics. Some of them are cultural sites. Some of them 19are natural sites. Please think these over：2021A.Can you name them out?22B.Who have the right to confirm and classify them?Warming up by discussing23Now, boys and girls, I met a “moral dilemma”. That means I must make a choice 24between the interests of the family and the interests of the society. Things 25are like this: My old granny happened to find an ancient vase under the tree 26in th e earth of our garden. It’s so beautiful and special. Now, my family fell 27into a moral dilemma. Can you help us to make a decision:28A: What should we do?29B: Can we keep it for ourselves or report it to the government?30C: Have you come across such a situation — to make a difficult choice?31II. Pre-reading321. Looking and saying33Work in pairs. Look at the photos on the screen. All these relics are quite 34beautiful.

Let’s recall some 71key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the story of the Amber 72Room:7374Period 2: A lesson plan for Learning about Language75(The Restrictive and Non-Restrictive Attributive Clause)76Aims:77To learn about the restrictive and non-restrictive attributive clause78To discover some useful words and expressions79To discover some useful structures80Procedures:81I. Warming up82Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions83Please turn to page 3. Do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 first. Please check your answers 84against your classmates’.85Warming up by explaining86Now, class, since y ou’ve read the passage, could you explain to me how to 87use the phrase “belong to”? The word “to” here is a preposition, indicating 88the possession, and is always followed by nouns or pronoun. Look at Ex 3. The 89preposition “at” indicates a state, condition o r continuous activity. So we 90can replace them or express them by using a present-continuous tense.91II. Learning about Attributive Clause921. What is an adjective Clause?93An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective 94in another clause or phrase. Like an adjective, an adjective clause modifies95a noun or pronoun, answering questions like “which?” or “what kind of?”96Consider the following examples:97Adjective98the red coat99Adjective clause100the coat which I bought yesterday101Lik e the word “red” in the first example, the dependent clause “which I 102bought yesterday” in the second example modifies the noun “coat.” Note that 103an adjective clause usually comes after what it modifies, while an adjective 104usually comes before.105In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns 106“who(m),” “that,” or “which.” In informal writing or speech, you may leave 107out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, 108but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing: 109informal110The books people read were mainly religious.111formal112The books that people read were mainly religious.113informal114Some firefighters never meet the people they save.115formal116Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save.117Here are some more examples of adjective clauses:118the meat which they ate was tainted119This clause modifies the noun “meat” and answers the question “which 120meat?”.121They’re talking about the movie which made him cry122This clause modi fies the noun “movie” and answers the question “which 123movie?”.124They are searching for the student who borrowed the book125The clause modifies the pronoun “student” and answers the question “which 126student?”.127Did I tell you about the author whom I met?128The c lause modifies the noun “author” and answers the question “which 129author?”.1302. Restrictive & non restrictive clauses131Do the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing?1321a My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich.1332b My uncle who lives in London is very rich.1342a The policies, which were unpopular, were rejected by the voters.1352b The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters.1363a My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I 137have always treasured.1383b My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house which I have 139always treasured.140The first sentence in each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, 141and the second has a restrictive clause. A non-restrictive clause simply adds 142more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main 143clause: it is therefore bracketed off with commas (1a = an uncle who happens 144to live in London). Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in 145the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning 146of the sentence. Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is 147referred to (1b). In 2a, all policies were unpopular and all were rejected, 148whereas in 2b only the policies that were unpopular were rejected. Note that 149in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either ‘that’ or 150‘which’, whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either 151‘who/m’ or ‘that’ (the man that/whom I will marry ....).1523. A test on FORMAL ADJECTIVE CLAUSES153Directions: Combine the sentences. Use formal written English.154Use (b) as an adjective clause. Punctuate carefully.1551) (a) An antecedent is a word.

What is a culture relic? 何谓 “文化遗产”?322 Cultural relics are physical reminders of what different peoples valued in 323 the past and continue to value now. Without these relics, we could not cherish 324 cultural traditions as much or appreciate the lives of the people who practiced 325 those traditions. Although we may not often consider it, cultural relics are 326 not only the possession of one culture. In a larger sense, it can be said that 327 they belong to all peoples. For these reasons, this unit describes cultural 328 relics not from China but other places. Looking at it from another angle, it 329 can also be said that cultural relics preserves some aspect of cultural heritage330and each relic, regardless of whether the same hands created many examples of 331it, is still a unique cultural expression and contribution.332II. The cultural relics of China in the world heritage site list《世界文化333遗产名录》中的30处中国文遗产334本单元的主题是“文化遗产”，学生很可能已经亲身接触过当地的文化遗产，或是能335过电视、报纸等媒体对此有了一定的了解，因此，在课前教师可让学生列举国内外著名336的文化遗产，然后对“文化遗产”给出定义、分类或划分标准。
