T: yes. There are only little of them. So I have prepared some pictures for you. Let’s see them together.

(Teacher walks around the classroom and show pictures)

T: very beautiful, right?

S: yes.

T: just now, we were looking the ancient buildings as a whole, now, let’s look closely at the parts of them. First, please look at the doors and windows. In front of the doors, there are different statues, right?

S: yes.

T: and let’s see here. The windows have different shapes and the doors are round, right?

S:yes

T: let’s see this one. What’s the shape of the door?

S: like a moon.

T: yes. It’s in shape of the moon, and the window is round, like the sun. So, they are called “日月窗”. Do you think it is very vivid?

S: yes.

T: and here, this window, in the shape of a book, right?

S: yes.

T: so, windows of ancient buildings have diferent shapes. What about that of modern buildings? Do they have different shapes?

S: no.

T: yes. They are all square.

T: ok. Let’s see next. They are pillars. There are two obvious features of ancient buildings. One is that they have pillars, do you know what’s another?

S: …..roof.

T: yes. Some ss have got it. It’s roof. We’ll deal with it later. Let’s see the pillars first. The pillars of ancient buildings always have a base. We call it “base of pillars”. Let’s look at them. They are carved into different shapes, right?

S: yes.

T: another feature of ancient buildings is that they have roofs that are very different from that of modern buildings.

(continue to show pictures.)

T: ancient buildings are so beautiful. When you enter them, what do you feel?

S: ….

T: do you feel cold? 冷冰冰?

T: and what about the materials? What are they made of?

S: stone, wood….

T: yes. They are made of stone, wood and bricks.

Step3. talk about modern buildings

T: ok. This is the ancient buildings. What about modern buildings?

S:….

T: look around at our classroom. Is our classroom a kind of modern buildings? Do you think it is beautiful?

S: no.

T: yes. It’s not beautiful. All white walls,right? Very boring. And look at the windows. Do they have different shapes?

S: no.

T: yes. They are all in the same shape. And on the windows, are there any decorations?

S: no.

T: What are they made of? (knock at the windows)

S: glass, …

T: yes. Glass and steel. What about the walls? What are they made of ?

S: ….

T: concrete. They are made of concrete. When we enter this classroom, will we feel warm?

S: no.

T: yes. We feel cold here. And it is not beautiful and not friendly. Right?

S: yes.

Step4. compare ancient buildings with modern buildings.

Activity1: make clear the key point of modern architecture

T: ok, just now, we said the ancient buildings are beautiful, natural and friendly, but the modern buildings are not beautiful, unnatural and unfriendly. So why do we live in the modern buildings nowadays?

S: they are strong , convenient….

T: yes, good, anything else?

S: …..

T: actually, the most important reason is that modern buildings are much more practical. Pratical means useful, 有用的,实用的。 For example, some doors of ancient buildings are round, while that of modern buildings are square and spacious, right?

S: yes.

T: do you think 5 or 6 people can walk through that round-shaped door at the same time?

S: no.

T: yes. They can’t , or it is very difficult for them, but the door of our classroom can hold 5 or 6 persons at the same time, right?

S: yes.

T: so, practicality is the core of modern architecture. 实用性是现代建筑的核心。 Do you understand now?

S: yes.

T: this idea was put up by some modern architects, and now we call it modernism. So we can say modernism means practicality. Are you clear?

S: yes.

T: ok. Good. Now, let’s see our text book. It also tells us something about modernism. Open your books to page 19. let’s look at para.2 first. Read this paragraph and answer two questions on the slide.

T: good. And what is modernism? Have you found the answer?

S: …..

T: ok, maybe this question is a bit difficult. Let’s see it together. Let’s disintegrate the long sentence on the book first. Who invented modernism?

S: a group of architects.

T: good. So what did they want to do ?

S: they wanted to change society with buildings that went agaimst people’s feeling o f beautiful.

T: excellent. Now, we’ve got our answer.

T: ok, what’s the relation with nature? Ancient buildings stand much closer to nature and modern buildings look unnatural, right?

S: yes.

Step5. some language points
