【正文】 read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me. IV. Closing down Closing down by doing exercises To end the lesson you are to do the prehending exercises No. 1, 2, 3 and 4. Closing down by having a discussion Do you think the TV anizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs? Why? For reference: I don?t think the TV anizers were right to call “The Monkees” a band when they did not sing or write their own songs because singing and writing its own songs was the basis of a band. Do you agree that the jokes were more important than the music for this band? Give a reason. For reference: Yes. I think it is the jokes that really attract more fans. No. I think the purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of music. It?s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh. Closing down by retelling the form of the band The Monkees. I shall write some key words and expressions on the board. You are to retell the form of the band according to these words. For reference: begin as a TV show, the TV anizers, look for, put an advertisement in a newspaper, use actors for the other members of the band, pretend to sing Period 2: A sample lesson plan for Learning about Language (The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋ which/ whom). Aims To help students learn about the Attributive Clause with a preposition in front. To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions. To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures. Procedures I. Warming up Warming up by discovering useful words and expressions Turn to page 35 and do exercises No. 1, 2 and 3 first. Check your answers against your classmates?. II. Learning about grammar and thinking Turn to page 34 and read with me the text of THE BAND THAT WASN?t. As you read on, pay attention to The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋ which/ whom), that is, the attributive clauses with a preposition ahead of the relative pronoun shown in the sentences. For reference: The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band. exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 35 Turn to page 34. Look at the two sentences: The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band. Pay attention to the structure: preposition + relative pronoun. Usually only two relative pronouns which and whom can be used in the Attributive Clause, with a preposition put before the clause. That can?t be used. Look at the screen. Here are more examples on this kind of structure. is the reason for which he left his hometown. (=why) ?ll never fet the day on which we stayed together. (=when) is the girl from whom I learned the news. person to whom I spoke just now is the manager that I told you about. ?ll show you a store in which you may buy all that you need.(=where) don?t like the way in which you laughed at her.(=that) Now go on to do Exercise No. 2 on page 36, that is, to sort out the sentences. III. Ready used materials for The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ by＋ which/ whom) In formal styles we often put a preposition before the relative pronouns which and whom: ?The rate at which a material heats up depends on its chemical position. ?In the novel by Peters, on which the film is based, the main character is a teenager. ?An actor with whom Gelson had previously worked contacted him about the role. ?Her many friends, among whom I like to be considered, gave her encouragement. Notice that after a preposition you can?t use who in place of whom, and you can?t use that or zero relative pronoun either: ?Is it right that politicians should make important decisions without consulting the public to whom they are accountable? (not the public to who they are accountable.) ?The valley in which the town lies is heavily polluted. (not The valley in that the town...) ?Arnold tried to gauge the speed at which they were traveling. (not the speed at they were traveling.) In informal English we usually put the preposition at the end in attributive clauses rather than at the beginning: ?The office which Graham led the way to was filled with books. ?Jim?s footballing ability, which he was noted for, had been encouraged by his parents. ?The playground wasn?t used by those children who it was built for. In this case we prefer who rather than whom (although whom is used in formal contexts). In restrictive attributive clauses we can also use that or zero relative pronoun instead of who or which (. ...the children (that) it was built for). If the verb in attributive clauses is a twoorthreeword verb (. e across, fill in, go through, look after, look up to, put up with, take on) we don?t usually put the preposition at the beginning: ? Your essay is one of those (which/that) I?ll go through tomorrow. (rather than...through which I?ll go tomorrow.) ? She is one of the few people (who/that) I look up to. (not ... to whom I look up.) In formal written English, we often prefer to use of which rather than whose to talk about things: ?A huge amount of oil was spilled, the effects of which are still being felt. (or...whose effects are still being felt.) ?The end of the war, the anniversary of which is on the 16th of November, will be memorated in cities throughout the country. (o
