Step2. Talk about ancient buildings (10 minutes)
T: Modern buildings develoo from ancient buildings , right?
S: yes.
T: so, before we talk about modern architecture, we should first see what ancient buildings are like, right?
S: yes.
T: but, can we find many ancient buildings around us nowadays?
S: no.
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?
S: no
T: no. We’ll feel warm. And we’ll also feel natural and friendly, 还会感觉自然和亲切,对吗?

T: yes. They are made of stone, wood and bricks.
Step3. talk about modern buildings (5 minutes)
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. We feel cold here. And it is not beautiful and not friendly. Right?
S: yes.
Step4. compare ancient buildings with modern buildings. (15minutes)
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.

S: in the 1920s.
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.
(slide1 show answers)
T: I say modernism in architecture, because modernism is a far-reaching idea. It had effects on many fields, not only in architecture. Are you clear?
S: yes.
Activity2. compare ancient buildings with modern buildings
T: good. This is modernism. Just now, we’ve compared ancient buildings with modern buildings, right? With pictures, we talked about ancient buildings and with our classroom, we talked about modern buildings. So please read paragraph 3,4, and 5, and then finish this table on the slide. You can discuss with your partner.

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 (12 minutes)
T: Good job. Just now, we have read para.2 to 5. Now, let’s see the language points in these 4 paragraphs. First let’s look at para.3, “while in traditional architecture…..”, what does “while” mean here?
………
(slide2)
T: then let’s see what does “equal” mean here.
S:……
T: and let’s see another word in para.4, “impress”.

T: great. I think most of you are very familiar with the attributive clause. Now, let’s see the first sentence. What does “despite” mean here?
S: 虽然,尽管
T: yes. Despite means尽管. It is a preposition. It must be followed by a noun. So in this sentense “the fact” is followed. Right?
S: yes.
T: then after the fact, there is a that-clause. What clause is it? It is not an attributive clause, you’ve just said. It is the content of the word “th fact” , right?
S: yes.
T: ok. We call this kind of clause appositive clause. Are you clear?&nbs
