教学过程
Step 1 Free-talk (3mins)
What things do you think were unfair in South Africa?
[意图说明] 回顾上节阅读课所学内容,引入新课话题。
Step 2 Read and answer the following questions (5mins)
Unfair situations in South Africa
It was a time when the black were less important in South Africa. The black people were badly treated or even beaten by the white. The black children were only allowed to go to church schools, where they still couldn't enjoy the same rights as white children. The place where black people could live was decided by the white. A famous photo shows that a black man got on a whites-only bus by mistake, for which he became very nervous. Truly they had reached a situation in which the black had almost no right at all. That’s the reason why there appeared lots of brave fighters, among whom Nelson Mandela was the most famous one.
