II. Teaching Procedures 教学过程:

Pre-reading Activities:

1. Topic elicitation

a. Who is the richest man in the America nowadays? Is Bill Gates still the richest man? Probable answers:

After 13 years on top, Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world. That honor now belongs to his friend and sometimes bridge partner Warren Buffett.

Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway stock, Buffett has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago.

Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third richest in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been as rich--or richer--than Buffett, had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! at the beginning of February. Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú now ranks as the world's second richest person with a net worth of $60 billion.

b. Today we will learn another richest man in America, but he was the richest man 20 years ago. Do you know who he is?

Probable answers:

T will introduce some background information about Wal-Mart and its founder Sam Walton. While-reading Activities:

1. Title analysis

1.1 Explanation on the title: the richest man in America: Sam M Walton down home: the informal simple qualities of typical rural southern American people.

4

1.2 Ask Ss find the most important words in the title (richest, down home) and guess the style of the text from the four choices: narration, description, exposition and argumentation

2. Text analysis

2.1. Text organization

Ask Ss to skim Text A and find how many parts can this text be divided. (hint: there is a blank line between each part) and finish the Text Organization (Exercise1 on page 40) so as to grasp the main function of each part. Peer discussion in English is allowed.

2.2 Part one: Sam Walton‘s life:

a. Ss skim Part 1 and discuss the questions:

What’s the richest man life in Jamie Beaulieu imagination? (Ask Ss to answer the question then T presents it in POWERPOINT)

b. What made the waiter Jamie Beaulieu feel disappointed? (T presents it in POWERPOINT) c. Try to explain the sentence at Line5-8.

2.3 Part two: Sam Walton’s folksy ways and he has no special treatment.

a. Ss scan part 2

b. Group Discussion

Ask Ss discuss with their partner what kind of person the richest man is and ask then to give examples in their own words.

2.4 Part three: Sam Walton’s devotion to the Wal- Mart team.

a. No matter how busy he is, he will attend the Friday’s sales meetings or Saturday’s pep rally. Ask Ss to give examples and introduce the famous Wal-Mart cheer.

b. Wal-Mart stores are always on his mind (the example of tennis). His concerns for his employees are always on his mind. E.g. He set up a college scholarship fund for employees’ children, a 5

disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damaged by fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. He rewarded successful and hard-wording employees.

2.5 T explains language points and give Ss practice (see Language Study)

2.6 Discourse comprehension:

a. finding synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home”

①T asks some Ss to explain the title of Text A in their own words.

②Ss work alone to find out synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home”.

③Some Ss report their findings to the class.

Para5 carry on like plain folks

Para6 folksy ways

Para7 friendly, cheerful, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight around

Para11 not a front-page person

Output: T reminds Ss to vary their own writings by synonyms or synonymous phrases. b. Using indirect description in portraying a person

①Ss complete Text Organization Exercise 2.

②T makes Ss think by asking Ss this question: How does the author reveal these character traits of Sam Walton? Does he come forward to tell us directly what Sam Walton is like?

③T introduces indirect description to Ss:

i To make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce.

ii the methods of indirect description------anecdotes, examples, quotes, comparison and contrast, etc.

iii T asks Ss to work in pairs to find out examples of these methods used in this text.

Quotation: the author quotes not only from Sam Walton himself, but also from his employees. e.g. “The reason for our success… is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit”, Anecdote: the text begins with an anecdote.

e.g. at the beginning, how waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons, only to find an ordinary-looking household.

e.g. how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber.

e.g. how Sam Walton lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.

Example: the author uses a lot of examples to show how folksy and generous Sam Walton is. 6

Contrast and comparison: e.g. the waiter Jamie Beaulieu’s anticipation and the reality he later found out form a contrast. It reveals Sam Walton’s down-home characteristics.

e.g. when retired company president Ferold F. Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer, we appreciate further Sam Walton’s generosity.

v T urges Ss to adopt these methods when describing a person.

3. Summary

a. main idea: despite his wealth, Sam Walton remains down-home and devoted to his team b. structure of the text:

An essay usually can be divided into three parts: an introduction where the topic is elicited; a body part where the topic is explained in detail and a conclusion part where the main idea is repeated. This text have the introduction part ( a contrast between the richest man’s life in people’s imagination and his real life ) and the body part ( Sam Walton’s folksy ways and his devotion to his team)

c. How to portray a person:

Methods of indirect description are used such as anecdotes, examples, quotes, comparison and contrast.

Post-reading tasks:
