典范英语参考7_18 我的朋友曼德拉(3)

一组记者。曼德拉获释后，记者们对他进行了采访。老师可提示以下几个问题，如

How was your life in prison?

Why did you want to write the book Long Walk to Freedom?

Have you ever dreamed of being released from prison?

采访过程中，必要时，教师需给采访者和被采访者提示，以保证采访流畅进行。同时，教师应及时鼓励积极参与的同学，并引导学生进行深层次思考，如教师可以示范提问：

What are you fighting for?（Freedom, justice, peace.）

What makes you do that?

鼓励被采访的同学说出个性化的答案，教师适时予以帮助。

5. 人物分析（Character Analysis）：培养学生的归纳论证能力

结合以上采访环节，教师提问：What more do you know about Mandela? 可以补充相关信息，如：

He was the first black president of South Africa in history.

He fought all his life for human rights.

He served 27 years in prison.

His life was full of ups and downs.

接着提问：What sort of person do you think Mandela is? 让学生发散思维进行思考并说明依据证明自己的观点。教师可参考：He is kind, just, straightforward, aspiring, hardworking, strong-minded, brave, great-minded, devoted, firm...

6. 讨论（Discussion）：培养学生的批判性思维能力

Mandela作为一位伟人，一生致力于人权事业。把学生分成小组，结合故事内容讨论并描述Mandela心目中的理想世界，然后进一步让学生描绘自己心中的理想世界，检查讨论结果（请小组选出一位代表发言，以下问题前的关键词仅供教师参考）。

（1）ANALYSE What world is Mandela fighting for?
