Period 6 Reading and Writing

The General Idea of This Period

In this period, teacher will help to train the students’ integrating skills, including reading, listening and speaking and writing skills.

Almost all the activities in this period are based on the story of Guy Fawkes’ planning to replace the then government. In the Reading part, the students should first learn about the story and the origin of the celebration. Then they will talk about the three main characters in the story. The students will finish this task in groups of four, with the fourth student acting as a witness. In this part, the students are asked to fully understand the main characteristics of the person that they choose to act.

In Listening part, the students can get more related background. They will do some true-or- false exercises, answer some questions and fill in the chart. Then the students will have a discussion in groups about the reasons for King James’ and Guy Fawkes’ actions. They should also choose one of them to feel sympathy for and find out the reasons. This step doesn’t only provide the students a chance to train their listening ability but also provide them knowledge about a particular celebration in the UK. Above all, the students are given the chance and topics to practice speaking and cooperating with others.

Then the students will choose one of the serious things in their lives. They should analyze the problems and put forward some suggestions to deal with the problems. They should write a letter to someone to ask for help. This part is just to train the students’ writing ability.

T: Here is a picture of all the people that took part in the plan.

T: What did the main characters in the passage do in the story? Let’s talk about King James first.

S: King James of Scotland became king of England in 1603.He seemed happy to be friendly to both Catholics and Protestants and let them both practice Christianity in their own ways. Later he changed his mind. Before the opening of the Parliament he was told about Guy Fawkes’s plan and decided to search those cellars, where he discovered some gunpowder. He had Guy Fawkes killed at the Tower of London. Later he decided that he did not want his people to forget how close the government had come to disaster. So he made November 5th into a yearly celebration.

S: Guy Fawkes was one kind of Christian, a Catholic, but the government of England usually supported the Protestant cause. On October 10th, 1605 Robert Catesby asked him if he would support a plan to change the government and replace it with another that supported the Catholic cause.Fawkes agreed. Then they bought a house close to the Houses of Parliament and bought large containers of gunpowder and stored them in the cellar. He waited by the gunpowder to start the fire on November 6th, when the Parliament opened. But he was found by the soldiers sent by King James. Guy Fawkes was taken to the Tower of London to be killed.

S: Robert Catesby was Guy Fawkes’s friend. It was he that persuaded Fawkes to take part in the plan to replace the government. He bought the house and gunpowder with Fawkes .When King James sent the soldiers to search those cellars, he took flight and ran away.

T: Yes, these are the main things that they did. Step 4 Group Work

(Teacher divides the whole class into groups of four.)

T: You are going to retell this story in a group. Decide whether you would like to be Guy Fawkes, Robert Catesby, King James or an eyewitness. Think about what your character would say or do. When you are ready, practice your speech so that you tell the story as a group. While doing this, remember to introduce your character and explain reasons for your behaviour.

(Students work in groups. Meanwhile, the teacher goes around the classroom and helps them solve any problem that they may have.)

(After a few minutes, the teacher asks one group to come to the front to demonstrate their story.)

Step 5 Listening

T: In order to know the related background better, we are going to do a listening test.First listen to the tape, and decide which sentences are true and which are false. Tick the correct boxes.

(Teacher plays the tape once and checks the answers with the whole class.) (If possible, the teacher can ask the students to correct the wrong statements.)
