Check 5.1 appreciation

Getting started with the pictures
In order to get students involved in the project, draw their attention
on the pictures on pages 97 and 98. They should be able to recognize
Nelson Mandela and the handshake between a black and a white
man. Ask them what particular thing they like in Nelson Mandela and
if they know any other famous person who possesses the same
values. They should be able to mention Mandela’s heroism, his
probity, his charisma and his communicative skills.
Martin Luther King and Barack Obama could also be named for their
famous speeches. Write some of the sentences of ‘I have a dream’
by Martin Luther King on the board and ask anyone to imitate the
author.
Check 5.1 Reading about the speech • Either read the speech aloud
to the students, or ask a very good student to do this, or have
students read the speech silently.
• If teacher chooses to read the speech aloud to the students, he
needs time to practice it first so as to sound very natural. While he
reads, students should have their book closed. He could even set a
task for them:
Task: Listen to this speech and decide whether these statements are
true or false:
a) The speech is about south Africa financial situation
b) The speech is about Black people emancipation in south Africa
c) The speech is about unity and progress
Answers: a) False; b) True; c) true
•
Students read the text on their own, find answers to the questions in
their books and then give them orally.
Answers:
1. Examples : The first three sentences are similar : The time … has
come. The moment … has come. The time … is upon us.
-
‘a complete, just and lasting peace’
-
‘for national reconciliation, for nation-building, for the birth of a new
world’
-
‘let there be … three times
-
‘the body, the mind and the soul’
-
(Never, never and never again …’
Effects:
-
Where the three items are complete sentences, a climax develops so
that the third point has extra force
-
When there are just three words or phrases, the effect is one of
balance, harmony and a natural sense of completeness.
-
Where one word is repeated, as ‘never’ is, the effect is one of very
strong emphasis.
Students may like to practice saying these trios.
