　　volunteer?

　　S: Let me try. I think the second report is reported more truthfully

　　than the first one.

　　caused trouble for workers. It is unbelievable without full proof.

　　T: (To the others.)Do you agree with him/her?

　　(Teacher gives the students enough time to do that. At the end,

　　teacher asks for the students' pinions and different opinions are

　　encouraged to eXPress. )

　　Step V Reporting

　　speaking activity and look at the events you chose. Then think about

　　the following questions on the screen.

　　1. How would you report them?

　　2. What pictures would you use and why?

　　3. What headlines would you use? Why?

　　And then choose one of the events and write the short newspaper

　　article about it. Finally, compare your articles with your group

　　members. After class, hand in your articles. Are you clear?

　　Ss: Yes.

　　(Teacher goes around the class, giving them directions if necessary.

　　Sample reports:

　　Step VI Writing

　　T: Now, turn to Page 16. It's time for you to write a comparison

　　paragraph. Before writing, please read the following instruction. It

　　may be helpful for you to write your paragraph.

　　(First, teacher asks one students to read through the instruction.

　　Then teacher sums up some key points.)

　　T: From the instruction, we know, to write a comparison paragraph,

　　the first thing you should do is to think about the things you are

　　going to compare before you write; then you should eXPlain how two

　　or more things, places, people or ideas are similar to or different

　　from each other; besides, you should think about what

　　characteristics or features are the most important, and what

　　differences or similarities will help the reader understand the

　　things you are comparing. All these things are important. You must

　　pay special attention to. Do you know how to write a comparision

　　paragraph now?

　　Ss: Yes.

　　T: Next, please look at the following information about the

　　comparison between websites and newspapers. It may help you write

　　your paragraph. You can read it before preparing for your

　　comparison paragraph. Of course, you can choose any other kinds of

　　media to compare. (Teacher allows the students enough time to

　　prepare. After they finish it, teacher can show the following

　　checklist for the students to revise what they have written and make

　　some necessary changes. )

　　Does your paragraph have a topic sentence?

　　Is it easy to understand what you are eXPlaining?

　　Do your supporting sentences focus on the main idea?

　　Have you used enough examples?

　　Does your paragraph have a closing sentence?

　　Is your paragraph interesting?

　　Check your spelling.

　　Does each sentence have a subject and a verb?

　　Do the subjects and verbs agree with each other?

　　Sample comparison paragraph:

　　As two main media, TV and newspaper have much in common. Both of

　　them can provide the information needed by people, trying to cater

　　for the different tastes of people on all sides of life. Mean while,

　　they make money and survive in the society by selling ads. On the

　　other hand, it is the difference between them that makes them have

　　their own characteristics. TV can “broadcast” the information you

　　want while newspaper can’t TV can provide a series of lively

　　consecutive pictures while newspaper only has printed pictures on

　　it. Most of time, TV offers information for free while newspaper

　　costs you money. As to which is convenient, TV is not much as easy

　　as to be taken as newspaper.
