This is a grammar lesson, and we often call it “knowledge course”. For knowledge courses, there are two teaching methods: deductive teaching method and inductive teaching method. In order to arouse the enthusiasm and initiative of students, I adopted the inductive method to teach them new knowledge.
First, I asked the students to read the article quickly and get familiar with the main idea of it. On this basis, I asked them to read it again and pay attention to the underlined part. In the process, students could easily find similarities among these sentences.
Then I asked them to pay attention to the feature of these nouns. During their discussion, students realized that these nouns are abstract names.
Finally, I guided the student to summarize the meaning of appositive clauses by translating these sentences. That’s how I taught new knowledge.
