SPECIAL NOTE: Many older houses in Amsterdam have more than one floor.The topmost floor is called an”attic? which is usually a place to store seldom-used things.Amsterdam is the capital of Holland, now more commonly called the Netherlands.The city lies near the sea and has many narrow man-made canals.The house where Anne\'s family hid was by a canal and bridge.Like most old houses in the city, it had two apartments on each floor: one set facing the canal and the other looking onto a garden.Anne\'s apartment faced the garden.Anne and her family hid there for over two years before they were discovered.They were taken to concentration camps in Poland where all of them died except Mr Frank.The house is now a museum for Anne.The primary school she attended in Amsterdam is now named after her.Every year she is remembered in a travelling exhibition that explains her life.

WARMING UP
The purpose of this part of the unit is to introduce the topic to the students in an interesting way.To \"Warm up\" means to do a bit of preparation for a large learning task.In particular, the students should begin to think about the topic.
This section of this unit begins with a survey.A survey is a way of finding out what people think and feel about a particular subject.This survey examines whether the students are good friends.In doing so, it should make them consider what qualities and behaviour make a good friend.This survey only considers a view of friendship common to people of the same age.It should be noted that this is the first of many activities designed for self-reflection in this textbook.
The following are suggestions for introducing the topic of this unit:
1 Get the students to make a list of three qualities a good friend should have.
2 Have students get into groups of four to find out what qualities each has listed.
3 Have a member of each group report on what their lists have in common and list them on the board.
4 Ask the class whether or not they agree with all the qualities listed.
5 Now have students do the survey in the textbook.
6 Have students look again at the list to see whether it should be revised.
Explanation of each item:
Question 1
This question deals with how thoughtful you are towards others.How much do you value your friend? Is it enough to help him / her? Would you change the time of the day you go to the cinema to fit in with him / her? The scoring reflects your concern for others.So one point for A gets the lowest score because it is the most selfish response.B gets the highest score because it shows a concern for your friend as well as your wish to go to see a film.C gets a slightly lower score because although it shows you want to go with your friend (because you change the plan), you do not help your friend.
Question 2
This question is concerned with fairness.Is it fair for your friend to borrow something, break it and return it broken? A gets the lowest score because you are not giving your friend another chance to behave better this time.B gets a higher score because you let your friend borrow the camera again.This shows kindness and forgiveness for the trouble you had when it was returned broken.But you are not balancing his needs against your own.That is why C gets the highest score.You are showing your friend that you will trust him / her with the camera again but this time you are giving him / her rules in case it gets broken. |
