Unit 4 Section A Five Famous Symbols of American CulturePart One: Objectives1. To learn and talk about five symbols of the United States;2. To develop a story by time sequence;3. To hold a press conference on the Statue of liberty;4. To explore the famous symbols in Chinese culturePart Two: Warming up1. These symbols stand for …The Eiffel Towel FranceThe Pyramids EgyptThe Opera House AustraliaPantheon GreeceBig Ben EnglandRed Square RussiaThe Leaning Tower ItalyBeijing Opera China2. Other American SymbolsThe White HouseHollywood MovieThe statue of LibertyMcDonalds, KFCBarbieCountry MusicUncle SamCoca-colaNBA…3. Chinese SymbolsChinese Musical InstrumentsKongfuConfuciusDragonPotteryQi-paoChinese SilkChinese MedicineThe Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑)CalligraphyThe Imperial Palace4. Which can be a tribute to an event of historical significance?1)The Statue of Liberty was designed to celebrate US victory in the war of independence, as a tribute to the desire of US people for liberty and freedom.2) The Monument of the People’s Heroes was dedicated to the lives given for the founding of New China, as a token of the Chinese people’s resolve to abolish the exploiting system.3) Peking Opera, though characteristic of Chinese people’s quest for excellence in music and art, it does not meet our given criterion for cultural symbols.4) NBA (short for the National Basketball Association) is not in line with our criterion here despite the fact that it has already been descriptive of the American culture and popular all over the world.5. Which can be descriptive of people’s inspiration?American Gothic, Compass, and Barbie Doll all shine with people’s inspiration. American Gothic is a painting of inspiration from the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in it make it peculiar to American spirits. The compass is an instrument of inspiration from earth induction, which in turn glows with the Chinese wisdom. And Barbie Doll is the outcome of inspiration from a German doll, but now the refashioned doll has become the queen of all dolls. The White House and the Imperial Palace in Beijing may be descriptive of architectural styles peculiar to American and Chinese cultures respectively, but it is their special residents that make them typical of both cultures. The White House is a building where every American president in office lives, naturally it stands for the American government, similarly The Forbidden City was once a place where every emperor of Qing Dynasty lived.6. What can serve as a typical witness to tragedies in history of one culture?Some cultural symbols serve to remind a nation of her tragedies in history. When it comes to Yuanming Yuan, for instance, we tend to think of Eight-Power Allied Forces and the scars they made on China. Buffalo Nickel bears witness to two tragedies in US history—the destruction of the buffalo herds and the destruction of the American Indians. As for the Great Wall, most of us believe it reflects the inspiration and industriousness of our ancestors, but in view of its purpose, some also regard it as a witness to our nation’s self-seclusion and vulnerability.7. Which of the following can be seen as a product of times?It is said that times produce their heroes. If so, the greatness of Abraham Lincoln lies in his epoch that gave full play to his talents in abolishing slavery and bringing states into a unity, which in turn proved him to be a symbol of justice and democracy. Uncle Sam was born into the era of American Revolution to liberate America from Britain, thus turning him into a figure of trust, strength, and patriotism.Lei Feng is a hero of times in our culture. In effect, Lei Feng was a mirror of the age when the Chinese people were full of enthusiasm for socialist construction as well as gratitude for their liberty. But the concept of times and heroes has no bearing on the birth of Confucius. Instead, he was such a great philosopher that his school of thought has had great effect on our pattern of seeing things.8. Why does the guide in the video see the Statue of Liberty as the most enduring symbol of the American culture?“It’s as American as baseball, hot dogs and apple pie”is commonly used to express that something owes its invention to the United States. But, while very few would dispute baseball’s origin, the claim to hot dogs and apple pie can be argued at length. Here are five more inventions and symbols that are definitely American: the Statue of Liberty, which, though given as a gift from the French, has always symbolized the concept of freedom; the Barbie doll, which has become the queen of all toys; American Gothic, a portrait showing a farmer and his wife; the Buffalo nickel, atribute to the buffalo and the Native American people who were killed and displaced to make room for European expansion; and finally, the image of Uncle Sam, which represents American resolve, strength, and patriotism.The Statue of Liberty stands not only for the most important event in the US history, the War of Independence, but also for the nation’s quest for the spirit of liberty, as the Declaration of Independence goes, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. That is why the statue is ranked as the first symbol of the American culture.9.Is it necessary to conduct the patriotic education among the youth of today?Much to our distress, these years have seen a gross neglect of patriotic education in our society, as a result of more and more weight being attached to the economic effects or the material gains. According to some official reports, many of the national heroes in the Chinese history have given way to pop stars in young people’s minds. In view of the above, there is a great need to inculcate patriotism in the youth of today. Through patriotic education, young people will know more about the glorious history of our nation, thus building up their sense of pride as Chinese. Moreover, young people will cherish today’s hard-earned life and draw on more of their potentials to make tomorrow’s life better for the sake of our nation.Part Three: Related Information1. The Statue of Liberty:The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France, unveiled on 28 October 1886 at Liberty Island in New York Harbor as a welcome to all visitors, immigrants, and returning Americans.2. Uncle Sam:Historians aren't completely certain how the character “Uncle Sam”was created, or who he was named after. The prevailing theory is that Uncle Sam was named after Samuel Wilson. Wilson was born in Arlington, Mass., on September 13, 1766. His childhood home was in Mason, New Hampshire. In 1789, he and his brother Ebenezer walked to Troy, New York. During the War of 1812, Wilson was in the business of slaughtering and packing meat. He provided large shipments of meat to the U.S. Army, in barrels that were stamped with the initials “US”. Supposedly, someone who saw the “US”stamp suggested—perhaps as a joke—that the initials stood for “Uncle Sam”Wilson. The suggestion that the meat shipments came from “Uncle Sam”led to the idea that Uncle Sam symbolized the federal government. Samuel Wilson died in 1854. His grave is in theOakwood Cemetery in Troy.3. American Gothic:American Gothic depicts a farmer and his spinster daughter posing before their house, whose gabled window and tracery, in the American Gothic style, inspired the painting’s title. In fact, the models were the painter’s sister and their dentist. Wood was accused of creating in this work a satire on the intolerance and rigidity that the insular nature of rural life can produce; he denied the accusation. American Gothic is an image that epitomizes the Puritan ethic and virtues that he believed dignified the Midwestern character.4. Political cartoons:Virtually every newspaper in the US, and many other countries, publishes at least onepolitical cartoon on its editorial page. These cartoons satirize events reported in the newspaper. Often, they include caricatures, or funny drawings, of politicians, such as the president. For example, Uncle Sam, the representation of the United States, appears frequently in political cartoons.5. Country Music:Country music is a blend of popular musical forms originally found in the Southern United States and the Appalachian Mountains. It has roots in traditional folk music, Celtic music, blues, gospel music, hokum, and old-time music and evolved rapidly in the 1920s. The term country music began to be used in the 1940s when the earlier term hillbilly music was deemed to be degrading, and the term was widely embraced in the 1970s, while country and western has declined in use since that time, except in the United Kingdom, where it is still commonly used. 6. White House:The White House is the official home and principal workplace of the President of the United States. Built between 1792 and 1800 of white- painted Aquia sandstone in the late Georgian style, it has been the executive residence of every U.S. President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the home in 1801, he, with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades which were meant to conceal stables and storage.7. McDonald’s:McDonald's is the world's largest chain of fast food restaurants, serving nearly 47 million customers daily. McDonald's primarily sells hamburgers, cheeseburgers, chicken products, French fries, breakfast items, soft drinks, milkshakes and desserts. More recently, it also began to offer salads, wraps and fruit. Many McDonald's restaurants have included a playground for children and advertising geared toward children, and some have been redesigned in a more ‘natural’style, with a particular emphasis on comfort and the absence of hard plastic chairs and tables.8. The Buffalo Nickel:The Buffalo nickel is a five-cent coin in the US that bears “truly American”symbols on it, i.e. buffalo and native Indians. It was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser and its first production began in 1913.9. The Central Park Zoo:The Central Park Zoo, located in New York City’s Central Park at 64th Street and Fifth Avenue, features two separate areas: the wildlife center and the petting zoo. One of the most visited events at the zoo is sea lion feedings which take place in the Central Park several times per day.Part Four: Text UnderstandingI. Idea CatchingThe Birth of the TextCriterion I: A tribute to something significant in history, like the Statue of Liberty.Criterion II: Descriptive of Americans’inspiration, like the Barbie Doll and American Gothic. Criterion III: A witness to tragedies in the American history, like the Buffalo Nickel.Criterion IV: A special product of times in history, like Uncle Sam.II. Structure Analysis1.What is the text mainly about?The text is about five famous symbols of American culture, telling readers these information: who, in what time, designed these symbols, what made them come up with such idea...The passage is about five famous symbols of American culture, telling readers their historical backgrounds, origins and relevant stories.2. How is the text organized?The writer organized the overall structure of the passage by listing, which means that the text falls into five parts. For each part, the writer centers on one specific symbol, dealing with it from different aspects such as who created it, how he created it, when, and how the symbol was accepted, etc. Now let‟s see the block diagram below:Part I Main idea: To celebrate US independence and the France-America alliance, a French artist created the Statue of Liberty, with his wife’s arm and his mother’s face as models for his creation.Devices for developing it: Time SequenceTime markers: In the mid-1870s, At the same time, in 1876, That same year, In 1886.

It became popular later because of a character in political cartoons. An artist created its portrait in army recruiting posters.Devices for developing it: Time Sequence: (Refer to Para. 15-17)Time markers: during the American Revolution (1775-1783), when Sam Wilson was 23 years old, during a later war in 1812, after the war, during World Wars I and II1.

HomeworkNHCE-BIII-Unit 4 I: ObjectivesMENU •Objectives•Students would:• 1. be able to successfully finish listening, speaking, reading and writing tasks related to the theme of ―symbols of American culture‖, with the help of theme vocabulary.• 2. improve the accuracy of their spoken and written output, thanks to theme words and expressions.• 3. improve the fluency of their spoken output during the completion of the chains of tasks.•4. have an understanding about the essence of American and Chinese culture.1. About American Culture:Most Americans see themselves first as individuals and then as a member of a community, family or other groups. Some people from other countries view this as being ―selfish‖. Others view it as freedom from constraints.IndividualismThe main content of American culture is the emphasis on individuals' value, the pursuit of democracy and freedom, the promotion of deploitation (开拓, 经营), competition, and the need of realism and practicality.Equality and InformalityMost Americans treat each other in informal ways, even in the presence of great differences in age or social standing. Some see this as a ―lack of respect‖. Others see it as a healthy lack of concern for social ritual (礼仪).2.A Poem Inscribed on the Statue of LibertyThe New Colossusby Emma Lazarus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightning, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame."Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries sheWith silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"新的巨人（New Colossus）不像那无耻的古希腊的青铜巨人，叉腿横跨征服的陆地；在这海水冲洗的日落重门，将矗立起一位手持火炬的伟大女性，火焰是被囚禁着的闪电，流放者们的母亲就是她的姓名。

Leading in activityReading together the paragraph on P.73:A defining moment is one that may change one’s life. It becomes defining because whatever choice one makes --- to stand tall, to fall backward, or to move forward --- one knows he/she will never be the same It is a moment that requires one to demonstrate his/her courage or fear, wisdom or foolishness, ability or inability to react, concern and love for him/herself or others. So when such a moment is uon one, the big question is how he/she reacts.An example: the story of Helen Keller, the day when Miss Ann Sullivan came to Helen was certainly a defining moment for this miserable girl who had been living in darkness and silence all along. Quite often, an important time may be a turning point in one’s life, bringing about many significant changes. This may apply to a group of people, or even a nation.Questions: Can you tell some other famous persons’ defining moment,or even the defining moment of a nation?Did you have a defining moment in your life?(share my defining moment with ss: in high school, to continue my study or to go to work)Suppose your dorm was on fire, or you were facing an earthquake, what would you do?IV Vocabulary snapshotdefine v.
