(what and how, possible answers)

Activity 1
Ask
and
Answer

(1) Work in pairs and brainstorm musicians and famous music stars, telling what you know about them.
(2) Suppose you have an interview with a musician. What questions will you ask? Write them down, then share information.
Suggested answers:
1. Lang Lang, Eason Chuang, Wang Fei, Liu Huan, Jay Zhou, etc.
2. What is your musical training background?
Why do you play the piano at such an early age?
What are your goals as an artist?
Why: This activity is designed to draw students’ attention and arouse their interests in the reading material. The answers may vary from person to person, and I will share my personal experience with students.

Activity 2
Watch
and
Discuss
Play an video of one-on-one talk with Gong Lin na, and then ask the students to get the gist of the video and talk about what types of questions will be included in an interview.

Suggested answers:
1. What do you think about the style of your music?
2. What sorts of factors inspire you when composing music?
3. Can you say something about your family? Do they support you a lot?
4. What is your future goal?
5. Can you talk about your childhood? Was it different from the other ordinary children?
Why: In order to make the students familiar with the topics included in an interview, I will play a video of one-on-one talk with Gong Lin na, and then ask the students to get the gist of the video and think about what sorts of questions appear in the interview. Based on this activity, the students may have an idea of the basic structure of an interview and naturally join in the reading activity.

Activity 3
Read
and
Fill
Information about Liu Fang
Career

Year of birth

Hometown

The place she is living now

The school she went to

The training she received

Suggested answers:

A pipa soloist, 1974, Kunming, Canada, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, pipa and guzheng.

Why: For the purpose of getting a rough idea of the passage and obtaining some background knowledge about Liu Fang, I will ask the students to skim the passage for the gist by filling in the blank individually.

Activity 4
Ask
and
Answer
Answer the questions on page 44-45 :
(1) ···during her visit to China. Who visited China?
(2) ···she taught me to play the Yue Qin. Who taught her to play?
(3) What does Liu Fang enjoy about performing?
(4) What makes her feel depressed or lonely?

Suggested answers:

(1) The Queen of England
(2) Her mother.
(3) The atmosphere in a concert hall.
(4) When she has no concert for a long time.
Why: This procedure is intended for getting and processing information to further understand the context by using details, and the abilities of communicating and critical thinking are developed gradually as well.

Activity 5
Read
and Find
Friends
Divide the whole class into two groups, giving one group colorful cards of words, the other group cards of definitions. Students should reread the passage to find the exact meanings and then find their “friends”.
tune, conservatory, repertoire, soloist, concert.
a musician who performs alone
another word for melody
an event where musician play
a school where musician study
all the pieces of music that a musician can play

Suggested answers:

a musician who performs alone (soloist)
another word for melody (tune)
an event where musician play (concert)
a school where musician study (conservatory)
all the pieces of music that a musician can play (repertoire)

Why: This part is designed to train students’ ability of inferring the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context.

Activity 6
Discuss
and
Share

Reflect on the access to Liu Fang’s great achievement. Four students in a group to talk about the following two questions:
(1) What does Liu Fang impress you most?
(2) Do you think Liu Fang is successful as an artist? Give possible reasons if you think so.

Suggested answers:

diligence, perseverance, innovation, passion, hard work, care, open-mind, etc.

Why: As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day”. So I want the students to think it over why Liu Fang can be successful as a musician. When the answers come up, the students realize the good personalities will truly make a difference.

Activity 7

Assessment
Assessment From Your Partner
  Questions
Your Partner
What strategies can you learn from your partner when he/she refers the learning of new words from the context?

What abilities does your partner impress you most?

Can you understand your partner when he/she expresses emotions?

Assessment From Your Partner
  Questions
Your Partner
What strategies can you learn from your partner when he/she refers the learning of new words from the context?
 Predict, guess, refer to the dictionary, and conclude from the passage.
What abilities does your partner impress you most?
 The ability of reading, speaking, inferring, thinking, cooperating, etc.
Can you understand your partner when he/she expresses emotions?
 Yes, no or not really.

Why: To evaluate the output of students, a form covering reading and speaking skills, thinking ability, and learning strategies is formulated for the assessment of the students. Each student is responsible for giving his partner an evaluation. The reason why I don't design a self-assessment is that it is easier for students to comment on others than on themselves.

Homework

Write an introduction about Chinese Pipa soloist Liu Fang and exchange passages between desk mates, underline the beautiful sentences and share excellent expressions.
The students exchange passages between desk mates, underline the beautiful sentences and share excellent expressions.

Why: To reinforce the knowledge about the interview and foster the creative ability.
