13、vision and Lead-in Ask one or more students to show their work. T: In the last unit, you were asked to do a project on a famous person’s childhood and how he /she became successful. Now who’d like to display your project on the classroom wall? Sample project: Edison’s childhood There are many
14、stories about what Edison was like as a child. They all show that from an early age, Edison was curious about the world around him and always tried to teach himself through reading and experiments. Surprisingly, little “Al”Edison, who was the last of seven children in his family, did not learn to t
15、alk until he was almost four years old. Immediately thereafter, he began pleading with every adult he met to explain the workings of just about everything he met. If they said they didn’t know, he would look them straight in the eye with his deeply set and lovely blue-green eyes and ask them: “Why?”
16、 At age 11, Tom’s parents tried to teach him how to use the resources of the local library. This led him to prefer learning through independent self instruction. By age 12, Tom had already become an “adult” . He not only talked his parents into letting him go to work selling newspapers, snacks, a
17、nd candy on the railroad, but also had started an entirely separate business selling fruits and vegetables... By 14, Tom became totally deaf in his left ear, and approximately 80% deaf in his right ear. He once said that the worst thing about this condition was that he was unable to enjoy the beaut
18、iful sounds of singing birds. One of the most significant events in Tom’s life now occurred when — as a reward for his heroism — the boy’s grateful father taught him how to master the use of Morse code and the telegraph. In 1869, when Edison was twenty-two years old, he patented his first invent
19、ion and advertised that he “would hereafter devote his full time to bringing out his inventions.” Over the next years, Edison’s progress in creating successful inventions for industry really took off.
