Step 7 Story telling
SB Page 10, Part 2. Allow the Ss some time tolook at the pictures and construct the story in their own words. With a weak class, the following cue words may be given on the Bb.
1 Kunta Kinte / born in Gambia / a free and strong man / fond of music;
2 one day / Kunta / cut a tree in a forest near the coast / make a drum / hit on the head;
3 Kunta Kinte / wake up / caught by some black men / reason with them / sent to a castle on the coast;
4 a few days later / taken and put on a tall sailing ship / in chains / unable to / stand up / the sea journey / 60 days and nights;
5 the ship / arrive in a port in America / see in daylight / a third of the black people missing;
6 at a market / Kunta and some other Africans /sold to farmers / work in the fields / badly treated / try to run away / cut off part of his foot.
Get the Ss to tell the story in groups first. Then call out some of them to describe the pictures in class. Either the present tense or the past tense, can be used when telling the story, but it should be consistent.
Step 8 Interview
SB Page 10, Part 3. Get Ss to prepare their questions in pairs, then check these with the whole class. If necessary, using the following as hints：
How / first / learn / about your African ancestor?
Where / ancestor / come from?
Why / interested / in your “roots”?
What / you do / to find out more?
Why / you go / to Gambia?
How / get enough money / go to Gambia?
What / you discover / when / get to Gambia?
How / find out / about Kuntas disappearance?
Then get Ss to work in pairs and do the role play.
Get them to change roles and do it again. If you wish, you can get one or two pairs to act out the interview in front of the class.

France, England and Spain were the three European powers in the New World. Each had come for different purposes.
The first Spanish came to the New World searching for wealth, power, and glory. In their search they explored(探验) and conquered much of North, South, and Central America. The English, on the other hand, generally came to build new lives in the new land. They built settlements(殖民地) along the coast.
Different from both Spain and English, the French were less interested in conquest(征服) than in trade. Their first settlements were trading posts(贸易区) where they sold cloth, knives, and guns to the Indians for the skin of the beaver (河狸). Like the Spanish, they seldom brought their families. Unlike the English, they didn’t fight against the Indians for the possession of the land.
