教学目标：
By the end of this section, students will be able to:

教学重难点：
To identify the usage of appositive clauses;
To use the appositive clauses correctly and properly.
教学过程：
Step 1 Lead-in
Present two pictures
Abu Simbel temples
Aswan High Dam
What is the connection between these two places
Step 2 Exploring the rules
Read the article on page 48 and answer the following question:
How were the Abu Simbel temples saved from the rising waters
Possible answer:
An international team worked together to take the temples apart, moved their parts to a new location and then put them back together. They eventually managed to relocate all the Abu Simbel temples without incident.
Step 3 Compare the following pair of sentences
The news that he told us at the meeting made us excited.
定语从句，修饰作用；that有意义，是连接代词, 作宾语
The news that Mary would be promoted made us excited.
同位语从句，表内容；that无意义，是连接词，不做句子成分
Possible answer
The news that he told us at the meeting made us excited.
In the first sentence, the restrictive clause “that he told us at the meeting” is used to modify the antecedent(先行词) “the news”. The word “that” is a relative pronoun(连接代词), functioning as an object in the clause.
定语从句，修饰作用；that有意义，是连接代词, 作宾语
The news that Mary would be promoted made us excited.
In the second sentence, the appositive clause “that Mary would be promoted” is used to tell what “the news” is. The word “that” does not serve as and sentence element in the clause.
同位语从句，表内容；that无意义，是连接词，不做句子成分
