teaching procedures:
step 1 revision 
check the homework exercises.
step 2 grammar
( the teacher writes the sentence “ workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.” on the blackboard before class begins.)
t: please look at the sentence on the blackboard, paying special attention to the underlined part. what kind of clause is it?
ss: the attributive clause.
t: yes. the attributive clause tells us which person or thing (or what kind of person or thing ) the speaker means.
e.g. the woman who lives next door is a teacher.
a sentence with an attributive clause contains two shorter sentences. in the sentence above, the two short sentences are: “ the woman is a teacher.” and “ the woman lives next door.” the attributive clause is the answer to the question: which woman is a teacher?
would you try to divide the sample sentence on the blackboard into two short sentences?
t: that’s right. now try to find all the sentences with attributive clauses in the reading passage and divide each sentence into two short sentences.
t: next i will say something about the common relative pronouns.
“who” is used for people. “which” is used for things. “that” is used for things or people. “whose” is used instead of his/her/their/somebody’s. “whom” is quite formal, and in most cases it is all right to use who instead. but when whom has a preposition before it, it cannot be replaced by who.
step 3 practice
1. now look at part 2 in discovering useful structures on page 28. try to complete each sentence using that, which, who, or whose.
let the students do this exercise and check the answers.

step 4 homework
