The reading passage titled Elias’ Story is to introduce students to the qualities and abilities that make Nelson Mandela such an interesting person to study. Not only was he able to inspire many to follow him despite many difficulties but he became an international symbol for fairness and justice. Many people in the world were so inspired by him that they followed the ANC call for a boycott of South African goods sent abroad for export. It was hoped that economic pressure from abroad would help to change the political system and make life fairer for all in South Africa. But it was the black people of South Africa who had to put the greatest pressure on the government to make changes. The story is told from their point of view. Elias tells the story so that students do not lose sight of the problems that so many black people had to face in South Africa before black majority rule. The parts in quotation marks are the words spoken by Nelson Mandela at his trial in Rivonia (1963)to explain his attitude to violence and justify his actions. This was an important speech because it helped other countries understand the situation in South Africa for black people. It gave them reasons for putting pressure on South Africa to change their policies. It took a very long time (till the 1990s)before the situation improved and South Africa had the vote for everyone and a black government led by Nelson Mandela—a black man. The teacher can first get the students to skim for topic sentences of each paragraph and general idea, and then scan for further understanding. Because there are too many new words in the reading passage, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading the text, have a class discussion and play an interview game for the students to understand more about the text.
