Book8Unit4Pygmalion
一.教材分析
本单元以皮格马利翁为话题,通过学习,使学生了解具有共同主题的希腊神话Pygmalion与萧伯纳戏剧之间在表现形式、人物塑造等方面的相同与不同之处;并能在此基础上,讨论和表演部分戏剧场景;能为该剧本写出一份评论;能模仿剧本编写一个戏剧场景,即Higgins教授如何给Eliza上第二课的场景。
语法部分重点学习过去分词作状语的用法。
WarmingUp是三幅描述希腊神话故事Pygmalion主要情节的图画。
要求学生根据图片提示,联系已有知识,再现这个美丽的神话故事,并能就此话题展开讨论。
Pre-reading中所列三个问题,意在让学生提炼萧伯纳戏剧与希腊神话故事所反映的共同主题,并初步酝酿可能出现的故事情节。
Reading讲述了发生在伦敦剧院外的一幕。
主要人物有Eliza,Higgins,Pickering。
Eliza原是伦敦市的一名卖花女,在一次偶然的情况下遇见了以能听懂别人口音而自傲的ProfessorHiggins。
ProfessorHiggins与ColonelPickering打赌,说他能将口音其糟无比,讲话粗鲁的Eliza改造成能讲标准英文的淑女。
Eliza就住在ProfessorHiggins的家中,受了一阵子语言训练。
最后两人认为已经训练有成,便带Eliza到一个盛大的宫廷舞会。
在场的人都不知道Eliza的出身。
女王还对Eliza大加赞赏。
ProfessorHiggins自傲于自己的成功,完全忽略了Eliza的感受。
Eliza盛怒之下,离开了Higgins。
她走之后,Higgins才发现不能没有她。
最后Eliza回到了ProfessorHiggins身边。
两人言归于好。
剧中Higgins教授希望把一个街头卖花的姑娘转变成一个有修养的能跻身上流社会的人。
从人物的对话中我们也可以清楚地看到不同人物的性格特征,比如Eliza的粗鲁,Higgins的缺乏耐心,Pickering的礼貌等都反映得淋漓尽致。
UsingLanguage中Readingandacting部分紧承Reading部分的剧情。
这一幕的地点是在Higgins的家里,主要人物有Eliza,Higgins,Pickering和MrsPearce。
主要讲述的是Eliza来这里找Higgins教授,并请求他担任她的老师,帮助她改变命运的事。
该部分从听、说、读、写四个方面来学习和巩固所学语言知识。
