Unit 4 Pygmalion

1. 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。

Warming Up 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。Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分要求学生能在具体语言环境中运用所学词汇和短语；语法部分主要通过大量的例句和习题要求学生自主学习，总结-ed形式在句子中作状语用法。

Teaching procedures & ways

StepⅠ Revision Check the homework.

Ask the students to act out the play.

T: Yesterday I asked you to prepare for the play-acting. Have you prepared? Now I want to ask three students to have a try.

After they finish, make some comments on their performances. Step Ⅱ Word study Ask the students to finish Ex. 1 and 2 in Learning about Language. Then check the answers with the class.

Step Ⅲ Grammar

First ask the students to find out the examples of the past participle as the adverbial in the play:

Sample sentences:

1. An expert in phonetics, convinced that the quality of a person’s English decides his/her position in society. P28

2. But, sir, (proudly) once educated to speak properly, that girl could pass herself off in three months as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party. P30 Explanation: T: The past participle as the adverbial is a very important grammar, and it can indicate time, condition, reason, and way. We can add when / while / if or other conjunctions before the past participle in order to make the meaning more clearly. For example: Show the following.

If bitten by a snake, you should send for help and don’t walk. The room, although supposed to be kept locked, was often left open.

T: Now please look at the following examples. Can you rewrite these sentences? Show the following.

1. Given more time, we could do it better. 2. Heated to a high temperature, water will change to vapour. 3. Frightened by the noise in the night, the girl did not dare sleep in her room. 4. Disturbed by the noise, we had to finish the meeting early. 5. Seen from the hill, the park looks very beautiful. 6. She walked out of the house, followed by her little daughter. Sample answers:

1. When / If we were given more time, we could do it better. 2. When / If it is heated to a high temperature, water will change to vapour. 3. As she was frightened by the noise in the night, the girl did not dare sleep in her room. 4. As we were disturbed by the noise, we had to finish the meeting early. 5.
