T: Has anyone heard of “the Pygmalion Effect”？What is it? S1: The Pygmalion Effect is that people tend to behave as you

expect they will. If you expect a person to take responsibility,

they probably will. If you expect them not to even try, they

probably won’t. T: Good. How did you know?

S1: I have once read some Greek stories. And I have read the

story Pygmalion before.

T: You’re great. If someone is good at writing, we often say he

or she is a lucky dog of the Muses. Do you know where the

saying comes from?

S1: It also comes from the Greek story. Step Ⅱ Warming up

T: Yes. Today we are going to learn about a Greek story

Pygmalion. First, look at the pictures on page 28. Please work

in pairs and work out the story.

After a few minutes.

T: Now let’s have a look at the first picture. Who can tell me what’s in it with your own words? S1: Let me try. Pygmalion was a very gifted artist. He spent a long time making a stone statue of a beautiful woman. It was so beautiful that he couldn’t help loving it and wanted it to be his wife. T: Now who can present the complete story based on the above description?

S4: Let me try. Pygmalion was a gifted artist. One day, he decided to make a stone statue of a beautiful woman. He worked day and night and at last he finished. Then he clothed the figure, decorated it with the jewellery, and even named it the Sleeping Love. The work was so beautiful that he couldn’t help thinking that if the statue could be brought to life, he’d very much like it to be his wife. Therefore, he asked the Greek Goddess to help make it alive. Finally the Goddess was moved by his sincerity. His wish was granted. Pygmalion threw himself to his feet, the girl smelt down at him. Afterwards, they fell in love with each other and married. T: Wonderful! You did a good job! Now let’s have a discussion. Do you think that Pygmalion and his statue-wife will be happy together? …

T: Good. How do you think they might solve them? S3: Pygmalion loves the girl so much that he decides to teach her how to speak and how to behave herself. Little by little,

they understand each other well and live happily. T: Good imagination! The story is so interesting that it was made into a film My Fair Lady,

which was based on the play by Bernard Shaw. Do you know this famous playwright? Step Ⅲ Discussion

Make a brief introduction about Shaw. T: George Bernard Shaw, Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater. Shaw was a freethinker, defender of women’s rights, and advocate of equality of income. In 1925 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Shaw accepted the honour but refused the money. He was a very humorous playwright. T: Have you seen the film My Fair Lady？

S1: Yes. It was about a flower girl who became a lady in the upper class, helped by the expert in phonetics, Professor Higgins.

T: Good. What else?

S2: In the Greek story, Pygmalion is a gifted artist, whereas in the play Pygmalion, Higgins is an expert in phonetics.

Step Ⅳ Homework Ask the students to do the following.

1. Find more information about Pygmalion.
