Ⅲ. 教材分析和教材重组

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。

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。

1.1

Using Language中Reading and acting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Mrs Pearce。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。

1.2

Listening要求学生听一段关于Higgins如何给Eliza授课，如何帮助她纠正发音以及其教学方法的录音，并完成关于Eliza在发音和语法方面正确的地方以及需要改进的地方的表格。

1.3

Speaking部分有两个任务。其一是让学生运用所给的表示猜测的语句展开联想，说出他们的第二课该如何进行；其二是让学生通过教师的引导总结出希腊神话故事和萧伯纳的剧本两者之间的共同和不同之处。教师可以通过Speaking Task中的提问来引导学生，让学生自己得出结论。

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式

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 Exx. 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. When it is seen from the hill, the park looks very beautiful. 6. She walked out of the house, and her little daughter followed.
