STEP I Warming up（热身）

Review the story Pygmalion

T : Last period, we learned something about the Greek story Pygmalion

and the play version by Shaw. Of all Shaw’s

plays, Pygmalion is without the doubt the most beloved and popularly received. Several film versions have been made of the play, and it has even been adapted into a musical. In fact, the film version of 1963 helped Shaw to become the first and only

man ever to win the double prize: the Nobel Prize for literature and an Academy Award. Do you still remember the story? Now who can tell it to all of us?

Ask the Ss whether they know the Greek story of Pygmalion. If they know, tell the story.

Picture 1 . Picture 2 . Picture 3 .

请学生展示他们或她们的组为

warming up 部分的希腊神话故事《皮格马

立翁》查余额的的资料，小组派出一名学生表述该剧本的大意。

并且说明本单元的《窈窕淑女》就是由萧伯纳根据该故事改编而来。

STEP 8 Discussion （讨论）

Ask Ss to do part 5 on page 31.

T: Suppose you have a chance to help Eliza improve her use of the English language. Look at the sentences on page31 in Part 5 and help her correct all these sentences in terms of grammar, spelling, etc, so that she can use them properly.

In pairs try to think of some new ideas to help Professor Higgins teach

Eliza better. Write them down in a list. Get into fours and discuss the lists.

Choose the two best ideas and then share them with the class.

Find the similarities and differences between The story of Pygmalion and the play Pygmalion

Similarities ：

1

They are both about a man who “makes” a perfect woman.

2

Both the women benefit: Galatea by becoming alive and Eliza by learning how to behave in polite society.

Differences ：

1

In the story the artist admits that he has fallen in love with the statue, but in the play Henry does not admit that he loves Eliza.

2

In the story the artist and the statue get married and live happily together, but in the play they do not get married and appear to part.

3

In the story the artist changes from not liking women to loving one, but in the play Henry does not appear to change as much as Eliza.

Now in pairs discuss how the characters change in the play?

Example: Galatea changes from stone into a real person.

Eliza
