Objectives

To help students read the passage MAKING THE BET

To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing

Procedures

1. Warming up by learning more about PYGMALION

When George Bernard Shaw wrote Pygmalion more than a half century ago, no one could have predicted his play would eventually be converted into one of the great musicals of our time -- My Fair Lady -- and an Academy Award winning motion picture. Generations of readers and theatergoers have found relevance in Shaw's story of speech therapist Henry Higgins, who successfully transforms Liza Doolittle, a "draggle-tailed guttersnipe," into a darling of high society who momentarily upsets his hard-edged reserve. The extraordinary wit of this master dramatist of the twentieth century cuts away at the artificiality of class distinctions to reveal that human clay can be molded into wondrous shapes.

2. Reading and acting

Read the text MAKING THE BET on page 33 to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicates, darken the connectives and underline all the useful collocations.
