Unit 5 the value of money

Period 4 Reading For Writing教学设计

   This theme of this period is to write a dramatic scene. It is difficult to write a play, even a small part of it sounds difficult. Writing a play or drama is quite different from writing a story. The main purpose of a play is to let the characters speak for themselves as much as possible. How actors show us what the characters think and feel is also important.

Dramatic language includes actor's or actress' lines and stage direction, which is written at the beginning of each scene and at the end and in the middle of the dialogue. It can enhance the stage atmosphere, enhance the mood of the characters, show the characters' characters, and promote the development of the plot.

1. Get students to have a good understanding of some features about a dramatic scene.

2. Study the organization and language features.

3. Develop students’ writing and cooperating abilities.

4. Strengthen students’ great interest in writing drama.

1. Stimulate students to have a good understanding of how to write a drama.
2. Cultivate students to write a drama properly and concisely.

Step 1: Read and answer the following questions.

•          1. Where does Henry go? What does he want?

•          2. What do the clerks show Henry at first? Why?

•          3 .What makes the people in the store change their attitudes towards Henry?

•          4 .Why would the owner be willing to wait for a long time to get paid?

•          5. Is it right to judge people by their clothes? Why or why not?

•           

1. He goes to a tailor's shop. He wants new clothes.

2 They show him ready made clothes, because he looks poor and these clothes are cheaper.

3 They change their attitudes after seeing the million-pound note because they think that he is rich.

4 Perhaps he thinks that Henry will come back and buy a lot more clothes in the future or tell his wealthy friends about the shop.

5 No, it's not right, for two reasons. First, everyone has dignity and should be treated with the same respect. Second, you cannot judge someone before you know all the facts about this person. Dressing well or having a lot of money doesn't mean someone is a nice person. Sometimes appearances are deceptive.

Step 2: study the language features

Underline the sentences that show how people’s attitudes change towards Henry.

Step 4:

戏剧是一种综合的舞艺术。我们这里要写的戏剧实际上就是剧本。它是文学体裁的一种，戏剧的基本要素包括情感、欲望、争斗、妥协等组成部分。戏剧离不开冲突，它表现在人物性格的冲突中，具体表现为一系列的动作。戏剧语言包括人物语言(台词actor's/actress' lines)和舞台说明(stage direction)，舞台说明是写在剧本每一幕的开端，结尾和对话中间的说明性的文字、内容包括人物、时间、地点、服装、道具、布景及人物的表情、动作、上下场等。它具有增强舞台气氛，烘托人物心情，展示人物性格，推动情节展开等多种作用。

【参考范文】

Narrator：(Henry is smiling as he leaves the restaurant. As he is walking down the street, he sees a sign for a place that cuts hair. He decides to get it cut.)

H＝Henry；B＝Barber；R＝rude man

H：Good afternoon, I'd like to get a cut, if I may. (The barber looks at Henry's hair and continues cutting another man's hair.)Er, I'd really like a haircut. As you can see it's much too long.

B：(in a rude manner) Yes, I can see that. Indeed, I can.

H：Fine, well I'll have a seat then.

(He sits in one of the barber's chairs. The barber turns to look at Henry.)

B：It's quite expensive here, you know！Are you sure you can afford it?

H：Yes. I think so.

(In comes the rude man.)

R：Hey you there.I need a haircut quickly. Can you do me straightaway?

B：All right, then, get in the chair and I'll see what I can do.

R：Thank you. (sits down in one of the barber's chairs)

H：Excuse me, but I was here first. Aren't you going to do my hair first?

B：This man's in a hurry.

H：Well so am I！I insist that you cut my hair first.

B：OK, but I'll have to be quick. This gentleman is waiting.

H：Thank you.

(They both become quiet. After his hair is cut, the barber tells Henry how much he must pay. Henry shows the barber the bank note.)

B：Why, Mr ... (looks shocked)

H：Adams. Henry Adams. I'm sorry, I don't have any change.

R：You're that Mr Adams! Well，I'm glad I waited or I might never have known it was you.

B：Why, Mr Adams, please don't worry！(wearing a big smile) Nothing to worry about！Nothing at all!

Please come back any time, even if you only need too little hairs cut！It will be my honour to serve you!
