Our first whole class read is the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. If you ever saw the movie musical My Fair Lady, this is essentially the same thing. You will read one act a night for five nights. In class, we will have group discussions, answer questions, and complete assignments for each act. The schedule is as follows:
Friday, Aug. 30: Read Act I at night Tuesday, Sep. 4: Read Act II at night Wednesday, Sep.5: Read Act III at night Thursday, Sep. 6: Read Act IV at night Friday, Sep. 7: Read Act V before Monday. Beginning Tuesday, Sep. 10 we will discuss the play and its themes, identify the use of literary terms, take a test on the play and its vocabulary, and complete a short writing assignment. We checked out the book in the bookroom, but if you need it, here is an online version of the entire text: Pygmalion (full text) For help with the reading, try these sources: Sparknotes: Pygmalion Shmoop: Pygmalion |
