Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式Step I Warming UpTalk about horror films with the students.T: The large film industry of today had a relatively simple beginning. The
16、first public showing of a motion picture on May 22, 1891, at Thomas Edisons workshop in New Jersey consisted of a polite man who bowed to the audience, smiled, waved, and took off his hat. Thus, the motion picture industry was born and began to develop quickly. Today, we can see many kinds of films,
17、 such as action films like “House full of flying daggers”, war films like “The Boys in Company”, etc. Today well mainly talk about horror films. What is a horror film, do you know?S1: A horror film is a kind of film in which strange and frightening things happen. Horror films often cause fear or sho
18、ck in the audience. T: Frankenstein is one of the famous early horror films. Have you seen it before? What do you know about the story?S2: Yes. I saw it two years ago. It was made in 1931. The story goes like this: Frankenstein is a Swiss scientist who created an ugly monster using bones from dead b
19、odies. The monster was out of control and killed many people. In the end Frankenstein died in the chase of the monster and the monster ended his life in the ice and snow. T: Can you describe what the monster is like?S2: The monster resembles a human being which is unusually large and strong. S3: Wel
20、l, it was huge, ugly, with wrinkled skin, yellow eyes and black lips. Ask the students to read the short passage. T: Frankenstein is the world-famous story of a doctor whose brilliant mind gets the better of him, one of the first and certainly most enduring Gothic novels of the English literary trad
21、ition. Many films have been made on it. The classic monster or horror film of all time, director James Whales Frankenstein (1931) is the screen version of Mary Shelleys Gothic 1818 nightmarish novel of the same name. Now read about the background passage and say what new things you have learnt. S4:
22、Ive learnt that it was Boris Karloff who played the monster in the film. S5: Ive learnt from the passage that the film is still the most famous of all horror films.S6: Mary Shelly was 19 years old when he wrote the novel. .T: Reading is always beneficial.

26、orror film: Frankenstein. Now please read the text about the story and finish the Exercises 2 and 3.Check the answers with the students. Task 2: Ask the students to read the text again and then finish Exercises 1 and 4.Sample answers to Exercises 4: 1) The monster has human emotions, he has eyes, he
27、 can breathe, he has veins, hair, skin, teeth, lips, hands and he can make sounds.2) Frankenstein created the monster by using bones from dead bodies.3) Because the monster had killed his wife, his brother and his best friend.4) The monsters appearance: ugly, huge, with wrinkled yellow skin, yellow
28、eyes, black hair and lips and white teeth.5) Because the monster he created was too ugly. 6) What Frankenstein had wanted more than anything in the world is to give life to the lifeless matter. 7) Because Frankenstein had a nightmare. 8) Because the monster wanted to kill him. 9) Frankenstein hid in
29、 the garden and stayed there till morning after running out of the room for the second time. 10) Because the monster was too ugly, frightening and had killed many people. Task 3: Ask the students to discuss the questions in Exercise 5.Sample dialogues:1. S1: Frankenstein had successfully created the
30、 monster, so it was easy for him to make a wife for the monster. But he refused, why?S2: I think he was afraid to make another ugly monster, which might make things worse. S1: I dont think so. If Frankenstein had created a wife for the monster, things would have become better.S2: You mean, it would
31、make the monster happy?S1: Yes. And maybe the monster could be under the control of his wife.S2: That would be better. 2.S1: Dreams are sometimes very strange. You might dream about something that would happen in real life. Why do you think the scientist dreamt about his fiance?S2: Maybe the same st
32、ory went with the scientist. He had already sensed something. He had already felt that something bad would happen. Just as we often say, dreams are but what human beings think of. S1: You are probably right. But I think it was because Frankenstein was too frightened at his creation.3.S1: When the sc
33、ientists woke from his nightmare, he saw the monster was standing by his bed as if he wanted to say something. What do you think the monster might have said?S2: He might have said, “Hey, my creator. I really feel lonely and unhappy without any friends to talk and play with. Since you have given me l
34、ife, why not give me happiness?”S1: And I think he might have said like this, “My master! Youd better create a wife for me because I feel lonely and unhappy. Or else, I would kill your fiance!”S2: Or, he might have said, “Oh, God! I feel terribly lonely and unhappy, could you please make a wife for
35、me?”4.S1: Frankenstein created the monster, but he was frightened to see it. Maybe he didnt know how to face his ugly creation. Perhaps it was not the kind of thing that he had expected. How do you think of it? S2: I dont think Frankenstein was right to be frightened by the monster. Because when he
36、made the monster, he should have known how to control it.S1: I think Frankenstein was right to be frightened by the monster. Because he just awoke from a nightmare, maybe his heart was still fluttering with fear. When he suddenly saw the monster standing by his bed and trying to keep him there, he c
37、ouldnt help feeling frightened. 5.S1: In the story, the monster killed the scientists brother, fiance and his best friend and then ended his life in the ice and snow. The scientist himself died too in the arctic. Do you think the scientist could have done something to prevent these happening?S2: Yes
38、. I think he should have made some other things to guard against the monster. S1: He should have thought of what else he would bring to the world with his creation.S2: The monster killed human beings and escaped. So the scientist should have taken some measures to limit the movement of the monster.
39、Maybe he should have taught him something in case he did something terrible. S1: I quite agree with you. The scientist should have made a remote control to guide the monsters behavior. 6.S1: The monster was really a great imagination of the novelist, so did the way the scientist created it. How do y
40、ou feel about the monster? And why?S2: I think the monster is a terrible creation. When he was created, he became powerful and out of human beings control. He might have done everything he had wished. S1: I think the monster in the story is just like something in our society. Humans may do something
41、 without realizing the terrible results they would bring about. For example, the abnormal babies, the new and strange diseases these years, etc. And whats more, many people today want to clone human beings. This sounds more terrible. S2: I think the monster, to some extent, is like an animal which i
42、s badly treated by human beings. The monster had emotions and could feel loneliness and unhappiness. That is the way most animals feel. So I think if the monster was treated well by the scientist, things would have been better. 7.S1: Though the story is horrible and unbelievable, I think it was the
43、initiation of cloning today. So we should draw lessons from the story and prevent the story from happening in reality. S2: Youre quite right. This story reminds us of the terrible disasters that happened these years, such as the tsunami, the SARS, etc. It warned us that human beings might create som
44、ething unexpected and absolutely out of control. S1: From the story, we can see the shadow of cloning today. Frankenstein created the monster which resembled a human being. Actually, it was kind of cloning. Once it had been created, it might have become anything terrifying. So I think scientists mus
45、t be careful when they begin to create something. Task 4: Text analyzing T: The text is obviously divided into two parts. The first part is a simple introduction of the story. What is the second part mainly about?S1: The second part is an extraction of the story. It is mainly about how Frankenstein
46、felt about his creation. T: How did Frankenstein feel about the monster?S2: He felt the monster was too frightening and ugly. And he regretted for what he did. T: The second part is mostly about Frankensteins feelings about the monster. Now read the text and find out the expressions the author used
47、to describe his feelings. Sample answers:. and horror and disgust filled my heart. I wish I had not created this creature, I wish I was on the other side of the world, I wish I could disappear!I felt unable to stay in the same room as him.I hid in the garden and stayed there till morning, terrified
48、by what I had done. I wish I had not done this terrible thing, I wish I was dead!Task 5: Summary T: In the summer of 1816, nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin and her lover, the poet Percy Shelley (whom she married later that year), visited the poet Lord Byron at his villa beside Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stormy weather frequently forced them indoors, where they and Byrons other guests
