Step I Warming Up
Talk about horror films with the students.[根源:Z|xx|k.][根源:]
T:The large film industry of today had a relatively simple beginning. The first public showing of a motion picture — on May 22, 1891, at Thomas Edison’s 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, such as action films like“House full of flying daggers”, war films like “The Boys in pany”, etc. Today we’ll 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 shock 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 bodies. 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: Well, 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 tradition. Many films have been made on it. The classic monster or
horror film of all time, director James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) is the screen version of Mary Shelley’s Gothic 1818 nightmarish novel of the same name. Now read about the background passage and say what new things you have learnt.
S4: I’ve learnt that it was Boris Karloff who played the monster in the film.
S5: I’ve 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. Besides what you’ve said, we can still find something new in the passage. For example, some new words and expressions. Now please finish the following exercises.
Show the following to the students.
Match the correct definition in Column A with the words or phrases in Column B.
Column A
1. extremely frightening
2. a line on your face of skin that you get when you are old
3. to make something exist that did not exist before
4. a strong feeling of shock and fear
5. to look like, be similar to
Column B
a. resemble
b. create
c. terrifying
d. wrinkle
e. horror
Sample answers:
1-c; 2-d; 3-b; 4-e; 5-a
And then ask the students to plete the sentences in Exercise 3.
Step II Reading
Task 1: Ask the students to read the text first and then finish the Exercises 2 and 3. T:Perhaps the longest-lasting and most memorable image of Frankenstein and his monster was created in 1931, when Universal Pictures released what is now often
praised as the definitive horror 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 can breathe, he has veins, hair, skin, teeth, lips, hands and he can make sounds.
2)Frankenstein created the monster by using bones from deadbodies.
3)Because the monster had killed his wife, his brother and his best friend.
4)The monster’s appearance:ugly, huge, with wrinkled yellow skin, yellow 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 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 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 don’tthink so. If Frankenstein had created a wife for the monster, things would have bee better.
S2: You mean, it would 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 story 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 scientists woke from his nightma re, 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 mig ht have said, “ Hey, my creator. I really feel lonely and unhappy without any friends to talk and play with. Since you have given me life, why not give me happiness? ”S1: And I think he might have said like this, “ My master! You’d better create a wife
for me because I feel lonely and unhappy. Or else, I would kill your fiancée!”
S2: Or, he might have said,“ Oh, God! I feel terribly lonely and unhappy, could you please make a wife for me?”
4.
S1: Frankenstein created the monster, but he was frightened to see it. Maybe he didn’t 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 don’t think Frankenstein was right to be frightened by th e monster. Because
when he 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
couldn’thelp feeling frightened.
5.
S1: In the story, the monster killed the scientist ’s brother, fiancée 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. 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. 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 monster’s behavior.
6.
S1: The monster was really a great imagination of the novelist, so did the way the scientist created it. How do you 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 without realizing the terrible results they would bring about. For example, the abnormal babies, the new and strange diseasesthese years, etc. And what’s 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 is 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 initiation of cloning today. So we should draw lessons from the story and prevent the story from
happening in reality.
S2: You’re 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 something 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 bee anything terrifying. So I think scientists must 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 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 Frankenstein’sfeelings about the monster. Now read the text and find out the expressions the author used 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 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 Byron’s other guests sometimes read from a
volume of ghost stories. One evening, Byron challenged his guests to each write one themselves. Mary’s story, inspired by a dream, became Frankenstein. Later on, films began to be made on it. The monster in the story was just an imagination, but it might be the origin of today ’s cloning. The more you think, the more time you have. So do more thinking and imagination from now on, you’ll get more than others.
Step III Homework
