【学习重难点】
1. 本课时的重要词汇与句式
2. 能够充分理解课文内容，思考“好书坏电影？”这一现象产生的原因，并能够形成自己的看法，培养批判性思维。

【学习过程】
Step 1 Lead in
1. Look at the pictures carefully first in Activity 1. And then answer the questions.
(1) Have you ever read any of these books? What are they about?
(2)Have you ever seen the movies or TV plays based on these books? What do you think
of them?
Step 2 Reading
1. Scan the passage and find out which of the books in Activity 1 are mentioned.
2. Read the passage again and pay attention to the language points in the passage:
(1) All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic “turkeys”.
end up意为“（尤指经历一系列意外后）最终处于，到头来”。

例如：
[+介词短语]
If you go on like this, you’ll end up in prison. (如果你继续这样，早晚得进监狱。

）[+现在分词短语]
I ended up doing all the work myself. (结果所有的活儿都是我一个人干了。

）
[+形容词]
If he carries on driving like that, he’ll end up dead. (如果他继续这样开车，总有一天会把命都丢掉。

）
(2) Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”?
impressive意为“令人印象深刻的”；result in意为“导致，造成”，同义短语为lead to；本句句尾的best described as “interesting” 为过去分词短语作后置定语。

(3)This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.该句较长，教师可通过分析句式结构帮助学生理解。

主干成分为this is something + that引导的定语从句+with的复合结构。

注意：something作为先行词时，关系代词只能用that。

此处with的复合结构为：with+宾语+形容词+not to do。

(4)Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.
find sb/sth done意为“发现某人或某物处在某状态”。

be glued to sth意为“盯着某物看”。

Step 3 Activity 3
Match the author’s opinions about the movie adaptations to the examples from the passage.
口1 Some parts of the story and some characters are missing in the movie.
口2 The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book.
口3 The movie is not as great as the book.
口4 The movie doesn’t look the way we visualised while reading the book.
口5 The characters do not stand out.
Step 4 Think and share
1. What does the saying “There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes” mean? Do you know of any similar sayings in Chinese?
2. What books would you like to see made into movies? Why?
3. What other reasons do you think make movie adaptations less satisfactory than the original books?
Step 5 Group work
