Unit 2 King Lear-readingPart One: Teaching DesignPeriod 1: A sample lesson plan for reading(King Lear)AimsTo help students develop their reading abilityTo help students learn about William Shakespeare’sProcedures■Warming up by learning about Will iam ShakespeareWilliam Shakespeare (baptised April 26, 1564 –April 23, 1616) was an English poet and playwright. Shakespeare has the reputation as one of the greatest of all writers in the English language and in Western literature , as well as one of the world's pre-eminent dramatists. Indeed, some critics have raised their praise of him to the level of bardolatry.Shakespeare wrote his works between 1586 and 1616, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are often uncertain. Shakespeare is among the very few playwrights who have excelled in both tragedy and comedy, and his plays combine popular appeal with complex characterization, poetic grandeur and philosophical depth. Shakespeare's works have been translated into every major living language, and his plays are continually performed all around the world. In addition, quotations from his plays have passed into everydayusage in many languages. Over the years, many people have speculated aboutShakespeare's life, raising questions about his sexuality and debatingwhether someone else wrote his plays and poetry.Looking and saying about the eight model playsHi, everyone! We shall go to the theater tonight. But first let’s look at these photos and learn something about the model plays which used to be so popular in China.The eight model plays included:The Legend of the Red LanternShajiabangTaking the Tiger Mountain by StrategyThe HarborSweeping the White Tiger RegimentThe Azalea MountainSong of the Dragon RiverThe Warfare on the PlainPanshiwanRed Detachment of WomenNow we go to page 11 to read a model play by Shakespeare■Warming up by watching King Lear (1983) (TV)I have something wonderful to show you. A TV play called King Lear (1983) (TV).The whole production was beclouded with grayness, as suits the theme ofseeing/sight, yet the acting was elegiac. Diana Rigg and Dorothy Tutin were asseeming kindly as they were brutal. Robert Lindsay's Edmund was as poisonous ashe was seemingly loving and loyal. But what I take away most specially was Olivier,as Lear, lifting a lock of his dead Cordelia's hair in his bowed hands to hisface, taking a breath, a last scent. I cried. It was a most elegant summary ofa parent's loss.I. Pre-reading—getting to know about King LearKing Lear is generally regarded as one of William Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. It is believed to have been written in 1605 and is based on the legend of Leir, a king of pre-Roman Britain. His story had already been told in chronicles, poems and sermons, as well as on the stage, when Shakespeare undertook the task of retelling it.After the Restoration, the play was often modified by theatre practitioners who disliked its nihilistic flavour, but, since World War II, it has come to be regarded as one of Shakespeare's greatest achievements. The part of King Lear has been played by many great actors, but is generally considered a role to be taken on only by those who have reached an advanced age.II. ReadingOn page 12 there is a play by Shakespeare entitled "King Lear"You are going to read it aloud to the recording.Now read the text again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.What is a play?A play is a form of literature, usually consisting chiefly of dialog between characters, and usually intended for performance rather than reading. However, many scholars study plays in this more academic manner, particularly classical plays such as those of Shakespeare (rare authors, notably George Bernard Shaw, have had little preference whether their plays were performed or read). The term play refers both to the written works of dramatists and to the complete theatrical performances of such.Plays are generally performed in a theatre by actors. To better communicate a unified interpretation of the text in question, productions are usually overseen by directors, who often put their own unique interpretation on the production. (See theatre and related topics for more detailed information on the process of producing plays for performance.)King LearPart 1The king’s throne room. Enter King Lear; the king’s daughters: Goneril, Regan/ and Cordelia; the Dukes of Albany/ and Cornwall, Goneril’s/ and Regan’s husbands; and the Duke of Kent, a loyal friend of the king.LEAR: My dear daughters, I am growing old /and tired. The burden of government sits heavily /on my shoulders. I have decided to retire/ and hand over the heavy load of responsibility /to you three. See, here is a map of my kingdom /with all the boundaries /drawn on it. I have divided the kingdom into three parts, and /allocated one part/ to each of you. Now/ tell me, my dears, which of you loves me /the most? For whichever of you has for me/ the most devotion /I will give to her /the best part of everything /I own. Goneril, what do you say?GONERIL: Sir, I do not have the words/ to express the depth of my devotion. I love you /more than all the riches /in the world, more than my freedom, more even than my own eyesight. In fact, I love you /more than life itself.LEAR: (showing his daughter the map) /My darling girl. You /and your husband Albany shall have this part of my kingdom/ with all its rivers/ and forests /and mountains. And /your children shall own it /after you. Now /Regan, it is your turn. What have you got to say to me? REGAN: In expressing her love for you, my sister has also expressed mine. Yet /I love you/ even more than words can say. I adore you /more than anything else/ in the whole world. My greatest happiness is in loving you.LEAR: To you /and your husband Cornwall /and to your future children, I give this part of my kingdom/ (showing them/ on the map). This part is equal in value /to what I give to Goneril. Now/ my darling, my favourite, my Cordelia. What have you to say /to delight an old man/ and earn the best part of his kingdom?CORDELIA: Nothing, my father.LEAR: Nothing?CIRDEKUA: Nothing.LEAR: You’ll get nothing/ for nothing. I pray you, speak.CORDE LIA: I’m sorry/ but /I’m not as clever as my sisters. I cannot describe my feelings/ with such fancy words. I love you /as it is right /and proper/ for a daughter /to love her father, neither less /nor more.LEAR: Try harder, Cordelia, or you may lose your share of the kingdom.CORDELIA: My dear father, you brought me into this world, you cared for me/ and loved me. In return /I love, honour /and obey you. I do not understand why /my sisters spoke as they did. If they do indeed love you/ that much, t hen /I don’t understand why /they ever got married. You see, when I marry, it will be my duty /to give half my love/ to my husband.LEAR: You truly mean what you say?CORDELIA: Yes, Your Majesty.LEAR: So young /and so hard-hearted.CORDELIA: So young /and so truthful, my Lord.LEAR: Well, then. Let truth be your reward. You are no longer my daughter/ but a stranger /to my heart.KENT: But sir …LEAR: Be quiet, Kent. Do not come between me/ and my anger. She was my favourite daughter. With her/ I hoped to spend my old age. But /that is never going to happen now. You, servant!Go /and find the king of France/ and the Duke of Burgundy. We’ll see if /either wants to be a bridegroom/ when she has no riches/ to bring to the marriage. Goneril, Regan, I shall distribute my kingdom /between the two of you. I shall take nothing /for myself /except a troop of one hundred /of my most loyal soldiers /to care for/ and protect me. And /as I have no third-born daughter, I will spend my days /with you two ---- a month /with one/ and then /a month /with the other. KENT: But sir, I beg you …LEAR: Do not contradict me. It is done.KENT: But sir, please hear me out. I speak on behalf of Cordelia. I have served you /for many years/ and you know that/ I have always honoured you /as my king/ and loved you /as a father, but /I believe /you are being influenced /by false flattery. Cordelia’s devotion to Your Majesty is beyond question.LEAR: Kent, if you value your life, say no more.KENT: I have to speak out, my Lord. I would rather lose my life/ than see you make such a mistake. You do wrong to cause friction between yourself and your daughter. I forecast that /such actions will cause great conflict/ throughout your kingdom.LEAR: How dare you oppose me. Get out of my sight. Pack up your things/ and be gone from my kingdom. If you have not passed /beyond my frontiers/ within five days. I will have you killed. III.

Making a list of characters of King LearCharacters of King LearKing Lear is ruler of Britain. He's a patriarchal figure whose misjudgement of his daughters brings about his downfall.Goneril is Lear's treacherous eldest daughter and wife to the Duke of Albany.Regan is Lear's treacherous second daughter, and wife to the Duke of Cornwall.Cordelia is Lear's youngest daughter.The Duke of Albany is Goneril's husband. Goneril scorns him for his "milky gentleness". He turns against his wife later in the play.The Duke of Cornwall is Regan's husband. He has the Earl of Kent put in the stocks, leaves Lear out on the heath during a storm, and gouges out Gloucester's eyes. After his attack on Gloucester, one of his servants attacks and mortally wounds him.The Earl of Gloucester is Edgar's father, and the father of the illegitimate son, Edmund. Edmund deceives him against Edgar, and Edgar flees, taking on the disguise of Tom of Bedlam.The Earl of Kent is always faithful to Lear, but he is banished by the king after he protests against Lear's treatment of Cordelia. He takes on a disguise and serves the king without letting him know his true identity.Edmund is Gloucester's illegitimate son. He works with Goneril and Regan to further his ambitions, and the three of them form a romantic triangle.Edgar is the legitimate son of the Earl of Gloucester. Disguised as Tom of Bedlam, he helps his blind father. At the end of the play, he assumes reign of the kingdom.Oswald is Goneril's servant, and is described as "a serviceable villain". He tries to murder Gloucester, but is instead killed by Edgar.The Fool is a jester who is devoted to Lear and Cordelia.V. Closing down by putting the play into a storyTo end this period we are going to put the play into a story.A Brief Summary of King Lear -Part IThe play opens with King Lear deciding how to retire histhrone. He decides to divide his land up among his threedaughters. Whichever daughter can lavish him with themost praise and prove they love him most, will get thebest land. Regan and Goneril are the first to professtheir love to their father. Lear is gratified and grantseach a healthy portion of land. He saves the last, butbest portion of land for his youngest and favorite daughter, Cordelia. Cordelia, unfortunately, is unwilling to lie to her father. She will not allow herself to behave in the way her sisters did. She simply states that she loves Lear as much as any daughter should, no more, no less. The furious Lear attempts to persuade Cordelia to reconsider her answer, but after unsuccessfully doing so, rashly decides to bestow no land on her and essentially banishes her from his site. One of Cordelia's suitors, The Duke of Burgundy, loses all interest in the powerless daughter. The King of France recognizes Cordelia's virtues and takes her even without any land. The loyal Kent attempts to change Lear's mind with blunt honesty, but is banished for contradicting Lear's proclamation. Lear is going to live with his eldest daughters, yet still keep the title "King." Secretly, Goneril and Regan conspire to not allow Lear to exert his title over anything.Meanwhile, the Earl of Gloucester suffers a similar lapse in judgement. He is easily deceived by his bastard son, Edmund. Edmund draws up a phony letter that implicates the good son, Edgar, in a conspiracy to kill his father. Then, he "accidentally" allowsComplete the summary of the text with one word in each blank.In the first storm scene, which is difficult, Lear is going crazy. He:__1___ calls on the power of the storm to sterilize the human race;__2___ accuses the storm of taking sides with his daughters against his dignity and being their degraded slave;___3__, realizing that people have deceived him, says the storm must be "the gods"'s way of finding and punishing secret evildoers, and that he is "a man more sinned against than sinning";__4___ comments, "my wit begins to turn", i.e., he realizes he is going crazy -- in literature, becoming insane is often a metaphor for changing the way you look at yourself and the world; notices the jester is cold, __5___ comments __6___ he is also cold; this is the first time Lear has been responsive to the needs and concerns of someone else;accepts Kent's suggestion __7___ take shelter in a hut.(key: 1. first 2. then 3.then 4. then 5. and 6.that 7.to)Notes to the difficult sentencesYou’ll get nothing for nothing. 你啥也不说就啥也得不到。

Unit2KingLear课文内容汉语概要

Unit 2 King Lear教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是“莎士比亚与他的戏剧《李尔王》。

语言技能和语言知识都是根据这一中心话题设计的。

Warming Up 部分由两组问题组成，第一组问题以“子女对父母的尊敬和爱戴”这一话题为中心，要求学生联系自身实际谈一谈如果尊重和爱戴父母，引起学生对这一话题的重视和深层思考。

第二组问题是关于我国古代君臣关系和皇室混一等话题，要求学生谈谈中国古代帝王如何对待自己的子女和臣仆。

这两个问题都与阅读课文《李尔王》密切相关，“热身”部分的讨论可以帮组学生更好的理解剧中人物之间的关系及剧情的发展。

Pre-reading部分简要介绍了关于课文的一些基本情况（如作者---William Shakespeare; 剧名—King Lear; 特点—shortened, simplified, modernized 以及主要出场人物---main characters等）。

由于莎翁戏剧往往情节生动而曲折，内容丰富有深刻的教育意义，因此教师可以鼓励学生在“热身”讨论的基础上，结合练习提示的单词，根据课文插图等线索大胆预测故事内容。

允许学生编出与课文内容完全不同的内容，只要情节合理，有现实意义，都应当给予肯定。

学生也在编故事和讲故事的过程中体会到学习的乐趣。

Reading部分取自莎士比亚四大悲剧之一---《李尔王》。

该剧首演于1606年。

统治英国的李尔王想把国土分给三个女儿。

他试探三个女儿的孝心，大女和次女极尽阿谀奉承之词骗得了李尔王的信任，各得到二分之一的领土。

而幼女因直言不讳而惹怒父亲，一无所有，幸被法兰西国王娶为皇后。

李尔退位后遭到两个女儿的冷眼和遗弃，她们甚至密谋要除掉他。

幸亏忠臣相救，李尔才幸免于难。

后来小女儿挂帅领兵为父复国。

这时，另两个女儿之间已出现矛盾，她们尔虞我诈要除去对方，但面对法军，她们又联合起来。
