12/6 A Glimpse of the Story

1. Warm up
Impresseive PPT shows. Play the aria of this musical with a series of slide shows clipped from movies or the musical play. The music and the pictures attracted Ss attention and successifully arouse their interests.
2. Play a small clip from the musical play where Christine pulled off Phantom's mask and introduce the two characters to the Ss.

3. Go over the pronunciation of the vocabulary.
4. Play another clip from the movie (the beginning, where the old Raoul and Christine went back to the Opera House for the auction of the chandelier). Ask Ss to guess the characters.
5. Show the reading text with pictures and recitation of the story. Ask Ss to read and listen at the same time. New words were highlighted with a different color.
6. Ask Ss to do slient reading (3 min) and tell them she's going to ask some comprehension questions.
7. Show the questions on the PPT and pick up Ss to answer the questions by playing a small game [queen]. The game is played like this.
O
O Queen O
O
When Lichi draw lots, those who are sitting around the lucky person should stand up. The slowest student to stand up should answer the question. If the chosen person accidentally stand up, she should answer the question.
This is an interesting way to pick up the person to answer the questions. Because everytime a person is picked up, four Ss must stand up immediately, no one would fall asleep. Ss enjoyed this game a lot.
8. Expansion activity---listening comprehension exercise on p. 156.
9. Topics for discussion.
  • Do you feel sorry for the Phantom? Why or why not?
  • If you were Christine, what would you do to the Phantom at the end of the story? Would you kiss him?
  • Why did the Phantom finally let Christine and Raoul leave?

Ask Ss to form groups of four. Give them 3 minutes to discuss. After that, use the game[queen] to find "volunteers". This time, the form is different.
