2019-2020年高中英语Unit5Enjoyingnovels-usinglanguagePart One: Teaching DesignPeriod 3: A sample lesson plan for Using Language(“THE PROPOSAL” FROM PRIDE AND PREJUDICE )AimsTo help students read the passage “THE PROPOSAL” FROM PRIDE AND PREJUDICE on page 47To help students to use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writingProceduresI. Warming up by learning about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy from Pride and PrejudiceElizabeth has long believed that Mr. Darcy is of the plete opposite nature, but in fact, she was only blinded by the wrongful first impression she had of him. In addition, when she unexpectedly meets Mr. Darcy at Pemberley she is astonished by his excellent manners. She now realizes for herself that her prejudices towards him had been wrong. The prejudices that Mrs. Bennet have are mostly directed towards the general feelings of characters and her own expectations for her daughters. In the very opening statement this is evident since after the omniscient voice explains about how a “single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” (p.1), the readers will observe Mrs. Bennet supporting this idea fully and trying to convince her husband that Mr. Bingley, a man of four or five thousand a year, is the rightful property of one of their daughters. She also believes that Mr. Bennet is going to die before her, and leave her and the girls, without any home because of the entailment on their estate, Longbourn, to a male heir only. However when Mr. Collins, on the behalf of Lady Catherine de Bourgh, wants to make Mrs. Bennets daughters “every possible amends” (p.51), she prejudices that Mr. Collin will marry one of the girls, but as earlier explained, his marriage proposal is refused and this is, of course, devastating news to Mrs. Bennet.Later on when Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy has decided to marry, Mrs. Bennet states that she clearly “knows how much you Elizabeth dislike him” (p.309) upon receiving the news of them marrying. This shows that her prejudice has continued for a longer time than Elizabeths, but this is solely because she has not been in his surroundings for a long time and therefore not seen how he has changed since the Netherfield ball.II. Listening Go to page 46 and do exercises 1, 2, and 3. III. Discussing what kind of person will make a good friend A Good FriendIn kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one. In primary school your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you; held your hand as you walked through the scary halls; helped you stand up to the class bully; shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus; saved a seat on the back of the bus for you; knew who you had a crush on and never understood why. In secondary school your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy their social studies homework; went to that cool party with you so you wouldnt wind up being the only freshie there; did not let you lunch alone. In pre-university your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car; convinced your parents that you shouldnt be grounded; consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan; found you a date to the prom or went to the prom with you (both without dates); helped you pick a university and assured you that you would get into that university; helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time letting you go.On the threshold of adulthood your idea of a good friend was the person who was there when you just couldnt deal with your parents; assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything; just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories; and reassured you that you would make it in university as well as you had these past 18 years; and most importantly sent you off to university knowing you were loved. Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, hold your hand when youre scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you bee a better person, and most importantly loves you! Pass this url on to those friends of the past, and those of the future.and those you have met along the way. Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who we bee, never forget who helped us get there. Theres never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling your friends how much you miss them or how much you love them. IV. Reading for forms and for contentsRead the article “THE PROPOSAL” FROM PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (on page 47) to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions. “THE PROPOSAL” FROM PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (on page 47)After several minutes, he came towards her/ in a breathless manner. “In vain /have I struggled! It will not do. You must allow me/ to tell you/ how much I adore and love you.” Elizabeth was astonished/ and she stared at him/ silently. This was a signal/ for him/ to continue. He spoke fluently, but concentrated on her low social rank/ with a warmth/ which did not remend him/ as a husband.At first, in spite of disliking him, she did not discount his affection, and was sensitive/ to the pain/ she was going to cause him/ when she declined his offer of marriage. But/ as he continued/ in his arrogant way, she forgot his feelings. He concluded/ by hoping that/she would accept his hand/ in marriage. He spoke of his anxiety, but/ it was evident/ from his face/ that he felt sure of her answer. When he finished, she responded, “Sorry, sir. I cant marry you.”Mr Darcy listened to her words/ with great surprise. He struggled/ to control the expression/ on his face. The pause was dreadful. At length/ he asked, “And/ this is all the reply/ that I am to have! I might, perhaps, ask why I am refused/ so abruptly?” “I might as well enquire,” replied she, “why you told me/ that you liked me/ against your will? But/ there are other things! Do you think that/ I would accept the man/ who has ruined the happiness of my beloved sister?”At these words, Mr Darcys face changed colour/ but he listened/ while she continued. “I have every reason/ in the world/ to think ill of you. You cannot deny that /you opposed the marriage of my sister/ with your friend,” she repeated. With assumed calmness/ he replied, “I did everything/ in my power/ to separate my friend /from your sister, and I rejoice/ in my success.” “But/ this is not the only reason/ I dislike you,” she continued, “Long ago/ my initial opinion of you/ was decided when I was informed/ by Mr Wickham of his hardships.”“You take a special interest/ in that gentlemans concerns,” said/ Darcy less calmly.“Who can help feeling sorry/ for his hardships?”“His hardships,” repeated/ Darcy angrily, “have been great indeed.”“He is poor/ because of you. He is innocent/ yet you treat his hardships/ with extreme unkindness,” Elizabeth replied.“And this,” cried/ Darcy/ as he walked/ with quick steps/ across the room, “is your opinion of me! Thank you/ for being so outspoken. My faults are heavy indeed! But/ perhaps,” added he, stopping/ in his walk/ and turning towards her, “if your pride has not been hurt/ by my honest confession/ and if I had flattered you, it might have been different. I am not ashamed of the feelings/ I related. They were natural and just. Could you expect me/ to congratulate myself/ on relations, whose condition/ in life/ is so decidedly beneath my own?”Elizabeth felt herself growing angry. “You are mistaken, Mr Darcy. Your rudeness/ when you offered me your hand/ in marriage/ helped me. It spared me/ any concern/ I might have felt/ in refusing you/ if you had behaved more like a gentleman.”He replied politely and coldly, “You have said quite enough, madam. Forgive me/ for having taken up so much of your time/ and accept my best wishes/ for your health /and happiness.” And/ with these words/ he hastily left the room.V.
