Warm-Up (Act 1 Activator) When you meet someone for the first time, what do you notice first about that person? Do you believe that physical appearance and presentation is important? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9XaHxJj5Vo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSDoPY9B0wQ

Pygmalion Notes You are responsible for creating your own notes for each act. You will be able to use them on your assessment, so it will work in your favor to create yourself some awesome notes for each act! For each act, I will give you vocabulary you need to know as well as any background information. I would recommend that you make notes as we read – anything we talk about, quotes we discuss in depth, etc… write it down if you think it’s important. You will answer questions for each act on these pages as well. Basically, these pages you create in your notebook are your record of the work and thought you put in during this unit, and they will be graded.

Pygmalion Preface – What is the purpose of a preface? Read and respond: 1) What is Shaw’s “big beef” and what is his opinion about rhetoric in general? 2) Do you agree that art should always be didactic (have a lesson to teach, usually moral)? Why or why not? Do you think most art and literature is didactic or not? Why? 3) How can you connect the preface to the importance of language?

Act 1 Characters in Act 1: Daughter (Clara) Mother Bystander Freddy Flower Girl Gentleman (becomes Pickering on p.9) Note Taker (becomes Higgins on p.9)

Act 1 Covent Garden: A neighborhood in London that hosted a huge fruit and vegetable market. It was originally an upper class area, but in the 17th century fell into disrepute, as taverns, theatres, coffee-houses and brothels opened up; the gentry moved away, and rakes, wits and playwrights moved in. By the 18th century it had become a well-known red-light district, attracting notable prostitutes. Parliament stepped in soon after to rebuild the area, get rid of the brothels, and restore it as a center for trade and markets. This is where the play opens.

Act 1 Evening wear of the upper class – wear to the theatre, parties, etc.

Act 1 Flower Girl: A young lady whose job is to sell flowers or plants at the street market

Act 1 – How does language reflect social class? Cockney: Refers to working-class Londoners in the East End. Linguistically, it can refer to the accent and form of English spoken by this group. This accent is considered to signal low social status or lack of education, as it generally would have been a “blue-collar” accent. When the professor hears the flower girl in the market, she is speaking in a Cockney accent. Professor Higgins will refer to it as, “the English that will keep her in the gutter to the end of her days.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMN9VNhpy_8 Language & Social Class Activity

Act 1 English Money: crown, pound, tuppence, half-pence

Act 1 The Note Taker: He is a professor of linguistics and can recognize where people are from simply by listening to their accents. He is fascinated with the English language and how people speak. He says: “Simply phonetics. The science of speech. That’s my profession: also my hobby. Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby! You can spot an Irishman or a Yorkshireman by his brogue. I can place any man within six miles. I can place him within two miles in London. Sometimes within two streets.”

Act 1 Discussion Questions: 1) What tensions already show in the relations between the mother. the daughter (Clara), and the son, Freddy? Are these social tensions, family tensions, or personality tensions? Do you think those same issues would exist if Mother, Clara, and Freddy were in the same social class as the flower girl? Why or why not? 2) From reading Shaw's Preface, we know he has an enthusiastic—possibly overzealous—love for phonetics. Knowing this, what might we infer regarding Shaw’s opinion of people who spoke like the flower girl? Make a prediction about the direction you think this text goes—or what you think happens to the flower girl in the story—based on your knowledge of this author’s bias.

Act 1 Summarizer What is your first impression of the flower girl? What is the Note Taker’s first impression of the flower girl?
