Model play of The Secret of the Black Tower
NOTE: (Scene 1 should consist of dialogue based on the description in the SB)
Scene 2
NARRATOR: ... The three friends have gone to bed and are trying to fall asleep when suddenly they hear a sound they'd never heard before.
LI RONGll: (raising his head from the pillow) My God! What was that?
ZHANG FEI: Oh, my, what was that indeed?
BAO NAN: Who cares? Get some sleep!
LI RONGll: Huh? Get some sleep? How can you sleep when you know that --
BAO NAN: Know what? That a terrible monster is about to eat us? 11
ZHANG FEI:. Or maybe it's a dragon that will breathe fire on us!
BAO NAN: Or maybe it's an old rat that ran into a wall and hurt itself.
ZHANG FEI: There are rats in this tower? Li Rongji, you told me this tower had no rats?
LI RONGll: Of course, there are no rats.
BAO NAN: Li Rongji is probably right.
LI RONGll: (wearing a big smile) Ah, so you agree it could be a monster.
BAO NAN: I didn't mean that. I mean it's got to be a mouse. Now go back to sleep, silly.
LI RONGll: I am not silly!
NARRATOR: Suddenly they hear the noise again, only this time it is louder.
LI RONGll: Does that sound like a mouse to you? Huh? Huh?
ZHANG FEI: Yeah, mice squeak, they don't roar.
BAO NAN: OK. Then go have a look and find out for yourself.
LI RONGll: What? Are you crazy? I'm not climbing down those stone stairs by myself in the dark. Oh, no!
BAO NAN: Then take Zhang Fei with you. And let me get some sleep.
NARRATOR: After making some plans, they take off their shoes to beat the monster, they climb down the stairs. Just as they are passing a small window in the tower they hear the sound again.
LI RONGll: Oh, my! There it is again!
ZHANG FEI: (looking out the window) Look! A rainstorm!
TOGETHER: And lots of lightning. (They look at each other, feeling ridiculous. For a moment, the lightning stops and it becomes very quiet. )
BAO NAN: Zzzzz….Zzzzz
LI RONGJI: What was that? That noise came from inside this tower.
ZHANG FEI: You're a great detective, Li Rongji. (He yawns.) That's Bao Nan having a good rest.
LI RONGJI: Huh? Get some sleep? How can you sleep when you know that
BAONAN: Know what?

P: No, you don't say?
M: Yes, she was sitting there when I walked by but she didn't know it was me.
P: How could she forget? (He sees his wife putting her hands to her face) Oh, I'm sorry.
M: That's all right. Anyway, we both know I did it to myself.
P: Did what, dear?
M: Made a fool of myself. I simply had to be the loveliest lady at the ball and look what it cost me and you. I'm sorry.
P: Forget it, dear. What's past is past. You mustn't keep blaming yourself.
M: But you don't know the worst part. Oh, I still can't believe it! She told me that the diamond necklace wasn't real.
P: What do you mean? M: It wasn't real. It was only worth a few hundred francs.
P: Oh my goodness! And we worked so hard to pay for that necklace. Our whole life... But at least we did the right thing. We must forget about the past. At least we still have each other.
M: (not listening) And to think she gets to keep the necklace now! (She shakes her head many times)

(二) 整體感知
Step 1 Presentation
Today we are going to deal with the part “l(fā)anguage study”. First, let’s come to “words study”, and then we’ll talk about the grammar.
(三)教學過程

Many students like having snacks. Is the habit good or bad? Let s read “Snacks".
Step 3 Listening to the Passage
Step 4 Reading comprehension
After fast reading, do the following True-or-False exercises.
Answers to comprehension
1 TV shows have plots, that is, they tell stories just like a play. Computer games don't really tell stories but they do have a beginning, middle, and end to their action, like plays and characters.
2 The roles we play in life may be real or fake. We may act the way we truly think and feel or pretend to be someone we are not-just like an actor does. Often the role we play depends on our relationship to others, especially how we feel about them.
3 Shakespeare once wrote, "All the world's a stage," If life is like theatre, then we are all actors on its stage. Some of us have big roles to play while others have small roles. But each role is important to the success of the play, just like in the real life.
4 The task here is for Ss to take one of the two prompts from the reading and create a play around it. One deals with a student who meets an alien on her way to her grandmother's home. The other involves a student who meets a girl on her way to school who looks exactly like her.
Give the students some explanations when necessary.
Step 5 Writing
Now let s have some listening training.
Sample plays:
1 A strange encounter
Cast of characters
Jane, a teenage girl
Jane 2 ("Girl"), Jane's clone
J = lane; G = Girl
(Jane is walking down the street. She is on her way to school and is carrying a book bag. She is smiling and singing a song. Suddenly another Girl comes towards her. Jane looks at her and seems surprised.)
J: (to herself): Hmm, that's strange. That girl looks familiar.
(The Girl comes closer. Both girls stare at each other. They look shocked. After a brief silence, they start speaking at the same time.)
J and G: Oh my! It's me!
J: You look just like me!
G: No, you look like me!
J: I'm Jane. What's your name?
G: My name is Jane 2.
J: We have the same name!
G: No, my name is Jane 2, you know, the number two, not also too.
J: What do you mean?
G: I'm not sure, but I think that you must be my clone.
J: Your what?
G: Your clone. You know, like a twin, or a copy.
J: I didn't know I had a twin.
G: Well, I only found out yesterday. That's why I came here, to find you and try to find the scientists that made me. We must find him!
J: This can't be true! There are no human clones. They must have been lying to you.
G: Think about it. Look at us. We are the same. We must be clones.
J: If you are right, then why didn't my parents tell me about you?
G: They must not have known. But we can't keep it a secret anymore. We must go and tell them at once.
J: OK, let's go. (Girl moves towards exit.) No, wait. I have a better idea. If we are the same, and if nobody knows it, maybe we should try to have some fun before we tell people. Let's go to my school and play a trick on my classmates.
(They laugh and walk off stage.)
2 You must believe me!
Cast of characters
Mary Smith, a teenage girl
Peter Scoles, one of Jane' s classmates
Steven Smith, Mary's father
Angela Smith, Mary's mother
Ploink and Bzoink, aliens from the planet Hummdrumm
M = Mary; J = Jeff; S = Steven; A = Angela
Scene 1
(Mary is sitting at home. She is reading a book. Suddenly a strange red light shines from a corner of the room. There:S- a loud crash and suddenly Jeff is standing in Mary’s room.)
M: Jeff! Where did you come from?
J: (Looks around.) Where am I? Is that you Mary? M: Yes, of course it's me.
J: Quick, tell me what year it is!
M: What do you mean? It's 20O4! What a strange question.
J: 2004! Thank goodness! Oh, Mary, I'm back!
M: What do you mean "you're back?" Where have you been?
J: I've been to the future!
Scene 2
(Jeff and Mary are talking to Steven and Angela, Mary’s parents.)
A: Now, that's a strange story, Jeff. You say you were on your way to your grandmother and then some ...
J: Small green men.
A: Small green men took you to the year...
M: 4089.
S: That's ridiculous, Jeff. Your story can't be true. You must be lying or trying to play a trick on us. You mustn't lie to people, Jeff!
J: I'm not lying, Mr. Smith! It's true. I know it must seem strange, but I am telling you the truth. You must believe me. The people in the future warned me about something terrible that will happen next month. We must stop it from happening!
A: You must understand that it is difficult for us to believe you, Jeff.
J: Please listen to me! Here's what they told me...
(Scene ends. The next scene is set in the future. The aliens are telling Jetf what will happen.)
Scene 3
(The year 4089, aboard an alien spaceship. Ploink and Bzoink are showing Jeff what the Earth looks like in the future. They are wearing speaking devices that translate what they say into English.)
P: Look, Jeff, I know this is difficulty to believe, but you must listen to us. It's for your own good. Look at the earth down there. Do you see any people or animals?
J: No, no... it's all... empty and quiet. And there are no trees or planet. And why is the water black?
B: That's what we are trying to tell you. All life on earth will die unless you start thinking about the environment.
J: Oh my! What happened? How did the earth end up like this? It was such a beautiful planet!
P: Yes, it was. But it's not too late. That's why we have been sent here. You can save the earth!
J: Me? Save the earth? No, that can't be right. I'm just a middle school student. I can't do anything about this.
B: You're wrong, Jeff. There is something you can do, in fact must do if you want to keep the future from looking like this.
J: But what can I do? '
P: It's simple. We have looked at what happened in the past and we know that what you did...
B: Or rather what you didn't do!
P: That's right, what you didn't do caused all this.
J: What, me? How?
P: Next month, there will be a special program about the environment in your school. You and your classmates were asked to take part in a speech competition.
J: Yes, but I'm not going to give a speech ...
B: That's the problem! We have looked at another possible future...
J: What do you mean "another future"?
P: We can do that. We saw another future where you gave the speech together with your friend Mary. You won the speech competition and were chosen to give: your speech on TV. People listened to your speech and started thinking about the environment. You and f your classmates learned more about the environment, as did students all over the world. Because so many people thought about the environment and made small changes in their life, the earth was saved. Look at this. (They show Jeff another future, where the earth is green and blue again and full of life and happiness.)
J: (With tears in his eyes.) That's beautiful.
P: Now go back and give that speech, Jeff. The future of this planet depends on it.
J: Yes, I must. I will. Let's go!

Step 3 Talking practice
Situation 1
(Mathilde and her husband are sitting at the breakfast table. They both look sad and shocked.)
M = Mathilde H = Husband
M: Oh my! I can't believe I lost the necklace. What are we going to do? (She starts crying.)
H: There, there, don't cry. We'll think of something. Maybe someone has found it.
M: Oh, if only that were true! That necklace is very expensive. We must find it so we can return it.
H: Well, if we don't find it, we'll have to tell your friend that you lost her necklace.
M: That's impossible! I couldn't live knowing that I had lost my friend's necklace. No, if we don't find it, we'll have to buy a new one.
H: How can we buy a necklace like that? We don't have that much money?
M: I don't care what we'll have to do, as long as we return the necklace. (She is getting upset again.)
H: Ok, calm down. I suppose we could try to borrow some money at the bank. Of course, it would take us many years of hard work to pay back the loan.
M: Oh darling, we must! Please help me! We can make it if we both try our best.
H: I know we can. Let's go to the bank tomorrow and see about that loan.
M: Thank you!
Situation 2
(Mathilde returns after talking to her friend. She looks tired. Her husband is sitting in his chair. He is old and tired.)
M: Oh, Pierre! Pierre!
H: What is it?
M: I just talked to the friend whose necklace I lost. You can never guess what she told me!
H: What?
M: The necklace ...
H: Did she discover that we had bought a new one?
M: No. Oh, the necklace I lost, it, it ... it wasn't real!
H: Not real? What do you mean?
M: It was made of glass.
H: Oh my! And we... we worked so hard to pay back that loan. All those years.
M: I was angry at first and I felt so stupid, but now I think we still did the right thing. We may have worked hard and ...
H: At least we did what we had to do.
M: Yes. But, if only...

Step 7 Sample writng
Dear Fantastic Films,
My name is Song Lin and I am fifteen years old. I live in a town in western China. I read your ad and decided to send you a letter. I have always wanted to be an actor. When I was five years old, I used to sing songs and read poems to my family. In school, I have acted in many plays and I have also taken some classes in acting. Last year, I was given an award by our town for my performance in the play Let's Dance. I think I could be a good actor, because I am interested in people and the way they think. If I can study acting in your school, I am sure that I can learn the things I still need to become _ good actor. Becoming a star is not so important to me, but I would love to spend my life working in the film industry. I want to make films that show people how beautiful life can be and that make people smile and happy. Thank you for giving me this chance, I hope you will choose me as one of the students for your school.
Yours sincerely,
Song Lin
