To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the first two sections of the Learning Guide to My Fair Lady.
Description: Professor Henry Higgins, an expert in phonetics and
in the dialects of England, brags that within six months he can
take a street girl with a strong Cockney accent and pass her off as
a duchess. Eliza Doolittle, the flower girl whose almost
incomprehensible accent spawned this boast, offers to pay
for speech lessons. She wants to "speak like a lady." Higgins' new
acquaintance, Colonel Pickering, bets Higgins that he can't make
Eliza acceptable to upper class society in six months. The rest is
an absolutely charming story. The musical is based on the play
Pygmalion
by George Bernard Shaw.
Benefits: This movie describes what is common in many societies:
that accent determines social standing and economic opportunity.
The film also provides an introduction to the study of phonetics.
Last but not least, it presents a great story and unforgettable
songs, including: "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Oh, Wouldn't It
Be Loverly," "The Street Where You Live," "I'm Getting Married in
the Morning," and "With a Little Bit of Luck."
This musical has become a classic and is frequently referred
to in conversation, print and film.
The Learning Guide to My Fair Lady also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
