Building Background Knowledge: Introducing Pygmalion

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners take a gallery walk around the room to view images and text of Victorian England culture and then complete a Predictions Walk note-catcher as they circulate and take turns reading quotation strips from Pygmalion. Class members use the quotes to predict what the text may be about, and then listen to the teacher read aloud an excerpt from Pygmalion.
