Who wrote what The lesson plan above is Dom Jones's, including her choice of this week's power vocabulary. The Chinese, the example sentences and the practice sets below are added by My Culture Connect so the plan can be taught without preparation.
上面的教案出自 Dom Jones,包括本週核心字彙的選擇;下面的中文、例句與練習由人師教育協會補充,讓這份教案不必備課就能上。

Sound on, sound off · what English adds

有聲、靜音・英文多給了什麼

Dom's activity, with the comparison written out. Play with sound, then muted, then ask this list. The gap between the two viewings is where the English lives.
Dom 的活動,把對照題目寫出來。先有聲播一次、再靜音播一次,然後問這幾題。兩次之間的差距,就是英文存在的地方。

  1. 靜音看得出來的:誰在生氣 · 誰先離開 · 發生了什麼事
  2. 只有聲音告訴你的:他是不是在開玩笑 · 誰在這段關係裡比較有主導權 · 他們有多熟
  3. Q1 They are ______ (friends / family / strangers). How do you know from the words?
  4. Q2 Which line changes the mood? Read it aloud in two different tones.
  5. Q3 Is anyone lying? What did you hear that the picture did not show?

The trap · sarcasm is invisible until it is named

陷阱・反話不點破就看不見

English drops into sarcasm constantly and marks it only with tone. Learners take it literally and miss the joke, or worse, think the speaker meant it. Play one line two ways and the whole class hears it at once.
英文經常說反話,而且只用語氣標記。學習者照字面理解,不是錯過笑點,就是以為對方是認真的。同一句用兩種語氣各唸一次,全班立刻就聽出來了。

  1. "Great. Just great." ← 語氣一變,意思完全相反
  2. "Oh, that's brilliant." ← 可能是稱讚,也可能是「你完蛋了」
  3. "Thanks a lot." ← 字面是道謝,語氣可以是責怪
  4. 線索:拉長的音 · 平板的語調 · 跟畫面明顯不符的字
  5. Your turn: 找出這場戲裡一句表面與真意相反的話。

Scene Detective · eight observations

場景偵探・八個觀察

Dom's homework asks for eight observations and five expressions. Split them so students know what counts: an observation needs evidence, an expression needs to be reusable outside this film.
Dom 的作業要八個觀察與五個說法。分清楚什麼算數:觀察必須帶證據,說法必須是離開這部片還用得上的。

  1. 觀察(要帶證據):I noticed ______ , which suggests ______ .
  2. ① 誰先說話?為什麼是他?
  3. ② 誰的句子比較短?(短句常代表生氣或有權力)
  4. ③ 有沒有人打斷別人?
  5. ④ 最後一句話是誰說的?
  6. 有用的說法(要能帶走):不是劇情台詞,是像 "Hang on a second" 這種明天就能用的話。

Exit ticket · one line, two meanings

出場券・一句話,兩種意思

Write one line from the scene and both readings of it. If they cannot find one, they have not been listening to tone.
寫下戲裡的一句話,以及它的兩種解讀。找不到的話,代表還沒開始聽語氣。

  1. The line: " ______ "
  2. It could mean ______ , or it could mean ______ .

Prep · 備課 No preparation needed. Dom's sound-on then sound-off comparison is the whole lesson, so protect the time for it. What students discover is what English carries that pictures cannot: who has the power, whether someone is joking, and how close the two people are.
不必備課。Dom 設計的「先有聲再靜音」對照就是整堂課,時間要留給它。學生會發現英文承載了畫面給不了的東西:誰有主導權、對方是不是在開玩笑、兩個人有多熟。

Optional video / media plug-in影片與媒體(選用)

Optional: teacher-selected movie scene.

Next-week routine下週例行
