Greetings!
We're so near the end of our CHAT classes that I almost forgot to write my weekly note to parents.
We had a lively discussion this week of the last Acts of Pygmalion by
George Bernard Shaw. Most of the students had not read the last part
of the book because they didn't realize that the "Sequel" was part of
the whole piece. Following the dramatic portion of the play, Shaw
writes a "rest of the story" prose section in which he explains how
Eliza and Higgins don't marry. Eliza marries Freddy and they start a
flower shop. He explains that this happens because of their
personalities. We discussed the various characters at length. The
students had many great, insightful comments.
Next week is our last week. We'll watch part of My Fair Lady and review our readings. I have a rather unusual "final exam" prepared for them.
Until next week ...
Mrs. Prichard
