Write this newspaper report on the board . |TRAGIC DISCOVERY | |The body of Mrs.Bridget Delaney, aged 88, was discovered when | |police broke into her home on Monday night. The police were | |called after neighbour noticed she had not taken in her milk or | |newspapers for over a week. It appears that Mrs.Delaney, who | |lived alone, had fallen downstairs and been unable to attract the| |attention of her neighbours. Mrs. Delaney had one daughter, who | |is married and lives in Australia. | Answer the following questions: 1. When was the body discovered? 2. Did Mrs.Delaney take in her milk and her newspaper? 3. Did she live alone? 4. Had she a family? 5. Did her daughter pitty about the death? 6. Was she a rich woman? 7. Did she take care about her mother? 8. Could Mrs.Delaney escape this tragedy? 9. Was her daughter innocent in this tragedy? In pairs discuss how this tragedy could have been avoided. Then get 3 - 4 people to report back on what decision they reached. 2. WHILE - READING ACTIVITY Read the poem aloud to the class. A SAD SONG ABOUT GREENWICH VILLAGE She lives in a garret She sweeps her must longing Up a haunted stair, As dawn steales near. And even when she`s frightened And even when she`s crying There`s nobody to care There`s nobody to tell. She cooks so small a dinner I haven`t seen my neighbour She dines on the smell, Since a long time ago And even if she`s hungry And even if she`s dead There`s nobody to tell There`s nobody to know. Let the class see a copy of the poem (write it on the board) Find four pictures (from newspapers, magazines, books) of four women - an least one should be of a young woman and one an old. Ask the students to work in pairs. They should decide which picture could be the photo of the woman in the poem. They will need to provide evidence from the poem - is she old or young? (eg. she`s awake early in the morning - "dawn steals near" - does this mean she is old? She lives at the top of the house - "in a garret" - is she then young as an old woman wouldn`t manage the stairs? Lead into discussion about the life of the person in the poem. You could also do some language work - eg. make a list of unusual combinations (haunted stair, dines on the smell, dawn steals near). POST- READING ACTIVITIES. 1. Students could write a short biography of the woman. What is her name? Her age? Does she have a family living somewhere else? What does she do all day? etc. 2. Role Play - one person could be the "I" in the poem, the other the woman. The meet on the stairs one day. The neighbour wants to be friendly and invites the lonely person for afternoon tea.
