STEP I Warming up（热身）
Review the story Pygmalion
T : Last period, we learned something about the Greek story Pygmalion and the play version by Shaw. Of all Shaw’s plays, Pygmalion is without the doubt the most beloved and popularly received. Several film versions have been made of the play, and it has even been adapted into a musical. In fact, the film version of 1963 helped Shaw to become the first and only man ever to win the double prize: the Nobel Prize for literature and an Academy Award. Do you still remember the story? Now who can tell it to all of us?
Ask the Ss whether they know the Greek story of Pygmalion. If they know, tell the story.
