Teaching and learning procedure: Step 1 Presentation and introduction Activity 1 Presentation and introduction 1. Get the students to show and present their Body Language Information Sheet. 2. Introduce the learning objectives of this period. Step 2 Video Time: The Immigrant Activity 2 Pre-viewing 1. Lead in the topic by watching the short film clip and answering the following questions. 1) What kind of movie is it? A silent movie. 2) Who is the leading actor of the movie? Charlie Chaplin. 2. Introduce some background information about the film and Charlie Chaplin. In the film The Immigrant, Charlie Chaplin acts as an immigrant who is unused to life in a different country. The Immigrant was a 1917 film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977), who appeared in the film with the frequent co-star of many of his early films, Edna Purviance (1895-1958). In the film, Chaplin plays the Tramp, who in this case has taken a ship to immigrate to the United States. Much of the film involves his adventures during his voyage, where he meets and falls in love with Purviance. The latter half of the film revolves around Chaplin losing his money without realizing it, going to a restaurant to eat (where he is joined by Purviance), and then discovering that he cannot pay his and her bill. All ends happily, however, and Chaplin carries Purviance into the marriage license office so they can wed. 3. Look at the photos from the film The Immigrant and discuss the questions. 1) What do you think these characters’ body language and expressions mean? Picture 1: The captain of the ship has his body sideways while looking straight ahead, with his left arm stretched out and leaning on a railing. His eyes seem to be suspicious of someone or something. He is looking at the person or situation with full concentration. Picture 2: The main character played by Charlie Chaplin has his hands to his side and has his jacket at the shoulder held by the captain of the ship. He looks as if he has been caught doing something wrong and has stiff body language to show how helpless he is. It seems that he is looking at the woman for help. The captain is using his other hand to point downwards at the woman. He seems to be suggesting something is wrong, and that perhaps Chaplin has done something to the woman such as stolen her purse. The woman is looking towards the captain with her fingers interlocked and a wide-eyed expression. It seems like she is trying to appear innocent. Picture 3: Chaplin and the woman are looking at each other with a big smile. Chaplin has his hands behind his back showing he is calm and relaxed. The woman has her head to the side and hands up pointing towards him. I think they are friendly towards each other and feel happy. Picture 4: The waiter is looking at Chaplin with an annoyed facial expression. He is standing up and looking down at him, with his thumb up. I think he is telling Chaplin to leave the restaurant, and has the authority to do so. Chaplin is sitting down, and looking up at him with wide eyes and a closed mouth. It seems to show he is helpless. The man beside Chaplin is hungrily looking down at his spoon with the soup he is about to eat. Picture 5: The woman is sitting down with her hand up to the side of her face, and resting her cheek on it. She looks worried or concerned about something, and is giving it much thought. Picture 6: Chaplin is eating something that is not very good, and his eyes have rolled back and his mouth is open to show disgust. The man next to him looks confused yet intrigued at how Chaplin is reacting, because his body is slightly turned towards him and his eyes are concentrating on him. 2) In groups, discuss what you think the story of this film is. Perhaps it is about a man wanted by the police. He meets and falls in love with a woman on a ship. Then he goes to a restaurant, where his strange actions cause trouble. Activity 3 While-viewing 1. Watch the short film clip twice, and think about the answers to these questions. 2. Check the answers to these questions. 1) Why does Chaplin keep putting money into the woman's pocket and taking it out? He wants to give her some money, but cannot decide if he wants to give her all of his money, or keep some of the money for himself. 2) Where does Chaplin get the money to eat at the restaurant? He finds a coin on the ground. 3) Why does the waiter become angry with Chaplin? Because Chaplin has not taken off his hat. 4) Why does the man sitting next to Chaplin become angry with him? Because of Chaplin’s sloppy eating habits. 5) Can Chaplin pay the restaurant bill in the end? We don’t know from the video clip. 3. Try to retell the plot of the story in the film clip to reconstruct the text. Activity 4 Post-viewing Work in groups. Finish the following activities. 1. Write a script, assign roles, and “dub” the scene. 2. Discuss if the film is better dubbed or silent. The film is better silent rather than dubbed, as so much of the humor is physical.

Mainly focus on vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension exercises. 2.
