.2 While-reading Activities
Step 6. Intensive reading
Ss are required to read the passage carefully again and answer some detailed questions on the screen. Then teacher picks out some difficult sentences to explain.
1. They develop a style that agents market agressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. (Para. 3)
Meaning: The arists form a style that agents push hard to make them become popular in a fairly quick way. Most of artists would have rather a vague idea about how on earth they become famous. Here, in this sentence, “ride on the express elevator to the top” is metaphorically used, indicating the artists seek their fame in a rapid way.
2. After their enthusiasm dissolved, the public simply move on to the next flavor of the the month. (Para. 3)
Meaning: After their enthusiasm has disappeared, the public simply turn to another star who is very popular at that time, but similarly only for a short period of time. Here the author use “the month” to indicate a short period of time.
3. Fame’s spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle — a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure. (Para. 5)
Meaning: Fame leads to a lot of publicity. If a famous person commits a fraud, it will be discovered by the public quickly. And famous people are always the focus of the public, so they attract too much attention which makes them live under great pressure. Here “a tropical jungle” is metaphorically used.
4. One drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire well of a man’s soul, and so an artist who remains true to himself or herself is particularly amazing. (Para. 6)
Meaning: Even a little bit of fame can poison a man’s soul to great extent, and so an artist who still acts according to his or her own will or judgment is especially amazing. Here both “drop” and “well” are metaphorically used. “drop” here means a little bit, or a small tinge..
If you say someone is/remains true to sb./sth., you mean someone is loyal to sb./sth. in a consistent way.
I promise I will always remain to myself forever. 我发誓我将永远忠于自我。
Purpose: Enhance students’ understanding of the text and train students’ analysis ability.
Method: Read the text together; Use task-based language teaching method, reading
approach, communicative approach, grammar-translation approach and total physical response method.
