Grantmom Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I love musicals, and I love seeing them live in the theater or watching the movie version (Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, etc). I have had songs from My Fair Lady stuck in my head for days now and I thought it would be fun to watch with my kids. Then I thought, maybe my older child could read the play and we could make it into a unit for English. I found this link with some great writing activities, on a touring company's website: http://www.myfairladythemusical.com/education.htm Click on "download worksheets", but it's not really a download, it just opens up a pdf in another window. So, now I have to figure out if we should watch the movie first, or read the play first? What do you all think? Two totally different endings.

Lori D. Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for the link! :) So, now I have to figure out if we should watch the movie first, or read the play first? What do you all think? Two totally different endings. How about watching back-to-back nights: a performance of the original play of Pygmalion, and then My Fair Lady. The musical movie is actually quite close to the original play, and is filmed in such a way as to resemble watching a play. :) Also, here's a quick version of the original Greek myth from which the George Bernard Shaw play gets its name.
