THE BEUTY AND THE BEAST


Beauty and the Beast(1991)


Plot


·         Belle is a girl who is dissatisfied with life in a small provincial French town.
·         The Beast is a prince who was placed under a spell because he could not love. 
·         Prince Adam was cursed to a beast form by Enchantress who saw no love in his arrogant heart for others.
·         The one way he could break the spell was to learn to love another and earn her love in return before the last petal from his enchanted rose fell.
characters





·         Belle: A bookish young woman who falls in love with the Beast.
·         The beats: a cold-hearted prince transformed into a beast as punishment for his selfishness. 
·         Gaston: he was a highly egotistical hunter who vies for Belle's hand in marriage and is determined not to let anyone else win her heart
setting

The structure point



·         the setting of Beauty and the Beast is rural France in roughly the 18th century.
·         A brief opening scene introduces Beauty's family—her father and three sisters—who live in wealthy circumstances.
·         In contrast to the family's simple home is the dark, dangerous forest that lies behind the farm house. 









·        the beast not outside but inside; however charming someone may seem to be, it is not their outside facade you should be looking at but what lies below it.

·         Treat others the way you wish to be treated!

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING LITERATURE TO STUDENTS

Conversational warm-up
Teaching the lesson
Why do it?
Group work can be an effective method to motivate students, encourage active learning, and develop key critical-thinking, communication, and decision-making skills. But without careful planning and facilitation, group work can frustrate students and instructors and feel like a waste of time. Use these suggestions to help implement group work successfully in your classroom.
Drawing is a form of graphic response also serves the range of learning styles that exist in any real classroom; we can invite them to use drawing as one several tools as one job on a role sheet.
High school is a time where many students interested in art want to learn to draw realistically. This is a very reasonable goal; however, many lessons can be learned from drawing in an abstract style as well. With those considerations, and the addition of some examples throughout art history, numerous projects exist for high school students depending on the specific medium they would like to pursue.
