The Picture of Dorian Gray
Chapters 3 - 5
Activities for the week:
Chapters 3–5
Before reading
5 Predict: read the heading for
Chapter 3 ‘Dorian in Love ’. Then write
about these questions: What kind of person do you
think Dorian would fall in love with? Why do you think
this? How do you think he would treat someone he was
in love with?(50 words per answer)
After reading
6 Compare & contrast: compare your predictions
from activity 5. Comment on at least two other contributions.
A comment like “it´s good” or “ I like it” will not be valid
It must be a reasonable analysis and opinion about the predictions.
7 Discuss: in teams, hold a
debate on one of these sayings from Lord Henry:
a ‘No woman is an artist. Women never have
anything to say, but they say it charmingly.’
b ‘The reason we like to think so well of others is
because we are afraid for ourselves.’
c ‘When we are happy we are always good, but
when we are good we are not always happy.’
Post your conclusions on the forum and be ready
to state your position, orally, in class.
