The teacher plays the first act of Episode 2 of Family Album, U.S.A. with sound off. After watching it, she asks them to retell what they think takes place in the story. Then she gives them a copy of the script without the words and expressions learned. She plays it again, but this time with the sound on to let the students complete the script.
Complete Script:
Harry: Excuse me. Can you help me?
Vendor: Sure, what do you want?
Harry: Where is 83 Wooster Street?
Vendor: That’s easy. Walk to the corner. Then make a left turn. Then walk two blocks to the traffic light. Make another left to Woodster.
Harry: Thank you. To the corner and then a left?
Vendor: Yeah. A left. Hot dog? Only seventy-five cents.
Harry: No, thank you. I have a dinner date.
A little later, Harry is still lost. He goes to a pay phone and dials Susan’s telephone number.
Harry: 555-9470 ... and it’s busy .... Try again.
555-9470... and it’s still busy. (He walks to a grocery store to ask for
directions)
Excuse me, ma’am. I’m looking for 83 Wooster Street.
Woman: Yes. Wooster Street is two blocks, and 83 is to the right, about two
blocks.
Harry: Thank you, thank you!
