Dear Students and English Learners,

You may already have seen the film Shrek, but this time we will be working more specifically on the English language and hoping to expand your listening skills.  For most of the chapters we have some comments on vocabulary and idioms in English, but you can also click on to the explanations in Chinese.

A website that gives a little background on the movie is http://www.spielberg-dreamworks.com/shrek/  Look at the menu at the left side of the screen to find information.  One that has nice still shots from the movie with a summary of the story is http://www.movieweb.com/movie/shrek/index.html  To read a biography of William Steig, the writer of the children's story Shrek, go to http://www.boston.com/globe/magazine/6-22/interview/  

I hope you enjoy the film!

Dr. Katchen
