Using both modern-day connections such as dialects and vocal trends as well as the history of Victorian and Edwardian England, this unit on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion bridges the gaps between past and present, fiction and nonfiction, literature and rhetoric.

This unit was designed for an AP class. Many of these activities will appeal to a broader audience, while others will specifically prepare students for the rigorous exams in AP English Language and Composition, AP Seminar, or AP English Literature.
