  30. Before You Read • Read the timeline of Marc Chagall’s life on page 103. • Discuss the questions on page 104 and use the facts from the timeline on page 103. 1. Russia, France, US; France 2. art 3. his wife Bella 4. 1941 5. Saint-Paul de Vence, France

  31. 3. Use the information in the timeline to form opinions about Marc Chagall’s life (Page104 ). Discuss your opinions. 1. Chagall was probably the happiest during the time he lived in France andduring his marriage with Bella. During those times he developed his own uniquestyle. In addition, he loved Bella very much and often included her image in hispaintings.

  32. 2. He was probably the saddest during the war and after Bella died. During thewar, he had to leave France, and the Nazis destroyed many of his paintings.Bella’s death probably affected him greatly. 3. Chagall loved Bella very much. She’s the subject of many of his paintings andshe inspired him greatly. 4. Chagall moved to United States to avoid Nazi persecution. 5. Bella’s death was probably the reason why Chagall stopped painting for awhile.

  33. Global Reading • Read the excerpt from an art history textbook. As you read, underline the opinions. Take notes on the main ideas. • Read the statements on page 105 and decide if they are true (T) or false (F). 1. T 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. F 7. T

  34. Identifying Facts • A fact is an information that is true for everyone. It can be tested or proven. For example: • Marc Chagall was a Russian artist. • I and The Village is a painting • To find facts, ask yourself, “Can this be proven to be true ?” • If the answer is yes, then it is a fact. • Recognizing and remembering important facts help you understand any subject. • Including facts in your writing and speech will help you support your own ideas.

  35. 3. Study the painting I and the Village on page 104. Write four facts about the painting. Read your facts to a partner and your partner will decide if your statements are facts. Example: A: In I and the Village there is a big green face. B: Yes that is a fact. A:The green face looks very strange. B: No, that is not a fact. You can’t prove it.

  36. Focused Reading • Read the text on pages 104-105 again. Circle the best answer to complete each statement. 1. b 2. b 3. c 4. c 5. a

  37. Identifying Opinions • Recognizing opinions is an important part of evaluating a text. • An opinion is a person’s thought, belief, or feeling about something. • An opinion is often introduced by specific phrases like: • I think (that)…., I believe (that)….., I feel (that)…, In my opinion • Words such as good, bad, best, beautiful are also used. • Example • I think that Marc Chagall’s art is beautiful. • If a statement does not use these expressions ask yourself: • Can I check or prove this ? If answer is no, it is an opinion • Can I agree or disagree ? If answer is yes, it is an opinion

  38. 2. Read the excerpts from the reading. Each contains an opinion, a fact or both. Underline facts once and opinions twice. Example: The main part of the painting shows a green man (probably marc Chagall himself) and an animal (a horse or a goat) looking at each other.

  39. 1. The place in the painting must be Vitebsk, the small Russian farming villagewhere Chagall was born into a large Jewish family. 2. A circle connects the two images. This could be an example of Chagall’s beliefin a strong connection between humans and animals. 3. In I and the Village, Chagall brings together fantasy and reality to show a loveof home and the natural world. 4. Chagall married Bella in 1915. 5. Chagall painted many images of them together, and these works clearly showthe feelings of romantic love and joy he felt for her. 6. Even after her death in 1944, Bella continued to inspire his work.

  40. The textbook passage says that the circle connecting the animal and the man inthe painting shows Chagall’s belief in a connection between humans andanimals. I believe that this is true. When you look at the painting closely, you willsee that there is also a line that goes between the man’s eyes and the animal’seyes. I think this is another example that Chagall believed that people andanimals are connected. It seems to me that Chagall wanted to say that all livingthings depend on each other. 3. Read the blog entries on pages 107 & 108. Underline the facts once and opinions twice.

  41. The title of the painting is I and the Village. I think the “I” from the title is the greenman in the painting. The textbook says that the man is probably Chagall himself.He’s wearing a schoolboy hat, so I think it’s Chagall when he was a boy. In myopinion, Chagall is showing that he will always remember the place where hegrew up. 4. Write your own blog entry about the painting. Make sure that you include at least one fact and two opinions.

  42. LISTENING KEY WORDS

  43. Critic (v): a person whose job is to say if art, music, and movies are good or bad Word Formation : Criticize (v) Collocations : music/ art critic Ex:Sheworks as a critic in SundayTimesandshewritesaboutpaintings.

  44. Sentimental(adj.): strongly showing emotions such as love and sadness Synonyms : emotional Ex:Chagall’spaintingsareseen as sentimantalpaintings. Ex:Thesongwasverysentimental. Everybodycriedwhilelisteningto it.

  45. Before You Listen • What is the purpose of art ? Check the opinions on page 108. • Read the quotations by famous artists. Which opinion from exercise 1 does each quotation support ?
