This is a great activity, thanks!

It just needs to actually have the transcript of the reading.

For anyone interested, here’s the actual transcript:

“It was the sound of metal rubbing against metal, and it seemed to come nearer to his bedroom door each minute. Mr. Otis lit a candle and looked that at the clock on the table next to his bed. It was exactly 1 o’clock. Mr. Otis was quite calm, he immediately got out of bed, took a small bottle out of his case and opened the bedroom door. He saw a terrible old man facing him in the pale moonlight. Heavy, rusty chains hung from his arms and legs. “My dear sir!” Said Mr. Otis. “You really must put some oil on those rusty chains, for that purpose I’m giving you a small bottle of <>” Mr. Otis put the bottle down on a small table. “I’ll leave it here for you” he said, “I’ll be happy to give you more if you need it.” Then he went back to his bed. For a moment the Canterville ghost did not move, he was shocked and angry. Then he knocked the bottle of oil violently onto the floor and hurried away down the passage. A strange green light shone out of his body and he screamed a deep and terrible cry into the night. When he reached his secret room in the western part of the house, the ghost sat down in the moonlight and tried to think. He could not believe what had just happened. He had never been so insulted in all his 300 years of excellent and famous haunting. To make himself feel better, he remembered some of his finest performances. “There was Lord Canterville’s aunt” He said to himself. “I put my skeleton hands on her shoulders and almost frightened her to death. That was wonderful. And there was the manservant. He shot himself after he saw a green hand knocking on the window. Then there was the beautiful Lady Studfield. She had to wear a black cloth around her neck to hide the mark of five skeleton fingers burned into her white skin.” The Canterville ghost smiled to himself, but his smile quickly disappeared. “And now, now some terrible Americans come and offer me a Rising Sun oil!””

It is a very well planned exercise,I’ll use it when reading the Canterville Ghost and will try and use some of the ideas for a film I’m working on.
Thank you for sharing it.
