教材分析
This is the first teaching period of this unit. At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by having a free talk with students about the background knowledge, talking about Mark Twain and his play.
Mark Twain is probably one of the few American writers with whom students are already familiar. The Warming Up is intended to discover just how much students know about this 19th century writer and let those who don ,t know about him know about him before they read the play. The teacher can use this part to introduce information that Chinese students should have.
Exercise 1 in the Pre -reading provides students with an important choice. For some, knowing what they would do with the money is easy to decide. For others, it may pose a real dilemma, especially if they feel obligated to help others with the money. Whatever choice students make here, they should be ready to offer their classmates a good reason for it. Exercise 2 is to check whether students have read the story or have seen the film and for students to be ready for the next part Reading.
The reading passage is a play which is adapted from Mark Twain ,s short story by the same title. It briefly describes that Henry, a San Francisco businessman, is rescued at sea by a British ship that takes him to London where he finds himself without money, friends, or the prospect of a good job. Hungry and alone, he walks along the streets of the city when unexpectedly he is summoned to a mansion. Two rich brothers, Roderick and Oliver, have made a secret bet. Roderick believes that a man cannot survive in the city for a month with only a million pound bank note in his possession but Oliver believes he can. The play takes us along on Henry ,s misadventures with humor and surprise to discover who will win the bet.
Students are encouraged to preview the text and find out the new words and structures themselves. They should try to work out the meaning of the new words through the context. Then if necessary, they can look them up in the dictionary or turn to the teacher for help.
Plays will enable students to read and hear natural language in a dramatic context. Just as importantly, reading and acting plays aloud will increase students , self -confidence in using
English, which in turn will increase their overall motivation to learn English. Through their active participation in reading characters , parts in a play, students relive what others have said. When reading a play aloud, students not only speak to the teacher but directly to their classmates. This oral interaction can contribute to greater class cooperation, especially if reading the play results in trying to act it out. In doing so, students can learn how to interpret language through the tone of voice and body language, gaining a greater appreciation of the various verbal and non -verbal ways in which language works. Therefore, provide students with the opportunity to interpret language by acting out a few scenes of the play.
To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to give a brief introduction to the story The Million Pound Bank Note in their own words and act out Scene 3 of this play with their group members at the end of the class. In order to arouse students , interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups.
