1Unit3TheMillionPoundBank-NoteI.教学内容分析本单元的主要内容是根据马克·吐温的名著《百万英镑》改编而成的剧本中的几个片断以及马克·吐温的生平简介。WarmingUp通过对马克·吐温及其作品的讨论引发学生学习兴趣,使学生对马克·吐温及其作品有个初步的了解。Pre-reading首先要求学生回答几个相关的问题,并让他们展开想象,借助讨论引入到《百万英镑》的情节。Reading部分是详细介绍富商兄弟俩打赌把一张百万英镑的钞票给一个一无所有、诚实可靠的穷人,想看看会发生什么事。最后他们物色到一个穷困潦倒、流落伦敦街头的美国小伙子HenryAdams。本部分可以通过先熟读后改编的形式,让学生登台表演,培养学生的调控能力和交际能力,然后再利用多种形式的练习让学生深入理解课文。LearningaboutLanguage部分突出了词汇和语法的学习与训练。本单元的语法是名词性从句中的宾语从句和表语从句的具体用法。UsingLanguage部分中包括了听、读、写三个部分的内容,是本单元主要篇章的延伸。学生通过感受百万英镑给亨利带来什么样的待遇而进一步理解作者诙谐讽刺的写作风格。该部分比较连贯,提出的一些问题有利于培养学生独立思考的能力和文学素养。其中写作部分是训练学生选取和组织材料的能力,通过前面的学习,结合独立的思考,写出形象鲜明且语言流畅的戏剧。LearningTip指导学生掌握对话的技巧,了解如何使用相应的语音和语调来编排戏剧,提高学生的写作水平。II.教学重点和难点1.教学重点(1)本单元教学目的和要求中的生词和短语;(2)掌握名词性从句中的宾语从句和表语从句的具体用法;(3)了解戏剧(剧本)语言的特点,如舞台说明(stagedirections)用一般现在时态,台词中有很多的省略句等。2.教学难点(1)了解《百万英镑》及其作者马克·吐温的时代背景,提高学生的文学修养和培养学生的跨文化意识;(2)学习语言交际中委婉请求、请求允许和点餐的表达法;(3)学习怎样去写或编一个短剧和更难的比较长的戏剧。III.教学计划本单元建议分六课时:第一、二课时:Pre-reading,Reading&Comprehending第三课时:UsingLanguage第四课时:LearningaboutLanguage第五、六课时:WorkbookIV.教学步骤:Period1&2Pre-reading,Reading&ComprehendingTeachingGoals:1.Totalkaboutshortstoriesandplays.2.TodevelopSs’readingskills.23.ToarouseSs’interestinactingoutaplayandwritingaplay.TeachingProcedures:Step1.Pre-readingPurpose:ToarouseSs’interestinlearningabouttheattitudesofdifferentpeople.1.ShowsomepicturesandencourageSstogetasmuchinformationaspossible.Thenaskthemtoanswerthefollowingquestions.(1)Whenyougetalargeamountofmoneytouseasyoulike,whatwillyoudowithit?Why?(2)Haveyouevermadeabetwithafriend?Ifso,whatdidyoubeton?(3)Howdidyoufeelaboutthebetafteritwaswonorlost?(4)Haveyoueverreadthestory“TheMillionPoundBank-Note”?(5)Haveyouseenthemovie?Ifso,whatdidyouthinkofit?2.GetSstotalkfreelywiththeirpartnersaboutthevalueanduseofmoney.Aftertalking,askSstopresenttheiropinionsinclass.ForYourReference:S1:I’llbuyabighouse,anewcarofmyownandgetmarriedtoabeautifulgirl.Inmyopinion,themostimportantthingforapersonistoenjoythelife.So,ifIhavealotofmoney,I’llmakefulluseofittomeetmyneedsforarichlife.S2:I’llgivesomemoneyoftheonemillionpoundtothepoorpeopleinthewesternpartofourcountrytohelpthemliveahappylife,especiallythechildren.Becausetheyreallyneedhelpandtheycanlearnmoreknowledgeinordertodevelopthewesternpartofourcountry.Thiswayofspendingmoneyismeaningful.S3:...Step2.Leading-inPurpose:TostimulateSs’interestinreadingthetext.AskSstothinkaboutthefollowingquestionsandtalkabouttheanswers.1.HowdidHenrygettheMillionPoundBank-Note?2.DoyouagreethatthemoneycanbringHenryhappiness?3.WhatwillHenrydowiththenote?4.Howmanycharactersarethereinthisscene?5.Whenandwheredidthestoryhappen?Step3.FastreadingPurpose:Togetthegistofthepassage.1.AskSstoreadthetextquicklyandtrytogetthemainideaofthetext.2.AskSstofinishthefollowingexercisesaccordingtothetext.(1)Whichistherightorderoftheeventsaccordingtothetext?①HenrywanderedinLondonstreets.②Aboutamonthago,HenryAdamswassailingoutofthebay.③Thenextmorninghewasspottedbyaship.④Towardsnightfallhefoundhimselfcarriedouttoseabyastrongwind.⑤Ontheshipheearnedhispassagebyworkingasanunpaidhand.A.①②③④⑤B.②③④⑤①C.②④③①⑤D.②④③⑤①3(2)What’stheservant’sname?A.RoderickB.HenryC.OliverD.James(3)WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutHenryisNOTtrue?A.HenrycomesfromtheUSA.B.HeworkedforaminingcompanyinAmerica.C.HearrivesinEnglandasplanned.D.HewantstofindworkinLondon.(4)WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOToneofthereasonswhythebrothersdecidetochooseHenry?A.HeisanAmerican.B.Hedoesn’thaveanymoney.C.Heisahard-workingman.D.Heishonest.(5)Whydidthenarratorsay“you’reabouttohearthemostincredibletale”?A.BecauseHenryAdamssurvivedatsea.B.BecauseHenryAdamsearnedhispassagebyworkingasanunpaidhand.C.BecauseRoderickandOliverinvitedHenrytostepinandaskedhimquestions.D.BecauseHenryAdams,atramp,wasgivensomemoneyforreasonsunknowntohim.(6)WhydidthetwobrothersgiveHenryAdamsanenvelope?A.TheywantedtoplayatrickonHenry.B.TheyhadapityonHenry.C.Theymadeabet.D.HenrywasnotanEnglishman.(7)HowdidHenryAdamsfeelwhenhegotanenvelopefromthebrothers?A.sadB.happyC.astonishedD.Hetookitforgranted.SuggestedAnswers:(1)D(2)D(3)C(4)C(5)D(6)C(7)CStep4.IntensivereadingPurpose:togetthestudentstolearnthedetailsofthetext.1.AskSstoreadthetextagainandfinishEx1ofComprehendingonP19.2.AskSstotalkinpairsandanswerthefollowingquestions.(1)HowdidHenryAdamscometoEngland?(2)WheredidHenryworkbefore?Howmuchdidhehave?(3)WhatdidthetwogentlemengiveHenry?(4)WhencanHenryopentheletter?SuggestedAnswers:(1)ItwastheshipthatbroughthimtoEngland.(2)Heworkedforaminingcompanybeforeandhehadnomoneyatall.(3)Theygavehimaletter.(4)Hecan’topenituntiltwoo’clock.3.AskSstoreadthetextverycarefullyandfinishthefollowingtable.TimeItisthe(1)__________of(2)_________.Place(3)_________________MaincharactersHenryAdams●Heisa/an(4)_____________________.●Heis(5)____________inLondon.●Hewantsto(6)__________________.4RoderickandOliver●Theyare(7)___________.●They(8)________Henrytotheirhouse.●TheyaskHenryafew(9)__________.●TheygiveHenryaletterwith(10)_______________init.EventThebrothersaremakinga(11)_________onHenry.SuggestedAnswers:(1)summer(2)1903(3)London(4)Americanbusinessman(5)lo
