Unit3 Reading 教学设计（一）
Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note
Reading: The Million Pound Bank Note
设计意图
This play is adapted from Mark Twain’s short story —The Million Pound Bank Note. Like most of Mark Twain’s stories，it is meant to be humorous. This is a rags-to-riches story but with a new twist : the main character is actually doing quite well for himself before his accident at sea.
Warming Up introduces questions which allow students to brush up their knowledge and arouse their interest. Pre-reading raises three questions and acts as a way of brainstorming: Suppose a rich person gives you a million pound bank note, what will you do with it? Give the reasons. It presents students with an important choice. For some students, knowing what they would do with the money is easy to decide. For others, it may pose a re
al dilemma, especially if they feel obliged to help others with the money. Whatever choice they make here, they should be ready to offer their classmates a good reason for it.
Reading is a script excerpt —the first act of the third scene. The merchant brothers’ betting plan generates suspense. With the development of the drama, students can feel and learn drama language. At the same time by listening， reading and acting， students can improve their pronunciation and intonation.
