Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank NoteTeaching Plan for Reading设计人：邹胡琴The analysis of the teaching content. The reading passage is a play which is adapted from Mark Twains 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 Henrys misadventures with humor and surprise to discover who will win the bet. 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.Teaching important points 1.
