Unit3ThemillionPoundBank-Note

I．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。
