整體設計教材分析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.
