《普通高中课程标准实验教科书 英语必修3》（人教版）
根据新课标英语人教版（必修3）第三单元The Million Pound Bank-Note 的教材内容。从本单元话题内容和功能上分析，我将Warming up ,Pre-reading and reading三部分整合为本单元的第一节课，是一节任务型阅读课。下面我就从六方面谈本课的教学设想及相关的理论依据。
一、教材分析
（一） 本课的地位及作用
这篇戏剧就是从马克吐温的同名短篇小说《百万富翁》改编过来的。它是新课标 人教版 必修的5本书中的第一也是唯一一篇戏剧文。
阅读部分是剧本中第一幕的第三场，学生可以通过戏剧情节的发展，了解、感受戏剧的语言，感悟跨文化的语言瑰宝。同时还可以利用剧本的朗读和表演帮助学生改进语音、语调，激发他们学习英语的动力。这个戏剧是学生了解英语戏剧剧本的开始。
（二） 本课的重点和难点
重点：第一，了解作者的背景知识和伟大成就。第二，了解戏剧文学形式的特点并感受地道的英语，掌握对话中委婉交际用语。第三，讨论: Is money everything 通过讨论金钱是否代表一切，帮助学生树立正确的金钱观。
难点：如何根据人物对话，探究人物性格特征
二、教学目标分析
理论依据：高中英语新课标提出英语课程的学习是学生通过英语学习和实践活动，进一步掌握英语知识和技能，提高语言实际运用能力；形成跨文化交际的意识和基本的跨文化交际能力；形成健全的情感、态度、价值观，为未来发展和终身学习奠定良好的基础。
1． 语言知识目标：
（1）了解作者的有关信息和伟大成就。
（2）熟练掌握本文中的常用词汇、短语和交际中委婉请求的表达。
2.能力目标
（1）通过朗读和表演，提高他们运用语言的能力
（2）培养学生筛选局部和整体信息的能力及独立阅读的能力
3.情感目标
1）通过师生互动，生生互动，调动学生的学习兴趣，加强教师的亲和力，增进彼此的了解与沟通，充分发挥情感教学的优势。
2）鼓励学生在共同完成一些交流、表演等任务的过程中，加强团体协作意识。
3）培养学生树立正确的金钱观。
三、教法、学法分析
课堂教学方法的选择是课堂教学效率高低的关键。科学的学法指导是智能发展目标得以实施的重要途径。在本课教学中从以下几方面体现了英语新课程的理念：
1、以“任务型”教学作为课堂教学设计之理念，具体采用情景交际教学法。学生通过阅读，听说、表演等各种语言形式来学习和掌握语言，实现目标，感受成功。
2、英语教学和情感教育的有机结合。在本节课中，教师除了营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学气氛，给予学生展示成功的平台外，处处鼓励学生运用自主学习、合作学习和探究学习等新的学习方式，以形成积极的学习态度，促进语言实际运用能力的提高。这是实施新课程最为核心和关键的环节。
3、利用现代教育技术，拓宽学生学习和运用英语的渠道。运用多媒体辅助教学，充分利用听觉和视觉手段，丰富教学内容和形式，进而达到启发学生的英语思维，发展交际能力的理想教学效果。
四、学情分析和教学过程分析
根据《高中英语新课程标准》要求，结合我班学生英语基础整体较弱，学生英语水平参差不齐的实际，本课时我把阅读课文作为整体处理的同时，把每个教学环节所设计的问题和任务区分出高低不同的层次，由浅入深，循序渐进，使每个教学环节尽量符合多数学生的认知水平，力争全班绝大多数同学都能积极参与课堂活动。
教学过程设计：
Step 1. Warming-up
Step 2. Pre-reading
Step 3. Reading
Step4.post-reading
Step 5. Summary and homework
Step 1. warming up
1）在”热身”（warming up）部分，鼓励学生说出他们所了解的有关马克.吐温的信息。
2）阅读Using Language 中的Reading “About Mark Twain”。填写下面的表格。
Real name of Mark Twain: Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Year of birth: 1835
Places where he lived: Raised in Hannibal, Missouri; lived for a long time in Europe
Names of three of his famous stories: The Adventures of Tom SawyerThe Adventures of Huckleberry FinnLife on the Mississippi
