第一篇：《百萬英鎊》教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)

《百萬英鎊》閱讀推薦課教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)

設(shè)計(jì)意圖：《百萬英鎊》是美國大作家馬克·吐溫的一部短篇小說，作者借主人公亨利·亞當(dāng)斯的傳奇經(jīng)歷，揭示了上個(gè)世紀(jì)美國社會唯利是圖、金錢至上的拜金主義，對這種社會風(fēng)氣進(jìn)行了深刻的挖掘、深度的諷刺。

這一課，我從倫敦的那對有錢兄弟的賭約入手，讓學(xué)生猜猜看，這樣一位有頭腦、特誠實(shí)的外地人拿著一張百萬英鎊會有怎樣的命運(yùn)？接著轉(zhuǎn)換到亞當(dāng)斯在服裝店的遭遇，讓學(xué)生去體會伙計(jì)的笑和老板夸張的語言，在不脫離文本的基礎(chǔ)上讓學(xué)生大膽地去猜測、去想象，并在這個(gè)過程中進(jìn)行閱讀方法的指導(dǎo)“把簡單的文字讀豐富、把復(fù)雜的文字讀精煉”。最后拓展延伸，介紹馬克·吐溫的其它短篇小說，介紹世界三大短篇小說巨匠及其小說。

教學(xué)目標(biāo)：1.通過朗讀，揣摩托德扭曲的笑、老板夸張的語言。2.激發(fā)學(xué)生閱讀《百萬英鎊》的興趣。

3.拓展延伸世界三大短篇小說巨匠，激發(fā)學(xué)生熱愛讀書的興趣。教學(xué)重難點(diǎn)：激發(fā)學(xué)生熱愛讀書的興趣。教學(xué)過程：

一、導(dǎo)入

1.頭腦風(fēng)暴，大膽猜想：假如一位有頭腦、特誠實(shí)的外地人落難倫敦，他舉目無親，除了一張百萬英鎊的大鈔以外一無所有，而且他還沒法證明這張大鈔就是他的——這樣的一個(gè)人會有怎樣的命運(yùn)呢？

2.過渡：我喜歡你們的猜想，有想法，有思考，有理有據(jù)。這個(gè)問題可把倫敦的一對有錢的兄弟糾結(jié)壞了，哥哥說：“這個(gè)人肯定會餓死，因?yàn)樗ú坏裟菑埓筲n?！钡艿苷f：“他餓不死，他會憑這張大鈔過得很好?！庇谑撬麄儧Q定拿出兩萬英鎊來打這個(gè)賭。咱也來湊個(gè)熱鬧，你賭誰會贏？

3.那么讓誰去做這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)?zāi)?？于是兄弟兩個(gè)在他們的豪宅里觀察著每一個(gè)經(jīng)過他們窗前的人，終于他們選中了一個(gè)再合適不過的人——亨利·亞當(dāng)斯，因?yàn)樗嚷斆饔掷蠈?shí)，是個(gè)流浪漢，最最重要的是他是一個(gè)徹頭徹尾的窮光蛋。4.你猜猜亞當(dāng)斯拿著這張巨額鈔票，在生活中有可能會遇到哪些狀況？

二、走進(jìn)金錢的魔力，感受托德的笑

1.所謂“佛靠金裝，人靠衣裝”嘛，亞當(dāng)斯也想給自己換一身行頭，畢竟也不差錢，是吧！于是他來到了一家名牌服裝店。你想想站在門口迎賓的伙計(jì)看到這個(gè)破衣爛衫的家伙會做出怎樣的反應(yīng)？

2.當(dāng)亞當(dāng)斯掏出鈔票的時(shí)候，伙計(jì)會怎么做？

過渡：你們都是作家，遺憾的是目前還沒達(dá)到馬克·吐溫的高度，馬克·吐溫削去復(fù)雜的細(xì)枝末節(jié)，那些動作、語言統(tǒng)統(tǒng)不要，僅僅描寫伙計(jì)的一張臉。

3.（出示文字）好好讀讀片段一，說說你看到了一張?jiān)鯓拥哪槪考?xì)細(xì)地讀，在關(guān)鍵處寫寫感想，你會有很多收獲。

4.（出示維蘇威火山）在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中有這樣一張臉嗎？如果你是一位漫畫家，你準(zhǔn)備怎么畫這張臉？

5.同學(xué)們，經(jīng)過你們這一讀一畫，伙計(jì)的臉真是栩栩如生了。在讀書的時(shí)候，我們可以在關(guān)鍵的地方停下來，加入想象，好好揣摩，把簡單的文字讀得更豐富。

三、走進(jìn)金錢的魔力，練讀老板的話 1.過渡：這真是“落魄顧客財(cái)氣粗 百萬英鎊嚇店員”但是一向見慣了大場面，財(cái)大氣粗的服裝店老板也會這么hold不住嗎？去讀讀片段二。歌德曾經(jīng)說過“聰明的人用兩只眼睛讀書，一只眼睛看紙面，另一只眼睛看紙的背面的含義?！笨纯茨隳懿荒茏x懂老板的話。

2.你從老板的話里讀出了什么？你能不能試著讀讀老板的話？ 3.老板的話歸納總結(jié)一下其實(shí)很簡單，“來，請您先脫掉原來的衣服，穿上這件襯衫，再穿上褲子，套上背心，再穿上大衣?！币痪湓挼氖聝?，但是馬克·吐溫卻讓老板一開口就說了381個(gè)字，這么啰嗦干什么？ 4.一個(gè)怎樣的老板在你眼前出現(xiàn)了？

5.同學(xué)們，讀書的時(shí)候?qū)W會抽絲剝繭，你能把復(fù)雜的文字讀得更精練。

四、設(shè)置懸念，介紹《百萬英鎊》 1.這張百萬英鎊畢竟不能花，如果老板知道亞當(dāng)斯身無分文，你猜他會怎么說怎么做？ 2.那么，這個(gè)老板到底怎么做的呢？這個(gè)賭約最后怎么樣了呢？亞當(dāng)斯到底會有怎樣的命運(yùn)呢？如果你想知道答案，請你找來馬克吐溫的短篇小說《百萬英鎊》，亞當(dāng)斯和他的匪夷所思的經(jīng)歷在書里等著你去探索。

五、拓展延伸

1.作者簡介：馬克·吐溫，美國著名作家和演說家。他的小說創(chuàng)作極富盛名，他的作品批判了社會的不合理現(xiàn)象和人性的丑惡之處，風(fēng)格多是幽默、諷刺。2.馬克·吐溫創(chuàng)作了大量的短篇小說，比如：《三萬元遺產(chǎn)》《壞孩子的故事》《神秘的訪問》《卡拉維拉斯縣馳名的跳蛙》《被偷的白象》《傻瓜國外旅行記》《乞丐王子》，看看這些題目你最想讀哪一篇？

過渡：老師真高興你們這么能想，敢問。保持好奇心是閱讀的好品質(zhì)。

3.如果這些還不能滿足你的求知欲，老師還想向大家推薦世界三大短篇小說巨匠。

莫泊桑：19世紀(jì)后半期法國優(yōu)秀的批判現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家，他的文學(xué)成就以短篇小說最為突出，被譽(yù)為“短篇小說之王”。代表作：《項(xiàng)鏈》《我的叔叔于勒》。契訶夫：19世紀(jì)末俄國偉大的批判現(xiàn)實(shí)主義作家，幽默諷刺大師。代表作：《變色龍》《小公務(wù)員之死》。歐·亨利：美國著名短篇小說家，一生創(chuàng)作了270多個(gè)短篇小說和一部長篇小說。代表作：《麥琪的禮物》《最后一片葉子》。

4.喜歡讀書，就等于把生活中寂寞的辰光換成巨大享受的時(shí)刻——孟德斯鳩 希望咱們都能做一個(gè)愛書、讀書、以讀為樂的人，手捧書卷，享受生活。

教后反思：這學(xué)期開學(xué)伊始就確定了上閱讀教研課，提前五六周開始設(shè)想。本來選定了蕭紅的《呼蘭河傳》，每個(gè)趁著學(xué)生睡覺的午后就開始閱讀，讀著讀著覺得特別壓抑、難受，蕭紅的遭遇太悲慘，筆調(diào)太灰暗，我害怕這課上成死氣沉沉的一片，于是我開始動搖了。不得已我向龐老師和珊姐求教了幾次，前輩說，“大膽地上?！庇谑呛??我果斷地?fù)Q了課題，并且直到上課之前一直在不斷地改教案。哎，這就是嚴(yán)重拖延癥患者的病癥。

上完課正好有一節(jié)課時(shí)間的空余，待我坐定，靜靜回憶課堂上的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，發(fā)現(xiàn)問題真是蠻多。

首先，時(shí)間上我的把握出了一點(diǎn)問題，這可能是我的老毛病了。前半部分花的時(shí)間太多了，讓學(xué)生說話一說就收不住，時(shí)間嘩嘩流淌，后面閱讀的推薦顯得太倉促，像是蜻蜓點(diǎn)水可能收效不會太大。

其次，在問題的設(shè)置上，我做得還不夠精準(zhǔn)。一開始導(dǎo)入的時(shí)候，那幾個(gè)問題可能問得重復(fù)了，所以學(xué)生來來回回說的都是差不多的理解。

可能因?yàn)樾愿竦雀鞣矫娴脑?，每次上這樣的教研課我都是表面上看起來很淡定，但其實(shí)內(nèi)心已經(jīng)翻江倒海地緊張了。所以一開始的時(shí)候顯得緊張，并且在板書這一塊滯后了一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)，最后時(shí)間不充裕的情況下又顯得緊張兮兮的。

我總是很痛恨把相同的錯(cuò)誤犯第二遍，但在教學(xué)上似乎不是犯一兩遍的問題，可能我已經(jīng)成“屢教不改”“明知故犯”了。教學(xué)這條路很長，要學(xué)習(xí)的東西很多，肩上的責(zé)任很重。希望在大家的監(jiān)督、自我的監(jiān)管、學(xué)生的注視下，我能改變，成長。教育這項(xiàng)事業(yè)，有人看著，不敢輕慢。

最后，感謝各位百忙之中抽出時(shí)間來聽課的老師們、前輩們，感謝與我一起的孩子們！

第二篇：百萬英鎊.(節(jié)選)doc

《百萬英鎊》（節(jié)選）

時(shí)間：亨利經(jīng)過30天的考驗(yàn)后

地點(diǎn)：英國倫敦，兩位富翁兄弟的家中

人物：兩兄弟（亞貝爾和他弟弟）

亨利（主人公，經(jīng)歷了30天磨難的人）

波蒂婭·朗姆（亨利的愛人）

【在亨利經(jīng)歷30天磨難后，兩兄弟回來了，亨利和波蒂婭來到了他們家中，還是那個(gè)仆人把亨利領(lǐng)了進(jìn)去，那兩位老先生都在，看見有個(gè)尤物跟著我，他們很驚奇?！?/p>

亨利 這算不了什么，先生們；她是我日后的主心骨和幫手。先生們，我準(zhǔn)備報(bào)告了。弟弟 我們很高興聽你的報(bào)告。這樣我哥哥亞貝爾和我打的賭就能見分曉了。你如果讓我贏了，就可以在我的職權(quán)范圍內(nèi)得到一個(gè)職位。你拿來那張一百萬英鎊的鈔票了嗎？”

亨利（把錢交給了他）在這兒，先生。

弟弟（欣喜若狂的喊了起來）我贏了！哥哥，如今你還有什么可說的？

亞貝爾（有點(diǎn)不相信）我只好說，他真活下來了，我輸了兩萬英鎊。我真不敢相信。亨利 還有一事稟報(bào)，這可就說來話長了。我請你們允許我再來一趟，詳詳細(xì)細(xì)地說說我這一個(gè)月的經(jīng)歷，我保證這值得一聽。還有，瞧瞧這個(gè)。

弟弟（萬分吃驚，懷疑）什么，好家伙！二十萬英鎊的存單。難道這是你的不成？” 亨利（稍有些得意）是我的。我在三十天之內(nèi)活用了閣下那筆小小的貸款，賺了這筆錢。至于這大鈔本身，我只靠它買過小吃，付賬讓他們找零錢的時(shí)候用。

亞貝爾嗬，這太了不起了，簡直是匪夷所思，小伙子！

亨利沒問題，我全都有根有據(jù)。別以為我說的都是天方夜譚。

波蒂婭（大吃一驚）亨利，這真是你的錢嗎？這些天你一直瞞著我？

亨利我確實(shí)瞞著你呢，親愛的。不過，我想你會原諒我。

波蒂婭（她噘起上嘴唇）別太肯定哦。你這個(gè)淘氣鬼，敢這么騙我！

亨利啊，一會兒就過去了，心肝兒，一會兒就過去了；你明白嗎，就是為了好玩。好了，咱們接著說吧。

弟弟且慢，且慢！還有，那個(gè)職位呢。我得給你那個(gè)職位。

亨利好吧，我不勝感激，不過，我真是用不著再找那份差事啦。

弟弟在我的職權(quán)范圍之內(nèi)，你可以選一個(gè)頂好的職位。

亨利（推辭道）謝謝，謝謝，我衷心感謝。不過，再好的職位我也不想要啦。波蒂婭 亨利，我都替你不好意思了。別辜負(fù)了這位好先生的美意，要我替你來表示謝意嗎？

亨利當(dāng)然可以啦，親愛的，只要你能做得更出色。看你的啦。

她走到我的那位先生跟前，倚到他懷里，拿起他的胳膊摟住自己的脖子，對著他的嘴唇照直親了起來。那兩位先生哈哈大笑，我卻不知所措，簡直是傻了。

波蒂婭 爸爸，他說在您的職權(quán)范圍內(nèi)沒有他想要的職位，我真?zhèn)?，就好像—?亨利（疑惑）我的寶貝，他是你爸爸

對，他是我的繼父，是全世界有史以來最好的。在公使家里時(shí)你還不知道我的家世，當(dāng)時(shí)你告訴我，我爸爸和亞貝爾伯伯的花樣讓你多么煩惱，多么擔(dān)心；現(xiàn)在你明白我當(dāng)時(shí)為什么笑了吧。

【這樣一來，亨利自然實(shí)話實(shí)說，不再鬧著玩了；他直奔主題】

亨利噢，最親愛的先生，我想把剛才說的話收回來。您確實(shí)有個(gè)待聘的職位，我想應(yīng)聘。

亞貝爾 說說是哪一個(gè)職位。

亨利（臉紅的說道）女婿。

弟弟（哈哈大笑）哈，哈，哈！可是你知道，你既然沒干過這份差事，顯然你也不具備滿足我們約定條件所需的長處，所以——

亨利讓我試試——啊，一定讓我試試，我求您了！只要讓我試三四十年就行，假如——

弟弟噢，好，好吧；這也不是什么大不了的要求，帶她走好了。

【 亨利和波蒂婭興奮不已，翻遍了全本的詞典也湊不夠詞來形容啊。一兩天之后，當(dāng)倫敦人得知我和百萬大鈔一個(gè)月里的奇遇記始末以后，他們是不是興致勃勃大聊了一通呢？正是如此。

波蒂姬的爸爸把那張肯幫忙而且好客的大鈔送回英格蘭銀行兌了現(xiàn)；銀行隨后注銷那張鈔票并作為禮物贈給了亨利；他又把鈔票在婚禮上送給了亨利。從那以后，那張大鈔鑲了鏡框，一直掛在亨利家最神圣的位置上。是它給亨利送來了波蒂娜。要不是有了它，亨利哪能留在倫敦，哪能到公使家做客呢，更不要說遇上波蒂婭了。所以亨利總是說，“不錯(cuò)，您沒看走眼，這是一百萬英鎊；可這東西自從出世以來只用了一次，就再沒花過；后來，他只出了大約十分之一的價(jià)錢，就把這東西弄到手了。”】

第四篇：百萬英鎊讀后感

The Million Pound Note

Written by mark twain, the million pound note tells about a notion that money is superior to everything and I thought that it also showed reliance need to be strengthened in this modern society.In the story, a poor but honest man accidentally received a million pounds from a pair of brothers who had made a bet that if a poor but honest man would have one million pounds what the end he would get.One hold the view that he would starve to death because he would not prove the pounds to public that money is his and the bank would not help him.On the contrary, the little brother insisted that the young man would live a good life with one million pounds.Then the young man began his ridiculous but comfortable, rich life.As a result, he safely had a good life and gained a romantic love.It sounds ridiculous in the real life, as no one would give one strange such a large number of money securely.So I think the pair of brothers believed in the young man and the young man kept his promise at the end.Nowadays, the confidence and trust between person and person are feeble.We had a survey about confidence and trust in the street.We gave some people bottles of water in the street.Different people have different reflect.Old people and children would receive water in a pleased smile.Young adult would say in a appreciated tone and rejected accepting it.They must think we have something poisonous into the water and they would be cheated.It showed that the relationship between people have become more and more feeble.As the development of society and economy, walls of hearts have become thicker.Brothers and the honest man set a good example for us.It is no delay to rebuild the good faith system.When the young man came to a small tailor-shop, he asked if they had a misfit suit that had been thrown on their hands.The fellow he spoke to nodded his head towards another fellow, and gave him no answer.he went to the indicated fellow, and he indicated another fellow with his head, and no words.he went to the fellow, and he said:“ 'Tend to you presently.” The young man waited till he was done with what he was at, then he took the man into a back room, and overhauled a pile of rejected suits, and selected the rattiest one for him.so he didn't find any fault on the new clothes, but said, with some diffidence:“ It would be an accommodation to me if you could wait some days for the money.I haven't any small change about me.” The fellow worked up a most sarcastic expression of countenance, and said: “Oh, you haven't? Well, of course, I didn't expect it.I'd only expect gentlemen like you to carry large change.” It shows that almost everyone in the society thinks highly of appearance at the first sight.Although the appearance is not the decisive element in doing something but at least it can help us leave a good impression on others.There are many funny scene in the story.the young man gave them a cheque for charge ,the fellow guy received it with a smile, one of those large smiles which goes all around over, and has folds in it, and wrinkles, and spirals, and looks like the place where you have thrown a brick in a pond;and then in the act of his taking a glimpse of the bill this smile froze solid, and turned yellow, and looked like those wavy, wormy spreads of lava which you find hardened on little levels on the side of Vesuvius.I never before saw a smile caught like that, and perpetuated.We found it humorous to imagine the fellow’s expression, from large smile to shock with a mouth open.Then the boss asked the young man to try the fashion clothes in his shop, and bring him so many good clothes and told him when he paid for them depends on him.a notion that money is superior to everything is obviously revealed in this.A poor man can be treated as a royal because of a piece of irredeemable cheque.Besides, in the bobbs hotel, the manager drove off the real royal and made a new decoration in that luxurious bedroom for the man who owned a 500million pounds in cheque.But when the cheque was lost, everyone doubled whether the young man had had the million cheque, and the managers who allowed him to pay his bill whenever he wanted began asking him to pay his huge bill.It is so realistic.Money was over everything in the world except in this modern society.Only through demonstrating money can we have our states in this money-oriented society.It has become a trend to through money to show our state.In the end the little brother won the bet.Not only did the young man have a good life during 30days, but get a beautiful wife and have much more money.The Million Pound Note is worth to read.

必修三Unit3 THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE百萬英鎊: Act I, Scene 4第一幕，第4場

(Outside a restaurant Henry looks at the envelope without opening it and decides to go in.He sits down at a table next to the front window.)（在餐館外邊，亨利看了看信封，沒有打開，然后決定走進(jìn)餐館。他在靠近前邊窗戶的一張桌子旁坐了下來）

OWNER:(seeing Henry's poor appearance)That one's reserved.This way, please.(to the waiter)Take this gentleman's order, Horace.店主：（看看亨利的那副窮酸相）那張桌子有人訂了。請到這邊來。（對服務(wù)員）霍勒斯，來等這位先生點(diǎn)菜。
