《百万英镑》教学设计

第一篇：《百万英镑》教学设计

《百万英镑》阅读推荐课教学设计

设计意图：《百万英镑》是美国大作家马克·吐温的一部短篇小说，作者借主人公亨利·亚当斯的传奇经历，揭示了上个世纪美国社会唯利是图、金钱至上的拜金主义，对这种社会风气进行了深刻的挖掘、深度的讽刺。

这一课，我从伦敦的那对有钱兄弟的赌约入手，让学生猜猜看，这样一位有头脑、特诚实的外地人拿着一张百万英镑会有怎样的命运？接着转换到亚当斯在服装店的遭遇，让学生去体会伙计的笑和老板夸张的语言，在不脱离文本的基础上让学生大胆地去猜测、去想象，并在这个过程中进行阅读方法的指导“把简单的文字读丰富、把复杂的文字读精炼”。最后拓展延伸，介绍马克·吐温的其它短篇小说，介绍世界三大短篇小说巨匠及其小说。

教学目标：1.通过朗读，揣摩托德扭曲的笑、老板夸张的语言。2.激发学生阅读《百万英镑》的兴趣。

3.拓展延伸世界三大短篇小说巨匠，激发学生热爱读书的兴趣。教学重难点：激发学生热爱读书的兴趣。教学过程：

一、导入

1.头脑风暴，大胆猜想：假如一位有头脑、特诚实的外地人落难伦敦，他举目无亲，除了一张百万英镑的大钞以外一无所有，而且他还没法证明这张大钞就是他的——这样的一个人会有怎样的命运呢？

2.过渡：我喜欢你们的猜想，有想法，有思考，有理有据。这个问题可把伦敦的一对有钱的兄弟纠结坏了，哥哥说：“这个人肯定会饿死，因为他花不掉那张大钞。”弟弟说：“他饿不死，他会凭这张大钞过得很好。”于是他们决定拿出两万英镑来打这个赌。咱也来凑个热闹，你赌谁会赢？

3.那么让谁去做这个实验呢？于是兄弟两个在他们的豪宅里观察着每一个经过他们窗前的人，终于他们选中了一个再合适不过的人——亨利·亚当斯，因为他既聪明又老实，是个流浪汉，最最重要的是他是一个彻头彻尾的穷光蛋。4.你猜猜亚当斯拿着这张巨额钞票，在生活中有可能会遇到哪些状况？

二、走进金钱的魔力，感受托德的笑

1.所谓“佛靠金装，人靠衣装”嘛，亚当斯也想给自己换一身行头，毕竟也不差钱，是吧！于是他来到了一家名牌服装店。你想想站在门口迎宾的伙计看到这个破衣烂衫的家伙会做出怎样的反应？

2.当亚当斯掏出钞票的时候，伙计会怎么做？

过渡：你们都是作家，遗憾的是目前还没达到马克·吐温的高度，马克·吐温削去复杂的细枝末节，那些动作、语言统统不要，仅仅描写伙计的一张脸。

3.（出示文字）好好读读片段一，说说你看到了一张怎样的脸？细细地读，在关键处写写感想，你会有很多收获。

4.（出示维苏威火山）在现实生活中有这样一张脸吗？如果你是一位漫画家，你准备怎么画这张脸？

5.同学们，经过你们这一读一画，伙计的脸真是栩栩如生了。在读书的时候，我们可以在关键的地方停下来，加入想象，好好揣摩，把简单的文字读得更丰富。

三、走进金钱的魔力，练读老板的话 1.过渡：这真是“落魄顾客财气粗 百万英镑吓店员”但是一向见惯了大场面，财大气粗的服装店老板也会这么hold不住吗？去读读片段二。歌德曾经说过“聪明的人用两只眼睛读书，一只眼睛看纸面，另一只眼睛看纸的背面的含义。”看看你能不能读懂老板的话。

2.你从老板的话里读出了什么？你能不能试着读读老板的话？ 3.老板的话归纳总结一下其实很简单，“来，请您先脱掉原来的衣服，穿上这件衬衫，再穿上裤子，套上背心，再穿上大衣。”一句话的事儿，但是马克·吐温却让老板一开口就说了381个字，这么啰嗦干什么？ 4.一个怎样的老板在你眼前出现了？

5.同学们，读书的时候学会抽丝剥茧，你能把复杂的文字读得更精练。

四、设置悬念，介绍《百万英镑》 1.这张百万英镑毕竟不能花，如果老板知道亚当斯身无分文，你猜他会怎么说怎么做？ 2.那么，这个老板到底怎么做的呢？这个赌约最后怎么样了呢？亚当斯到底会有怎样的命运呢？如果你想知道答案，请你找来马克吐温的短篇小说《百万英镑》，亚当斯和他的匪夷所思的经历在书里等着你去探索。

五、拓展延伸

1.作者简介：马克·吐温，美国著名作家和演说家。他的小说创作极富盛名，他的作品批判了社会的不合理现象和人性的丑恶之处，风格多是幽默、讽刺。2.马克·吐温创作了大量的短篇小说，比如：《三万元遗产》《坏孩子的故事》《神秘的访问》《卡拉维拉斯县驰名的跳蛙》《被偷的白象》《傻瓜国外旅行记》《乞丐王子》，看看这些题目你最想读哪一篇？

过渡：老师真高兴你们这么能想，敢问。保持好奇心是阅读的好品质。

3.如果这些还不能满足你的求知欲，老师还想向大家推荐世界三大短篇小说巨匠。

莫泊桑：19世纪后半期法国优秀的批判现实主义作家，他的文学成就以短篇小说最为突出，被誉为“短篇小说之王”。代表作：《项链》《我的叔叔于勒》。契诃夫：19世纪末俄国伟大的批判现实主义作家，幽默讽刺大师。代表作：《变色龙》《小公务员之死》。欧·亨利：美国著名短篇小说家，一生创作了270多个短篇小说和一部长篇小说。代表作：《麦琪的礼物》《最后一片叶子》。

4.喜欢读书，就等于把生活中寂寞的辰光换成巨大享受的时刻——孟德斯鸠 希望咱们都能做一个爱书、读书、以读为乐的人，手捧书卷，享受生活。

教后反思：这学期开学伊始就确定了上阅读教研课，提前五六周开始设想。本来选定了萧红的《呼兰河传》，每个趁着学生睡觉的午后就开始阅读，读着读着觉得特别压抑、难受，萧红的遭遇太悲惨，笔调太灰暗，我害怕这课上成死气沉沉的一片，于是我开始动摇了。不得已我向庞老师和珊姐求教了几次，前辈说，“大胆地上。”于是乎„„我果断地换了课题，并且直到上课之前一直在不断地改教案。哎，这就是严重拖延症患者的病症。

上完课正好有一节课时间的空余，待我坐定，静静回忆课堂上的点点滴滴，发现问题真是蛮多。

首先，时间上我的把握出了一点问题，这可能是我的老毛病了。前半部分花的时间太多了，让学生说话一说就收不住，时间哗哗流淌，后面阅读的推荐显得太仓促，像是蜻蜓点水可能收效不会太大。

其次，在问题的设置上，我做得还不够精准。一开始导入的时候，那几个问题可能问得重复了，所以学生来来回回说的都是差不多的理解。

可能因为性格等各方面的原因，每次上这样的教研课我都是表面上看起来很淡定，但其实内心已经翻江倒海地紧张了。所以一开始的时候显得紧张，并且在板书这一块滞后了一个环节，最后时间不充裕的情况下又显得紧张兮兮的。

我总是很痛恨把相同的错误犯第二遍，但在教学上似乎不是犯一两遍的问题，可能我已经成“屡教不改”“明知故犯”了。教学这条路很长，要学习的东西很多，肩上的责任很重。希望在大家的监督、自我的监管、学生的注视下，我能改变，成长。教育这项事业，有人看着，不敢轻慢。

最后，感谢各位百忙之中抽出时间来听课的老师们、前辈们，感谢与我一起的孩子们！

第二篇：百万英镑.(节选)doc

《百万英镑》（节选）

时间：亨利经过30天的考验后

地点：英国伦敦，两位富翁兄弟的家中

人物：两兄弟（亚贝尔和他弟弟）

亨利（主人公，经历了30天磨难的人）

波蒂娅·朗姆（亨利的爱人）

【在亨利经历30天磨难后，两兄弟回来了，亨利和波蒂娅来到了他们家中，还是那个仆人把亨利领了进去，那两位老先生都在，看见有个尤物跟着我，他们很惊奇。】

亨利 这算不了什么，先生们；她是我日后的主心骨和帮手。先生们，我准备报告了。弟弟 我们很高兴听你的报告。这样我哥哥亚贝尔和我打的赌就能见分晓了。你如果让我赢了，就可以在我的职权范围内得到一个职位。你拿来那张一百万英镑的钞票了吗？”

亨利（把钱交给了他）在这儿，先生。

弟弟（欣喜若狂的喊了起来）我赢了！哥哥，如今你还有什么可说的？

亚贝尔（有点不相信）我只好说，他真活下来了，我输了两万英镑。我真不敢相信。亨利 还有一事禀报，这可就说来话长了。我请你们允许我再来一趟，详详细细地说说我这一个月的经历，我保证这值得一听。还有，瞧瞧这个。

弟弟（万分吃惊，怀疑）什么，好家伙！二十万英镑的存单。难道这是你的不成？” 亨利（稍有些得意）是我的。我在三十天之内活用了阁下那笔小小的贷款，赚了这笔钱。至于这大钞本身，我只靠它买过小吃，付账让他们找零钱的时候用。

亚贝尔嗬，这太了不起了，简直是匪夷所思，小伙子！

亨利没问题，我全都有根有据。别以为我说的都是天方夜谭。

波蒂娅（大吃一惊）亨利，这真是你的钱吗？这些天你一直瞒着我？

亨利我确实瞒着你呢，亲爱的。不过，我想你会原谅我。

波蒂娅（她噘起上嘴唇）别太肯定哦。你这个淘气鬼，敢这么骗我！

亨利啊，一会儿就过去了，心肝儿，一会儿就过去了；你明白吗，就是为了好玩。好了，咱们接着说吧。

弟弟且慢，且慢！还有，那个职位呢。我得给你那个职位。

亨利好吧，我不胜感激，不过，我真是用不着再找那份差事啦。

弟弟在我的职权范围之内，你可以选一个顶好的职位。

亨利（推辞道）谢谢，谢谢，我衷心感谢。不过，再好的职位我也不想要啦。波蒂娅 亨利，我都替你不好意思了。别辜负了这位好先生的美意，要我替你来表示谢意吗？

亨利当然可以啦，亲爱的，只要你能做得更出色。看你的啦。

她走到我的那位先生跟前，倚到他怀里，拿起他的胳膊搂住自己的脖子，对着他的嘴唇照直亲了起来。那两位先生哈哈大笑，我却不知所措，简直是傻了。

波蒂娅 爸爸，他说在您的职权范围内没有他想要的职位，我真伤心，就好像—— 亨利（疑惑）我的宝贝，他是你爸爸

对，他是我的继父，是全世界有史以来最好的。在公使家里时你还不知道我的家世，当时你告诉我，我爸爸和亚贝尔伯伯的花样让你多么烦恼，多么担心；现在你明白我当时为什么笑了吧。

【这样一来，亨利自然实话实说，不再闹着玩了；他直奔主题】

亨利噢，最亲爱的先生，我想把刚才说的话收回来。您确实有个待聘的职位，我想应聘。

亚贝尔 说说是哪一个职位。

亨利（脸红的说道）女婿。

弟弟（哈哈大笑）哈，哈，哈！可是你知道，你既然没干过这份差事，显然你也不具备满足我们约定条件所需的长处，所以——

亨利让我试试——啊，一定让我试试，我求您了！只要让我试三四十年就行，假如——

弟弟噢，好，好吧；这也不是什么大不了的要求，带她走好了。

【 亨利和波蒂娅兴奋不已，翻遍了全本的词典也凑不够词来形容啊。一两天之后，当伦敦人得知我和百万大钞一个月里的奇遇记始末以后，他们是不是兴致勃勃大聊了一通呢？正是如此。

波蒂姬的爸爸把那张肯帮忙而且好客的大钞送回英格兰银行兑了现；银行随后注销那张钞票并作为礼物赠给了亨利；他又把钞票在婚礼上送给了亨利。从那以后，那张大钞镶了镜框，一直挂在亨利家最神圣的位置上。是它给亨利送来了波蒂娜。要不是有了它，亨利哪能留在伦敦，哪能到公使家做客呢，更不要说遇上波蒂娅了。所以亨利总是说，“不错，您没看走眼，这是一百万英镑；可这东西自从出世以来只用了一次，就再没花过；后来，他只出了大约十分之一的价钱，就把这东西弄到手了。”】

第四篇：百万英镑读后感

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.

(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.)（在餐馆外边，亨利看了看信封，没有打开，然后决定走进餐馆。他在靠近前边窗户的一张桌子旁坐了下来）

OWNER:(seeing Henry's poor appearance)That one's reserved.This way, please.(to the waiter)Take this gentleman's order, Horace.店主：（看看亨利的那副穷酸相）那张桌子有人订了。请到这边来。（对服务员）霍勒斯，来等这位先生点菜。
