Leon Plan: Unit 3-The Million Pound Bank Note
Good morning/afternoon everyone! I am Angel.The leon plan that I am going to present today is from Module 3, the first leon of Unit 3, The Million Pound Bank Note.My presentation contains 6 six parts.
The Part 1 is Analyzing Teaching Materials.
This unit is a play adapted from a short story by the famous American author .There are 2 scenes together with many comprehension and language exercises in this unit.Although there are not many difficult words, this unit introduces lots of useful expreions, like making requests in a formal way and how to order food in a restaurant.Also, new grammar items like noun clauses as the object and noun clauses as the predicative are part of the miion.Therefore, it’s about to take 6 periods to finish all the content.My leon today will cover the first period, which focuses on the Reading part: Act 1, Scene 3.
For the first leon, my Teaching Aims are:
Knowledge Aims:Ss will learn something about Mark Twain and some features of a play
Ss will understand the general ideas of the Scene 3 and be familiar with the
main characters
Ability Aims:Ss will know some useful new words and expreions
Ss will discover some new sentence structures, which will be elaborated on in the
following leons
Emotional Aims:Ss can sense the humor in the play
Arouse Ss’ interests to the development of the story
Part 3 Teaching Methods
I will adopt the task-based language teaching for the whole unit, making best uses of the context in the play to have Ss acquire the language through meaningful and purposeful tasks, like retelling the story in their own words and role-play.As there are PowerPoint and video clips to be show, I will need the overhead projector as my teaching aid.

Part 5 Teaching Procedure
Step1:Warm-up (5 minutes)
In order to draw Ss’ attention to today’s topic, I will first ask them to close the textbook and show
them a quotation on blackboard:
“Clothes make the man.Naked people have little or no influence on society.”US humorist, novelist, short story author, & wit (1835 - 1910)
Then raise questions like: Have you ever heard of this quotation? Do you know who wrote this?? What does it mean??
After some responses, I will tell them to open the book on p17 read the warming-up part.
Step2: Pre-reading (5 minutes)
Have Ss discu the 2 questions in the pre-reading part: What would you if you are given a large sum of money? What do you know about the story or the film the million pound bank note? Appoint some of them to speak out their ideas.
Step3: Appreciate the video clip (10 minutes) Before watching the video, I will use the PowerPoint to show Ss that, unlike novels or short
--First, plays are divided into acts and scenes.
--Second, there are stage directions(舞台指示) which require the reader to pause and visualize the set up.
--Third, readers must pay close attention to the dialogue in order to understand the characters and action.
Step4: Reading (10 minutes)
After watching the video, I will give Ss 3 minutes to read the script and underline unfamiliar words and expreions.
While they are reading, I will list all the new words and expreion on the blackboard.
Before instruction, ask Ss if they can gue the meaning from the context.
Then, raise 3 major questions: How many characters are there? Who are they? What happened? I will give them 2 minutes to read again and then appoint some Ss to answer.
Step 5: Practice (10 minutes)
Task 1: Retell the story——encourage Ss to summarize the story and retell it in their own words.Task 2: Role play activities——divide the cla into groups of 4 to practice the dialogues.
Part 6 Review & Homework
Use PowerPoint to recap the all the key points in this leon.
To consolidate what have been achieved in the leon and prepare for the next leon, I will aign the following homework:
1.Finish the comprehending exercise 1 and 2.Besides
2.Use the new words and expreions to make up sentences.
3.Read the script carefully and use highlighter to mark all poible new sentences structure.
