Step V. Retelling the Million Pound Bank-Note
T: Now, look at the key words. Prepare for retelling the whole scene.
summer, 1903, Henry Adams, American businessman, rescued, British ship, London, without money, lost, walk down, street, led to, two rich brothers, made a bet, a letter, a million-pound bank-note, open, two o’clock.
S1: It was the summer of 1903, and Henry Adams, an American businessman, had some very luck. He was 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. He was lost and alone in London. He had no money and did not know what he should do. Walking down the street, he heard someone calling him. Then he came in and was led to two rich brothers, Roderick and Oliver, who made a secret bet and gave him a letter in which there was a one-million-pound banknote. He was asked to open the letter until two o’clock in the afternoon.
T: Good, the next one, who wants to try?
(Then another student retells the whole scene.)
Step VI. Debate the importance of the money
T: Ok, class, what do you think of this play? Is money so important?
SS: no.
T: Some people say that money is everything. What do you think of this opinion?
S1: I don’t think so. Yes, money is very important in some oasion. But that doesn’t mean it is everything. For example, when your hometown is flooded and you are trapped in the water, can you save yourself even if you have a lot of money with you? No! So, we should not regard money as everything.
T: Great! But some people still think that money can bring them happiness. What do you think of this?
S2: I don’t agree this. Since money doesn’t mean everything, so it can’t bring happiness to us. For example, you have a lot of money but you haven’t a happy family, can’t you say that you are happy? T: So, class, we should have a correct attitude towards money. Now, let’s look at today’s homework.
