Step I Warming up
Mark Twain is probably one of the few American writers with whom Students are already familiar. This exercise allows teachers to discover just how much students remember about this 19th century writer. Find out in the discussions how much the students know and decide how much more they need to know about the author before they read the play.
1. T: Morning, everyone! Look at the screen, please. I will show you some pictures of a famous play. Talk about them in your own words. (The teacher shows them some pictures of THE MILLION POUND BANK-NOTE.)
Picture one: I just need a suit.
Picture two: I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.
Picture three: Goodness me! Six zeros.
(Students discuss the three pictures)
T: Ok, class. After watching and discussing the pictures, can you guess what the famous play is?
SS: Yes. It is called THE MILLION POUND BANK-NOTE.
T: Then, do you know the writer of the play?
SS: Yes. It is Mark Twain.
T: What do you know about the American writer Mark Twain? Next, read “ABOUT MARK TWAIN” on page 23 so that you can know more about him.
2. Students read this passage about Mark Twain and answer the questions given in the form on page 23.
T: What’s the real name of Mark Twain?
SS: Samuel Langhorne Clemens.
T: When was he born and when did he die?
SS: He was born in 1835 and died in 1910.

T: Can you name three of his famous stories?

T: Why did you forget this one----THE MILLION POUND BANK-NOTE? As we know, Mark Twain is known as a humorist during his life. And this is reflected in THE MILLION POUND BANK-NOTE. So, today we’ll learn some parts of this famous play. Of course, if you want to read more about the life of this great writer, you can go to the library or surf the Internet to find more about him.
Step II Pre-reading
Get the students to discuss the question with their partners and then ask them to report their work. Encourage them to express their opinions freely.
1.T: If a rich person gives you a large amount of money to use as you like, for example, one million pound, what will you do? Why? (The teacher draws a picture on the blackboard.)
(Students have a discussion on this question. Whatever choice students make here, they should be ready to offer their classmates a good reason for it.)
