教学过程
Teaching procedures & ways
Step 1. Greetings
Step 2. Presentation
Ask Ss to think back and try to remember poems from their early childhood, either in Chinese or in English.
Talk about some famous poets both home and abroad, either ancient ones or modern ones.
Brainstorming: What will you think of when we talk about the word “poem”?
Step 3. Warming up
Read the questions in this part, reminding Ss what they notice about the above poems.(e.g. they have a strong beat, or they have rhyme, or they play with words and sounds, or perhaps some of them are funny because they make no sense.)
Tell Ss that there are many reasons why people write poetry. Give the examples on the Bb. Ask Ss why they think the poets wrote the poems they have just recited.. Write their suggestions on the board.
Give Ss a time limit of a few minutes. Divide the class into groups of four to discuss the purpose of writing poems. Ask one person from each group to read their group’s list and add their suggestions to the list on the board. (Suggested reasons: to create certain feelings or images in the reader; to share a feeling or experience; to describe something in detail or give an impression; to get the reader to think about an idea; to express a point of view; to make the reader experience the sight, sounds, smells, feel and tastes of something; to create a mood, to play with words--- their sounds, rhyme and rhythm.)
If time permits, in small groups or as a class, discuss the kinds of topics that poets write about.( people, animals, nature, landscapes, the sea, the seasons, stories, death, war, youth and old age, feeling and experiences, emotions like love, hate, sadness, regret and desire, etc.)
Step 4. Pre-reading
People from different countries write different kinds of poems. Get Ss to discuss the questions on Page 9 with their partners: Do you have a favorite poem in Chinese? Why ? Do you have a favorite poem in English? Why?
As to exercise 2, give Ss practice in an important reading skill: scanning a text, that is, looking through a text quickly to find specific information. Read the table in exercise 2 with the Ss. Tell them that they are going to look for the information in the table, just in the poems themselves, not in the other parts of the text. They are to look only for those pieces of information and not read every word. Do an example with them.
Suggested answers to exercise 2:
Step 5. Reading
Scanning
Get the Ss to read the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teacher gives Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell them to read the text silently and then ask some detailed questions about the text on the slide show . Teacher should encourage Ss to express their ideas.
Q1. Why do people write poetry?
Q2. How many forms of poems are mentioned in the passage? What are they?
Q3. What does “nursery rhyme” mean? Why do they delight small children?
Q4. What’s the characteristic of “list poems”? What about “cinquain”?
Q5. Why do English People like “Haiku”?
Q6. Are you familiar with Tang Poems? Do you know the title of the last poem in the text?
Listening
Before Ss read the text, have them close their books and listen to the text with their eyes closed. This gives Ss the opportunity to listen to the sounds or “music” of the poems before reading them in detail. Tell them that it doesn’t matter if they don’t understand every word.
First reading
Get Ss to read the text carefully, finding the one sentence that sums up the paragraph of each part.. Underline the topic sentence.
Second reading
Tell Ss that they are going to look at the rhythm of two of the poems. Make sure they know what rhythm is. Read the limerick aloud and have Ss listen for the strong beats. Then have them clap the strong beats as you read. Mark the strong beats on the limerick on the board.
There was an old man with a beard
Who said “it is just as I feared”.
“Four insects and then
Two birds and a hen
Have all made a home in my beard”.
Now read the poem A & B. Ask them to mark the strong beats on the two poems that have a strong rhythm. Check their answers . Then play the tape and get them to clap to the strong beats in those two poems.
Third reading
Just as any scene can serve as the subject of a painting, so any part of daily life can provide material for a poem.. Of course, the choice that the artist or poet makes relates to his or her purpose. Poetry is usually short and compact, so it should be read several times, preferably aloud, to appreciate its meaning. Read the last poem (Poem H), and answer the following questions:
Q1. What parts of the poem suggest that the woman loves her husband?
Q2. How do you understand the sentence” Should the journeyer return, this stone would utter speech.”? Explain the sentence in your own words.
Q3. What picture do you have in your mind when you read the above sentences?
Q4. Do you know the Chinese title of this poem? Do you know the Chinese version of the poem?
Step 6. Make a short summary of this period.
