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:
Which poem A B C D E F G H
describes a person √
tells a story √
describes an aspect of a season √ √ √
is about sport √
is about things that don’t make sense √
is recited to a baby √
describes a river scene √
has rhyming words at the end of lines √ √

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.

A TRAVELLER'S SONG
The thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother
Makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy
Carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends
Dreading the delays that will keep him late from home
But how much love has the inch-long grass
For three spring months of the light of the sun

To be or not to be,

(生存还是毁灭那是个
值得思考的问题。)
莎士比亚
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day
我能否将你比作夏天？
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
你比夏天更美丽温婉。
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残，
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
夏日的勾留何其短暂。
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
休恋那丽日当空，
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd
转眼会云雾迷蒙。
And every fair from fair sometime declines
,休叹那百花飘零，
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd
催折于无常的天命。
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
唯有你永恒的夏日常新，
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest
;你的美貌亦毫发无损。
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
死神也无缘将你幽禁
， When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
你在我永恒的诗中长存。
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee
这诗就将不朽，永葆你的芳颜。
English poets
Shelley
(1792—1822)
Ode (赞歌/颂） to the West Wind
If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind
Do you know who wrote the famous sentence
蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处
When all at once I turn my head, find her there lantern(灯笼) light is dimly(朦胧地) shed.
Wildfire never quite consumes them -- They are tall once more in the spring wind.
野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。

I’m standing right there
With no emotion
It doesn’t matter whether you miss me or not

And it isn’t going anywhere
It doesn’t matter whether you love me or not
The love is right there
And it isn’t going to change
It doesn’t matter whether you are with me or not

And I am not going to let go
Let me embrace you
Or
Let me live in your heart to eternity

Our first football match
We would have won…
If Jack had just scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t taken it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
If we’ve been better!

On and on the river flows
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve.
Should the journey return,
this stone would utter speech.

What is a poem
A poem is a composition with rhythmic
balance expressing ideas or experiences
or feelings.
A poem is a literary work that is not in verse but deals with emotional or
descriptive themes in a rhythmic form.
A poem is a piece of writing in which
the words are arranged in
separate lines, often ending in
rhyme, and are chosen for their
sound and for the images and ideas
they suggest.
Sounds Reasonable
诗歌的语言是形象而富有音乐性的语言，
也就是说，它和音乐一样，有鲜明的节
奏感，这是它与其他文学体裁的语言相
区别的重要标志之一。诗歌语言音乐性
的另一个特点是它有优美悦耳的韵律。
英语本身是一种节奏感很强的语言，
它靠重音的出现频率的高低来体现节奏
的快慢。
A Grain of Sand William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
Have you read the two poems below
一粒沙 威廉·布莱克 一沙一世界， 一花一天堂， 掌中无极限， 永恒刹那间。
Dreams
By L. Hughes
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That can never fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen only with snow
梦想
兰斯顿·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想，
千万别让它消亡，
否则生活就像鸟儿断了翅膀，
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想，
千万别让它消亡，
否则生活就像严冬的荒野，
遍地布满冰霜。

If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
虞美人 —— 李煜
问君能有几多愁，
恰是一江春水向东流。
How long will the bright moon appear Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
水调歌头 —— 苏轼
明月几时有？把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
青玉案·元夕 —— 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度，
蓦然回首，
那人却在，
灯火阑珊处。
I seek but seek in vain,
I search and search again;
I feel so sad, so drear,
so lonely, without cheer.
声声慢 —— 李清照
寻寻觅觅,
冷冷清清,
凄凄惨惨戚戚。

What language is thine, O sea
The language of eternal question.
What language is thy answer, O sky
The language of eternal silence.
From Stray Birds of Tagore
“海水呀，你说的是什么？” “是永恒的疑问。” “天空呀，你回答的话是什么？” “是永恒的沉默。”
——泰戈尔《飞鸟集》
She Walks in Beauty Byron She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
她走在美的光彩中 拜伦 她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚 皎洁无云而且繁星漫天； 明与暗的最美妙的色泽 在她的仪容和秋波里呈现： 耀目的白天只嫌光太强， 它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。
