Mom Knows Best
When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was two running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up.
When I was seven coughing badly, she said no ice-cream for me.
But I talked back loudly, “I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now!”
When I was nine watching scary movies, she said it’d give me awful dreams.
But I shouted back angrily, “I should be allowed to watch it! I’m not a baby!”
When I was a teen going out with friends, she said, “Please be back by ten!”
But I talked back again — “I should not be told what to do! I’m seventeen now!”
Now I’m an adult, thinking back to those times.
I coughed for days after eating that ice-cream
And had scary dreams after watching that film.
I was late for school from staying out past ten.
I regret talking back, not listening to Mom.
Mom knows best, and for me she wanted only the best!

单元名称 Unit7Teenagers should be allowed to choose their own clothes
教材版本 人民教育出版社新目标Go for it
授课年级 九年级
1． 整体设计思路
本节课的内容是基于教材的一首诗歌，这也是本版本教材第一次出现诗歌, 教材在最后一个单元还有一首诗歌，且有辨识文体的教学目标。所以本课内容是单元内容的一次衍生课和整合课，主要进行的对诗歌的初步认识，理解，分析和创作。
在本次课中，我和孩子们主要学习英语自由诗的形式，让孩子们能判断基本的自由诗歌题材；同时解读本课的内容，情感，和简单的写作技巧；然后进行简单的自由诗创作。
诗歌题材博大，内容精深，作为初三的英语学习者，简单的了解英语诗歌有利于更好的认识英语这门语言的美，对孩子们的素养有一定的帮助。然而，这个文体较新，所以，学习难度相对较大。因此，本课采用input—output的教学模式，让学生由浅入深的感知和习得，并希望能达到简单的运用。在教学的过程中，希望能让本次课是一场生成型的课程，也同时希望能让孩子们能够在学习的过程中有创造性思维和批判性思维的机会，所以本课采用了大量开放性问题。从认识自由诗的形式开始，逐渐深入到诗歌的内容和情感，再深入到诗歌的技巧，最后通过小组协作，进行创作和诗歌产出。
