Written in March
William Wordsworth
English Romanticism. He was called a poet of
nature, and he was
concerned with the
human relationship to nature. In his view, all
good poetry is a
spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.
William Wordsworth
(1770 – 1850) 5
William Wordsworth was one of the founders of
Written in March
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The ploughboy is whooping – anon – anon, There’s joy in the mountains;
There’s life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
While Resting on the Bridge at the Foot of Brother’s Water
William Wordsworth

The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing, The small birds twitter, The lake doth glitter,

The early spring is in the air,
I am wandering on the square,
The long freezing winter finally waved away,
I feel totally refreshed on the day,
Kids are chasing after one another,
Leaving far behind their mother,
Pets are running loose in the park,
Everything come alive from the dark.

Homework
T h a n k y o u ！课后即时反思
今天执教的这节诗歌鉴赏课，虽然说预设的各个环节是比较顺利完成的，但 是上完课之后值得反思和改进的空间还有很多。
首先，是关于课的容量。虽然定位的是诗歌鉴赏课，但是一节课中安排了阅 读、鉴赏、创作三大块的内容，对学生来说，容量还是偏大的。学生需要在有限 的时间内很紧凑地完成从阅读到创作的过程，就会造成思考的时间和深度不够， 直接造成的课堂现象就是思考和创作停留在比较表层的位置，因为专注阅读和专 注写诗的时空不是特别够，所以没有帮助到学生打开更广阔的思路。
其次是关于老师对课堂的掌控。定位的是诗歌鉴赏，但是老师留给学生鉴赏 后表达观点的机会还是有点少，老师“留白 ”和“放手 ”的不足够，学生展示活 跃思维的机会有所限制。
另外，还是感觉整节课上得有点赶，特别是关于文本中词汇的处理和诗歌文 本特征的解读这两块内容，处理得不透。
还有，在最后产出环节或者说是课后的作业布置环节，其实还可以设计更能 激发学生 critical thinking 的作业，比如对同一句诗的不同解读或者对同一首诗的 不同翻译等。
每次上完一堂公开课，都会得到很多启发，学到很多，也更清楚地看到自己 还有哪些不足的地方，希望会有不断的进步。
