【设计意图：以讨论分享导入，让学生结合自身经历熟悉诗朗诵的形式，思考诗朗诵最关键之处，要求学生具备什么样的能力，以便下一步的学习。】
Step 2 Choosing a poem for your recital
T leads Ss to discuss their favourite poems and gives Ss instructions on how to choose the poem suitable for recital.
T: Next, please list your three favourite poems and think about these questions: Which one is the most suitable for you to recite What will the most memorable poetry performance be like When choosing your poem, ask yourself: Have I clearly understood the theme of the poem Have I managed the complexity of this poem well What is the emotion expressed by the poet Only when you have clear answers to these questions can you make your choice.
【设计意图：让学生分享各自喜欢的诗歌，培养对语言美和文化美的欣赏；帮助学生探索作者的情感是如何在诗歌这一文学体裁中通过语言和韵律传递的。】
Step 3 Practicing reciting the poem
1. Understand your poem
T helps Ss to analyse the content and the structure, especially pay attention to the rhythm. Use the given poem “If” as an example. Share some background information of the poem with Ss.
T: Do you know the story behind this poem What’s the theme of the poem
T: It is a poem written by Kipling to his 12-year-old son. This poem is so inspiring that many people, especially teenagers, often use it to encourage themselves to move forward.
2. Memorize your poem
T gives advice on how to memorize a poem.
T: John Hollander says, “We speak of memorizing as getting something ‘by heart’ which really means ‘by head’. But getting a poem or prose passage truly ‘by heart’ implies getting it by mind and memory and understanding and delight.”
3. Recite your poem
T divides Ss into groups and encourages them to present their recital.
T: Practice reciting the poem within your group. When one member is reciting, the other members act as audience and offers advice and suggestions on how to improve the performance.
4. Tasks for each member during group work
GM 1: be the reciter
GM 2: tear down or question every aspect of the recital
GM 3: help classify those criticisms
GM 4: be less critical and more concerned with the creativity
5. Tips for reciting a poem
After Ss finish their teamwork, T has Ss read the tips on page 55 together in order to make them more skilled when reciting a poem.
【设计意图：引导学生合理分工，更高效地提高朗诵诗歌的能力。让学生得以在小组合作的过程中碰撞思维，发现自身的优缺点，对同伴进行合理评价和建议，培养团队合作的能力。】
Step 5 Presentation and assessment
T asks Ss to give a presentation in groups in front of the class.
T asks Ss to evaluate other groups’ works and ask questions or put forward suggestions.
【设计意图：学生上台完成诗朗诵，锻炼他们的自信品质和表达能力。请学生对其他组的作品进行评价、提问或建议，以培养学生表达观点的能力以及独立思考与评价的思维品质。让他们看到个人智慧与集体协作的结晶，增强学生的成就感。】
