unit4 Exploring Poetry
Extended Reading：Li Bai and his romantic poetry
. 教材分析
本文围绕李白及其浪漫主义诗歌展开，涵盖多方面：开篇借诗作呈现李白诗歌浪漫风格初显，接着从成长经历（读书游历积累、受传统文化熏陶 ）、社会背景（唐代盛世开放包容氛围对其个性与创作的影响 ）、诗歌创作特色（丰富想象力、强烈情感表达、艺术手法运用 ），到其浪漫主义诗歌在国内外的深远影响（对中外诗人如埃兹拉·庞德的启发，及至今受全球读者喜爱 ），全方位展现李白浪漫主义诗歌相关内容。
II. 学情分析
我所带的班级学生，虽然学习英语多年，掌握有一定的词汇量，但是本课时讲述的是李白及其浪漫主义诗歌，与日常生活相比，文章的立意和深度相对来说有一定提升，学生对于这方面的基础相对薄弱。因此，教学需立足学生基础，从夯实语言知识、简化文学文化概念入手，设计低门槛任务，借助熟悉文化元素（李白）建立信心，逐步培养阅读、思维能力，扭转学习态度，实现对文本的理解与素养提升。
