Step 3: while-reading (30 minutes)
(Deal with paragraph 3, 4 and 5)
1. Fast-reading (10 minutes)
T: What about English poetry Now, please open your textbook and turn to page 28. Let’s have a look at paragraph three, four and five first. Please listen to the tape carefully and find out how many periods have been mentioned in the passage Is that clear
Ss: yes
T: Ok, here we go.
(Several minutes later)
T: Who’d like to tell us the answer How many periods
S1: There are three periods.
T: Three Are you sure Do you agree with her Ok, after we finish these paragraphs, I’d like you to answer this question again, to see whether there are three periods or more. Ok
S1: Ok.
T: Thank you. No matter how many periods there are, do you think English poetry has a long history like Chinese
Ss: No.
T: Of course not. Generally speaking, we can divide the history of English poetry into five periods:
1. The Renaissance Period
2. The Neoclassical Period
3. The Romantic Period
4. The Victorian Period
5. The Modern Period
But the earliest work of poetry appeared after 14th century. So we say it doesn’t have a long history.
2. Intensive-reading (20 minutes)
T: Despite its short history, there are a lot of good English poets around. This time, would you please red the third paragraph more carefully and answer the questions on the screen
1. How many poets are there in paragraph 3 Who are they

(Several minutes later)

Ss: Four
T: Who are they xxx would you please
S2: They are William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne and Alexander Pope.
T: Good. Thank you. There are four poets, right William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne and Alexander Pope. What about the second question Any volunteers
S3: John Donne.
T: Correct. Thank you. The poetry of John Donne reminds Chinese readers of the poems by Su Dongpo. Do you know why Because of his use of surprising images. So the term “metaphysical poetry” is commonly used to the work of the 17th-century writers who wrote under the influence of John Donne. And 《The Rising Sun》is his most famous work..
Well, what about John Milton What is his poetry famous for
S4: The poetry of John Milton is famous for the absence of rhyme.
T: Thanks for your smart answer. John Milton is the 2nd greatest poet in England. He left us three great works: 《Paradise Lost》、《Paradise Regained》 and 《Samson Agonists》. While, do you know in which situation John Milton created these three works When he was blind and suffering. Don’t you think we can learn something from him
After we have mentioned two famous poets, there is one master who we can’t omit in the history of English poetry. Who is he
Ss: William Shakespeare.
T: Yes, he is William Shakespeare. Yesterday I asked you to look for some information about Shakespeare, right Now who’d like to say something about Shakespeare
Ss: ……
T: Quite pared with other poets, I think, we are more familiar with William Shakespeare, especially his drama, right
Ss: yes
T: Can you name some of his plays
Ss: ……
T: Actually, his plays include many aspects: history plays, comedy and tragedy. Among them, I think his comedies and tragedies are more famous. There are four comedies. Let’s see. Maybe you’ll know some of them.
1.《A midsummer Night’s Dream》
2.《The merchant of Venice》
3.《Twelfth Night》
4.《The Merry Wives Of Windsor》
And there are four greatest tragedies:
1.《Hamlet》
2.《Othello》
3.《King Lear》
4.《Mac Beth》
Besides these four greatest tragedies, there are another two famous tragedies. I’m sure you are very familiar with one of them. Let’s see. One is Julius Caesar, and what about another one
Let’s see a short part of a film first.
(Two minutes later)
T: What is it
Ss: 《Romeo and Juliet》
T: yes. Do you like it
Ss: yes.
T: I’m very glad to hear that. So we say Shakespeare is one of the most remarkable playwrights. On the other hand, he is also a very excellent poet. All his life, he created 154 sonnets and 2 long poems. And his poems are always about pure love and deep friendship. You see, how great Shakespeare is! So much for Shakespeare. Now I’d like you to pay attention to the time. Have you found that John Donne, John Milton, William Shakespeare, all of them were the poets during late 16th century and 17th century. So which period did they belong to
Ss: The Renaissance Period.
T: yes. What about Alexander Pope Do you think they are in the same period
Ss: No.
T: From the end of paragraph 3, we can know that Pope was a poet in 18th century, right
Ss: yes.
T: So we say he was a poet during The Neoclassical Period. Actually paragraph 3 gives us some information about two different periods, right Well, now, xxx would you please tell us how many periods have been mentioned in our passage
S1: Four.
T: That’s right, thank you. How time flies! The windmill of the time accompanied us going through the Renaissance and the Neoclassical Period. And now it brings us to the third stop——The Romantic Period. It also produced a great number of good poets. I’ll read paragraph 4 for you. Please listen to me carefully and find out answers to these questions:
1. According to this paragraph, how many poets are there in this period Who are they
2. Byron’s Isles of Greece is an example of what
3. Whose poetry reminds Chinese readers of Du Fu or Li Bai Are you clear
Ss: yes.
(Reading)
T: Ok, now I will ask some of you to give me your answers. I think the first one is easy. Let’s answer it together. How many
Ss: There are three.
T: Good. Who are they Any volunteers
S5: They are John Keats, William Wordsworth and George Gordon Byron.
T: Very good. Are you clear Shall I say it again
Ss: No.
T: Ok. What about the next one Actually it is a question from post-reading——multiple choice, number 3. Well, which one do you choose Is it a sonnet or romantic poetry or nature poetry or modern one
Ss: B. Romantic poetry.
T: Yes, very good. Here, I’d like to tell you more about Byron and his work.
Byron was considered to be the representative of romantic poetry. As a leading Romanticist,, his chief contribution is his creation of “Byronic Hero”. When he was 19 years old, he published his first collection of poems: 《Hours of Idleness》. But his masterpiece is 《Don Juan》, a great comic epic of the early 19th century. Here, in our textbook, Isles of Greece is a part of that masterpiece. It is mainly about a tragic lot of Greece. By the way, although Byron was born in a noble family, he still showed his empathy to these suffering people. He is a kind man, right But unluckily, he died when he was only 36 years old. Very young, right While, at the same time we have another famous poet who had a long life. Who is he
Ss: William Wordsworth.
T: yes. He is regarded as the beginning of real romanticism. Together with another two famous poets, they were known as “lake poets”. So the poetry of Byron, John Keats and Wordsworth reminds Chinese readers of the poems by Li Bai and Du Fu. This is the answer to the third question. Have you got it
Ss: yes.
T: Ok. We sill leave the last period. Now let’s read paragraph 5 together. Finally, one two start……
(reading)
T: Here I won’t deal with the poet in Modern period in details. If you are interested in Robert Frost, you can discuss with me after class or surf on the internet. Ok
Ss: Ok.
T: Up till now we have mentioned a lot of poets n different periods. Shall we finish exercise 3 in post-reading together
Ss: Ok.
(Do the exercise and check the answers.)
Step4: Discussion (5 minutes)
(Deal with the last two paragraphs)
T: Totally there are four periods, right Well, each period has its own characteristics. On the other hand, every poet has his own style, right
Ss: yes
T: So, how can we understand them Basically, they speak English, but we speak Chinese. If I know nothing about English, what shall I do Who can help me
S6: I think we need a translator.
T: yes, a translator may do something. Well, if a poem is translated into another language, is it still the same poem What are some differences Now, please read the last two paragraphs and have a discussion with your desk-mates. Then I will invite some of you to help me to solve this problem. Clear
Ss: yes
T: Ok. Now read and discuss with your partner.
(several minutes later)
T: Stop here, please. Now, who can help me
S7: ……
T: Very good. Thank you very much. No matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost. So we’d better learn English well, thus we can read poetry in English.
Step 5: Post-reading (3 minutes)
(Adopt the first paragraph as a conclusion of the whole passage)
T: So, today, we have learnt a lot of things about English poetry, including some famous poets and their representative works, right

Teaching Procedure:
Step 1: Greeting and Revision (10 minutes)
T: Good morning, girls!
Ss: Good morning, Miss Luo!
T: Do you still remember your homework Retell the text, right Don’t be so nervous. This time, I won’t let one or two students to retell the text. Let’s play a game. First of all, I will begin our retelling with a simple sentence. Then I will invite one student to move on. After that, she will ask another student to continue. According to this rule, let’s finish our homework together. Shall we
Ss: yes.
T: Ok, let’s begin.
(Retelling)
T: Good job. You’ve made a good revision. So the text is mainly about English poems and some famous poets. Despite its short history, there are a lot of great poets around. They stand out in the halls of glory. There are two kinds of poems. One follows special patterns of rhythm and rhyme, the other is famous for absence of rhyme. The introduction of English poetry to China came late. Some famous writers made a great contribution, such as Lu Xun, Guo Moruo. They translated both poetry and novels into Chinese. However, no matter how well a poem is translated, something of the atmosphere of the original work is lost. We’d better read English poetry in English.
Step 2: Word-study (7 minutes)
T: “poem, poet, glory, absence, translate, atmosphere” these words are what we have met in the text, right Now, please turn to page 29, word-study, exercise 1. Would you please fill in the blanks with these six words Is that clear
Ss: yes.
T: Good. Do it yourself as quickly as you can.
(several minutes later)
T: Have you finished yet
Ss: yes
(check the answers)
T: Very good. So much for word-study. I think our brain is ready for more difficult things. Let’s move on to grammar.
Step 3: Grammar (18 minutes)
T: xxx, would you please close the window I feel a little cold.
S1: ……
T: Thank you. Well, what did I do just now
Ss: You asked xxx to close the window.
T: yes. So we can say: The teacher asked xxx to close the window. In other words, we also can say: xxx was a asked by the teacher and closed the window. Right
Ss: yes.
T: Actually, here we can omit “xxx was” and change the sentence into “Asked by the teacher, xxx closed the window.” Understand
Ss: yes
T: And the word “asked” is a past participle, used as adverbial. So today we will learn something about “the past participle used as adverbial”. First of all, let’s review some past participle——exercise 1. This is your homework, right So we just check the answers very quickly. Ok, this team please.
(check the answers)
T: Very good. Now, I’d like some of you to translate some of them into Chinese. The first one, xxx would you please
S2: ……
T: Good. So what is the relationship between two clauses
Ss: Cause and result
T: Yes, quite right. So we say the past participle——frightened here lead an adverbial clause of cause.
The first usage of the past participle: adverbial clause of cause.
Another example: Encouraged by the teacher, the students worked harder than ever.
(show the sentence on the slide)
Who can translate this sentence
S3: ……
T: So it is also something about cause and result, right
Ss: yes.
T: What about the second sentence Who’d like to translate it
S4:……
T: Good. Can you conclude the usage of the past participle in this sentence
Ss: No.
T: It’s a bit difficult, I think. Actually, here the past participle is used as adjoint adverbial. It is used to explain the situation in which the event happens. For example: He turned away, greatly disappointed. (slide)
We say he left in a disappointed mood. Right
Ss: yes.
T: Ok, here I’d like you to pay attention to the difference between “following two policemen” and “followed by two policemen”. We know they are not the same. Well, what’s the difference
S5: “following two policemen” means the woman walks after two policemen. “followed by two policemen” means two police walk after the woman.
T: Quite right. Very good. Are you clear
Ss: yes
T: Next sentence, sentence number 4. Who can translate it
S6: ……
T: So, it has something to do with time, right So we know that the past participle “built” here leads an adverbial clause of time. One more sentence: Seen from the top of the hill, the town looks beautiful. (show the sentence on the slide)
What does it mean
Ss:……
T: right, you are very clever, girls. Let’s move on. Sentence number 6. What about you girl Translate this sentence into Chinese, Ok
S7:……
T: Good. So what do you think about this sentence Is it an adverbial clause of time or cause or something else
S7: I think it’s an adverbial clause of condition.
T: Correct. This is the fourth way to use the past participle as an adverbial. Great, thank you!
Still, I’d like to show you another sentence: Given more time, we could have done it better. (slide)
It also is an adverbial clause of condition that is led by the past participle “given”, right
Ss: yes.
T: Now comes the last sentence. let’s translate it together, ok
Ss: ……
T: So we say in this sentence, the past participle leads an adverbial clause of concession. More sentence will make you understand it better. Let’s see: Left alone at home, Sam did not feel afraid at all.(slide)
Ss: ……
Step 4: Consolidation (7 minutes)
T: Good. Up till now, we have talked about past participle used as adverbial. How many ways can it be used
Ss: five.
T: Yes. The past participle can lead an adverbial clause of cause, time, condition, concession as well as accompanying. Right
Ss: yes
T: So, go through these rules again after class. Besides, past participle is always used with some link verbs, such as after, before, since, if, although, when, while, whenever, once until, etc. Now let’s see some examples that help us to understand it.
1. Leave it in the oven until well cooked.
2. Once published, his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line.
(show these sentences on the slide)
T: So please finish exercise 3, and then you’ll be more familiar with these link verbs.
Step 5: Homework (3 minutes)
T: Today, we have learnt so many words and grammar points. So I prepared a big “cake” for you.
Please finish all the exercise in our textbook and workbook of unit 4 as well as exercise book A and B.
Is that clear
Ss: yes.
T: Class is over. See you!
Ss: See you.

Ss: No.
T: Really What a pity! Well, I find it very interesting. I’d like to know more about poetry. So during the seven-day holiday, I went to my teacher and asked for some suggestions. First, he asked me: “What would you like to read ” I said: “I don’t know.” And then he asked me: “Do you have any favorite poets ” I said: “No, I don’t know.” At that time, he was very surprised, at last he said: “Ok, maybe you can read this book first. You can find a topic or a poet that you like best, and then I’ll give you more advice.”
Look, this is the book that my teacher advised me to read. There are a lot of famous poets and great poems inside. So we call it a collection of poems. It includes a lot of things. I believe it will help me a lot. Maybe I’ll become a great woman poet some day. if you want to read some poems, you can ask me for help; you can ask your own English teacher Miss Cao for help; and you also can ask a librarian for help when you go to library, right Here is a conversation between a librarian and a student.

When You Are Oldby William Butler YeatsWhen you are old and gray and full of sleepAnd nodding by the fire, take down this bookAnd slowly read, and dream of the soft lookYour eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;How many loved your _____of glad grace,And loved your ____ with love false of ____;But one man loved the pilgrim ____ in you,And loved the sorrows of your changing ____;And bending down beside the glowing bars,Murmur, a little sadly, how love fledAnd paced upon the mountains overhead,And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
《当你老去》当你老了，头白了，睡思昏沉，炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，回想它们过去的浓重的阴影；多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候，爱慕你的美貌，出于假意或者真心，只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，爱你已改的容颜痛苦的皱纹。躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，凄然低语，爱为何消逝，它漫步走上高高的山峦，将脸庞隐没在了群星间。
