Period 7 Listening
Teaching goals 1. To get Ss to learn more about English poems.2. To get Ss to appreciate some more English poems.3. To train Ss’ listening ability.
Importantand difficult points 1. Listening
教学过程： Teaching Procedures:Step 1. Warming Up.Purpose: To lead Ss to the topic and arouse the Ss’ interest in the next new poem.
Ask Ss to take a look at the above pictures and discuss the questions below:Do you like summer And which part of summer do you like better What kind of sports do you like to do in summer How will you spend your next summer holiday Step 2. Listening.Listen to the poem “I’ve saved the summer”, and discuss in pairs and answer some questions about it.Q1 Do you think the speaker in the poem is more likely to be a girlfriend / boyfriend or a parent Q2 Does the poem have arrhythmic pattern Q3 Does the poem have rhyming words Q4 When you were listening to the poem, did it make you feel something or think about something What did it make you feel or think about Suggested answers:A1 The speaker in the poem is more likely to be a parent. A. Yes. (It has two strong beats per line.)A3 Yes. A4 Various answers are acceptable.Step 3. Reading and appreciating Purpose: To get some details and learn the meaning of the poem.1. Brainstorming (1) Ask Ss to circle the words that rhyme. What is unusual about the rhyming words in the last four lines (2) Try beating or clapping the strong beats of the rhythm as you read the poem to yourself. Now listen to the poem again and clap the strong beats. Suggested Answers: (1) Circle words: you / new, need / feed, nineteen / mean, way / day, own / own. The rhyming words in the last four lines are unusual because they are the same word (although they each have a different meaning). (2) The strong beats of the rhythm are marked below. I’ve saved the summer And I give it all to youTo hold on winter mornings When the snow is new. I’ve saved some sunlight. If you should ever need A place away from darknessWhere you mind can feed. And for myself I’ve kept your smileWhen you were but nineteen, Till you’ve older you’ll know What brave young smiles can mean.I know no answers To help you on your wayThe answer lie somewhereAt the bottom of the day. But if you’ve a need for loveI’ll give you all I own It might help you down the road Till you’ve found your own. 2. Group workIn small groups discuss these questions.(1) Who is the speaker in the poem and who is he / she speaking to Give reasons to support your answer. (2) Which of the following is the closest to the speaker’s message Give a reason for your choice. If it’s cold, I’ll warm you; if it’s dark, I’ll give you light; if you’re hungry, I’ll feed you; if you want love, I’ll give it to you.Although the future may be difficult for you, whenever you need warmth and love, remember I’ll have some to give you.While you’re away I’ll remember your smile and I’ll love you always. When you return, I hope you will love me.Suggested Answers: ①. A parent (mother or father) is speaking to a young adult child (son or daughter). Many of the phrases imply that the speaker is an older person who has experienced their own journey through life and who is offering love to the young person to help him / her begin on his / her own journey through life. For example, I’ve saved the summer … and I’ve saved some sunlight … When the speaker says Till you’ve older … he / she is implying that he / she is much older than the young person (that is, till you’re older like me). The parent also says that although he / she does not know the answers to life’s questions (I know no answers to help you on your way). We know that the speaker is probably a parent because he / she is offering the child unconditional love (But if you’ve a need for love, I’ll give you all I own). We know that the son / daughter is a young adult because the speaker refers to the time when you were but nineteen. ②. B. Step 4.

To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

把握在你手心里的就是无限，
永恒也就消融于一个时辰。The reason why I like the poem better than any poem is that from the poem I have gained a lot, that is, we can get something valuable from even tiny things and we can achieve what we want if we can master what we have had now.
