PresentationAsk Ss to think back and try to remember poems from their early childhood, either in Chinese or in English.Talk about some famous poets both home and abroad, either ancient ones or modern ones.Brainstorming: What will you think of when we talk about the word “poem”? Step 3. Warming upRead the questions in this part, reminding Ss what they notice about the above poems.(e.g. they have a strong beat, or they have rhyme, or they play with words and sounds, or perhaps some of them are funny because they make no sense.) Tell Ss that there are many reasons why people write poetry. Give the examples on the Bb. Ask Ss why they think the poets wrote the poems they have just recited.. Write their suggestions on the board.Give Ss a time limit of a few minutes. Divide the class into groups of four to discuss the purpose of writing poems. Ask one person from each group to read their group’s list and add their suggestions to the list on the board. (Suggested reasons: to create certain feelings or images in the reader; to share a feeling or experience; to describe something in detail or give an impression; to get the reader to think about an idea; to express a point of view; to make the reader experience the sight, sounds, smells, feel and tastes of something; to create a mood, to play with words--- their sounds, rhyme and rhythm.)If time permits, in small groups or as a class, discuss the kinds of topics that poets write about.( people, animals, nature, landscapes, the sea, the seasons, stories, death, war, youth and old age, feeling and experiences, emotions like love, hate, sadness, regret and desire, etc.)Step 4. Pre-readingPeople from different countries write different kinds of poems. Get Ss to discuss the questions on Page 9 with their partners: Do you have a favorite poem in Chinese? Why ? Do you have a favorite poem in English? Why?As to exercise 2, give Ss practice in an important reading skill: scanning a text, that is, looking through a text quickly to find specific information. Read the table in exercise 2 with the Ss. Tell them that they are going to look for the information in the table, just in the poems themselves, not in the other parts of the text. They are to look only for those pieces of information and not read every word. Do an example with them.Suggested answers to exercise 2:ScanningGet the Ss to read the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teacher gives Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell them to read the text silently and then ask some detailed questions about the text on the slide show . Teacher should encourage Ss to express their ideas.Q1. Why do people write poetry?Q2. How many forms of poems are mentioned in the passage? What are they?Q3. What does “nursery rhyme” mean? Why do they delight small children?Q4. What’s the characteristic of “list poems”? What about “cinquain”?Q5. Why do English People like “Haiku”?Q6. Are you familiar with Tang Poems? Do you know the title of the last poem in the text?ListeningBefore Ss read the text, have them close their books and listen to the text with their eyes closed. This gives Ss the opportunity to listen to the sounds or “music” of the poems before reading them in detail. Tell them that it doesn’t matter i f they don’t understand every word.First readingGet Ss to read the text carefully, finding the one sentence that sums up the paragraph of each part.. Underline the topic sentence.Second readingTell Ss that they are going to look at the rhythm of two of the poems. Make sure they know what rhythm is. Read the limerick aloud and have Ss listen for the strong beats. Then have them clap the strong beats as you read. Mark the strong beats on the limerick on the board.There was an old man with a beardWho said “it is just as I feared”.“Four in sects and thenTwo birds and a henHave all made a home in my beard”.Now read the poem A & B. Ask them to mark the strong beats on the two poems that have a strong rhythm. Check their answers . Then play the tape and get them to clap to the strong beats in those two poems.Third readingJust as any scene can serve as the subject of a painting, so any part of daily life can provide material for a poem.. Of course, the choice that the artist or poet makes relates to his or her purpose. Poetry is usually short and compact, so it should be read several times, preferably aloud, to appreciate its meaning. Read the last poem (Poem H), and answer the following questions:Q1. What parts of the poem suggest that the woman loves her husband?Q2. How do you understand the sentence” Should the journeyer return, this stonewould utter speech.”? Explain the sentence in your own words.Q3. What picture do you have in your mind when you read the above sentences?Q4. Do you know the Chinese title of this poem? Do you know the Chinese version of the poem?Step 6.

Here is how to write a limerick.Pick what you would like your limerick to be about. It could be about mice, a tree, a person, or whatever.Don't end it with something you can’t rhyme - like "orange". Start it like "There once was a man who ate limes (酸橙)" or something like that.Your next line has to rhyme with the first line. If you use "There once was a man who ate limes", your second line could be like "He ate them all the time" or "And sampled various wines. Your limerick would now be like There once was a man who ate limes /And sampled various wines.The third and fourth lines have to be related to the first part of your limerick, but are not with the same rhyme. They could be like He wouldn't touch a tomato/ lt tasted too much Like potatoes or something along those lines.The fifth line must rhyme with the first two lines. Your last line could be like, "And potatoes, you know, do not shine" or something like that.Your entire limerick would be kind of like this: There once was a man who ate limes/ And sampled various wines/ He wouldn’t touch a tomato/ It tasted too much like potatoes/ And potatoes, you know, do not shine.If you don't li ke your limerick, you can always go back and change it. It’s not permanent.1.What should be cared about most to write limericks?A.The length.B.The rhyme.C.The structure.D.The style.2.From the text we can know that analyzing cause and effect.D.By following the time order.5.What might be the most suitable title for the text?A.How to analyze limericks exactly.B.How to write a limerick.C.How to appreciate a limerick.D.How to organize five lines into a limerick.三、HOW TO READ A POEMThere's really only one reason why poetry has gotten a reputation for being so "difficult": It demands your full attention. ①_________Follow Your Ears. I t’s okay to ask “What does it mean?” when you are reading a poem. But it’s even better to ask “How does it sound ?”② Even if you can’t understand a single thing about a poem’s“subject” or “theme”, you can always say something — anything — about the sound of the words.③OK, we’re not saying you have to shout it from the rooftops. If y ou’r e embarrassed and want to lock yourself in the attic (阁楼） and read the poem in the quietest whisper, go ahead. But reading aloud is really an effective way to understand a poem, because reading even part of it aloud can totally change your perspective on how it works.Read in Different Places. Just like music, the experience of poetry changes depending on your mood and the environment. Read in as many different places as possible： at the beach, on a mountain, in the subway. ④_____________ Think Li ke a Poet. Here’s a fun exercise. Go through the poem one line at a time, covering up the next line with your hand so you can’t see it. Put yourself in the poet’s shoes:⑤If you start to think like this, you’ll be able to appreciate all the different choices that go into making a poem.A.Be Patient.B.Read It Aloud.C.If all else fails, treat it like a song.D.If I had to write a line to come after this line, what would I put?E.So if you don’t get it, set the poem aside and come back to it lat er.F.Sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery for a poem to really come alive.G.Here is a short list of tips that will make poems reading more enjoyable.答案以及解析一、1.答案：transformed into2.答案：popular with3.答案：in particular4.答案：Take it easy5.答案：run out of6.答案：screaming解析：【解题思路】考査非谓语动词。
