本单元的主要教学内容如下表所示：Period 1Warming Up，Pre－reading，Reading and Comprehending整体设计教学内容分析This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is the reading passage with the name of A Few Simple Forms of English Poems showing the students a few kinds of simple English poems.Warming Up gives three questions for students to discuss so that they can recall any poemsthey have ever learned and think about different reasons why people write poems.Pre－reading provides one question for students to think about and a table for students to fill in so as to help students focus on the topic of the reading passage and lead the students to skim the poems on the following pages and know about the general idea of the text.Reading mainly explains the reasons why people write poetry and introduces five simple forms of English poems.Nursery rhymes are the first poems that children will hear.These poems may not make any sense but they are easy to learn and recite.It is a good way for children to learn about language.List poems often list things，usually having many lines.They have repetition in them and sometimes they have words that rhyme.Cinquains are all made up of five lines and have the fixed structure.Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables.It is almost like a photo or painting as it creates a strong image using very few words.Tang poems are famous poems from Ancient China.They have strong imagery and are often about the bringing together of opposites.Comprehending consists of three groups of exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases：tick(给……标记号)，rhyme(韵；押韵)，convey(传达；运送)，nursery(托儿所)，concrete(具体的)，contradictory(引起矛盾的；好反驳的)，diamond(钻石；菱形)，flexible(灵活的；可弯曲的)，pattern(模式；式样；图案)，cottage(村舍；小屋)，sparrow(麻雀)，take it easy(轻松；不紧张；从容)，run out of(用完)，be made up of(由……构成)，tease(取笑；招惹；戏弄)，salty(含盐的；咸的)，endless(无穷的；无止境的)，minimum(最低限度；最少量)，translation(翻译；译文)，branch(枝条；支流；部门)，in particular(尤其；特别)2．To learn about some simple forms of English poems.3．To develop the students' reading ability by skimming and scanning the passage.4．To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about some features of some simple forms of English poems.Process and methods1．While doing Warming Up the teacher can ask the students to think back and try to remember poems from both their early childhood and more recent years.Ask students to complete Exercise 1 in groups.Ask them what they notice about these poems，then get students to recite any poems or parts of poems they can remember so as to arouse their interest in studying the whole unit.2．During Pre－reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student－centered and arouse students' interest in English poetry.The teacher should also ask the students to skim the text so as to let them have a general knowledge of some simple forms of English poems.3．While doing Reading and Comprehending，the teacher may first have the students close their books and listen to the text with their eyes closed.This gives the students the opportunity to listen to the sounds or “music” of the poems before reading them in more detail.Then ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of the passage.After detailed reading of the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the features of each kindof the poems.4．To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，the students should be required to retell the five kinds of poems in their own words at the end of the class.Emotion，attitude and value1．To cultivate students' appreciation of poetry and the ability of understanding，enjoying and writing poems.2．To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重、难点1．To enable the students to learn about some simple forms of English poetry and to develop their reading ability.2．To enable the students to write their own poems.教学过程Warming up1．Vocabulary in ReadingMatch the words and phrases with their proper meanings.1．convey()A.sameness of sound between words or syllables，esp.in the end oflines2．cottage ()B.a strong

The Design of Using Language Reading, U2, B6I’ve Saved the Summer（高二英语“语言运用”中阅读课的教学设计）I. Type of the class and the trainee（课程类型及授课对象）:Using Language Reading.Senior two students.II. The theoretic basis of the teaching design（教学设计的理论依据）:While learning the English language, the Chinese students should obtain not only the language itself, but they should also have some knowledge of western culture. Thus the taste of some English poems seems quite necessary. In the New Course Criterion, students are required to have the ability to appreciate some literary works of western culture, including the English poems.III. The analysis of the content（教学内容分析）:This is a reading class, in which the students will be taught how to appreciate an English poem by Rod Mckuen, a very famous American poet, songwriter and singer, “I’ve Saved the Summer.” It’s a well-written poem, which shows the unconditional love of a parent for the child. The parent has experienced a lot in his own way of life, so he is offering love to the young person to help him/her begin on his/her own journey of life. Thus we can teach our students to understand their parents and show love and gratitude in return.In the former lesson, we learnt some simple forms of English poems, some of which seem really a bit simple to the students. But the poem in this part is quite different. It has not only the common characteristics of poems, rhymes and rhythm, but also forms clear images in it. And at the same time, the poem contains strong and rich feelings of the parent to the child. Whoever reads the poem will feel the emotion clearly. So we can let the students learn some aspects of appreciating English poems, rhymes and rhythm; images and emotions.Besides these, the plain, simple and heartfelt language style in this poem touches many people. So when we read the poem, we can truly feel all the feelings of the parent to his/ her child, not only love, hope and happiness, but also worry and sometimes a bit regret.IV. The analysis of the students (学情分析) :After learning the Reading passage, the students have already tasted some simple forms of English poems. They have known some different forms of English poems and have become familiar with the characteristics of each kind of poems. But they can only understand the superficial meaning of these poems. And some of them think English poems are too easy and are not worth reading or appreciating. So in this period, while learning the poem, “I’ve Saved the Summer”，we will lead them to understand the poem, and meanwhile, we will teach them how to appreciate the English poems in different aspects, that is, from the point of rhymes and rhythm; images and emotions, which will really help them understand the poem better and in a higher level.V. Teaching objectives（教学目标）:A. Help the students understand the inner meanings of the poem.B. Help the students learn to appreciate English poems.C. Help the students feel the unconditional love of a parent.D. Help the students learn to write their own poems after learning it.VI. Teaching important points (教学重点) :A.

Unit 2 Poems第6课时教案——Using language: writing practice磐安县第二中学应旭旭一、教学目标知识与技能：1.能了解、运用基本的诗歌鉴赏的基本方面和策略。

2.能根据话题情境编写简单的小诗。

过程与方法：能在小组讨论的过程中，训练发散性思考，提升思辨能力。

情感态度与价值观：能够通过诗歌的学习和创作生发对父母的感恩之情，勇于表达对父母的爱。

二、教学重难点教学重点：1.能了解、运用基本的诗歌鉴赏的基本方面和策略。

2.能根据话题情境编写简单的小诗。

教学难点：能在小组讨论的过程中，训练发散性思考，提升思辨能力。

三、学情分析该单元的话题是诗歌，关于该主题学生并不陌生，在学习的生涯中，他们已经接触过各种各样的诗歌类型，也掌握了诗歌的一些基本鉴别方法。

但是这都局限于中文，对于英语诗歌，可能很多同学都是第一次接触，所以不可避免地会有点陌生。

所以要让学生快速进入到诗歌的学习中，就要帮助学生进行顺利地中英文学习迁移，那么其中的桥梁就是诗歌鉴赏的几个基本方面：韵律、意象和情感。

从这几个方面牵线搭桥能够帮助学生更快地明白中英文诗歌鉴赏其实有很多共通之处，减少学生对于陌生体裁的抗拒感。

同时，授课的班级为磐安县第二中学高二八班的同学，总的来说，班级的英语水平不是很够，教学设计如果过于复杂和深入就可能会导致学生没有任何反应。

因此，在教学的过程中一定要注意提问的设置，对于一些较难又必须要解决的问题要做好充分的铺垫和引导。

在任务的布置中，要充分发挥小组合作的力量，集思广益，降低任务的难度，又能使学生获得充分的成就感和满足感。

四、教学步骤Step1. Lead inIntroduce the story of Kongrong in the ancient time to the Ss, making them have a better understanding of the word “save”. Then give the students some examples of the usage of “save”and finally go down into the topic “I’ve saved the summer”.T: “At the beginning of our class let’s look at the picture. Do you know what’s the story about? Who is that little boy?”“Yes, he is Kongrong. And one day his father asked him to choose one of those pears. Which one did he choose, the bigger ones or the smallest one? Yes, he saved the bigger ones for his older brothers to show his love and respect to his brothers. We can save things we like for our beloved ones and we can also save time and money. Yeah, we can also save memories by taking photos. Have you ever heard of saving the summer? It’s amazing, right? Let’s learn today’s poem together.”设计意图：通过故事导入，让学生对小诗中的关键词save有一个更好的把握，能够体会出save与单纯的give之间存在的差别。
