高二英语Unit4 A garden of poems课本原文AENGLISH POETRYReading poetry brings people from different places and different times together．More than any other form of literature，poetry plays with sounds，words and grammar．That makes poetry difficult to write，but very interesting to read．Poetry also calls up all me colours，feelings，experiences and curious images of a dream world．China has a long history during which many of the world’s greatest poets were active．Poems by Du Fu，Li Bai and Wang Wei among others stand out in the halls of glory．When you have read some Chinese poems，you will have seen and heard some of the features that all good poetry shares．The form is very important：thenumber of lines and the number of characters in each line．Poetry often follows special patterns of rhythm and rhyme．Despite its short history，there is a lot of good English poetry around．The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand．Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare，towards the end of the sixteenth century．The seventeenth century was a great time for English poetry．Shakespeare is most famous for his plays．His sonnets，however, belong to the best English poetry．In the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo．Before the end of the century，there was another famous writer, John Milton．Once published，his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line．In the eighteenth century it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England．The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the nineteenth century．Greatly loved in China are the English Romantic poets．Although they were all born in the eighteenth century, they wrote their major works in the early years of the nineteenth century．John Keats died at a very young age in 1821; while William Wordsworth，who spent much of his time in the English Lake District, lived to the age of 80 and r died in 1850．The nature poems by William Wordsworth，George Gordon Byron’s Isles of Greece and the sonnets and long poems by John Keats have long been favourites．The style and atmosphere in their poems has often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai．Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use．Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost．The introduction of English poetry to China came late．Towards the end of the nineteenth century Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry．The great moment for European literature to come to China is between 1910 and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels Into Chinese.More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English．Translations can be good，but being able to read in English gives you much more choice．Besides，no matter how well a poem is translated，something of the spirit of the original work is lost．Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways of expressing yourself in Chinese．Finally, poems and literature can be bridges between the East and the West．They can help us to understand each other better, or as Mu Dan wrote：Quietly, we embraceIn a world lit up by words．Read the text carefully and choose the best answer．1. Modern English came into being from about the end of the __________ century·A. 16thB. 17thC. 18thD. 19th2. The poetry of John Donne reminds Chinese readers of the poems by ________________．A. Du FuB. Li BajC. Su DongpoD. Guo Moruo3. Byron’s Isles of Greece (1824) is an example of_______________．A. a sonnetB. romantic poetryC. nature poetryD. modern poetry4. The wider public in China discovered English poetry at the beginning of the ____________ century.A. 17mB. 18thC. 19thD. 20th5. The advantage of reading English poetry in Chinese translation is_______________．A. that you have more choiceB. that something of the spirit is lostC. that you understand it betterD. that you learn how to express yourself in new waysBSONGS AND POEMSWhy read，and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs．I sing when I feel good．When I sing my favourite songs，I feel even better．Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words，I feel that it was written for me．A good song always makes me feel something．There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day．They help me get through the day．They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades．I like songs about love and friendship．The extraordinary thing is，my feelings are more special when I sing my favourite songs in English．I also like reading．I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not lookup the meaning of the words．Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms，but the best thing is to justforget about them．In the beginning I felt quite strange．Now I always lock the door Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling，but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm，the rhyme andthe sounds of the words，it is really a special experience．I started with small poems，but now I think I most like long poems．I have different feelings with different poems．When I have had a bad day at school，I read Keats and forget everything．When I amsad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle．When the poem is finished，I close the book and my sadness is gone．Read the following poems in class．Discuss with your classmates what they mean to you．DUST OF SNOWThe way a crow Has given my heartShook down on me A change of moodThe dust of snow And saved some partFrom a hemlock tree Of a day I had rued．By Robert FrostCIntegrating SkillsTHE BIRTH OF MODERN POETRYWhen asked about poetry, most people will say that a poem is a text that has rhythm and rhyme．Famous are the lines by William Blake，which have clear rhythm and rhyme：Tiger, tiger, burning bright,in the forest of the night．Other people will add that poems must have a certain form，with a fixed number of lines and a fixed rhyme pattern，such as a sonnet．With rhyme，most people mean the rhyme of sound of words at the end of the lines．It is also true that much of the classical poetry that we have looks like that．Except for some short songs and poems included in his plays，all of Shakespeare’s greatest poems are sonnets．John Milton was one of the first poets who started writing poems without rhyme at the end of the fines．He wrote other poems too，but he is famous for his long poems without rhyme．After Milton，almost every poet had a hand at this kind of poetry that was free of rhyme．Wordsworth and Keats wrote some such poems，but that is not what they are famous for．This style of poetry became known as free verse (自由诗)．It was not until the twentieth century that modern poetry was really developed．Modern poets wanted to break with all the traditional forms of poetry．One of the characteristics of modern poetry is that it usually does not have rhyme at the end of a line, and it is also often about common topics．In China，free verse was known and used much earlier．The following poem by Bai Juyi is an example of a poem written in free verse．( omitted )。

高二英语Unit4 A garden of poems教案二教材分析本单元中心话题是“诗歌与文化”。

单元各部分围绕着这一中心，着重介绍了中学生并不熟悉的英语诗歌。

由于语言鸿沟的存在和中西文化差异，学生要真正的懂得欣赏英语诗歌并从中获得乐趣美感并不容易。

通过本单元的学习，使学生了解英语诗歌中包含的绚丽多彩的西方文化，并引导他们思考和探寻诗歌文化中蕴藏的人本色彩。

“热身”(Warming up) 部分由English Poetry的一个分支——学生较熟悉的“Songs”引入，继而介绍rhymes和limericks,并带入到课本中的两首limericks。

在教学过程中强调师生互动，鼓励学生大胆将诗歌加上感情和动作表演出来，这样有助于学生更好的形成对本单元介绍的英语诗歌印象并产生较高的兴趣。

“听力”(Listening)部分的内容分两部分内容：WB与SB。

SB内容可以由“热身”(Warming up)活动结束后自然过渡导入， SB部分是一则对话：一位男生到图书馆借有关POEM的书籍，不知如何选择，于是请图书管理员推荐相关书目。

对话涉及了很多有关诗歌的基本知识，如管理员推荐那位男生在读欣赏诗歌前应先对诗歌文化作一定的了解而推荐的A garden of poems(是关于诗歌总述及类别的一本书)，然后又建议其分门别类的阅读诗歌，并有重点的欣赏自己喜欢的诗歌类型。

这篇对话提出了一个概念：诗歌是按一定的特点和格式分类（type）的，阅读诗歌时应注意选择。

WB包括一篇介绍诗歌起源的短文和三篇rhymes,有助于帮助学生了解并把握诗歌的节奏感和韵律美。

通过“听力”(Listening)部分的学习，学生会更好的形成对诗歌的总体印象并了解英语诗歌中包含的丰富文化，为本单元后面部分的学习打下基础。

“读前”(Pre-reading)部分由一小部分有关诗歌创作的影片引入，直观地引起学生对诗歌的兴趣。

然后再提到学生很熟悉的中国著名诗人，如李白，杜甫，并一起朗读李白的一篇名作，利用好母语，为承接到英语诗歌作好铺垫。
