Warming 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 poems they 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

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 readingof the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the features of each kind of 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Step

they notice about these poems.For example，perhaps they have a strong beat，or they rhyme，or they play with words and sounds，or perhaps some of them are funny because they make no sense.3．Warming up by doing Exercise 2 with students.Then get them into groups as this might prompt their memories.Get the students to recite any poems or parts of poems they can remember.(If the students can't recite any poems or parts of poems，prepare a couple of poems that they would know，in Chinese or English.)4．Tell students that there are many reasons why people write poetry.Give the examples in Exercise 3.Ask
