Teaching plan for Unit 2 Poems
The First Period: Warming up and Pre-reading
茂名市茂港区第一中学 杨开云The teaching plan consists of five parts:
- Analysis of the teaching material
- Analysis of the teaching methods
IV. Teaching aids
V. Teaching procedures and ways
I. Analysis of the teaching material
1) The introduction
This unit introduces the students to several simple forms of poems. It takes a look at some poetic devices like rhythm, rhyme, repetition, sound patterns and imagery. It includes poems forms that English speakers have adopted from other countries. The poem forms in this unit include ones that students can use as models to create their own poems. Reading and writing poems can improve the students’ ability of creativity, observation and imagination.
2) Knowledge goal:
Key words and phrases: recite, aspect, rhyme, rhythm, diamond, endless, transform, take it easy, run out of
3) Ability goals:
①Enable the students to know more about the poems, including the reason why people write poems and the simple types of poems.
②Improve the students’ ability of creativity, observation and imagination
4) Moral goal: By learning this part, the students can not only understand some forms of poems, but also learn how to improve the ability of observation and imagination, to enjoy the beauty of poetry.
5) Teaching aims
①To get students to practice in an important reading skill: scanning a text, that is, looking through a text quickly to find specific information.
②To arouse the students’ interest in poems.
II. Analysis of the teaching methods
1). The new curriculum advocates the cooperative learning, task-based learning and communicative learning. Therefore, I’ll create as many chances as possible to get my students to participate in various activities. The class will be divided into several groups of 5 or 6 students, between which competitions will be held. They’ll get marks if they complete certain task. Before the class is over, we'll see how many marks each group gets and which group is the champion.
2). Apply an understanding of learning styles to teaching. There are three kinds of learning styles, namely visual, auditory and kinesthetic. A visual learner likes to learn by reading, seeing or watching with his own eyes; an auditory one likes to learn by listening, by having things explained; a kinesthetic one likes to learn by doing and touching or practicing. Therefore, I’ll apply multi-functional teaching equipment to cater for different characteristics of students’ learning habits.
III. Teaching important and difficult points,
1) Talk about the kinds of poems and get to know some poets.
2) Talk about rhyme and rhythm
3) Learn to use a reading strategy: Scanning
IV. Teaching aids
A computer and a projector
- Teaching procedures and ways
Group competition
Task 1: Discuss your travel to the past (9 minutes).
T: In Unit 3 of book 5 we learned that Li Qiang and Wang Ping traveled to the future and saw amazing things. Now imagine you also had a chance to take a time travel, but you were to travel to the past rather than to the future. Your tasks were to interview your favorite poets and find out about their poems. You could visit either Chinese or foreign poets. You could also travel to your childhood to go over your first poetry you learned. Discuss with your classmates: Which time period you would travel to, which poets you would interview. Give your reasons. You can use the following sentence patterns
- I wish I could…
- If I could travel to the past, I would…
- I suggest that we should…
- My suggestion is that we should…
- I insist that…
- I would rather…
- My advice is that…
Task 2 (Group competition): Talk about the kinds of poems as well as introduce some famous poets (5 minutes).
T: If you say the name of a poem or a poet, your group can get 1 mark
(Show the English edition of Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again, The furthest distance in the world and get the Ss to guess their Chinese titles and the poets; show the pictures of Shakespeare and Shelley and let them tell who they are; show some Tang poems: In the Quiet Night by LiBai, The Willow and A Spring Morning by Meng Haoran.) Then get the Ss to do the exercise:
Match the following information.
Du Fu Tang Dynasty
Fan Zhongyan Song Dynasty
Meng Haoran Modern
Xu Zhimo Modern
Mao Zedong Tang Dynasty
Byron America
Shelly England
Emerson England
Tagore Germany
Goethe India
Conclude types of poems: funny, serious, realism, romantic, fantasy, classic (the Tang Poems, The Song Poems), modern,
Task 3: Discuss the reasons why people write poems (3 minutes).
T: As we know, poems are mostly written to show people’s emotions. In Chinese , we have “ 诗言志,诗言情,诗歌合为事而作.”That is, people write poems for different reasons. In small groups make a list of these reasons. Each group can get one point for a reasonable answer.
Possible answers:
The reasons why people write poems
to tell a story
to express feelings
to make others laugh
to create images in the readers
to express a point of view
to make the reader experience the sight, sounds, smells,
feel and taste of something
to create a mood
to play with words
…
Task 4: Your favorite poem (3 minutes)
T: People from different countries write different kinds of poems. Do you have a favorite poem in Chinese? Why is it your favorite poem? Do you have a favorite poem in English? Why is it your favorite poem?
You can get 1-3 marks for each answer, depending on how good your answer is
Task 5: Scanning (10 minutes)
T: Please scan the poems on Pages10 & 11, and then fill in the form on Page 9
We are going to practice scanning with the reading text. What is scanning? When we want to find particular information, we don’t always have to read every word or every sentence in a text. Instead, we look through a text quickly to find that specific information. In this situation, we don’t have to read the text carefully; it doesn’t matter that we don’t understand every word.
Your group can get 1 mark for each right answer.
(After finishing task 5) Now we have finished all the five tasks. Let’s see which group did the best. Group ___! Good job! Now here are your prizes. (Give each member of the champion group a small present.) Congratulations! Give them a big hand!
Task 6: Deal with some poetic devices (9minutes)
- Rhyme: A rhyme refers to the repetition of sounds at the end of rhymed words.
- Rhythm is the beat that runs through the lines in a poem. It is when a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable so that your voice becomes louder and then softer as you read
- Alliteration (头韵) is when the same consonant is repeated.
- Imagery(意象) means creating pictures (images) by putting words together in a skillful way.
Homework (1 minute)
1. Preview “ A few simple forms of English poems” and enjoy various poetic devices----rhyme, rhythm, alliteration and imagery.
2. Collect at least five English poems and be ready to present them to your classmates in the next class.
