Tape description:

People invented poetry as they help to remember things. Before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things. People early discovered that rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when they are trying to remember things. So they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know and passed on from generation to generation. For example to remember their history. They recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought.

(Collect the answers from the students.)

T: Yes. Before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things.

And rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when people are trying to remember things. That’s why our ancestors invented poetry.

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman

If you don’t, you are not a man

If you praise her, she thinks you are lying

If you don’t, you are good for nothing

If you agree to all her likes, she is abusing

If you don’t, you are not understanding

If you make romance, you are an experienced man

If you don’t, you are half a man

If you visit her too open, she thinks it’s boring

If you don’t, she accuses you of double crossing

If you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy

If you don’t, you are a dull boy

….

“O Lord, tell me what to do. AMEN”

2)Always Have a Dream

Forget about the days when it’s been cloudy,

But don’t forget your hours in the sun.

Forget about the times you’ve been defeated,

But don’t forget the victories you’ve won.

Forget about the misfortunes you’ve encountered,

But don’t forget the times your luck has turned.

Forget about the days when you’ve been lonely,

But don’t forget the friendly smiles you’ve seen.

But don’t forget to always have a dream.

Period 2 Speaking

Teaching aims:

1. Talking about poems to raise the Ss’ interest in poems.

2. Making dialogue to improve the Ss’ speaking ability.

Teaching procedures:

Step1 Greeting & Lead-in

(At the beginning of the class, show the Ss a poem----twinkle, twinkle little star)

T：Just now, we enjoined a bit interesting poem. How do you feel about the poem? (Ss may have different ideas). For myself, I like it. When I read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. In the dark sky of night, there are thousands of stars that twinkle in the sky! So in this way, poem tells us about nature and shows us the beauty of nature. No wonder there are many poets expressing themselves by writing poems!

Step 2 Warming-up

T: You know there are many poems existing in the world, and China has a long history of poems ranging from Li Bai, Du Fu in the ancient times to Guo Monuo in the modern times. Can you recite some Chinese poems in a vivid way?

(Welcome some Ss to perform and give some claps; if possible show them some flash for the poems)

Step 3 Speaking

1.T: It seems that you have mastered Chinese poems well.

1) Do you all like the poems written by Li Bai or Du Fu?

2) Whose style do you like best? /Which poet do you like best?

So different people may like different poems. And you’ve also gained some knowledge of English poetry well, so it’s easy for you to express your feelings about poems.

2.T: The circles below give you ideas of topics for poems, periods of time, groups or names of poets and human feelings in poems. Work in groups. Ask each other questions about the kind of poetry your classmates might want to read. Choose a word from each circle and explain why you would /would not like to read a poem like that. You can repeat the exercise a few times.

3. T: When you are practising with your partner, do remember to use the useful expressions listed in your book.

Step 4 Talking

T: A wonderful job! You all can express yourselves freely and use the expressions very well. Your ideas all sound reasonable. Though poems are beautiful and they can sometimes explore our inner motions, yet still many other people don’t like them, for they think they are too sensitive. So some people are worried about their disappearing.

T: Read the following passage and decide whether poetry is getting more popular or whether it is disappearing. Explain why you think so.

------Poetry is dead! There are few people who read poetry in their free time. Who cares? However, some people do care. They think it is important to stop poetry disappearing from culture life.

One way to save poetry is by proving that poetry is alive and around us everywhere. Poetry is not something for students of literature: an advertisement is just as much a poem as a Shakespeare sonnet(十四行詩).

Poetry festival can make poetry more popular .At festivals, poets and audiences get together to read and listen to poetry. The song texts of hip-hop and rap music are often regarded as a new type of poetry of our time. Long live poetry.

T: So having read this short passage, what’s your point of view about the destiny(命運) of the poetry？

T：(GW)Those who think poetry will be more popular, please sit on the left side of the class, and you are side A; And those who think poetry will disappear, please sit on the right side of the class, and you are side B. Then discuss the topic with your group members (4 Ss a group) and last let’s share your ideas. And the monitor will be the judge to host the discussion.

T: Monitor, you please! You may open the discussion like this: I’m honored to host the discussion. What’s the future of the poetry? We don’t know, but maybe after the discussion we can have a clear understanding of poetry. Now let’s open our ears to their talking. Side A, you first……

(Then the monitor comes to host the discussion)

T: A really hot discussion. No matter how bad people’s attitudes towards poetry, after all poetry is a shining star in the sky of literature. There are still many points for us to appreciate. Enjoy poems, enjoy your life!

Step 5 Homework

You know one way to stop poems from disappearing is to prove that poetry is alive and around us everywhere. So to hold a poetry festival is a good idea.

Now you are asked to help organize a poetry festival at your school. The festival will take place on two days and it is hoped that the programme will be interesting and varied. Work in groups to discuss and decide about the programme for the festival. Discuss which forms of poetry should be part of the festival and which not

Reference for Teaching

ON THE SEA

John Keats

It keeps eternal whisperings around

Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell

Gluts twice ten thousand Caverns, till the spell

Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound.

Often 'tis in such gentle temper found,

That scarcely will the very smallest shell

Be mov'd for days from where it sometime fell,

When last the winds of Heaven were unbound.

Oh ye! who have your eye-balls vex'd and tir'd,

Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;

Oh ye! who have your eye-balls vex'd and tir'd,

Feast them upon the wideness of the Sea;

Oh ye! whose ears are dinn'd with uproar rude,

Or fed too much with cloying melody -

Sit ye near some old Cavern's Mouth, and brood

Until ye start, as if the sea-nymphs quir'd!

A SOLDIER

Robert Frost

He is that fallen lance that lies as hurled,

That lies unlifted now, come dew, come rust,

But still lies pointed as it ploughed the dust.

If we who sight along it round the world,

See nothing worthy to have been its mark,

It is because like men we look too near,

Forgetting that as fitted to the sphere,

Our missiles always make too short an arc.

They fall, they rip the grass, they intersect

The curve of earth, and striking, break their own;

They make us cringe for metal-point on stone.

But this we know, the obstacle that checked

And tripped the body, shot the spirit on

Further than target ever showed or shone.

The Isles of Greece

George Gordon Byron

The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece!

Where burning Sappho loved and sung,

Where grew the arts of war and peace, --

Where Delos rose and Phoebus sprung!

Eternal summer gilds them yet,

But all, except their sun, is set.

The Scian and the Teian muse,

The hero's harp, the lover's lute,

Have found the fame your shores refuse;

Their place of birth alone is mute

To sounds which echo further west

Than your sires' "Islands of the Blest."

The mountains look on Marathon --

And Marathon looks on the sea;

And musing there an hour alone,

I dream'd that Greece might yet be free

For, standing on the Persians' grave,

I could not deem myself a slave.

哀希臘

拜倫

希臘群島呵，美麗的希臘群島！

火熱的薩弗在這里唱過戀歌；

在這里，戰爭與和平的藝術并興，

狄洛斯崛起，阿波羅躍出海面！

永恒的夏天還把海島鍍成金，

可是除了太陽，一切已經消沉。開奧的繆斯，蒂奧的繆斯，

那英雄的豎琴，戀人的琵琶，

原在你的岸上博得了聲譽，

而今在這發源地反倒喑啞；

呵，那歌聲已遠遠向西流傳，

遠超過你祖先的“海島樂園”。起伏的山巒望著馬拉松－

馬拉松望著茫茫的海波；

我獨自在那里冥想一刻鐘，

夢想希臘仍舊自由而歡樂；

因為，當我在波斯墓上站立，

我不能想象自己是個奴隸。

Don Mclean – Vincent

1.共同點: 現在分詞和過去分詞在句中不能單獨作謂語,但可作定語,表語,賓語補足語,狀語.

分詞作狀語時,其邏輯主語是句子的主語.如:

正確:Looking from the top of the hill, we can see the whole town..

錯誤:Being an orphan, the villagers take good care of the child.

正確:Seen from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.

錯誤:Seeing from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.

2.不同點: 現在分詞有時態和語態的變化;而過去分詞只有一種形式,現在分詞常表”主動”和 “進行”;過去分詞的一般式常表 “被動”和 “完成”.

式語態及物動詞make的主動語態及物動詞make的被動語態

不及物動詞rise

現在分詞一般式 making being made rising

完成式 having made having been made having risen

過去分詞 made risen

3.易混淆點:

a.分詞作伴隨狀語時,若表”正在被……” 的概念,常用過去分詞,而不用現在分詞的被動式.

Followed by some officials, Napoleon inspected his army.

b.現在分詞的完成被動式和過去分詞兩者都可表示 “完成”和 “被動”,但前者更加強調分詞動作明顯先于謂語動作;而后者的時間性不強.

Having been told to stay in Beijing, the boy decided not to return to his village.

*V1*

I can see the first leafs falling

It's all yellow and nice

It's so very cold outside

Like the way I'm feeling inside

*Chorus*

I'm a big big girl

In a big big world

It's not a big big thing if u leave me

But I do do feel

That I too too will

Miss u much

*V2*

Outside it's no raining

And tears are falling from my eyes

Why did it have to happen

Why did it all have to end

*Chorus*

I'm a big big girl

In a big big world

It's not a big big thing if u leave me

But I do do feel

That I too too will

Miss u much

*V3*

I have your arms around me

Warm like fire

But when I open my eyes......

Your gone

*Chorus*

I'm a big big girl

In a big big world

It's not a big big thing if u leave me

But I do do feel

That I too too will

Miss u much

*Repeat Chorus*

I'm a big big girl

In a big big world

It's not a big big thing

If u leave me

But I do

Feel I will

Miss u much

miss u much
