1、Unit 2 Poems 教材分析 I教学内容分析 本单元的中心话题是诗歌。文中涉及诗歌的韵律、节奏，并介绍了几种简单的不同内 容和形式的诗歌。本单元引导学生讨论这些内容，目的在于让他们了解诗歌的一些基本特 征和写作方法，自己尝试写简单的诗歌，并学会欣赏这些优美的文学作品。 Warming up 部分围绕诗歌（poems）这一话题设置了三个问题。前两个问题引导学生 回顾儿时以及学生时代所接触的汉英诗歌，第三个问题引导学生探讨写诗的目的。 Pr-reading 部分主要让学生认识诗歌的种类和不同国家诗歌的文化差异。该部分设置 了两个练习，第一个练习让学生交流所喜爱的诗歌；第二个练习就阅读课文设计
2、图表，让 学生从内容和写作风格两个方面认识阅读课文中的诗歌。 Reading 部分介绍了几种简单的英语诗歌。第一段统领全文，阐述写诗的目的，即 叙事或表达情感。由此自然地引导到下文：诗歌的种类。从第二段开始，分析不同种类的 诗歌，并举例说明。儿歌节奏明快、韵律和谐、朗朗上口、不断重复、利于记忆，是语言 学习的有效手段。清单诗，尤其是那些不断重复短语和节奏的诗歌，比较容易创作。五行 诗，顾名思义，由五行组成，寥寥数语，言简意赅。俳句起源于日本，由 17 个音节组成。 它虽然非传统的英语诗歌，但为英语国家的人们所喜爱。英语国家也借鉴了中国的唐诗， 许多唐诗被翻译成英文，广为传诵。 Comprehe
3、nding 部分的重点放在文中的几首诗歌上。练习 1 首先要求学生找出文章的 主题，列举文中介绍的五种诗歌形式，用自己的语言讲述文中几首诗的主题，用心领会诗 中的意象，找出两首节奏感强的诗歌，击掌诵读；找出押韵的两首诗，并圈出押韵的词。 练习 2 主要让学生去感悟这几首诗歌所表达的内涵。最后，练习 3 要求学生欣赏诗歌，找 出最喜欢的诗歌，并阐明理由。 Learning about language 的词汇部分设置了三个练习。第一个练习通过从课文诗歌中 找出押韵的词来帮助学生理解诗歌的韵脚；第二个练习要求学生运用生词完成段落填空； 第三个练习则给予学生自主学习词汇的机会，让学生通过对比分析了解
4、词汇在文中的含义 并能自己造句。语法部分共四项练习，首先，学生找出阅读篇章中包含虚拟证据的诗歌， 根据对这一语法项目的认识和了解，完成句子匹配练习，然后用所给词的适当形式填空， 最后根据所给情景写清单诗，并在诗中适当运用虚拟语气。 Using language 部分综合训练听说读写的能力。听、读和讨论部分把听力和阅读训练 结合起来。通过听理解诗歌的内容，辨认写诗歌的人的身份、诗歌的节律，并表达诗歌所 激起的联想。然后，让学生边打拍子边朗读，在欣赏中加深对诗歌的理解。最后，通过翻 译诗句巩固理解。听和说部分有三个学生与老师交谈，围绕诗歌比赛展开。该部分还设置 了五个练习，写的部分要求学生模仿诗歌
5、 C 以 If I 开头写清单诗；或以 Slowly 开头写诗。 Summing up 部分要求学生就诗歌的类型、节奏、押韵，本单元词语和结构，以及本 单元日常交际用语等方面进行自我评价，判定学习情况；了解还需要进一步改进的地方。 Learning tip 部分指出写诗、唱歌是理解和记忆词汇，学习语言的有效方法。 II教学重点和难点 1教学重点 (1) 本单元的生词和短语 (2) 虚拟语气的用法 (3) 了解英语诗歌的类别、节奏以及韵律等。 2教学难点 (1) 了解不同内容和形式的诗歌，并学会欣赏 (2) 学习有关诗歌的词汇 (3) 学会表达意图的日常交际用语 (4) 学习虚拟语气（和过去事实
