‎ 2018届人教版选修6一轮复习：Unit2Poems单元教案设计 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。‎ Comprehending 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（和过去事实相反）的用法 III．教学计划 本单元分五课时：‎ 第一课时：Warming Up, Pre-reading & Reading (1)‎ 第二课时：Reading (2), Comprehending, Reading Task 第三课时：Learning about Language ‎ ‎ 第四、五课时：Using Language & Listening, Speaking and Writing ‎ IV．教学步骤：‎ Period 1 Warming up, Pre-reading, Reading (1)‎ Teaching Goals: ‎ ‎1.

To get Ss to learn more about English poems.‎ ‎ 2. To get Ss to appreciate some more English poems.‎ ‎ 3. To train Ss’ listening, speaking and writing ability.‎ Teaching Procedures:‎ Step 1. Warming Up.‎ Purpose: To lead Ss to the topic and arouse the Ss’ interest in the next new poem.‎ ‎ ‎ Ask Ss to take a look at the above pictures and discuss the questions below:‎ 1. Do you like summer? And which part of summer do you like better?‎ 2. What kind of sports do you like to do in summer?‎ 3. How will you spend your next summer holiday?‎ Step 2. Listening.‎ Listen to the poem “I’ve saved the summer”, and discuss in pairs and answer some questions about it.‎ Q1 Do you think the speaker in the poem is more likely to be a girlfriend / boyfriend or a parent?‎ Q2 Does the poem have arrhythmic pattern?‎ Q3 Does the poem have rhyming words?‎ Q4 When you were listening to the poem, did it make you feel something or think about something? What did it make you feel or think about?‎ Suggested answers:‎ A1 The speaker in the poem is more likely to be a parent. ‎ A. Yes. (It has two strong beats per line.)‎ A3 Yes. ‎ A4 Various answers are acceptable.‎ Step 3. Reading and appreciating ‎ Purpose: To get some details and learn the meaning of the poem.‎ ‎1. Brainstorming ‎ ‎(1) Ask Ss to circle the words that rhyme. What is unusual about the rhyming words in the last four lines?‎ ‎(2) Try beating or clapping the strong beats of the rhythm as you read the poem to yourself. Now listen to the poem again and clap the strong beats. ‎ Suggested Answers: ‎ ‎ (1) Circle words: you / new, need / feed, nineteen / mean, way / day, own / own. The rhyming words in the last four lines are unusual because they are the same word (although they each have a different meaning). ‎ ‎ (2) The strong beats of the rhythm are marked below. ‎ I’ve saved the summer ‎ And I give it all to you To hold on winter mornings ‎ When the snow is new. ‎ I’ve saved some sunlight. ‎ If you should ever need ‎ A place away from darkness Where you mind can feed. ‎ And for myself I’ve kept your smile When you were but nineteen, ‎ Till you’ve older you’ll know ‎ What brave young smiles can mean.‎ I know no answers ‎ To help you on your way The answer lie somewhere At the bottom of the day. ‎ But if you’ve a need for love I’ll give you all I own ‎ It might help you down the road ‎ Till you’ve found your own. ‎ ‎2. Group work In small groups discuss these questions.‎ ‎(1) Who is the speaker in the poem and who is he / she speaking to? Give reasons to support your answer. ‎ ‎ (2) Which of the following is the closest to the speaker’s message? Give a reason for your choice. ‎ A. If it’s cold, I’ll warm you; if it’s dark, I’ll give you light; if you’re hungry, I’ll feed you; if you want love, I’ll give it to you.‎ B. Although the future may be difficult for you, whenever you need warmth and love, remember I’ll have some to give you.‎ C. While you’re away I’ll remember your smile and I’ll love you always. When you return, I hope you will love me.‎ Suggested Answers: ‎ ‎ ①. A parent (mother or father) is speaking to a young adult child (son or daughter). ‎ ‎ Many of the phrases imply that the speaker is an older person who has experienced their own journey through life and who is offering love to the young person to help him / her begin on his / her own journey through life. For example, I’ve saved the summer … and I’ve saved some sunlight … When the speaker says Till you’ve older … he / she is implying that he / she is much older than the young person (that is, till you’re older like me). The parent also says that although he / she does not know the answers to life’s questions (I know no answers to help you on your way). We know that the speaker is probably a parent because he / she is offering the child unconditional love (But if you’ve a need for love, I’ll give you all I own). We know that the son / daughter is a young adult because the speaker refers to the time when you were but nineteen. ‎ ‎ ②. B. ‎ Step 4. Listening.‎ l Purpose: 1.
