课 时 教 案 课题：Reading (2) U4B4 第　2　课时 总序第20个教案 课型： New lesson 编写时间:2024年9月23日 执教时间：2024年9月26日 教学目标： 批　注 appreciate a poem following the four tips; 教学重点： appreciate a poem following the four tips; 教学难点：appreciate a poem following the four tips; 教学用具：Multi-media 教学方法：Group work, discussion 教学实施过程： 1. Have students read paragraphs 4 and 5 and answer the following questions. (1) What should you do when you have difficulty in understanding a poem? When we have difficulty in understanding a poem, we should set it aside and come back to it later. With our insight into life becoming deeper, we may one day find it not so hard to understand at all. (2) According to the lecturer, what is more important in appreciating a poem? Poetry reading can make us feel something or let us perceive another level of meaning, which is more important and worth our effort. 2. Have students answer question 1 of A3 on page 46. Choose one of the poems in the lecture transcript and think about the sound and sense of the poem. How does it make you feel? The poem by Maya Angelou describes the image of a caged bird wanting to be free. The lines are short and simple, which makes the message more direct and powerful. The short lines could also imply the sense of being in a small cage with very little space to fly around in. This does not stop the bird from singing though and by repeating the sound of some words: “trill”, “still” and “hill” I can imagine the sound that the bird makes as it sings its 批　注 lonely song. “Caged Bird” reminds me of the possibilities we have in life, and that we should look past our current limitations. 3. Have students read the lecture transcript again and discuss the following questions. (1) What are the functions of the three poems quoted in this transcript? The first example (lines from “Sweet and Low” by Alfred Tennyson) sounds great with strong rhythm and it is written in rhyme. The lecturer uses it to support the tip of “follow your ears”. The second example (lines from “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou) includes several images. By using it, the lecturer suggests paying attention to images in poems when reading a poem. The third example (lines from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost) is not easy to understand, which is suitable as an example to support the tip of “be patient when having trouble in understanding a poem”. (2) Why doesn’t the lecturer quote a poem as an example to support the fourth tip? By giving the fourth tip, the lecturer emphasizes that the importance of reading poems lies in what the poem can make us feel or perceive. Unlike the previous three tips, this tip is not focusing on the ways to understand a poem, but on what attitude and expectations we should have when reading a poem. As a result, it is unnecessary to give an example of a poem to support this tip since it is not related to the understanding of the content or meaning of a poem. 4. Have students read the last paragraph again and discuss in pairs the following question. Is the last paragraph a good ending? Why or why not? The last paragraph is a good ending. At the beginning of the lecture, the speaker points out that poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”. The last paragraph echoes the beginning by mentioning it again, which makes the lecture more coherent. 教学反思： 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
