T: yes, poetry. From now on, we will begin a mysterious trip of poetry--Unit 4: a garden of poems. Here “poem” means 诗,它是指一首具体的诗。It is a countable noun. We can say “a poem” or “poems”. For example, we can say “a love poem”. Well, the word “poetry” refers to 诗歌，它是指诗歌的总称。So it is an uncountable noun. Is that clear?
Ss: yes.
T: Ok. Who are the people that write poems?
Ss: poet.
T: yes, we call them poet. Can you name some famous poets in China?
Ss: ……
T: very good. So many. Now, I’d like to introduce you two of them. Who is he?
(show a picture of Li Bai on the Blackboard)
Ss: Li Bai.

T: Good job. (show a poem written by Li Bai on slide 1)
So from his poems, we can see that Li Bai is full of imagination, right? His poems are always very romantic. So we say Li Bai is a representative of Romanticism. What about another famous poet? Who is he?
（show a picture of Du Fu on the blackboard）
Ss: Du Fu.
T: yes, you’ve got it. Do you know any of his poems?
Ss: ……
T: Wonderful, thank you. Compared with Li Bai, most of his poems present us a real life in that period. For example, “朱门酒肉臭，路有冻死骨” . It tells us the living condition of the people at that time, right?
Ss: yes
T: So, we call Du Fu realistic poet. Now, I’d like to take a poem written by Du Fu for example.
(show a poem written by Du Fu on slide 2)
Xxx, would you please read it for us?
S1: (reading)
T: Thank you very much. Well, can you understand the meaning of this poem?

T: I don’t know, either. I think if we don’t know the background of the poem and some necessary explanations, it will be very difficult for us to understand a traditional poem, right?
Ss: yes
T: Well, what about this one? Who’d like to read it for us?
(show a Chinese limerick on slide 3)
S3: (reading)
T: Do you think it is easier to understand?
Ss: yes
T: I’m sure all of us know what it talks about. Actually, we call such kind of poem “limerick”.
Step 3: Warming-up (5 minutes)
T: A limerick is a special, funny poem. It is very easy to understand. It is written just to make others laugh. Now, would you please open your textbook and turn to page 25. There are two limericks. Each one tells us a story. Let’s read the first one together and see what has happened. Ok, a large lady, one two start……
Ss: (reading)
T: Thanks for your sweet voice. Now who can tell me what’s wrong with the large lady?
S4: There wasn’t a door she’d get through.
T: yes. She can’t get through a door. Do you know why?
Ss: Because she’s too fat.
T: Oh, too terrible. She’s so fat that she can’t get through a door. What about the second one? It seems that there is something wrong with that man. I’ll read it for you. Please listen to me carefully and then tell me what is the matter. Ok?
Ss: ok.
(Read the limerick and explain some difficult words.)
T: Can you understand the meaning of this poem? It talks about a teacher, right? Well, what’s wrong with him?
S5: He was as mad as a door.
T: I’ve heard the correct answer. He was as mad as a door. Maybe he was too active. Well, I think I’m also very active. Am I as mad as a door?
Ss: No.
T: Really? Thank you. How lucky I am! Do you think these two poems interesting or uninteresting?
Ss: interesting.
T: So we say the style of this poem is interesting. That is what we call limerick, a special and funny poem, right?
Step 4: Discussion (10 minutes)
T: Ok, up till now, we have collected several words to describe different styles of poems. Well, what other words will we need to talk about poems? Now, would you please form a group of four and have a discussion.
What other words will we need to talk about poems? Are you clear?
Ss: yes

Ⅸ.Teaching Procedure:
Step 1: Greeting. (1 minute)
Step 2: Pre-listening (7 minutes)
T: Since Monday we have talked so much about poetry, especially English poetry. Have you ever planned to read some English poems?
Ss: No.
T: Really? What a pity! Well, I find it very interesting. I’d like to know more about poetry. So during the seven-day holiday, I went to my teacher and asked for some suggestions. First, he asked me: “What would you like to read?” I said: “I don’t know.” And then he asked me: “Do you have any favorite poets?” I said: “No, I don’t know.” At that time, he was very surprised, at last he said: “Ok, maybe you can read this book first. You can find a topic or a poet that you like best, and then I’ll give you more advice.”
Look, this is the book that my teacher advised me to read. There are a lot of famous poets and great poems inside. So we call it a collection of poems. It includes a lot of things. I believe it will help me a lot. Maybe I’ll become a great woman poet some day. if you want to read some poems, you can ask me for help; you can ask your own English teacher Miss Cao for help; and you also can ask a librarian for help when you go to library, right? Here is a conversation between a librarian and a student. The student wants to read some poems but he doesn’t know where to start. And the librarian gives him some suggestions. I think you will learn something fro their conversation.
Step 3: while-listening (25 minutes)
T: Now please open your textbook and turn to page 25, listening. Totally, I’ll play the tape three times. For the first time, would you please draw the main idea of the dialogue and finish exercise 1. Are you clear?
Ss: yes
T: Ok, now let’s have a look at exercise 1 to see if there are some new words.
……
T: Ok, are you ready?
Ss: yes.
T: Ok, here we go.
(listen to the tape for the first time)
T: Stop here. Who’d like to tell us the answer?
S1: ……
T: Good. Thank you. Now let’s have a look at exercise 2. (explain the requirement of exercise 2)
This time please listen to the tape more carefully and take some notes while you are listening. Ready? Go!
(listen to the tape for the second time)
T: Is it difficult?
Ss: yes.
T: Take it easy. Just have a try, ok? The first question, any volunteers?
S2: A conversation between a librarian and a student.
T: Good. It’s mainly about a student who is looking for some poems to read. The next one?
S3: It’s a collection of poems.
T: Well done. Just like my book, right? It’s a collection of poems. The third one?
S4: ……
T: I think this one may be a bit difficult. Let’s listen again later and then find the answer to this question, ok?
Thank you all the same. Sit down, please. Let’s see question number 5 first.
S5: He likes reading about nature.
T: yes. His favorite topic is nature. While his favorite poet is William Shakespeare, right?
Great! You did a good job. Now let’s listen to the tape for the last time and find the answer to question number 4, ok?
Ss: ok.
(listen to the tape for the third time)
T: Have you found the answer?
S6: Just choose something you like to read.
T: Perfect. You should not read all the poems but go through them and only read those which you like from looking at the title, the topic or the first or last line. Just choose something you like. A very smart answer.
So much for our textbook. I won’t let you do the exercise 3. Let’s see something different.
Step 4: post-listening. (12 minutes)
T: Just now, we have learnt where to start if we want to read some poems, right? So, following the principle, I read my book and choose one of them. I’d like to share this poem with. But unluckily, I missed some words. Would you please help me to complete the blanks, ok?
Ss: ok.
T: Let’s listen to the tape and do the blank filling.
(several minutes later)
T: You’ve got it, right?
Ss: yes
T: It’s easy. The missing words are……
Ss: moments, beauty, true, soul, face.
T: Correct. Now let’s go into that poem together. This is a love poem written by famous Irish poet William Butler Yeats. When he was 24 years old, he met an actress named Maud Gonne. Quickly he fell in love with her. So he expressed his love to her, unluckily refused. Five years later, Yeats wrote this poem, expressing his deep love. In 1903, Maud was married, however, his husband died during a battle in 1913. So again Yeats showed his love to Maud, but again refused. In 1917, Yeats married another woman at last. He practised his words in the poem with precious 26-year youth. Are you moved by such a romantic story?
Ss: yes.
T: Now, let’s listen to the tape again, looking at the Chinese version. Here we go.
(several minutes later)
T: Very attractive voice. Let’s end our class in such a romantic atmosphere. Thanks for your attention. See you!
Ss: See you.

Slide：
When You Are Old
by William Butler Yeats
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your _____of glad grace,
And loved your ____ with love false of ____;
But one man loved the pilgrim ____ in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing ____;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
《当你老去》
当你老了，头白了，睡思昏沉，
炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，
回想它们过去的浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你年轻欢畅的时候，
爱慕你的美貌，出于假意或者真心，
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你已改的容颜痛苦的皱纹。
躬身在红光闪耀的炉火旁，
凄然低语，爱为何消逝，
它漫步走上高高的山峦，
将脸庞隐没在了群星间。

Ⅸ. Teaching Procedure:
Step 1: greeting and revision (2 minutes)
T: Good morning, girls.
Ss: Good morning, Miss Luo.
T: Yesterday, we started our trip of poetry. We mentioned a lot of things. Some new words and some famous poets in china, right?Ss: yes
Step 2: pre-reading (3 minutes)
(Adopt paragraph 2 as a lead-in part of the whole passage.)
T: Well, who are the two famous poets we have talked about yesterday?
Ss: Li Bai and Du Fu.
T: yes, Li Bai and Du Fu. Well, when did they live? Which dynasty did they live in?
Ss: The Tang Dynasty.
T: Quite right. As we know, in China Tang is a most brilliant period for poems, right? There are a lot of famous poets at that time, such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Wang Wei, Bai Juyi as well as my ancestor Luo Binwang. Are there any other periods that are also very famous for poems?
Ss: The Song Dynasty.
T: Good. Can you name some famous poets at that time?Ss: ……
T: Excellent. So we say Tang and Song are the most splendid periods in the history of Chinese poetry. Poems produced in those two periods stand out in the halls of glory.
Step 3: while-reading (30 minutes)
(Deal with paragraph 3, 4 and 5)
1. Fast-reading (10 minutes)
T: What about English poetry? Now, please open your textbook and turn to page 28. Let’s have a look at paragraph three, four and five first. Please listen to the tape carefully and find out how many periods have been mentioned in the passage? Is that clear?
Ss: yes
T: Ok, here we go.
(Several minutes later)
T: Who’d like to tell us the answer? How many periods?
S1: There are three periods.
T: Three? Are you sure? Do you agree with her? Ok, after we finish these paragraphs, I’d like you to answer this question again, to see whether there are three periods or more. Ok?
S1: Ok.
T: Thank you. No matter how many periods there are, do you think English poetry has a long history like Chinese?
Ss: No.
T: Of course not. Generally speaking, we can divide the history of English poetry into five periods:
1. The Renaissance Period 2. The Neoclassical Period 3. The Romantic Period 4 .The Victorian Period 5. The Modern Period
But the earliest work of poetry appeared after 14th century. So we say it doesn’t have a long history.
2. Intensive-reading (20 minutes)
T: Despite its short history, there are a lot of good English poets around. This time, would you please read the third paragraph more carefully and answer the questions on the screen?
1. How many poets are there in paragraph 3? Who are they?
2. Whose poetry reminds Chinese readers of the poems by Su Dongpo?
3. What is the poetry of John Milton famous for?Are you clear?Ss: yes
(Several minutes later)
T: Have you finished yet? The first question: How many poets are there in paragraph 3?
Ss: Four
T: Who are they? xxx would you please?
S2: They are William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne and Alexander Pope.
T: Good. Thank you. There are four poets, right? William Shakespeare, John Milton, John Donne and Alexander Pope. What about the second question? Any volunteers?
S3: John Donne.
T: Correct. Thank you. The poetry of John Donne reminds Chinese readers of the poems by Su Dongpo. Do you know why? Because of his use of surprising images. So the term “metaphysical poetry” is commonly used to the work of the 17th-century writers who wrote under the influence of John Donne. And 《The Rising Sun》is his most famous work..
Well, what about John Milton? What is his poetry famous for?
S4: The poetry of John Milton is famous for the absence of rhyme.
T: Thanks for your smart answer. John Milton is the 2nd greatest poet in England. He left us three great works: 《Paradise Lost》、《Paradise Regained》 and 《Samson Agonists》. While, do you know in which situation John Milton created these three works? When he was blind and suffering. Don’t you think we can learn something from him?
After we have mentioned two famous poets, there is one master who we can’t omit in the history of English poetry. Who is he?
Ss: William Shakespeare.
T: Yes, he is William Shakespeare. Yesterday I asked you to look for some information about Shakespeare, right? Now who’d like to say something about Shakespeare?
Ss: ……
T: Quite good. Compared with other poets, I think, we are more familiar with William Shakespeare, especially his drama, right?
Ss: yes
T: Can you name some of his plays?
Ss: ……
T: Actually, his plays include many aspects: history plays, comedy and tragedy. Among them, I think his comedies and tragedies are more famous. There are four comedies. Let’s see. Maybe you’ll know some of them.
1.《A midsummer Night’s Dream》2.《The merchant of Venice》3.《Twelfth Night》4.《The Merry Wives Of Windsor》
And there are four greatest tragedies:1.《Hamlet》2.《Othello》3.《King Lear》4.《Mac Beth》
Besides these four greatest tragedies, there are another two famous tragedies. I’m sure you are very familiar with one of them. Let’s see. One is Julius Caesar, and what about another one?Ss: 《Romeo and Juliet》
T: yes. Do you like it?
Ss: yes.
T: I’m very glad to hear that. So we say Shakespeare is one of the most remarkable playwrights. On the other hand, he is also a very excellent poet. All his life, he created 154 sonnets and 2 long poems. And his poems are always about pure love and deep friendship. You see, how great Shakespeare is! So much for Shakespeare. Now I’d like you to pay attention to the time. Have you found that John Donne, John Milton, William Shakespeare, all of them were the poets during late 16th century and 17th century. So which period did they belong to?
Ss: The Renaissance Period.
T: yes. What about Alexander Pope? Do you think they are in the same period?
Ss: No.
T: From the end of paragraph 3, we can know that Pope was a poet in 18th century, right?
Ss: yes.
T: So we say he was a poet during The Neoclassical Period. Actually paragraph 3 gives us some information about two different periods, right? Well, now, xxx would you please tell us how many periods have been mentioned in our passage?
S1: Four.
T: That’s right, thank you. How time flies! The windmill of the time accompanied us going through the Renaissance and the Neoclassical Period. And now it brings us to the third stop--The Romantic Period. It also produced a great number of good poets. I’ll read paragraph 4 for you. Please listen to me carefully and find out answers to these questions:
1. According to this paragraph, how many poets are there in this period? Who are they?
2. Byron’s Isles of Greece is an example of what?
3. Whose poetry reminds Chinese readers of Du Fu or Li Bai? Are you clear?
Ss: yes.
(Reading)
T: Ok, now I will ask some of you to give me your answers. I think the first one is easy. Let’s answer it together. How many?
Ss: There are three.
T: Good. Who are they? Any volunteers?
S5: They are John Keats, William Wordsworth and George Gordon Byron.
T: Very good. Are you clear? Shall I say it again?
Ss: No.
T: Ok. What about the next one? Actually it is a question from post-reading--multiple choice, number 3. Well, which one do you choose? Is it a sonnet or romantic poetry or nature poetry or modern one?
Ss: B. Romantic poetry.
T: yes, very good. Here, I’d like to tell you more about Byron and his work.
Byron was considered to be the representative of romantic poetry. As a leading Romanticist,, his chief contribution is his creation of “Byronic Hero”. When he was 19 years old, he published his first collection of poems: 《Hours of Idleness》. But his masterpiece is 《Don Juan》, a great comic epic of the early 19th century. Here, in our textbook, Isles of Greece is a part of that masterpiece. It is mainly about a tragic lot of Greece. By the way, although Byron was born in a noble family, he still showed his empathy to these suffering people. He is a kind man, right? But unluckily, he died when he was only 36 years old. Very young, right? While, at the same time we have another famous poet who had a long life. Who is he?
Ss: William Wordsworth.
T: yes. He is regarded as the beginning of real romanticism. Together with another two famous poets, they were known as “lake poets”. So the poetry of Byron, John Keats and Wordsworth reminds Chinese readers of the poems by Li Bai and Du Fu. This is the answer to the third question. Have you got it?
Ss: yes.
T: Ok. We sill leave the last period. Now let’s read paragraph 5 together. Finally, one two start……
(reading)
T: Here I won’t deal with the poet in Modern period in details. If you are interested in Robert Frost, you can discuss with me after class or surf on the internet. Ok?Ss: Ok.
T: Up till now we have mentioned a lot of poets n different periods. Shall we finish exercise 3 in post-reading together?
Ss: Ok.(Do the exercise and check the answers.)
Step4: Discussion (5 minutes)
(Deal with the last two paragraphs)
T: Totally there are four periods, right? Well, each period has its own characteristics. On the other hand, every poet has his own style, right?
Ss: yes
T: So, how can we understand them? Basically, they speak English, but we speak Chinese. If I know nothing about English, what shall I do? Who can help me?
S6: I think we need a translator.
T: yes, a translator may do something. Well, if a poem is translated into another language, is it still the same poem? What are some differences? Now, please read the last two paragraphs and have a discussion with your desk-mates. Then I will invite some of you to help me to solve this problem. Clear?
Ss: yes
T: Ok. Now read and discuss with your partner.
(several minutes later)
T: Stop here, please. Now, who can help me?
S7: ……
T: Very good. Thank you very much. No matter how well a poem is translated, something of the spirit of the original work is lost. So we’d better learn English well, thus we can read poetry in English.
Step 5: Post-reading (3 minutes)
(Adopt the first paragraph as a conclusion of the whole passage)
T: So, today, we have learnt a lot of things about English poetry, including some famous poets and their representative works, right? Ss: yes T: Although we are Chinese, they are English; although we are modern people, they are ancient men; poetry can bring us together, right? Just as Mu Dan wrote: Quietly, we embrace in a world lit up by words.
Step 6: Homework (2 minutes)
