Preview listening and speaking part
Period 2 listening
Teaching Aims:
Improveing the students’ listening ability.
Teaching Difficult points:
1.To teach the students how to grasp the detailed information to finish the listening task.
2.How to make every students active in this lesson.
Teaching Procedures:
Step1. Pre-listening
T:Mmm, it seems poems are really interesting. I’d like to know more about poetry.
But where can I find a certain poem? Are poems put together in collections of poetry?
Maybe these questions can help us.
Who wrote them?
What are they about?
When were they written?
Step 2. While listening
In collections of poetry, poems are put together because they belong to the same group.
They can be sorted by different writers, or they can be sorted by a certain topic or a certain period of time.
1.Listen to the tape and list the name of the books on poems by different writers.
(Suggested answers: A Garden of Poems”
“1001 Songs or Poems in English”
2.Listen to the tape and list the the information of poems by a certain topic
Suggested answers: The topic can be human feeings (humour & love…)
“Poetry about Nature” (flowers, trees, plants & the old countryside)
“The Earth is Painted Green”
3.Poems by a certain period time
Suggested answers: “English Poem of the Early 17th Century”
“Poetry Between the World Wars”
4.OK, Since we learned some about poems. Now let’s listen to the a reader and a woman working in the library. First listen to the tape and tick the words that are used by the woman.
Suggested answer: poem, collection, the World Wars , The countryside and nature
5.Listen to the tape again and answer the following questions.
1).What is the dialogue about?
2)What kind of book is A Garden of Poems?
3)Which period is meant when we say “between the World Wars”?
4)How should you read a book such as 1001 Songs and Poems in English?
5)Which topic for poetry does the student like?
Step 3. Post-listening
1.T: OK. What topic for poetry do you like?
S: …….
T:Sometimes English poems can be read in a really interesting way. Now I’d like you to enjoy one of them.
(A rhyme
Pick an apple
Pick a pear
Pick a banana over there.
Let’s work and let’s play,
Picking apples every day.)
2.Listen and imitate.
Step 4. Listening on the workbook.
Good. I’m really interested in poems and I want to know why our ancestors invent poetry. Do you know the reason. If you don’t know, let’s look at the following questions.
1)Before the invention of writing, was there any other way but to remember important things?
2)Were rhyme and rhythm very helpful when they are trying to remember things?
3)Why did our ancestors invent poetry?
4)What is the listening text about?
Listen to the tape and find out the answers to the questions.
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.
Step 5. Listening and imitating.
T: OK. Poems are helpful to remember things. But what things can they help us remember? Please listen to the following examples and find out some of the ways.
1.We can learn and remember important dates in history using rhyme. The rhyme most famous of these is: “In 1492, Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue” to remember that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered the Americas.
2.There are also short lines to remember how many days each month has. “30 days has September, April, June and November. The rest have 31. Fine! February 28 except when 29.”
3.We can even learn had spelling with words from a short poem. The words ‘receive’ sounds like ‘believe’. But the spelling is not the same. Listen to the following short poem, It is very useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in English and it always works.
“I” before “E” except after “C” or when sounding like [ei] as in “neighbour” and “way”.
Suggested answers:
Rhyme 1 is useful to remember important dates in history. (to remember that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered the Americas)
Rhyme 2 is useful to remember how many days each month has.
Rhyme 3 is useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in English.
Rhymes and rhythms are helpful. Do you use poetry to remember things?
Who sometimes still uses poetry to remember things today?
(Collect answers then listen to the following.)
But people also need to remember practical things such as where to find good cages to sleep, where to find water that could be drunk or when to plant crops. We no longer need poetry to remember things. But it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t or coundn’t use it to help us remember things better.
So anyone who want to remember things better can still use poetry to remember things.
Step 6. Post-listening
You’ve done a good job today. Let’s enjoy some more poems. And you are required to recite some of these poems. You can recite and many as possible. We will check the next period.
1)Women
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.
Forget about the plans that didn’t seem to work out right.
But don’t forget to always have a dream.

Period 4 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 duty report & 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.
T: 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(十四行诗).
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(命运) 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
T: 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.

B. Followed by many students, the teacher came in.
T: Well done, so far we have finished learning the present and past participle used as adverbial. Let’s have a revision and make a comparison.
1.共同点: 现在分词和过去分词在句中不能单独作谓语,但可作定语,表语,宾语补足语,状语.
分词作状语时,其逻辑主语是句子的主语.如:
正确:Looking from the top of the hill, we can see the whole town..
错误:Being an orphan, the villagers take good care of the child.
正确:Seen from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.
错误:Seeing from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.
2.不同点: 现在分词有时态和语态的变化;而过去分词只有一种形式,现在分词常表”主动”和 “进行”;过去分词的一般式常表 “被动”和 “完成”.
式 语态 及物动词make的主动语态 及物动词make的被动语态
不及物动词rise
现在分词 一般式 making being made rising
完成式 having made having been made having risen
过去分词 made risen
3.易混淆点:
a.分词作伴随状语时,若表”正在被……” 的概念,常用过去分词,而不用现在分词的被动式.
Followed by some officials, Napoleon inspected his army.
b.现在分词的完成被动式和过去分词两者都可表示 “完成”和 “被动”,但前者更加强调分词动作明显先于谓语动作;而后者的时间性不强.
Having been told to stay in Beijing, the boy decided not to return to his village.
