Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That can never fly
Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen only with snow
I seek but seek in vain, I search and search again; I feel so sad, so drear, so lonely, without cheer.
声声慢—李清照 寻寻觅觅, 冷冷清清, 凄凄惨惨戚戚。
Why do people write poems?
梦想 兰斯顿·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想, 千万别让它消亡, 否则生活就像鸟儿断了翅膀, 再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想, 千万别让它消亡, 否则生活就像严冬的荒野, 遍地布满冰霜。
If you would ask me how my sorrow has increased, Just see the over-brimming river flowing east!
虞美人 —— 李煜 问君能有几多愁, 恰似一江春水向东流。
I look for her in vain. When all at once I turn my head, I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
There are many reasons why people write poems. In small groups make a list of these reasons.

Book 6 Unit2 Poems Writing a simple poem/ I will turn poet!Teacher:Type:WritingDuration: 40 minutesTeaching material and learning conditionThe analysis of teaching materialThe teaching task is the writing part from Unit 2 of the New Senior English for China Student’s Book 6. One of the example materials is from the reading part in the same unit. And some other poems are from the Internet or some ancient Chinese poems. The topic of this unit is poems. This part mainly requires students to imitate the examples to write a poem with subjunctive mood and a little poem with rhymes (according to a piece of music) to acquire the learning strategies of learning words by writing a poem, listing rhyme words to make the vocabulary easy to memorize and remembering words by singing the songs that one have made up.The analysis of learning conditionThe students are from Grade 2 in senior high school. As high school students, they have achieved certain English level and they have the ability to know the listed rhyme words; at least, they can look up the new words via multiple tools. And Exercise 1 asks the class to complete a list poem together. This is an easy form of poem to write and allows students to use their imaginations to write some creative lines. Through previous reading and listening, they are familiar with the topic of poems and know some basic rules about poems, say rhyme. But they may not write an English poem before. Moreover, they may be familiar with some famous ancient Chinese poems, but their vocabulary is limited so they may have difficulties in translating the sentences into English.Teaching aims:1. Students acquire the learning strategy that listing words that rhyme is a good way to remember vocabulary, that writing poems is also a good way to learn vocabulary and that singing along with our favorite songs is a fun way to practice our English. (学习策略)2. Students broaden their minds by knowing something about English poems.(文化知识)3. Students experience the beauties in poems both in Chinese and English via the multiple translating tasks and are cultivated to appreciate the beauty in Chinese poems and willing to spread it around in English. (情感态度之祖国意识和国际视野)4. Students learn to translate some Chinese poems into English lines with subjective mood and a little poem with rhyme words.(语言技能之写,语言知识之语法)5. Students improve the skills to cooperate with team members by writing a poem together. (情感态度之合作精神)Teaching methods:1. Cooperative learning. (合作学习)2. Task-based learning (任务驱动型学习)3. Translation-based learning (翻译法)4. Suggestopedia (暗示法)5. Conscious Practice Learning (自觉实践法)6. Silent Way (沉默法)Teaching aidsMultimedia devices and PPT documents,some big pieces of paper for each group to display their poems.Teaching proceduresStep 1 Pre-writingTask 1. Warming up Translate the little poem into Chinese.

Book 6Unit 2PoemsⅠ.阅读理解(2019·黑龙江哈尔滨师大附中模拟)Gwendolyn Brooks was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature.Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime.She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor,racial inequality and drug use in the black community.She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people.She was an expert at the language of poetry.She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry,Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago.The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live.In her poems,the South Side is called Bronzeville.It was A Street in Bronze v ille that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time.The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950,Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature.She won the prize for her second book of poems called Annie Allen.Annie Allen is a collection of poetry about the life of a Bronzeville girl as a daughter,wife and mother.She experiences loneliness,loss,death and being poor.Ms Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called Maud Martha.Maud Martha received little notice when it was first published.But now it is considered an important work by some critics.Its main ideas about the difficult life of many women are popular among female writers today.In some of her poems,Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are.One example is this poem,Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s,Gwendolyn Brooks’s poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville.She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.话篇解读本文主要介绍了著名女诗人格温德林·布鲁克斯的诗歌成就及作品特点。

When you are old and grey 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 shadow deep. How many loved your moments of glad grace, And love your beauty with love false or true. But one man love the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrow of your changing face.

英文詩的讀法
我們所居住的這個世界,充滿了各種不同的聲音和旋律。
捕捉住那充滿在天地間的美妙旋律,並把它改變為語言的旋律,這就是詩。
詩,是文學中的花園。
在詩中,這種旋律稱為韻律。
英文詩一般都是把強音節和弱音節交互配列。
換句話說,就是情感的旋律,表現而為聲音的強弱和抑揚的起伏。
而其配列,有的是規則的,也有的是並不規則的。
又因為其組合的不同,而有不同的名稱。
在所有的文學類型中,詩的情感最廣且深。
它用簡短的語詞,唱出各色人的心聲,它還具有能使各個不同的人的心靈相通的表現法。
要想品味詩的美,如果知道一些有關韻律法的法則,就會方便得多。
其實與其只研究形式方面,不如努力多去體會詩中所涵蘊的意義,才更重要。
換句話說,與其研究詩人,為了將自己的理想、情感傳達給讀者,而運用的技巧---韻律法,不如用心鑑賞詩人寄託在詩中的思想和情感本身,才更重要。
1.Rain 雨
Rain is falling all around, 雨兒在到處降落,
It falls on field and tree, 它落在田野和樹梢,
It rains on the umbrella here, 它落在這邊的雨傘上,
And on the ships at sea. 又落在航行海上的船隻。
-------- by R. L. Stevenson, 1850-1894
2.What Does The Bee Do? 蜜蜂做些什麼呢?
What does the bee do? 蜜蜂做些什麼?
Bring home honey. 把蜂蜜帶回家。
And what does Father do? 父親做些什麼?
Bring home money. 把錢帶回家。
And what does Mother do? 母親做些什麼?
Lay out the money. 把錢用光。
And what does baby do?嬰兒做些什麼?
Eat up the honey. 把蜜吃光。
--------- by C. G. Rossetti, 1830-1894
3.O Sailor, Come Ashore 啊!水手,上岸吧
(Part I)
O sailor, come ashore 啊!水手,上岸吧What have you brought for me? 你給我帶來什麼?
Red coral , white coral, 海裏的珊瑚,
Coral from the sea. 紅的,白的。
(Part II)
I did not dig it from the ground 它不是我從地下挖的,
Nor pluck it from a tree; 也不是從樹上摘的;
Feeble insects made it 它是暴風雨的海裹
In the stormy sea. 弱小昆蟲做成的。
~by C. G. Rossetti
4.THE WIND 風
(Part I)
Who has seen the wind? 誰曾見過風的面貌?
Neither I nor you; 誰也沒見過,不論你或我;
But when the leaves hang trembling, 但在樹葉震動之際,The wind is passing through. 風正從那裡吹過。
(Part II)
Who has seen the wind? 誰曾見過風的面孔?
Neither you nor I; 誰也沒見過,不論你或我;
But when the trees bow down their heads, 但在樹梢低垂之際,The wind is passing by. 風正從那裡經過。
~by C. G. Rossetti
另一首詩人的風之歌
O wind , why do you never rest, 風啊!為何你永不休止Wandering, whistling to and fro, 來來回回的漂泊,呼嘯Bring rain out of the west, 從西方帶來了雨
From the dim north bringing snow? 從矇矓的北方帶來了雪。
5.THE CUCKOO 布穀鳥
In April, 四月裏,
Come he will, 牠就來了,
In May, 五月裏,
Sing all day, 整天吟唱多逍遙,
In June, 六月裏,
Change his tune, 牠在改變曲調,
In July, 七月裏,
Prepare to fly, 準備飛翔,
In August, 八月裏,
Go he must! 牠就得離去了!
~by Mother Goose's Nursery Rhyme
