人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练5.【Unit 2 Period 1】及答案解析

人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练5.【Unit2Period1】及答案解析Ⅰ.阅读理解APoetry is one of the important art forms of literature,and is an easy way to express your feelings.Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way.Some find relief in poems;some read them simply for peace;some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.There are some special features of poetry,which make it quite different from other forms of literature.First of all,poems have rhythmic patterns.Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm.Poems may have rhyme,but they don’t have to.The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form,there are mainly three types:Lyrics(抒情诗):The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story.Lyrics always bear song-like appeal.These are mainly short poems.Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy(挽歌),theode(颂歌)and the sonnet(十四行诗).William Shakespeare,Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.Narrative poems:This type of poetry tells a story.Narrative poems are usually long poems.Epics(史诗)and ballads fall under this type.Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton,Dante,Edgar Allan Poe,Alexander Pope, William Shakespeare,etc.Dramatic poems:Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem.These poems generally tell a story. Black verse,dramatic monologues and closet drama belong to this type.William Shakespeare,Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the great dramatic poets.Whatever the form is,one thing,which cannot be denied,is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.【语篇概述】本文主要讲了诗歌的一些特点以及诗歌的几个类别。

PresentationAsk Ss to think back and try to remember poems from their early childhood, either in Chinese or in English.Talk about some famous poets both home and abroad, either ancient ones or modern ones.Brainstorming: What will you think of when we talk about the word “poem〞?Step 3. Warming upRead the questions in this part, reminding Ss what they notice about the above poems.(e.g. they have a strong beat, or they have rhyme, or they play with words and sounds, or perhaps some of them are funny because they make no sense.)Tell Ss that there are many reasons why people write poetry. Give the examples on the Bb. Ask Ss why they think the poets wrote the poems they have just recited.. Write their suggestions on the board.Give Ss a time limit of a few minutes. Divide the class into groups of four to discuss the purpose of writing poems. Ask one person from each group to read their group’s list and add their suggestions to the list on the board. (Suggested reasons: to create certain feelings or images in the reader; to share a feeling or experience; to describe something in detail or give an impression; to get the reader to think about an idea; to express a point of view; to make the reader experience the sight, sounds, smells, feel and tastes of something; to create a mood, to play with words--- their sounds, rhyme and rhythm.)If time permits, in small groups or as a class, discuss the kinds of topics that poets write about.( people, animals, nature, landscapes, the sea, the seasons, stories, death, war, youth and old age, feeling and experiences, emotions like love, hate, sadness, regret and desire, etc.) Step 4. Pre-readingPeople from different countries write different kinds of poems. Get Ss to discuss the questions on Page 9 with their partners: Do you have a favorite poem in Chinese? Why ? Do you have a favorite poem in English? Why?As to exercise 2, give Ss practice in an important reading skill:scanning a text, that is, looking through a text quickly to find specific information. Read the table in exercise 2 with the Ss. Tell them that they are going to look for the information in the table, just in the poems themselves, not in the other parts of the text. They are to look only for those pieces of information and not read every word. Do an example with them.ScanningGet the Ss to read the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the Ss to form a good habit of reading. Teacher gives Ss a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell them to read the text silently and then ask some detailed questions about the text on the slide show . Teacher should encourage Ss to express their ideas.Q1. Why do people write poetry?Q2. How many forms of poems are mentioned in the passage? What are they? Q3. What does “nursery rhyme〞 mean? Why do they delight small children? Q4. What’s the characteristic of “list poems〞? What about “cinquain〞? Q5. Why do English People like “Haiku〞?Q6. Are you familiar with Tang Poems? Do you know the title of the last poem in the text?ListeningBefore Ss read the text, have them close their books and listen to the text with their eyes closed. This gives Ss the opportunity to listen to the sounds or “music〞 of the poems before reading them in detail. Tell them that it doesn’t matter if they don’t understand every word.First readingGet Ss to read the text carefully, finding the one sentence that sums up the paragraph of each part.. Underline the topic sentence.Second readingTell Ss that they are going to look at the rhythm of two of the poems. Make sure they know what rhythm is. Read the limerick aloud and have Ss listen for the strong beats. Then have them clap the strong beats as you read. Mark the strong beats on the limerick on the board.There was an old man with a beardWho said “it is just as I feared〞.“Four in sects and thenTwo birds and a henHave all made a home in my beard〞.Now read the poem A & B. Ask them to mark the strong beats on the two poems that have a strong rhythm. Check their answers . Then play the tape and get them to clap to the strong beats in those two poems.Third readingJust as any scene can serve as the subject of a painting, so any part of daily life can provide material for a poem.. Of course, the choice that the artist or poet makes relates to his or her purpose. Poetry is usually short and pact, so it should be read several times, preferably aloud, to appreciate its meaning. Read the last poem (Poem H), and answer the following questions:Q1. What parts of the poem suggest that the woman loves her husband?Q2. How do you understand the sentence〞 Should the journeyer return, this stone would utter speech.〞? Explain the sentence in your own words. Q3. What picture do you have in your mind when you read the above sentences? Q4. Do you know the Chinese title of this poem? Do you know the Chinese version of the poem?Step 6. Make a short summary of this period.Homework1.Surf some websites to find out more information about poets.2.Review the content of the reading passage.3.Finish the exercises on Page 12& 13.。

Let’s talk about the types of the poem!
Poetry is a great form of literature. There are different kinds of rules for poems, so the forms of poems are quite different from country to country.
对一首诗，个人的感受会有不同。节奏流畅，语言精炼，联想新颖的诗可算是好诗。堆砌词藻，一味抒发感情而无实际内容的诗，只能是下乘的诗。
用心去听
二十世纪英美诗歌大量采用自由诗体，接近口语，可谓大胆创新，大概也是诗歌发展的大势所趋吧。
用心去感受
诗以高度凝结的语言表达着人们的喜怒哀乐，用其特有的节奏与方式影响着人们的精神世界。诗讲究联想，运用象征、比喻、拟人等各种修辞手法，形成了独特的语言艺术。

2020届一轮复习人教版选修6Unit2PoemsPeriod1Reading教案设计(12页word)

2019届一轮复习人教版选修6Unit2PoemsPeriod1Reading教案设计(A FEW SIMPLE POEMS OF ENGLISH POEMS)IntroductionIn this period, after the warming up, students will first be guided learn about English poets and their poems. Then they will read an expository piece by means of reading aloud to the recording, understanding formsof English poems, reading and underlining, reading aloud and translatingand writing a poem of their own. The class is to end by students taking a quiz.Objectives■To help students learn to express intention■To help students learn to read an exposition about poems■To help students better understand “poems”■To help students learn to use some important words and expressions■To help students identify examples of “Subjunctive Mood (2) If I had done…,I w ould have done…” in the textFocusAidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagramsProcedures1. Warming up⑴Warming up by reciting poemsHi, class. We are to take up Unit 2 Poem. Can you remember any poems you have read in high school, either in Chinese or In English? How many poems can you recite now? Let’s try this one.Mid-Autumn MoonSu ShiSunset cloud gather far excess clear cold Milky Way silent turnjade plate This life this night not long The sunset clouds are gathered far away, it's clear and cold,The Milky Way is silent, I turn to the jade plate.The goodness of this life and of thisgood Next year bright moon where see night will not last for long,Next year where will I watch the bright moon?⑵Warming up by sharing informationMorning class! How much do you know about Chinese poets? How many poets have you ever read? Now in groups of 4 list all poets that you have heard of or read of.Featured poets from ChinaBai Juyi (白居易) uses very simple language, and is thereforeparticularly accessible for the beginner.Du Fu (杜甫) widely acknowledged as the finest of theclassical Chinese poets. His poems have aparticularly sensitive feeling for humanity.Du Mu (杜牧) one of the foremost writers of the late Tangperiod.Li Bai (李白) the most popular Chinese poet, with adistinctively Romantic style.Li Shangyin (李商隐)wrote verse which was allusive, but whichnevertheless dealt with readily accessible themesof loss and parting.Li Yu (李煜) the last emperor of the Southern Tangdynasty, deposed in 975. His works focuson the memory of lost pleasures.Liu Zongyuan (柳宗元) a Mid-Tang politician and another victimof political intrigues. Meng Haoran (孟浩然) associated with Wang Wei, and was himself one of the greatest poets of the High Tang.Su Shi (苏轼) also known as Su Dongpo, was the most importantof the Song dynasty poets. .Wang Wei (王维) one of the three most admired Tang dynasty poets,alongside Du Fu and Li Bai. A painter as well as apoet, he is known above all for his miniaturistcelebrations of nature.⑶ Warming up by brainstorming for reasons why people write poems So why do people write poetry? The reasons are as numerous as the poems themselves. Some people want to: make nice with the gods, tell the stories of their communities, record history, commemorate a moment of personal history, take an achingly clear snapshot of experience, embody their feelings, create a state of feeling and explore language.2. Pre-reading by learning about English poets and their poemsThis is my personal English poetry anthology; I hope it will give you, dear students, great pleasure in reading; perhaps as much as it gave me in (re-)citing the poems from memory. I learned many of these poems by rote 10 years ago as a schoolboy. Schoolchildren nowadays do not learn poems as much by rote as we did then.My favorite English poems3. Reading⑴Reading aloud to the recordingPoems are written to be read aloud. So first let’s listen and read to the recording of the text. Listen carefully and read correctly.⑵Understanding forms of English poemsTo understand poems better we shall talk about forms of poems first.⑶Reading and underliningRead the text once again and underline all the expressions useful to you. Copy them in your note book after school as part of homework.⑷Reading and transferringSkim the text and complete the table below.(5)Making a diagram to show the meaning and organization of the text(6)Reading aloud and translatingTo better understand the feeling expressed, we sometimes translate the poems into Chinese. Try the following one.4. Writing a poem of your ownCould you be a poet? Now try to write a poem in English or Chinese. And in groups of four read it aloud in turns. The best one will be shared in class.5. Closing down by taking a quiz。
