1、Unit 2 Poems第一部分金色教案教学设计说明About the topic and the structures单元话题和结构本单元的话题是Poems/诗歌，介绍了几首英语小诗及诗歌创作的基本常识。本单元句法项目依然是“虚拟语气（2）”。教师应当清楚：诗是一种文学体裁，其按照一定的音节、声调和韵律的要求，用凝练的语言、充沛的情感以及丰富的现象来高度集中的表现社会生活和人的精神世界。在中国古代，不合乐的称为诗，合乐的成为歌。金色教案教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素
2、，对课本、对金色教案教学设计重新划分课时、裁剪、拼接使用我们提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学效果。教师也可以参照我们提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。Period 1Reading 阅读课Warming Up 可以选择Warming up by reciting poems， Warming up by sharing information 或者Warming up by brainstorming for reasons why people write poems，为阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。可以向学生补充“诗歌的分类”：按内容的性质可分为叙事诗和抒情诗；按语言组合有无
3、格律，可分为格律诗和自由诗；按是否押韵，可分为有韵诗和无韵诗。Pre-reading 以Learning about English poets and their poems形式进行读前活动，为其后的阅读做心理的铺垫和准备。Reading“几首英文小诗”是篇说明文，简要说明了英语诗歌的形式和意境。教师应当引导学生从形式和内容两方面阅读本文，提高对说明文文体的认识，同时了解英语诗歌的一般常识。教师应当向学生讲明白：诗歌语言最精炼，语汇最丰富，表达形式最精美，语言的色调最细腻；如果对诗歌有一定修养，其语言表达能力会大大提高；想一个学汉语的人，如果对唐诗宋词一无所知，其汉语水平不会很高；学英语者也
4、是如此；如果他对莎士比亚、弥尔顿、华兹华斯、拜伦、雪莱、济慈等人的著名诗篇一窍不通，其英文水平也不会很高。Period 2Learning about language 知识课Learning about language 第一部分是词法训练，强化学生对本单元重点词汇、短语的掌握和实用；第二部分是句法训练，讲解在第一单元已基本完成，本单元主要通过练习进一步巩固强化学生对英语“虚拟语气”的理解和运用。Period 3Using language运用课Using language首先Warming up by learning about rhythm， 然后是围绕诗歌“Ive saved the

7、kground 背景围绕单元话题“诗歌”我们提供了若干实用性背景材料。这些材料既可以作为教师教学参考材料为教师所用，也可以直接或改写、重组后作为课堂内外的拓展性阅读材料呈现给学生。Section 2Explanation解析重点针对“阅读课型”中的课文难句，我们提供了详尽的，就句论句的解析和翻译，并且以解析的焦点话题为线索，进行了一定的归纳、辨析和总结，以帮助教师更好地实施“语言形式”的教学。Section 3Vocabulary词汇按照课本单元词汇表顺序，我们重点提供动词、短语搭配的讲解。所提供的例句，经典、地道、实用、易懂，完全可以直接用于教学。第三部分教学测评说明围绕单元词法、句法项目，
