人教版高二Unit 4 A Garden of Poems(详案)
------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 HK
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.
