For example, some poems should have strong rhythm and rhyming lines, some should have certain number of lines. When we practice writing poems, we should follow these rules. Now who’d like to share your work?Sample poems for reference:1. (A nursery rhyme) Five Fat PeasFive fat peas in a pea pod pressedOne grew, two grew, so did all the rest.They grew and grewAnd did not stop,Until one dayThe pod went POP!2. (A haiku poem) TreesGreen every springBright orange in autumnBare in winter3. (A translation of a Tang poem) Coming Home (by He Zhizhang)I left home young and not till old do I come back, My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black.The children don’t know me, whom I meet on the way,“Where do you come from, reverend sir?” they smile and say.Step Ⅱ WritingTask 1: Talk with the students about how to write list poems.T: The list poem (also called “catalog poem”) consists of an itemization of things or events. First brainstorm a list of titles / topics and pick a favorite one. Then list ideas and descriptions. For example, if you want to write a poem about thunderstorms, you might start by writing down relevant words, and then choose the most suitable ones: flash, blowing, rumble, night, deadly and rain, perhaps. Here’s an example for you. Read and find out what the poem tells us.Show the following.A Day in the BarnyardFarmers cutting grassTractors in the fieldsFarmers planting cornCows eating grassTractors making noisesFarmers picking weedsFarmers fixing fencesLawn mowers going back and forth.S: The above poem shows us a picture of farmer’s life.T: There is no rhyme lines but a list of things that the writer has seen in a barnyard. So it’s very easy to make one. Now look at Exercise 1 in Writing on page 16. Work in groups, choose one topic and then start your group poem. If you write about something that you know a lot about you will be more likely to write from your heart and it will be a very interesting story because it has come from your heart.Sample version 1:If I were the ruler of the worldIf I were the ruler of the world,I would make some changes fast.I would make peace lastWar disappear,I would make poor rich,Good become better.I would remove anything,That hinder the progress of human being.I would make the worldFull of harmony, friendship,And love.A true family.Sample version 2:If I had a million dollarsIf I had a million dollars,I would buyEnough bread for hungry,Enough books for children,Enough ships for fishermen,Enough houses for homeless,Enough hope for the world.Sample version 3:If I had taken your adviceIf I had taken your advice,I would have caught the train,I would have arrived on time,I would have met my father,I would have hugged him long,I would have thanked him more,I would have made him happiestMan in the world.Task 2: Ask the studen ts to write a poem that starts with “I feel happy when ...” or “Slowly”.T: Next, we’ll go on with two other poems that start with “I feel happy when ...” or “Slowly”. For the second topic, you should make sure that each pair of lines rhymes. First read the examples, then start your poems.Sample version 1:I feel happy whenThe moon is round,Brothers and sisters sitting around,Taste the moon cake and the joy of life.I feel happy whenMy work is done,And weariness gone.Everything goes smoothly.I feel happy whenYou sleep soundly,With your little hand round my neck.Peace and love full of the room.Step Ⅲ Homework1.
