The importance of poetry reading in English learning extends beyond mere academic requirements;it is a gateway to a deeper understanding of the language and a means to enhance various skills.1. Appreciation of Language: Poetry is known for its use of figurative language, rhythm, and rhyme. Reading poetry exposes students to a wide array of vocabulary and linguistic structures that can enrich their language proficiency.2. Cultural Understanding: Many poems are rooted in the cultural and historical contexts in which they were written. Through poetry, students can gain insights into different societies and eras, fostering a broader worldview.3. Emotional Intelligence: Poems often express complex emotions and experiences. Reading and analyzing them can help students develop empathy and emotional intelligence, as they learn to interpret the feelings and intentions of the poet.4. Critical Thinking: The ambiguity and depth of poetry require students to engage in critical thinking. They must analyze the text, consider multiple interpretations, and make connections to their own experiences and the world around them.5. Creativity: The imaginative nature of poetry stimulates creativity. Students are encouraged to think outside the box and to express their thoughts and feelings in new and innovative ways.6. Improvement of Reading Skills: Regular poetry reading can improve reading fluency, comprehension, and the ability to discern the nuances of language. It also helps in developinga love for reading, which is a key component of lifelong learning.7. Writing Skills: By studying the works of accomplished poets, students can learn about various writing techniques, such as metaphor, simile, and alliteration.

It can provide a mental break from the rigors of more analytical forms of reading and learning.10. Personal Expression: Poetry provides a medium for self-expression.

Song
用曼德拉草变回孩提原形 就像追逐一颗陨落的流星 何处能找回逝去的光阴 是谁拖长了恶魔的脚印 教会我倾听人鱼的乐音 让我摆脱嫉妒的心 然后感受 一阵微风 拂起升华的灵
If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till Age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear Nowhere Lives a woman true, and fair.

书中寻觅诗与远的英语作文
In the realm of literature,poetry stands as a beacon of beauty and depth,a testament to the human spirits quest for expression.The English language,with its rich vocabulary and flexible syntax,offers a fertile ground for poets to explore the vast landscapes of emotion,thought,and experience.When we delve into the pages of a book in search of poetry,we embark on a journey that can be both intimate and expansive,leading us to discover the profound and the sublime.Poetry in English is a diverse and vibrant field,with roots that stretch back to the earliest days of the language.From the Old English epic Beowulf to the modernist experimentations of T.S.Eliot and the lyrical musings of contemporary poets like Maya Angelou,the English poetic tradition is a rich tapestry of voices and styles.Each poet brings their unique perspective to the page,offering readers a chance to see the world through different eyes.In seeking out poetry in books,one may be drawn to the sonnets of Shakespeare,with their intricate rhyme schemes and profound insights into the human condition.The beauty of a wellcrafted sonnet lies in its ability to convey complex emotions and ideas within a strict structural framework,allowing the reader to appreciate both the form and the content of the poem.Alternatively,one might find solace in the free verse of Walt Whitman,whose long, flowing lines in Leaves of Grass capture the spirit of American transcendentalism. Whitmans poetry is characterized by its celebration of the individual and the natural world,encouraging readers to embrace their own unique identities and to find joy in the world around them.For those interested in the power of language to challenge and provoke,the works of modernist poets like Ezra Pound and T.S.Eliot offer a different kind of exploration. These poets experimented with form and content,breaking away from traditional poetic structures to create works that reflect the fragmentation and complexity of the modern world.Eliots The Waste Land,for example,is a collage of voices and styles that reflects the disillusionment and cultural upheaval of the early20th century.In more recent times,the rise of confessional poetry in the mid20th century,with poets like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton,brought a new level of personal and emotional intensity to the page.These poets were unafraid to delve into their own experiences, exploring themes of mental health,relationships,and identity with a raw honesty that resonated with readers.As we continue to search for poetry in books,we are also discovering the voices of poetsfrom diverse backgrounds and cultures,who bring their own unique experiences and perspectives to the English poetic tradition.Poets like Rupi Kaur and Ocean Vuong,for example,use their work to explore themes of immigration,identity,and the search for belonging,offering readers a chance to engage with different cultural narratives and to broaden their understanding of the world.In conclusion,the search for poetry in books is a journey of discovery and connection.It allows us to engage with the deepest aspects of the human experience,to find solace in the face of adversity,and to celebrate the beauty and complexity of life.Whether we are drawn to the classical forms of the past or the innovative expressions of the present, poetry in English offers a wealth of insight and inspiration for those who seek to explore its depths.。

book2a unit 4 English Poetry 稿子
Unit4 Reading: “English Poetry”Good morning! I’m very glad to have this opportunity to talk about some of my teaching ideas. My topic is English Poetry taken from Unit 4 in SEFC Book 2A. It consists of four parts.Part 1 Teaching Material:First, I’d like to say something about the teaching content. This unit is about English poetry, concerning the introduction of English poets, different types of English poems and the development of English poetry. The reading part is a typical exposition. As we know, reading belongs to the input in the process of the language learning. The input has great effect on output, such as speaking and writing. It plays a very important role in the teaching of this unit. By studying this lesson, Ss can improve their reading ability and learn about the history and characteristics of different period of English poetry. At the same time, help Ss to appreciate and recite English poems, and help them appreciate the beauty of English poems.Second, the aims of this lesson are:1. Knowledge aim: to read for the information of the history ofEnglish Poetry & the characteristics of English Poetry in different times.2. Ability aim: Enable the students to give their ideas about poets andpoems to other group members, using the target language.3. Personal development/ Emotional aim: To let Ss experience the spirit of the poems and encourage the Ss to learn to appreciate poems.Third, the focus and difficulties are:1. Help the students learn to appreciate poems and know about poems and poets.2. To develop some basic reading skills.Part 2 Teaching Methods and studying methods:Students of this stage are quick in thought and they are eager to show what they know and they have a certain ability to read. But they are lack of the courage to express their ideas.Therefore, in this lesson，I will teach my students to master the following strategy:1）Basic learning strategy: The students can get the meaning of the words and phrases2）Practice strategy: Practice can help the students get the general idea and have a better understanding of the language：To some extent, students develop the abilities of study, effective communication, dealing with information and thinking and expressing in English.According to the modern social communication teaching theories, I adopt the Comunicative method, interactive method and Task-Based Language Teaching method. Teaching English at senior schools aims at students’ basic skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing in English.So I find it necessary to design a class where Ss can practice them all: I’ll require them to do watching and listening activity, Q＆A, pair wok of reading and free discussion. This task will make it possible for the students to pick up the language in an all round way.Teaching aids: Projector; Computer; multimedia equipment and blackboard. I shall make the students join in the reading practices, because they are the master of their class. Besides, it's a good way to practice their spoken English and improve their reading ability.Part 3Teaching procedures.I’m going to take the following procedures:Step1 Warm-up: Greet the whole class as usual.Step2 Lead-in and preparation for reading: show them a poem of Chinese poet on screen, ask Ss to read and recite, then match the author in Column A with their poems in Column B. Ask Qs about Chinese poems and introduce the content of this lesson—English poetry;Step3 Practice: Fast reading, and divide the text into 4 parts, then find out the main idea or the topic sentence of each part;Step4Consolidation: Get the Ss to comprehend the passage by one Para & one Para carefully & accurately; Then show them a English poem and try to analyze its structure; Then discuss about Qs- are poems good for our life, what can we got from poems?Step5Assignment: Read the text again to get a betterunderstanding, read and translate some good English poems, and get some information about famous poets on Internet if possible.Part 4 Blackboard designBlackboard design should be taken as a way of attracting the stude nt’s attention and helping them to write down the important teaching points. I will divide the blackboard into two parts .The left part will be used to write the important vocabulary and grammar and their usage. It will be reserved for the whole class. The right part will be precious explanation of English poetry, I will try to analyze the meaning and structure.All in all, No matter which steps are taken, the purpose is to provide teacher and students with information and internal demand to improve teaching skill and learning quality. Strategy and approach will help students become more independent and the successful learner.That’s all. Thank you.。
