In the Still of the Night
I descry bright moonlight in front of my bed.
I suspect it to be hoary frost on the floor.
I watch the bright moon, as I tilt back my head.
I yearn, while stooping, for my homeland more.
I remember quiet clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake. Where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shine. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious, you said: our story is ending.
The rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love since a long time ago. I still don’t think I’m gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand. I know I was going to be the one left behind. But still I’m watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
课堂上学生看着诗文,MP3中流淌出齐豫迷茫感伤的声音,从他们的表情中,我看出了他们正在走入诗歌,享受诗歌。“都市的黄昏,一颗慌乱的心在拥挤的街头跌跌撞撞,忽然,一种声音侵入耳膜,很哀婉,很凄美…”——这是学生写的对这首诗的体会。
五、尝试写简单诗歌,体验诗歌创作的乐趣
对于很少接触英语诗歌的学生来说,要求他们写诗似乎很困难,但是听说读写是一体的,写诗可以让学生联系课堂学习过的英语诗歌格律知识,在尝试了自己写简单诗歌之后,学生对诗歌有进一步的体会,获得更大乐趣,也加深了学习英语的兴趣。清单诗,尤其是那些不断重复短语和节奏的诗歌,比较容易创作,可以作为他们课后任务,然后在课堂上进行吟唱,活跃课堂气氛,加强他们的乐趣与感知。
六、诗歌朗诵比赛
利用一节课或者班会课组织一场班级英语诗歌朗诵比赛,小组个人均可参加。可以选择自己喜爱诗人的作品,也可以是自己创作的作品,比赛时可配上舞蹈动作;可制作PPT配合;可加入背景音乐。设奖也可多样,最佳语音语调,最佳仪态奖,最佳情境奖,最佳组合奖等。总之是激发学生对对英语诗歌的兴趣,通过朗诵比赛提高学生的英语语言能力和文学艺术修养。获奖能够让学生很有成绩感。
七、充分利用多种媒体进行英语诗歌学习
现在学生的多数已会熟练使用各种媒体,在互联网上有不少介绍英语诗歌知识的,英语诗歌写作的网站,老师可以介绍网址让他们自己浏览,也可以和学生一起上网指导他们学习。
制作英语小报,很多学校都有做手抄报,可以让学生单独或合作出一版自己喜爱的英语诗歌摘抄的手抄报,也可以让他们出自己创作的诗歌报纸。
现在学生对于应用PPT制作课件也很有兴趣,让他们选择自己喜爱的诗人做一专集,或者选择一个诗歌意象进行制作,每节课前或课后让学生轮流进行展示配于音乐和诵读。这样的活动不会占用很多课堂时间,也不加重学生的负担,又能丰富学生的积累,锻炼学生的动手能力,长期坚持,可以让学生有很好的收获。. 作者: ououmama 时间: 2012-3-13 00:50
