T: Most of us have recited a poem at some point in our lives. I’d like you to share your stories with us!
2. T asks them to think about the benefits of performing a poetry recital.

【設計意圖：以討論分享導入，讓學生結合自身經歷熟悉詩朗誦的形式，思考詩朗誦最關鍵之處，要求學生具備什么樣的能力，以便下一步的學習。】
Step 2 Choosing a poem for your recital
T leads Ss to discuss their favourite poems and gives Ss instructions on how to choose the poem suitable for recital.
T: Next, please list your three favourite poems and think about these questions: Which one is the most suitable for you to recite What will the most memorable poetry performance be like When choosing your poem, ask yourself: Have I clearly understood the theme of the poem Have I managed the complexity of this poem well What is the emotion expressed by the poet Only when you have clear answers to these questions can you make your choice.
【設計意圖：讓學生分享各自喜歡的詩歌，培養對語言美和文化美的欣賞；幫助學生探索作者的情感是如何在詩歌這一文學體裁中通過語言和韻律傳遞的。】
Step 3 Practicing reciting the poem
1. Understand your poem
T helps Ss to analyse the content and the structure, especially pay attention to the rhythm. Use the given poem “If” as an example. Share some background information of the poem with Ss.
T: Do you know the story behind this poem What’s the theme of the poem
T: It is a poem written by Kipling to his 12-year-old son. This poem is so inspiring that many people, especially teenagers, often use it to encourage themselves to move forward.
2. Memorize your poem
T gives advice on how to memorize a poem.
T: John Hollander says, “We speak of memorizing as getting something ‘by heart’ which really means ‘by head’. But getting a poem or prose passage truly ‘by heart’ implies getting it by mind and memory and understanding and delight.”
3. Recite your poem
T divides Ss into groups and encourages them to present their recital.
T: Practice reciting the poem within your group. When one member is reciting, the other members act as audience and offers advice and suggestions on how to improve the performance.
4. Tasks for each member during group work
GM 1: be the reciter
GM 2: tear down or question every aspect of the recital
GM 3: help classify those criticisms
GM 4: be less critical and more concerned with the creativity
5. Tips for reciting a poem
After Ss finish their teamwork, T has Ss read the tips on page 55 together in order to make them more skilled when reciting a poem.
【設計意圖：引導學生合理分工，更高效地提高朗誦詩歌的能力。讓學生得以在小組合作的過程中碰撞思維，發現自身的優缺點，對同伴進行合理評價和建議，培養團隊合作的能力。】
Step 5 Presentation and assessment
T asks Ss to give a presentation in groups in front of the class.
T asks Ss to evaluate other groups’ works and ask questions or put forward suggestions.
【設計意圖：學生上臺完成詩朗誦，鍛煉他們的自信品質和表達能力。請學生對其他組的作品進行評價、提問或建議，以培養學生表達觀點的能力以及獨立思考與評價的思維品質。讓他們看到個人智慧與集體協作的結晶，增強學生的成就感。】
