四、教材处理
本单元的话题“英文诗歌”对于高中学生而言，较为抽象。依据新课程标准、结合本单元的话题特点，教师在处理教材的任务设置时应运用建构主义“脚手架教学”的方法，而在调动学生积极参与任务时则应遵照多元智能理论。
教材的“读前”提到了中国诗人和中国诗歌、“综合技能”部分的阅读文章的内容则联系诗歌和歌曲。根据认知的一般规律，话题的导入应由中国的诗歌诗人――英文歌曲――英文诗歌诗人。根据教材内容、结构特点和教学时间，本单元拟用7个课时完成。具体分配如下：
Period 1: Warming up(P25)& Reading passage “ Songs and Poems” from Integrating skills(P31)
Period 2: Listening & Speaking
Period 3—4: Reading
Period 5: Language study
Period 6: Integrating skills(Writing)
Period 7: English Poem Festival
