　　A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
　　There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotions. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
　　Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. These rhymes are still a common type of children's poetry. The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.
　　One of the simplest kinds of poems is the one that list things. List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme while others do not.
　　Another simple form of poem that students can easily write is the cinquain, a poem made up of five lines. With these, students can convey a strong picture in just a few words.
　　Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using the minimum of words. Many haiku poems are translations from the Japanese.
　　Did you know that English speakers also enjoy other forms of Asian poetry-Tang poems from China in particular? A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English.
　　With so many different forms of poetry to choose from, students may eventually want to write poems of their own. It is easier than you might think and certainly worth a try! (324 words)
　　教材改编理由和意图：
　　在新课改新高考背景下，按照本堂阅读课的要求（体现新高考的趋势和精神），本人将文章进行整合，关于诗歌介绍的阅读形成一篇350词左右完整的说明文，为了不分散学生对阅读文本的持续注意力，原本分散在文中的诗歌范例单独在课件中呈现。同时为培养学生对分散信息的整合能力和用简单语言迅速掌握原文内容梗概,不加主观评论和解释,但简明、确切地表述原文重要内容的能力，保留了课本的说明文原文，去除了一些指令性语言如：“Look at the examples on the top of the next page.”等，确保阅读课summary写作的可操作性。特此说明。

　　2. Learning competence:
　　Students will be able to share information with others and get the information needed.
　　3. Cognitive qualities:
