九年级U7 SA阅读是一篇诗歌，课程中第一次出现诗歌题材的文章，是个体会英语优美、增加语感的好机会。
1.诗歌知识
这首poem有三个verse，句尾有押韵 ，跟读体会
如第一节：ai, i, l
"When I was a tiny baby crying all night, my mom sang to me and stayed by my side.
When I was tired and hungry, she gave me food and warm arms to sleep in.
When I was running through the field, she made sure I was safe and kept me from danger.
When I fell and hurt myself, she gave me a hug and lifted me up."
2.诗歌仿写
用When I ..., my mom...
以下是学生写的句子：
When I failed the exam, my mom cheered me up
When I was hungry, my mom cooke the best food for
3.情景表演
设定情景，让学生来表演与妈妈顶嘴的片段
Mom: No ice-cream!
I: I should be allowed to eat some! Give it to me now.
在诗歌基础上进行拓展场景，让学生强化句式练习I should be allowed to...
4.中文翻译
让学生用类似的中文句式优美的翻译
虽然把lifted me up翻成“举高高”，把I am not a baby翻成了“我不是个宝宝”，但课堂气氛很好
5.补充绘本材料
My Dad这本绘本中有许多描述爸爸的句子
"He is as big as a house
and as soft as my Teddy"
在一起阅读绘本后请学生用相同的句式描述妈妈
以下是学生写的句子：
Mom is as beautiful as a butter
She is as pretty as a rose
She is as warm as sunshine
She is as busy as a bee
6.布置仿写作业
让学生写一首My Day/Mom小诗作为Thanksgiving的礼物送给爸爸或妈妈
学生作业展示：
【改进】
1.情景表演：改成同学扮演妈妈和孩子角色，开火车接力，练习面更广。
2.诗歌仿写：改成“”“I am a poet”的小组活动，让每组当场完成一首诗歌，在班级内部诵读。
