师：Hello, boys and girls. My name is Emily. Welcome to my class. Today we are going to start Unit 7. Please get your student's book and the worksheet ready. Today we're going to read a poem. Before that, let's review a poem we've learned before, “When the Wind Blows”. A poem looks quite different from ordinary articles, doesn't it? So take a look and think about what makes a poem different from other types of text.
生：（思考）
师：Do you have the answer in your mind? Yes. A poem has verses. Can you tell how many verses this poem has?
生：Yes, it has 7 verses.
师：And a poem also has lines. In this poem, how many lines does each verse have?
生：Yes, four lines in each verse.
师：Now let's read the poem aloud and think about what makes a poem sound different from other types of text. Let's listen to Shane read it aloud. And think about the question.
（Shane朗读）
“When the wind blows, leaves fly from the trees across the sky. When the wind blows, kites fly, rising and diving high in the sky. When the wind blows, flags in the sky near and far. When the wind blows, sailing boats lean and speed over the sea. When the wind blows, flowers bow and sway among the grass. On a beautiful day. When the wind blows, clouds slide and hide, moving across the sky low and high. When the wind blows, Walter smiles with a happy face, showing dimples on her big, round face.”
师：Thank you, Shane. You may find that in verse 1 and 2, “fly” and “sky” have the same vowel “I”, which sounds like repetition in the verse. That's the same with “ling” and “C”, “sway” and “day”, “height” and “high”, “face” and “face”. With these words, this poem has rhyme. It is a rhymed poem or rhyming poem. And all these words with red boxes are called rhyming words. But not every poem has to be a rhyming one. That means not every poem has rhyming words. Now we know the features of poems. They are verses, lines, and sometimes rhyming words. Besides, poems have other features, like repetition. For example, in the poem, “when the wind blows”, you hear the line “when the wind blows” repeated several times. It is repetition.
Today, we're going to read a new poem. Do you see the picture? Can you guess what the poem is writing about?
生：Yes, a house.
师：But what do you think of the house? Let's listen.
（朗读新诗歌部分内容）
“What do you think? It is a noisy house, but where do these sounds come from? What is it? The old man is slamming the door. Slam the door means close the door with force and a loud noise. Pang, say after me, slam again. Slam. What is that little girl doing? Wow, she is screaming. Scream here means shout in a loud, high voice. Jianjiao, say after me. Scream again. Scream. What is he doing? He's roaring. You learned the word in Book 8 Unit 5. Gork gave a roar. Tao Xiao, say after me. Roar again. Roar. Do you like this house? Does the speaker like this house? We'll find out later. First, read through the poem and finish task 1. How many verses does it have? How many lines does each verse have? Is it a rhyming poem? You can also find the task on your worksheet.”

师：Time is up. Let's see Jane's work.
生：The poem has six verses altogether. Each verse has four lines. And I think it is a rhyming poem.
师：Good job. Since the poem is rhyming, can you find the rhyming words? You can find the poem on your textbook. Read carefully and circle them.

师：Now let's check the answers. Do you get the same answers? Now let's read the poem aloud after the recording. And don't forget to feel the rhyme. Ready?
