英语诗歌是英语语言的精华，其词组与句子凝练，语调明快，语境蕴含智慧。通过剪裁英语诗歌，有机融合教学内容，在课堂教学中解决问题，能激发学生的兴趣，让学生体验成功，引起学生的思考，引导学生进入语言环境。
　　一、课前导入，激发兴趣，巩固知识
　　如“Success with English”教材一年级的小诗：“Mother short, father tall. Brother big, sister small. Short or tall, big or small, I love them all.”学生和着节奏诵读小诗，在玩中学，在学中玩。课前配动作：“Catch a ball, run to the door. Catch a pen, run to Ben. Catch a pencil, run to the middle. Catch, run, catch, run. Catch and run.”诗歌能唤起学生的学习动机。在学习了衣服类单词和颜色类单词的基础上，可把词语串成小诗：“My shirt is red. My jacket is green. My skirt is old. My dress is new. My coat is big. My sweater is small. My socks are white. And my shoes are black.”学生可轻松复习单词，归纳单词。
　　二、课中引入，训练表达，营造语境
　　在学习句型“What’s in the ...？”时，教师可把句型编成小诗：“What’s in the bag? What’s in the bag? Pencil-case, erasers, books or rulers? What’s in the bag? What’s in the bag? Books and pencils. Books and pencils.”学生打着节拍朗读，接着分成小组猜同学书包里的物品，开展对话，学习灵活表达。如学习了“星期几”的单词，我先展示：Sunday is a lovely day. Sunday is a lovely day for sightseeing. Monday is a happy day. Monday is a happy day for singing.呈现了几个句子后，学生发现可以替换单词来表达不同的情境，顺利模仿表达了：Tuesday is a busy day. Tuesday is a busy day for studying. Wednesday is a funny day. Wednesday is a funny day for playing. Thursday is a boring day. Thursday is a boring day for cleaning. Friday is a horrible day. Friday is a horrible day for doing homework. Saturday is an interesting day. Saturday is an interesting day for sleeping. Eating, drinking, shopping and dancing.
　　三、课后感悟，创编诗歌，形成能力
　　学习食物单词后，可以把单词和句型编成小诗，让学生以小诗的形式进行访问调查：“What would you like for dinner? Cabbage, broccoli or tomato? I’d like tomato, please. What would you like for lunch?Hamburger, chips or buns? I’d like buns, please.”
　　学习天气的内容时，把些有关的单词、句子编成小诗：“Weather like, weather like, what’s the weather like today? Sunny, sunny, it’s sunny today.”“On Sunday, on Sunday, play football, play football, I play football.”再把小诗中的重点句型连贯起来，就可以变成一篇对话或短文了。有效运用诗歌，有助于学习单词、句子，进一步提高学生的读写能力。
