选修6《Lesson 3 Poetry》优质课PPT课件下载

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.　We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.　And the human race is filled with passion.　And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.　But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.　　——Dead Poets Society

我们读诗写诗，非为它的灵巧。我们读诗写诗，因为我们是人类的一员。而人类充满了热情。医药，法律，商业，工程，这些都是高贵的理想，并且是维生的必需条件。但是诗，美，浪漫，爱，这些才是我们生存的原因。

Famous poets

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with the 1798 joint publication Lyrical Ballads(《抒情歌谣集》).

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) was an English poet, Romantic, literary critic and philosopher who, with his friend William Wordsworth, was one of the founders of the Romantic Movement in England and one of the Lake Poets.

Background knowledge(setting)

1882美国诗人Dr. Clement Clarke Moore第一次把Santa Clause（圣诞老人）描写出亲切可爱的形象：面颊像玫瑰，鼻子似樱桃，常常欢乐笑靥，两鳃长满白胡子，每逢圣诞前便会驾着驯鹿雪橇来到村镇里，从民居烟囟爬下，送礼物给乖孩子。谁知这篇名为A visit from Saint Clause的诗文一经发表便到处风行，使快乐的圣诞老人形象深入人心。很多小孩想知道他究竟来自何方。
