Life is the origin of composition. Without life, composition will lose its source and vitality. Tao Xingzhi once said: "Life education is life-centered education. Life and education are one thing, not two things. They are two names for one phenomenon, just like a person's nickname and scientific name. Life is Education. "Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Composition is not an embellishment of life, but a necessity of life, exactly the same as speaking." Therefore, in the teaching of composition, we should start from "life" and use a variety of methods and means. , strive to practice education that “takes students as the main body and life as the source of writing”, allowing students to discover life, enter life, understand life, and let students realize that “composition is everywhere in life”.
1. Enter the door of life and discover the charm of life. Obtaining composition materials is the basis of composition, and observation and perception are the direct and effective means of obtaining composition materials. One direct reason why students have "nothing to write" in their compositions is: it is not that students have no life, but that students do not truly observe the life around them. The performance is as follows: students turn a blind eye to life, turn a blind eye, and turn a deaf ear. In fact, stories are happening or will happen every day in life. The key is whether students have discovered it, whether they have walked into the door of life, grasped what they saw and heard, and thought deeply about it! As long as our students observe life carefully, they will find that life is originally so rich and charming.
1. Look. Let students learn to see with their eyes. You will be able to "observe" things from far away and "observe" them from near, you will be able to observe things from the whole to their parts, you will be able to find the similarities and differences of things, you will be able to pay attention to everything, you will be able to pay attention all the time, when looking becomes a habit, in the children's compositions There is life in his eyes. For example, a student described the lotus: its stem is as thin as a finger, and its surface is uneven, and it feels like there are many small stones inlaid on it. The leaves of the lotus are about the size of the mouth of the basin. The floating leaves are like green emerald disks, and the standing lotus leaves are like an upside-down hat. The lotus flowers are even more beautiful, some are still flower bones, so full that they seem to be eager to burst open; some have already unfolded two or three petals, like shy girls; some have all unfolded, and the petals are as pink as pimples. Du's face was flushed, and he was holding an unripe lotus pod in the middle... Another example is the rice noodles described by a student: The rice noodles arrived, and I laughed from ear to ear. I saw the snow-white rice noodles, thin and long, soaked in the beige soup. Green coriander, yellow diced radish, and pink ham sausage are cut into slices and evenly sprinkled on the rice noodles. The color is so beautiful that it makes people salivate and want to swallow the rice noodles in one bite.
2. Smell. Let students use their noses to smell. The taste should be savored carefully, not only to smell the taste on the surface, but also to smell the taste inside. Not only can you smell the smell here, but you can also smell the smell there. Life has a flavor: are the flowers fragrant? Is it a strong fragrance or a light fragrance? Are the apples sweet? Is it purely sweet, or is it sour and sweet? Is life bitter? Is it bitter first and then happy, or is it happy first and then bitter... Often let the children smell it with their noses, and their compositions will have the flavor of life, the ups and downs. For example, when a student wrote about soup-filled wontons, he wrote about the taste like this: Before the wontons were served, I smelled a "fragrant" smell and felt a "hot" breath. When the wontons came, I didn't rush to eat them. Instead, I smelled the soup carefully, the moist warmth, the fragrant green onions, and the lingering breath. I think even if it is Antarctic snow or Arctic ice now, as long as the smell of this bowl of soupy wontons wafts over, it will definitely melt them. Another example is how a student described the fireworks during the Mid-Autumn Festival: Looking up, the colorful fireworks made the sky extraordinarily beautiful. Some are like rich peonies, blooming layer by layer; some are like blooming chrysanthemums, which instantly turn into colorful stars and fall into the earth; some are like shooting stars streaking across the sky... The air is filled with thick The smell of gunpowder smoke is the smell of warmth in every family, and the smell of happiness in every family.
3. Write. Just use a pen to write down what you see, smell, and think about. The first impression is the deepest. Write down what you see and feel deeply in notes, or line drawings, or lyrics, or discussions... A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. When the time passes, you can read it out and look at it. The scene at that time will be vivid in your mind. When I need a certain subject, I have written before and it will jump out.
Use notes to write down, and over time, you will unknowingly accumulate a large amount of living material. Do you still worry about having nothing to say and nothing to write when writing? For example, I still remember a student's diary of "Wash Mom's Face": Today I pulled my mother out of the kitchen and said mysteriously: "Mom, let me wash your face." Mom looked at me with doubtful eyes and said, I smiled: "If you want to play with your dad, I'm busy right now!" Seeing that my mother didn't understand my sincerity, I further emphasized: "You are too tired, I want to help you wash your face." After some persuasion, my mother finally agreed. I wash her face. I followed my mother's example, soaked the towel in the steaming warm water, rolled the towel into a ball, and wrung it dry. I put the towel on my mother's face. Suddenly, my heart felt sweet. I could finally do something for my mother! I moved the towel slowly, and I saw the wrinkles on my mother's face and the white hair on her forehead. I couldn't help but said: "Mom, I love you!" My mother shed tears, and the tears were hot. Wow, I'm 13 years old and I can finally help my mother.
2. Enter life and make the composition full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Nowadays, society has developed, and there are computers, pictures, and miniature landscapes. But only when you stand on the top of Mount Tai in person can you truly understand Confucius' exclamation of "climbing Mount Tai and minimizing the world"; only when you look at it in person Only when you visit the Lushan Waterfall can you truly admire the magnificence of "Floating down three thousand feet, it seems like the Milky Way has fallen into the sky"; only when you walk into the Yunnan Stone Forest in person can you truly appreciate the "miraculous craftsmanship" of nature; Only when you stand in front of the pit of soldiers and horses, will you truly understand what "unparalleled" means... The door to life is opened for us, how to let our students become the "creators" and "experiencers" of life, let them Is the composition full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy?
1. Talk. It is to let students express their feelings with their mouths. Chinese language should cultivate students' speaking ability, and composition teaching takes on a large part in cultivating speaking ability. Let students be able to speak in life, such as telling stories to their partners. Fascinating stories bring happiness to children's childhood! Be able to explain things that have been misunderstood, and be able to resolve conflicts politely and thoughtfully to enhance harmony; be able to express love to relatives and friends, and use caring and considerate words to make love flow around them... Students can use their mouths to speak, which can let them enter life , let them be the masters of life, experience the taste of life, let the words come into life, and then into the composition, won’t the composition have color? For example, a student made full use of it when writing about her birthday: I dragged my heavy steps back home. The home was still so cold, and there was another note from my mother on the table - eat early and do your homework seriously! My last glimmer of hope was shattered, and I became angry for some reason: "Busy! Busy! Can you do anything else besides being busy? Today is my birthday!" I suddenly lifted the wooden stool next to the table. Kicked far. ...The door opened with a "squeak" sound. I opened my sleepy eyes and vaguely saw two people, my parents. They came back at ten o'clock. What was mom holding in her hands? I rubbed my eyes again: "It's a birthday cake!" I was stunned. I suppressed my excitement, climbed up and shouted loudly: "Dad! Mom!"
2 ,Do. Just let the students do it before writing. Students play games, make small productions, do a good deed, do an experiment, go on a tour, etc. After students experience it, the feelings that just happened will be deep, and they will have something to write about. The process has a sequence, the characters' movements are swaying in front of their eyes, the characters' words are echoing in their ears, and their hearts are still beating for the feeling just now... When students do it, their compositions will naturally have sound and color. "Gravesweeping Notes of the Martyrs Cemetery" written by Ruyi student The memorial ceremony began. First, a flower basket was presented, followed by a moment of silence. Everyone lowered their heads and bowed to the People's Monument, and heart-wrenching words came to their ears. Sadness and joy, the air solidified, and the birds seemed to feel something. They no longer screamed joyfully, and stood motionless on the branches. Looking at the tombstones standing one by one, I silently fell into deep thought: Who is it? Let the bright five-star red flag flutter in the wind! Who is it? Let me sit in the spacious and bright classroom! Who is it? Let the buildings here rise one after another! Who is it again? Throwing your head and blood on that war-torn battlefield! Thinking of this, the sounds of gunfire and artillery shouting seemed to be heard in my ears, and I seemed to see soldiers jumping out of the trenches and fighting the enemy bravely before my eyes... Tears blurred my vision and dripped onto the flowers in my hands. .
3. Understand life and let the composition shine with the light of wisdom. Life not only provides factual materials for composition, but also gives students an understanding of life and emotional experience.
Only with profound insights can the compositions written be more substantial and spiritual. So what aspects should be cultivated to make students' compositions shine with wisdom?
1. Understand nature. Lead students to go for a walk in nature, take a look, talk and think about it. How could the vitality of spring not make students feel energetic; the vastness of summer not let students feel the enthusiasm of life; the fruitful harvest of autumn, how could students not feel the joy of harvest; the vastness of winter not make students feel the joy of harvest. How could students not feel the magnificence of life in the snow-capped mountains? Without nature, one cannot cultivate his emotions, and without nature, he cannot cultivate his nature. While students feel the beauty of nature, their aesthetic taste will naturally improve. For example, one student wrote in his homework: I love this palm tree, not only because it decorates the campus with its year-round green color and unique appearance, but also because it is full of treasures and has a silent spirit of dedication.
2. Understand society. Students are members of society, how can we deprive them of the right to integrate into society? When teaching composition, attention should be paid to guiding students to observe and understand the society in which they live, and to enhance their sense of social responsibility. There are various forms of understanding society. Students can watch the news, read newspapers, listen to the radio, go to interviews, do surveys... to understand hot issues such as population, environment, counter-terrorism, technological development, etc. These are good essay topics. When students participate in society, they cannot help but feel admiration for those enthusiastic people who lend a helping hand to help poor children go to school; they cannot help but be filled with indignation towards countries that rely on hegemony to interfere in the political affairs and economy of other countries; they cannot help but have feelings about the successful launch of Shenzhou 6 and its orbit around the moon. Feeling of pride... When students care about and participate in society, the scope of their writing will naturally broaden, and their compositions will be closer to life and serve life better. For example, a student wrote in "Looking at the Chrysanthemum Exhibition": The stems of the silver needle chrysanthemum become thinner and thinner from bottom to top. Its leaves are not fat but very dense, and they are tightly hugged together. The flower shape of the silver needle chrysanthemum is not big, but its petals are very peculiar. The petals are as thin and long as pine needles. They spray out from the center of the flower, and countless "pine needles" surround it to form a beautiful chrysanthemum. No wonder Do people call it silver needle? ...Chrysanthemums have different shapes and colors. Looking at the colorful chrysanthemums, I can't help but sigh: Without the hard work of gardening workers, where would we have such beautiful chrysanthemums to appreciate?
3. Understand life. To understand life is to know others and know yourself. Everyone is a living individual with his own thoughts. The deeper his experience of life, the more touching his articles will be. Therefore, attention should be paid to guiding students to understand life. Look, he once gloated over the fact that he had teased the classmate who helped him study again and again, but after seeing her wipe away her tears again and again and still patiently lecture him on the topic, he suddenly regretted it; look, he saw his competition He made a glorious leap into the honor list, but he was left behind. How could he explain clearly what he felt in his heart at once? Look, everyone is busy with their studies every day, and suddenly he found a figure in the class who was serving everyone in obscurity... … Pay attention to the people and things around you, and you will find that life is so colorful. A nerd who "has no ears to hear what is happening outside the window and only reads the books of saints and sages" cannot write vivid articles, because he does not use his heart to live and feel, and there is no vivid life. For example, a student wrote in the exercise "Heaven and Hell" about love in class: Once upon a time, someone asked me: "What is heaven?" I said innocently: "It is to enjoy love without any worries!" "That hell" "It's a very painful place, without any trace of love." The man said the last sentence: "Actually, you are in heaven now." I was stunned, not understanding what he meant. Inadvertently, today's game ——The "choice of love" turned out to be the key to unlocking this mystery. ... There are only two people left who are closest to me on paper, one is my father and the other is my mother. Scene after scene appeared in front of my eyes: one long night after another, it was him, my father who had worked hard all day, accompanying me to do my homework. When I heard my father's snoozing sound, my heart broke. ; It was she, my mother, who stayed with me for several nights when I was sick in the hospital. When I saw her haggard face, my heart broke again... The rules of the game do not allow the existence of "love" , I followed the teacher’s ruthless instructions and endured the pain and cut off the relatives who loved me one after another... Now that I have cut them all off, I have nothing, no support, no support, and no love. The door to heaven is closed, and hell is approaching me little by little. Tears welled up like broken beads. There was a lot of crying in the classroom - all the students were crying.
...At this time, I understood "heaven" and "hell", I understood the words of strangers in the past, and I understood the teacher's intention: "Love" is around us, and what I want to cherish is the word "love"!
Composition is naturally connected with life. Composition reflects life and serves life. For students, composition itself is a special kind of life. Life is the only source of living water for composition. Composition is everywhere in life. Only when composition teaching is rooted in the fertile soil of life can it sprout, bloom and bear fruit.
