How to stimulate students' interest in homework

About the author: Dong Caiyu, a teacher at No.3 Middle School in Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province.

When learning Chinese, students are most afraid of writing. After the teacher assigned the composition, many students pulled a long face, crustily skin of head patchwork and perfunctory completion. How to change "bitter writing" into "happy writing" and "afraid of writing" into "like writing" and make writing a pleasure for students? The author thinks that the key is to stimulate students' interest in writing. If you are willing and interested in doing anything, you can do it actively and seriously. Therefore, in order to improve students' writing enthusiasm, we should first cultivate their interest in writing and stimulate their writing motivation. We can adopt some methods:

First, observe and feel life and stimulate students' interest in writing

Literary creation comes from life. "Chinese Curriculum Standard" points out: "Chinese curriculum should be rooted in reality, open and full of innovative vitality." Only when students are often guided purposefully to observe life, experience the sweetness, sour, bitter and spicy in life, enrich their personal feelings, accumulate writing materials, and write a composition to have something to say, something to write and feelings to express. Things are happening around us every day, no matter how big or small, good or bad, as long as students pay attention to observation, collection and experience, they will get a lot of life materials. When writing, these materials will be handy, organized, processed and re-created, which will become a meaningful, novel and lively work. For example, when students enter junior high school and enter a new environment, they will observe everything around them with curious eyes. The author reduces the difficulty of composition and asks them to record what they see, hear, think or experience personally. Every student can successfully complete the composition. Because I have a lot of writing materials, I can write a composition with ease. The author takes the opportunity to tell the students that writing is to observe with his own eyes, understand and feel life with his own heart, and tap the most familiar and touching treasure in life. In this way, starting from the things around us, students' enthusiasm for writing is fully mobilized.

Second, strive to create scenes to stimulate interest in writing

Mr. Ye Shengtao once said, "Life is like a source, and articles are like a stream. The source is abundant and inexhaustible, and the stream is lively and flowing. " Our life is rich and colorful. Why not make full use of this rich resource to create a writing situation for students, so that they can devote themselves to writing independently? According to the characteristics of students' favorite activities, the author comprehensively considers the composition training items in the text and classifies them into various activities, so that students can get writing materials in a happy atmosphere and create a "big environment" for their writing. For example, organizing students to visit painting and calligraphy exhibitions, history museum activities, carrying out activities such as poetry reading, basketball games, respecting the elderly, clearing small advertisements, and sweeping the tombs of martyrs at Qingming Festival, etc., as a continuation and supplement to the classroom, these interesting activities left a deep impression on students, which can not only arouse students' memories and stimulate their interest in writing, but also make students' ideas fluent and cause things to happen, and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Third, combine Chinese textbooks to stimulate writing interest

Middle school students are imitative. Imitation is the need of middle school students' learning and the necessary way of learning. This is true from dressing and eating, singing and dancing to writing and painting. Therefore, students also need examples and model essays when learning to write and train. Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Chinese textbooks are nothing more than examples. With this example, students should be able to draw inferences and practice their proficiency in reading and composition." Indeed, the articles selected in Chinese textbooks are excellent works with both literary quality and beauty, which combine lofty ideological realm, unique writing skills and fluent language style, and are the best model essays for students to learn to write. Select the articles suitable for students to imitate from the teaching materials as examples of students' writing. Students are like drawing with a template and practicing calligraphy with copybooks, which will naturally be handy. It will be of great help to write a good composition if we thoroughly understand these article study's ideological content, writing skills and writing characteristics. Teachers should combine explaining the writing characteristics of model essays with guiding students' writing. The article "Mr. Fujino" wrote four typical examples of the communication between "I" and Mr. Fujino: revising the lecture notes for "I", correcting the anatomical map for "I", caring about the anatomical practice of "I" and understanding the foot-binding of women in China, which reflected his rigorous, meticulous, upright and enthusiastic academic qualities without narrow national prejudice. Combined with the writing characteristics of this paper, the author has practiced writing in class. Requirements: Write about someone you are familiar with. Highlight the character quality with typical examples; Arrange the materials carefully and properly; Transition between cases is natural; Pay attention to depicting the characters' demeanor when narrating. Applying what you have learned, this kind of training has rules to follow, which reduces the difficulty of composition, and "helps" before "releases", which excludes some students' fear of difficulties.

Fourth, reform evaluation methods to stimulate students' interest in writing

Evaluation of students' writing is an important link in writing teaching, and the evaluation function of evaluation will affect students' interest in writing. In order to give full play to the incentive function of evaluation and improve writing interest and ability, the traditional composition evaluation method should be reformed. In teaching, we should first point out the success of those compositions that can't get high marks for the time being, help students build up confidence, and then tell students what needs to be revised, and teachers will evaluate and grade them according to the revised compositions of students. Not only should we delay the evaluation of a composition, but we should also evaluate it many times. A composition gets a score, which makes the students' writing level a constant, and objectively obliterates the possibility of their progress. When we evaluate students' compositions, we practice one article more, and every time we practice a little, we will add a score. In this way, the traditional "isolated and static" exercise behavior is transformed into a process and dynamic composition. It not only gives students opportunities, but also arouses their interest. Evaluating composition is not only for teachers, but also for students. Through self-evaluation, students can understand their own progress, find existing problems, correct mistakes in time, and form a good habit of self-revision of articles. The way we let students participate in composition evaluation is to let them understand and gradually master the criteria of composition evaluation, such as the details, theme, beginning and end of the article, and then organize students to conduct self-evaluation and mutual evaluation. Finally, students choose excellent works according to their own evaluation. In a word, it is imperative to reform the evaluation method of composition in order to make students the masters of composition.

5. Appreciate success and stimulate interest in writing

Students' works are expected to be appreciated by teachers and praised by classmates. Without applause and appreciation, it is impossible to meet the needs of self-realization. Psychologist Rogers said: "I believe that people have a natural tendency to learn spontaneously, but he is only interested in knowledge that can greatly influence personal behavior." According to the characteristics of students' learning motivation, it is not only the knowledge itself that has a great influence on their behavior, but also the evaluation of others on themselves. Therefore, appreciative evaluation is the first step to promote their successful writing. The core of appreciation is: "You can't write, teach you to write, you don't like to write, so you like to write." The characteristic is to let students experience the happiness of success in the process of learning composition.

marking is an important process of writing teaching, and it is also a process of learning language and understanding the rules of writing. Therefore, teachers should do a good job in this link, do a good job in composition evaluation and correction, so that every student can experience success and stimulate creative enthusiasm. How to do the work of correcting praise? In my opinion, teachers should fully discover the Excellence of each composition, especially the progress of students according to their original writing level. For example, if you use a word well, write a beautiful sentence, have a novel beginning, a unique idea or a wonderful paragraph, teachers should give full affirmation, guide students to evaluate and correct with appreciation eyes, and encourage them with praise language, so that every student can feel satisfied, experience the joy of success and stimulate creative enthusiasm. As the saying goes, "I never tire of it". To learn something well, interest is crucial. In composition teaching, we must never ignore the power of encouragement. Encouragement is the internal motivation to promote students' creation and an important way to improve their writing level. For those students whose writing level is not high, teachers should appreciate every little progress in the process of students' composition and pay attention to approving every advantage in students' sentence-making with words; For students with strong writing ability, teachers should put forward slightly higher requirements as far as possible, so as to fully affirm their success and point out their shortcomings. In this way, all students can experience the joy of success and have a strong interest in writing. [2] Ministry of Education. Chinese Curriculum Standards (Experimental Draft) [S].
