How to guide students to rewrite ancient poetry

"Rewriting ancient poetry" is one of the common exercises in the teaching of ancient poetry in senior primary schools. However, due to the limitation of poetry structure and sentence patterns, many students turn "rewriting" into pure poetry translation. Many teachers are puzzled about how to guide them to show the richness of rewriting works of ancient poetry and promote the development of students' written language.

The author believes that the rewriting of ancient poetry is a language practice of restoring artistic conception, that is, using the method of "restoring scenes" to describe the concise language, profound artistic conception and implied emotion of the original text. If we want to rewrite it concretely, richly and vividly, we must guide students to go further into the scene of the poet's incident, touch the poet's emotional pulse, learn to have a spiritual dialogue with the poet, and realize the "presence" of children. Students have a "sense of presence" and then expand their reasonable imagination, so as to better restore what the poet saw, heard and felt in words. Because of the span of time and space, it is difficult for students to walk into the artistic conception of poetry. As far as my personal experience is concerned, I often use "Lamian Noodles" as a guide:

First, rub and read the picture.

The so-called "kneading" means that, just like being a master of "Lamian Noodles", the dough will be tough after repeated pounding, kneading, pulling and falling. Every ancient poem is like a piece of dough. You have to make students read it repeatedly, understand every word, word and sentence of the ancient poem, read the interest and artistic conception in the poem, read the author's emotion, and then think about what the ancient poem mainly wrote. Is it a scene or a thing? Guide students to imprint these scenes and events deeply in their minds, form a complete picture, and keep showing it in their minds like a movie.

Second, pinch and collect pictures.

The master who makes "Lamian Noodles" will knead the dough and won't pull it out directly, because it is very laborious. They usually knead small dough into long strips according to customers' needs before starting to pull. When rewriting ancient poetry, we should also pinch out "small dough", that is, who, what and what scenes are extracted from the language of ancient poetry. Extracting these people, events and scenes is like showing a small picture in front of you, and writing it will lead to some clues. For example, rewriting "The Shepherd Boy" (the second volume of the fifth grade of People's Education Edition), we find that the people in the poem are the shepherd boy and the author Lv Yan, and the material is Yuanye, playing the flute, looking at the bright moon, and the scenery is Yuanye, and the night breeze is bright moon. By combing these people, events and scenes, we have formed a small picture that can be felt in detail, laying a solid foundation for describing the contents of ancient poems in detail.

Third, pull-enlarge the picture

As the saying goes, "Lamian Noodles is like a ball of thread, going down to the pot and catching chrysanthemum petals in the pot". This shows Lamian Noodles's kung fu, and Lamian Noodles's smoothness and flexibility. Ancient poetry is the essence of language concentration, and it is all words, generally only two or three crosses. In a short space, it highly condensed the poet's experience of nature, society, life and career. Rewriting ancient poems should restore these condensed languages to life pictures and restore the poet's feelings and significance. Therefore, after sorting out the people, events and scenes in the poem, we should, on the basis of conforming to the logic of life and according to our own understanding, choose what can stimulate our imagination most as the starting point, expand our reasonable imagination, and then write down the content of our thoughts smoothly and coherently. For example, if we rewrite Qiu Si (the first volume of the fifth grade of People's Education Edition), we can imagine the process of the poet's "writing letters" and "sending letters", describe the poet's language, movements and inner activities in detail, and add some descriptions of autumn scenery to better express the poet's long-standing "homesickness".

Fourth, cooking-comprehensive pictures

This refers to the form of the article presented after rewriting. According to the different personal experiences of students, we can change the person, writing style, structure and genre to increase the innovative color of the article. You can also appropriately supplement the background materials such as seasonal characteristics, weather conditions, geographical environment, identity of people, and causes of events. , so that the rewritten content is more concrete, vivid and vivid. In the form of expression, it is generally integrated into two categories: one is the generation of works, with the poet as the protagonist, restoring the artistic conception and emotion described in the poem and presenting the process of the poet's creation; The second is genre conversion, which is adapted into novels, scripts, letters, MTV shots, fairy tales and so on according to the artistic conception of the text and the author's emotions.
