teaching process
First, import
1988, 75 nobel prize winners met in Paris, and one of them was asked, "where did you learn the most important thing?" The old man calmly replied, "That was in kindergarten." "What did you learn in kindergarten?" The old man continued: "I learned in kindergarten: give half of my things to my friends;" Never hit anyone; Don't take things that are not your own; Things should be placed neatly; Sorry for hurting others; Wash your hands before eating; Shy, ashamed; Have a rest after lunch; Singing and dancing; Observe nature carefully; We should unite and help each other; Always keep a surprised and curious heart ... "I don't think the Nobel Prize winner is grandstanding, he just wants to tell us to return to basics. This is what American contemporary writer Fulham told us. Now, please read this text and read Fulham's purpose.
Second, learning and analysis:
1, Robert Fulham, American contemporary writer and philosopher. In his experience, he worked as a cowboy, folk singer, IBM salesman, professional painter, parish priest, bartender, painting teacher and father. He and his wife live in a boathouse in Seattle. The main work is "As soon as you lie down, your body will catch fire".
2. About the purpose
The meaning at the beginning of the article is clear: "Everything I really need to know, that is, how to live, how to do things and how to be a person, I have learned it in kindergarten." Then, the article lists seventeen articles. The author thinks that "everything you need to know is in the above article". These rules are the most basic principles for people to live a normal and reasonable life, including personal hygiene habits, correctly handling relationships with others, maintaining enthusiasm and interest in life, admitting death and paying attention to observing things around them. The author further explains that any of the seventeen articles can be applied to adults, families, society, life and work, and even to government actions. Finally, the author emphasizes one of the seventeen articles: "When you go out to travel around the world, it is best to hold hands and lean close together." This emphasizes unity, mutual care and collective spirit among people.
3. What is the significance of asking the author to list these basic beliefs?
People often say that truth is simple. He also said that the most difficult thing in the world is to express the most complicated truth in the simplest language. There are no fixed standards for how to live, how to do things and how to be a man in contemporary social life, which is difficult for ordinary people to grasp and is also very scary. The author simplifies complex problems, is witty and humorous, full of warmth, and is easily accepted by people. As the article says, these creeds are "close to the truth, clear and solid", which is convenient for everyone to practice confidently and succeed. A Nobel Prize winner once said that he won the prize because he practiced the basic beliefs he learned in kindergarten.
4. What are the outstanding features of Tenet's writing?
Defining the purpose seems simple or absolute, but it is not. A Nobel Prize winner said that he won the prize mainly because he remembered and practiced the creed he learned in kindergarten. This article is short, focused, novel and easy to understand. The genius of this passage lies in that the author simplifies complex problems, makes it humorous, warm, easy to be accepted by people and willing to practice.
5. The structural diagram of Tenet is as follows.
I learned it in kindergarten.
Credo these things in work and life, will do.
Let me give you another piece of advice.
Third, students understand:
1. Please read the trivial things listed in the article to see what life rules are contained in them. (Students speak freely)
Key analysis: admit the miracle. Don't forget the tiny seeds in a polystyrene Petri dish: its roots grow downwards and its stems and leaves grow upwards. No one really knows what's going on or why. Almost all of us are the same.
Clearly: tiny seeds are "born" and "long", and naturally grow refers to a life, so the miracle we want to admit is to admit life, and regard life as a miracle, which naturally includes awe and respect for life. And "all of us are similar" means that "all of us" may even include more advanced life, but it is just a "tiny seed", so we should respect life, especially those weaker than us. Don't ignore it, just like the "killing the door" that happened by the river some time ago, it is definitely a kind of indifference to life.
Credo: kindness, fairness, civilization, responsibility, honesty, good living habits, knowing the taste of life, unity, friendship, fear of life, accepting death, being good at observing life, etc.
2. The Florida United Times commented on this article: "Good and bad, easy and difficult, complicated and simple life, strange and ordinary, are all clarified by Robert's simple and aura prose." This sentence tells us that these trivial things in life will affect our life. What sentences can you read from the text?
Clear: "Everything you need to know is in the above article.
"Take out any of the above items, infer a mature and accessible adulthood, and practice them in your family life, work, community or life circle."
3. Comment on this article in new york Daily News: "What an interesting book it is. It applies not only to individuals, whether adults or children, but also to various countries. " From this comment, we can see that these trivial matters are not only related to an individual's life, but also can be applied to a country, a political power and even the whole world. What sentences can you read from the text?
Clear: imagine a world where we will make a wish for all of us-the whole world-with biscuits and milk at three o'clock every afternoon, and then cover the blanket to sleep; Or, if all governments follow such a basic policy, return what they find and clean up their own stalls.
What do the words "think", "will" and "if" mean?
Clarity: it shows that the author hopes to have such a world, but in fact such a world has not yet appeared. (such as the power of the United States)
So, what characteristics does the author want the world to have?
Clarity: kindness, humanity, honesty, responsibility and respect for life.
Author's Comments: Fu Erhan is such a great man with the idea of universal love. There are also many such people among ancient China literati, such as Du Fu, who "guaranteed the world without poverty", and Fan Zhongyan, who "worried about the world first".
The author particularly emphasized what people in this world should have.
Clear: unity and mutual assistance
4. "Articles are combined with the times, and poetry is combined with things." Any literary work will be targeted. What phenomena or problems do you think Fulham's article aims at in the current society? (group discussion)
Clear: (some abnormal and unreasonable phenomena in the current society can be)
In the Baltimore Sun, this article commenting on Fulham said: "This is a good medicine to deal with the fear that afflicts us in this dangerous era." Fu erhan's Essays not only contains the principles that a person must follow all his life, but also contains the idea of fraternity and human rights consciousness on how to build a fair, harmonious and warm society. This is a great man. If his thoughts can be read by more people, it will change the living conditions of all mankind, the whole world, and even from human society to nature.

If this is an instinct, it just shows how noble the instinct of life is. Life has the right to think that it is magnificent, but its vitality is so unstoppable.
(5) Or just a group of small mountain flowers, mostly bitter dandelions. They are not as strong as their relatives in the field. Their stems look tough and old. Their leaves have lost their luster because of withering. They can no longer be used as fresh and tender wild vegetables, silently preparing reliable handholds for people to climb mountains.
