What is happiness? A Case Study of Extracurricular Reading Teaching

Teaching case of "What is happiness"

Case background

The article What is Happiness is an interesting fairy tale. The story tells of three shepherds seeking happiness under the guidance of their wise daughter. Ten years later, through their own experience, they understand that happiness depends on labor, on fulfilling their obligations and doing things that are beneficial to people.

Happiness is a familiar topic, but it is not easy to say clearly what happiness is. Fairy tales want to tell people the true meaning of happiness through an interesting story. The article focuses on the words of three young people, but omits the specific process of finding them. This kind of blank is also lacking in students' experience. How to make students realize the true meaning of happiness from their words has become the difficulty of this class. Based on the above situation, I have formulated the following teaching objectives and learning strategies.

Teaching objectives:

1, knowledge goal: to understand the characteristics of fairy tales; Can sort out the context of the story, read the content of the story, and understand the meaning of happiness.

2. Process and method objectives: the ability to collect and process information, enrich learning resources and enrich feelings; Improve the ability of cooperative inquiry.

3. Emotional goal: discover the happiness around you, feel the happiness you bring to others or others, and know how to cherish happiness.

Learning strategies:

1. Collect the deeds of seeking benefits for others in real life and accumulate life experience.

2. Understand the meaning of three youth words with real-life examples.

3. Make up fairy tales to deepen understanding.

4. Write a review and internalize your emotions.

Teaching steps:

First, self-study the text and clarify the context.

Second, stick to the theme, since the enlightenment read by himself.

Third, contact with reality and deepen understanding.

Fourth, expand and extend, and have multiple feelings.

Case description:

Read the story in the title

I sang "Happy Clapping Songs" with my classmates, and started this class by singing. In a warm atmosphere, I asked such a question: "Students, we can express happiness in many ways, but what is happiness?" (Students are suddenly startled) "Today, let's learn a fairy tale" What is Happiness "and see if we can find the answer to this question from the story." Ask the students to write on the blackboard and read the questions aloud. )

Then I asked the students to read the text carefully and think about what kind of story the text told.

Students are free to read the text, teachers patrol, correct incorrect reading posture, and pay attention to students' reactions. )

Students report their reading.

Zhang Fei: The text tells the story of three young people looking for happiness.

Lin Yanling: I think what Zhang Fei said is too simple. This article tells that ten years ago, three young people dug a spring and dug a well for people. Smart daughters thank them on behalf of people and wish them happiness, but they don't understand what happiness is, so smart daughters let them find it themselves. Ten years later, they understood what happiness was.

Students evaluate the answers of two students. )

Health: Zhang Fei's simplicity.

Health: Lin's concreteness.

Teacher: Do these three young people understand what happiness is?

Health: Happiness depends on labor. We should do our part and do things that are meaningful to people.

Teacher: How did they find out? Please read the text again and underline the relevant sentences in the text.

Students draw while reading.

Fill in the blanks and realize a deep dialogue with the text.

Students draw sentences, read texts and communicate. The teacher summed it up. Everything is done by the book. If we end this learning session at this time, it seems that the students have understood the content of the text, but in fact, the experiences of these three young people are far from the students' life experiences, and the children can't really appreciate the happiness. So my camera throws a question: Why do these three young people feel happy? Hearing this, the children froze. They may never have thought about such a problem. So I guided them: imagine their stories in these ten years. The students used their imagination to make up a touching story.

For example, the first young man broke up with them and went to a city. He studied hard at school and eventually became a famous local doctor. This year, disaster befell the city, and there was a plague here. Many people left the city to escape the plague, leaving only those suffering patients. As a doctor, he is more aware of the threat of plague than others, but he has no choice but to study a cure for this plague. With his efforts, a miracle appeared, and he eliminated the plague with a unique formula. People who have left their homes have returned to the city where they were born, and the cities that were depressed in the past have gradually recovered their prosperity.

If students only stayed at the surface of understanding at first, they should have a little more emotional experience now. See and raised his hand:

"Teacher, in fact, we also have such people in real life. During the SARS period, those angels in white, especially Ye Xin and Deng Xixian who died, gave their lives for the patients. "

The class began to heat up, and the students scrambled to say what they knew.

For example, isn't uncle Lei Feng, whom we are all familiar with, such a person? He traveled a thousand miles on business and did a good job. On the way, I helped my sister-in-law hold the children, sent them home, and helped the conductor clean up. He wrote in his diary: "

In the process of telling and communicating, they realize why these people can do this because they understand their responsibilities, fulfill their responsibilities for others and do something beneficial to others, and they are happy for it.

Zhang Zhang, who has always been "rebellious", is amazing again:

"I don't think of these good people, but those corrupt officials and corrupt elements. They don't care about their duties, they can't do their duties, but they harm the people. "

I think I have weighed the weight of happiness in children's hearts.

Multiple feelings lead to thinking about life.

If the teaching in the first paragraph is generated by presupposition, then the following class should be natural.

Huang Xing first "challenged": "Teacher, are you happy?"

I answered him very positively. At the same time, I also asked my classmates, "Are you happy, son?"

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. There was an uproar in the classroom.

"Last semester, the teacher asked me to make up lessons for several students with poor grades. I was very reluctant at first, and then I saw that they made progress with my help, and I felt very sweet. "

"I am very happy. I have the care of my parents."

"I will feel very happy when I look at a lot of presents on my birthday."

……

At that time, many parents were also sitting in the classroom. I am not in a hurry to judge the students' answers. I gave the topic to my parents. Parents: "Happiness is the joy of seeing children grow up healthily and get good grades in their studies." Many parents have expressed their views.

It turns out that happiness is diverse, and the passion of children and parents infected me. I said, "Happiness is a spiritual tremor. Her body is covered with rain and dew, with fragrance, wrapped in a simple coat, kind and warm. She is always lonely and helpless. What she sees is happiness, just like the green in her heart when spring comes. Seeing happiness is like seeing the sun in a cold winter. She is unconsciously in the center.

The class is almost over, but the students' spirits are still high. I assigned an assignment: write a short essay with happiness as the main topic.

Student thesis:

Happiness is sharing.

Zhangzhang

"It's good to have everyone." This is a sentence in Fang La shampoo advertisement, but it is a wise saying.

Isn't it? Just like the article "What is Happiness", the first young man became a doctor and saved many people, so he was happy; The second young man wandered around, but he made contributions to people, so he was also happy; The third young man is a farmer. The wheat he grows feeds many people, and he is also very happy. The three of them are happy because they make others happy, others are happy and they are happy.

Therefore, a person's happiness is not really happy, but everyone's happiness is really happy.

I hope everyone is happy, and I hope others who are happy are also happy!

I found happiness.

Wen Jie Jun

What is happiness? In the eyes of others, happiness means family happiness, and the family lives in harmony. I found my happiness last Wednesday.

Zheng Pengfei, a member of our team, got poor grades because he was careless in class and had no homework. I was the best student in math in my class, so I began to tutor him. At first, he was not serious. When I tell him, he always looks around and doesn't listen at all. After I said a few words to him, he began to listen. Open his exercise book. Wow, it's all C's. I have to tell him a question. But the more you talk, the more trouble you get. It's really that Wen Jie met a soldier-I'm not sure, but fortunately he finally understood.

Time passes by, from 4: 30 to 5: 30. I am anxious, but I know I can't be anxious at this time. In this way, I finished all the wrong questions about hunger urgently and patiently. The next day, in the math exam, he scored more than 80 points for the first time. As soon as I heard the news, I really didn't know what it was like. It seemed that I had found a feeling I had never had before, and now I know it is happiness!

case analysis

1, recreating imagination and realizing deep dialogue with the text.

While attaching importance to textbooks and classroom teaching, we should guide students to go beyond the text and classroom appropriately in reading imagination, that is, let students use the gaps left by some texts to expand their imagination, use their own life experience and knowledge gained from extracurricular reading materials to process and recreate information and explore the deep meaning of the text. For example, in this class, it is difficult for students to experience the happiness from the three young people's own narratives. So I guided them to imagine specific stories and get real feelings from living examples. According to their original experience and knowledge gained from extra-curricular books, the students re-imagined in real life and compiled many touching stories, which led to heroic deeds. In their minds, happiness is no longer abstract, but some living tangible entities.

2. More perception, reflecting the humanistic characteristics of Chinese.

The theme of fairy tales is that happiness depends on labor, doing one's duty and doing something beneficial to others. This theme is obviously of great significance for students to establish correct values. But in fact, happiness does have many meanings. Loving others is a kind of happiness, being loved by others is also a kind of happiness, giving is a kind of happiness, and waiting is also a kind of happiness. Students can't make such a summary, but they tell their own lives. We should be sure of it. At the end of this class, many students, including parents, said a lot of feelings different from the text, which were true and worthy of respect.
