Teaching content and steps
First, multimedia display.
I once shook hands with an invisible man.
There was a scream and my hand was burned.
Left a mark.
-North Island "electric shock"
What I thought I had forgotten has been hidden in a corner of my mind, flooding in like a tide; One has lost the trace of childhood, but it is alive in front of our eyes; Every teenager who picks wheat ears is attached to the fields and early years. Because there are not only difficulties and hardships here, but also songs and laughter; Not only the intentional spring sowing, but also the autumn harvest of love; Not only simple and immature, but also thinking and examining. So, today, we will go to "Picking Ears of Wheat" with the column "Art Life".
Second, live broadcast
1, the host appeared on the stage, announced the theme of the program (showing slides) and introduced the guests one by one.
2. Show computer courseware.
3. The author Jason introduced the creative experience and intention of "Picking Ears of Wheat". The main points are as follows:
My recent writing has paid more and more attention to capturing and measuring a state of mind, a lingering emotion or emotional environment, which, due to its profound fuzziness, tends to become more intense and inevitable with the unfolding of narrative. Therefore, the impulse to create this article comes from the sadness that is hard to get rid of. According to Freud, feeling sad about losing someone you love or something abstract may bring sadness and depression at the same time. For decades, there has been an unforgettable and inescapable sadness that makes me feel depressed and uneasy. This anxiety stems from my attachment to a weather-beaten old man who sold kitchen candy in my previous life. Unfortunately, he "died" when I grew up. For the warmth between the old and the young, I can't help reliving that past time and space with a pen, capturing children's memories as reflections of the adult world, looking for lost ideals, calling for simple and sincere love, and recalling the pure beauty of human nature.
Picking wheat ears needs to be dispersed, and most of the time teenagers who pick wheat ears are lonely. I walk in the field, and I walk in loneliness. Lonely scenery has a catalytic effect. My feelings and thoughts-putting printed cloth and sewn clothes out of wheat accumulated for many years into a bag and marrying an ideal man-broke ground and sprouted, turning green and growing tall in the wind, rain and sun. Unfortunately, those fantasies suddenly changed on the wedding day. Theoretically, people need material gain, but more spiritual freedom, so that they can live better and choose and create a better life path according to their own wishes. But the actual situation in the countryside at that time was hard, embarrassing and indifferent. In all kinds of desperation, I had to marry. Without other people's sympathy and concern, even I won't feel too sad. Imagine one, have a sweet dream, cough!
4. Interaction between guests and audience:
(1) The audience asked the guests questions. Students are confused about the interpretation of the text, and have a dialogue through collection and arrangement. )
A. What are the attitudes of "she" and "I" in the works after their dreams are shattered? (Please answer "she" and "I")
Tip: search for information, you can find the basis from the works.
After the dream-like expectation of "she" was interrupted alive in the works, she "married willingly and obediently" and accepted the cruel reality with a kind of primitive courage and ignorant toughness.
The "I" in the work, after learning the news of the death of the old man who loved himself and sold kitchen candy, "cried very sadly", "I often miss him and often want to find that crumpled cigarette bag like a pig's stomach". Besides mourning, I also have a longing and cherish for love.
B, what kind of thoughts and feelings does "The Tobacco Bag" place in the text? Why do I often want to find that tobacco pouch like a pig's stomach?
Tip: The "tobacco pouch" symbolizes a pure feeling between people. The author has been pursuing this kind of true love and lost dream after the death of the old man who sold stove candy.
C, do you think this feeling still exists in real life?
Multimedia display materials: Some time ago, the newspaper reported a news. An old lady was hit by a taxi on the road, and the driver ran away quickly. A man volunteered to take the old woman to the hospital and asked passers-by to leave contact information to prove what had happened, but no one wanted to sign it. Later, after the man and another unnamed truck driver took the old woman to the hospital, they were bitten by the old woman's family and identified him as the driver.
The host asked: Why are the feelings between people like this now? What is your ideal relationship between people?
Interactive communication between audience and guests
Tip: In reality, the disillusionment of village girls' dreams is the normal state of life, and we often encounter the disillusionment of love.
But our pursuit of true love has never stopped, although it may have been lost.
(Audience or guests can chat. Please talk about the real feelings you have felt and their influence on you. )
D. Audience Q: I always feel that the work is a bit like "Hanging the Red Lantern" directed by Zhang Yimou, which contains some kind of fate. Do you think the details in the article "Red Persimmon" have special meanings?
A: That's true. "Small fire persimmon" was written twice in the article, which is also bright red, but it contains different symbolic meanings because of different feelings before and after. I don't know, before the old man died, "I" only felt that the persimmon with a small fire could not be blown away by the wind, nor could it rain, nor could it be suppressed on a snowy night. That tenacious individual makes people feel that someone in the world may really be singing a happy love carol. But the fact is, even if persimmons are not picked, won't they get old? When you are old enough to land, the result can only be shattered. Therefore, "Picking the Ears of Wheat" has become a fable, asking people: whether to choose a routine life or to be a deviant in life and take the risk of life falling. "I" didn't give you a clear answer, but told the world gently: "I" often miss him and often want to find that tobacco pouch like a pig's stomach.
E, audience question: Teacher Zhang (student) So you didn't make a clear statement about my life choice after the death of the old man selling stove candy in your works. Things will change. Today, decades later, you should have our exact answer in your heart, right?
Students can guess from the author's intention to create this work at the beginning: Do you choose a normal life, or do you want to be an eccentric person and risk your life to fall? If you choose between the two, you will choose the latter. Because when a person loves and is loved without any hope and expectation, what is not worth paying the price of life?
(2) Guests ask questions to the audience. (The guest's question is actually inspired by the dialogue between teachers and students. By designing questions, students can have a new and higher dialogue. )
In the works, the "poor" old man selling stove candy changed from pity to care, from attachment to mourning and nostalgia. What does this emotional development give us?
The audience can have many interpretations, as long as it is meaningful.
A. The emotional changes of "I" all show "I"' s desire and persistence for love, dare to break through the secular prejudice, and eagerly look forward to and pursue "love".
B, two individuals of the opposite sex care about each other and are attached to each other. Pure love and sincere love, no matter how high or low, no matter how long, are the true meaning of love.
C, between the old and the young, there is indeed a long-term concern and a calm warmth, but due to the disparity in material conditions of love, it can only end with the death of the old man who sells stove candy. This longing can't stand the wind and rain, and this kind of love is not love in the modern sense. No wonder the author wrote at the end: "However, I don't know where it (wallet) was thrown." Yes, the fantasy of "I" is "at most like losing a beautiful dream".
Third, play music.
The host concluded: the behavior of human picking wheat ears has an ancient meaning, which reminds people of primitive humans and ancient poems. They know that people from the Tang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty and even more distant dynasties walked in the fields in this way, searching, hoping, meditating, lonely, loving and resentful. In this way, they walked from generation to generation, and today, our generation and future people will walk on this land forever. ...
