[Story Introduction]
This is a story about life. It calmly tells children the death of their loved ones and the ultimate care of life.
Death is mysterious to both children and adults. The death of a loved one is extremely regrettable and helpless, bringing people deep sorrow and even fear.
But "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa" is a very heart-warming story.
Little Bear will visit Grandpa every Friday. They have tea together, climb up to the tree house to see the scenery, and Grandpa Bear will also tell Little Bear stories. Grandpa Bear is getting older and older, and he can only sit on the sofa and tell stories to Little Bear. The last time I saw Grandpa Bear was in the hospital. Grandpa Bear didn't even have the energy to tell a story, so Little Bear told Grandpa Bear a story in turn... By the time the story was finished, Grandpa Bear had fallen asleep forever. The little bear sobbed in her mother's arms and said: "When I become a grandpa, I must be a good grandpa, just like grandpa."
The clues of the story are very simple and the text is very simple. The creation of the story's atmosphere and the rhythm of the narrative mainly rely on warm-colored images. The yellow earth, green trees and grass, red flowers, everything in the dusk is beautiful golden yellow. The artist did not even want to give the ward a cold tone. The hospital bed, pillows and quilts were all painted a sky blue similar to the study room. The yellow of the walls was very similar to the yellow in my grandfather’s house. There was also a handful of bright red on the quilt. Roses!
On the whole, the light and shadow in the picture are bright, with only two exceptions. One picture shows Grandpa's life at home, and the little bear climbed onto Grandpa's sofa. At this time, half of the picture is occupied by shadows, and the roses next to the desk lamp are also half pulled down, inadvertently hinting to the reader about the subsequent story. Another picture is when mother said that grandpa would not wake up again, she and the little bear hugged each other tightly, and a faint black shadow enveloped the surroundings.
The lines and shapes in the painting also create a warm atmosphere. Please pay special attention to the posture of Grandpa and Little Bear when they are together. Little Bear always leans forward towards Grandpa or bends over. Whether he was sitting or lying down, his eyes were always focused on the little bear, and his expression was always so peaceful! Until he fell into a sleep that he never woke up from, he was still so peaceful and awe-inspiring!
"Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves." - This picture book has been translated into 13 languages ??and won the British Children's Book Award and the French Cronos Literary Award. The book allows readers to feel the meaning of Tagore's poems. But you need to read it quietly and appreciate the poetry in the text and the situation in the painting.
When the little bear mother and her son hug each other and cry quietly in the tree house, the reader's eyes turn from behind them to the vibrant land, and there is some compassion in their hearts, but more solemnity What a sigh! The feeling brought about by death can be so magnificent! If we were little bears, we would also say excitedly: "When I grow up, I will be a good grandpa!"
Life is a precious gift, don't waste it!

Courseware, 38 picture books of "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa"
[Teaching Process]
1 , Pre-class poem introduction
Quote a poem by Jin Bo on the title page of the picture book
? "Grow up and be a good grandpa"
Do you know when Little Bear is happiest?
That was when he visited his grandfather.
They climbed up to the treehouse to see "The Three Bears",
to see "Goldilocks' River"...
But, on this day, Grandpa was sick,
Little Bear told him stories.
He told about them climbing up to the tree house to see "Three Bears Mountain",
to see "Goldilocks River"...
Grandpa listened. He fell asleep immediately,
He took the happiness that the little bear gave him,
fell asleep forever...
The students followed the soothing music together Recite this poem and get a preliminary feel for the meaning of the poem.
[Design Intention]
After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided to use a poem by the poet Jin Bo on the title page of the picture book. Although this poem is based on a picture book story, it is catchy to read, with warm warmth and a touch of sadness flowing between the lines, making it even more memorable. Children can suddenly enter the artistic conception of a story and poem while reading quietly, creating a good situation for the subsequent picture book teaching.
2. Use poetry and picture book covers to introduce stories.
1. Among the classmates, we just read a poem "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa" by Teacher Jin Bo. This poem is full of warmth and arouses the interest of many students. Their doubtful little eyes expressed their curiosity about this story to the teacher. Today we are going to walk into a touching picture book story "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa".
2. The courseware shows the cover of the picture book and guides students to carefully observe who is in the picture. Guess what they are doing based on their facial expressions? What did you feel?
3. Today we will walk into the picture book story "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa".
[Design Intention]
Borrowing the poem introduction from the title page of the picture book, many students will be curious about the story told in the poem, and they can’t wait to know what happened. I also showed the double-page cover through the courseware, so that the children could come out of the imagination and curiosity of the poem, be attracted by the characters in the picture, and be infected by the gentle warmth flowing in the picture. In an instant, the infinite meaning of the poem and the intuitive image of the picture are intertwined, and the children's hearts are also silently sketching a beautiful picture book story.
3. Listen carefully and feel the warmth of the story
Students, now we can see with our eyes, ears and hearts. We can follow Teacher Guan’s narration and quietly walk into Grandpa Bear’s house. The story with Little Bear!
1. The teacher flips through the courseware page by page and slowly and emotionally tells the picture book. In the middle, the teacher adjusts his tone according to the development of the story in the picture book and tries his best to bring the children into the situation with his voice. among.
2. Children listen quietly. Teachers should not ask questions and try not to interrupt the children’s wonderful journey of listening to stories and immersing themselves in imagination.
3. When the story is over, give the children a minute or two to reflect quietly and talk about their initial feelings after listening to the whole story.
[Design Intention]
This link is mainly about silence. The teacher talks quietly and the students listen quietly. As Chinese language teaching and picture book teaching continue to deepen, I increasingly discover the importance of teachers’ voices. Teachers’ voices must be emotional and have a sense of empathy. If a teacher wants to share a picture book story with children, he must first like the story and be deeply moved by it. When we truly like a picture book story from our hearts and see the divine light in the picture book story, we can convey the emotion of the picture book story through our voices. Especially when telling the story "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa", we ourselves were first moved by the story and indulged in the poetic, beautiful and warm words of the picture book. Only then can we use our own voices to convey the emotions of the story.
After the children listen to the story quietly, the teacher should not interrupt the students immediately and ask a lot of questions. It is necessary to give the children time to fully recall and experience the story, and let the children express their overall feelings, even if they cannot express them. As long as the story sinks into their hearts and makes them feel something.
4. Read the story further, sort out the plot, and think about and explore the theme of life that the story expresses.
1. Send the picture book to every student and give them time to read the story independently. They can look at the pictures they want and the words they like. This reading is a personalized process of re-reading, re-thinking, and re-examining, which is different from the teacher's narration for the first time.
2. After reading, the courseware will show the frame of the picture book story and let students talk about it themselves to sort out the general plot of the story.
Every Friday, Grandpa Bear and Little Bear will ( ), ( ? ) together. After they finished their snacks, they climbed up to the tree house and saw (?), (?), (), (?). Grandpa and Little Bear often climb to the tree house, whether it is ( ), ( ) or ( ), or even ( ).
Every Friday, when they climb up to the tree house and sit comfortably, Grandpa Bear always tells Little Bear ( ). Even if grandpa is sitting on the sofa, he will tell Little Bear ( ).
But one Friday, grandpa was sick and hospitalized. He didn't have the energy to tell Little Bear a story anymore, so Little Bear told Grandpa (?). At this time, Grandpa fell asleep, and fell asleep forever.
Little Bear and his mother were very sad. They returned to the house where their grandfather lived together, climbed into the tree house, and looked at the familiar scenery in the distance. Little Bear said: "(?)".
3. According to the plot summary table provided in the courseware, students first recall the content of the story, fill it in, talk about it, then communicate with each other at the same table, and finally show it to the whole class and talk about it. .
4. Students return to the picture book story again, find the part in the story that touches them the most, and talk about why they like it.
5. Students turn to the fourth page of the picture book, and boys and girls read the dialogue between Grandpa Bear and Little Bear in different roles. Grandpa Bear said: "Little Bear, life is like a precious gift. It must not be wasted." What does Grandpa Bear want to tell Little Bear? Guide students to combine their own real life and use their imagination to think about answers. Students only need to answer rationally.
6. Everyone continue to read pages 4-10 of the picture book carefully and observe the picture carefully. Little Bear and Grandpa are watching the scenery and telling stories in the tree house. What did you experience from it? Guide students to observe that in the picture, the grandfather and the little bear always look at each other, full of tenderness. Sometimes they look in the same direction at the same time, and they can experience the peace, happiness and tenderness between relatives.
7. But one Friday, when Little Bear went to visit his grandfather, they did not go to the tree house. Grandpa sat on the sofa and told Little Bear stories about his childhood. Guess what story grandpa will tell about his childhood?
8. The next Friday, Little Bear did not go to his grandfather’s house, but came to the hospital with his mother to see his grandfather. This time, Grandpa no longer had the energy to tell stories to Little Bear, so it was Little Bear who told Grandpa stories. After the story was told, grandpa fell asleep and fell asleep forever. How did Little Bear feel when his mother told him?
Students will guess that the little bear is sad based on the sad looks of the mother bear and the little bear in the picture. They will also answer and give the answer based on their real-life experience. When children can realize that their loved ones have died and can no longer accompany us to tell stories, watch the scenery, and eat snacks, they will slowly feel the meaning of life and what their grandfather said: "Life is like a Don’t waste precious gifts.”
9. Grandpa left, but Little Bear missed his grandpa very much. He and his mother came to the house where grandpa lived again, climbed up the tree house, and saw those familiar scenery. Let's help Little Bear recall. How many unforgettable and warm memories did Grandpa and Little Bear leave in the tree house? Students review the previous material again.
10. At the end of the story, Little Bear sobbed and said: "When I become a grandfather, I must be a good grandpa, just like Grandpa." Why did Little Bear say this?
Teacher summary: In fact, Little Bear wants to be a good person like his grandfather, bringing joy and happiness to others. Finally, let us read what grandpa said together: Life is like a precious gift, don’t waste it. The teacher also hopes that each of us will cherish our own lives, live our own wonderful lives, and be a good person like Grandpa Bear.
[Design Intention]
During the reading process, in order to let the children better understand the deep warmth expressed in the story, I let the children once again be independent When reading picture books, you can stay at the places you like for a while, and enjoy the pictures you like for a while. Because reading itself is a personalized behavior, different children like different things. Then, the children are helped to sort out the content of the picture book story by filling in the blanks. It is easier for children to understand the connotation of the picture book story based on being familiar with the storyline. Then I asked the children to give full play to their imagination, think about what grandpa said, imagine the stories grandpa told, and experience the mood of the little bear, etc. All these teaching activities of thinking and inquiry are helpful for children to further understand the relationship between Little Bear and Grandpa, and finally Little Bear’s mood after Grandpa’s death. On the basis of full affection, children will more easily understand the theme of the picture book - life is a precious gift, never waste it.
5. Write, draw and talk
(1) Write and draw in class to stimulate imagination
1. Guide students to observe carefully On page 19 of the picture book, guess who the big bear and the little bear are in the picture? Based on the plot, students will guess that the little bear grew up and stayed with his grandson, turned the tree house into a tree house, and painted it.
2. When Little Bear grows up and becomes Grandpa Bear, what story will happen between him and Little Bear? Students use their imagination to write and draw the story of what happened next.
(2) Extracurricular Writing and Drawing
1. Students, we read a very touching story together today - "Grow Up and Be a Good Grandpa". Let's go home and read Tell this story to your parents, and especially to your own grandfather. I believe it will be more interesting for you to read this story together.
2. Students, what interesting stories have happened between you and your grandfather? The teacher believes that your stories must be very exciting and interesting. Go home and chat with your grandpa to reminisce. Use the pen in your hand to write and draw, and try to give a name to the story between you and your grandpa!
(3) Talk based on the writing and drawing homework
After the writing and drawing homework is completed, let the children show their writing and drawing homework in the class according to the completion of the homework. , and told everyone the story between himself and his grandfather. I believe that with everyone’s wonderful sharing, each of our classmates will be able to gain more warmth and touch.
[Design Intention]
For writing and drawing assignments, I designed classroom writing and drawing and extracurricular extension. The focus of classroom writing and painting is on the basis of understanding the story of the picture book and using imagination to continue it. With an in-depth understanding of the story between Grandpa Bear and Little Bear, children will easily expand their thinking and imagine how Little Bear will become a good grandpa when he grows up.
The homework I designed for extracurricular extension has two angles. The first is to let the children tell the story to their parents, especially grandpa, or everyone can read the story together and experience it during parent-child reading. The value of family love and the beauty and preciousness of life. The second is to chat with my grandpa, recall the warm and interesting stories that happened between me and grandpa, and write and draw them. This assignment itself is to promote emotional communication with grandpa and allow children to learn to feel love.
After the children complete their writing and drawing homework at home, the teacher needs to take a look at the children's results and display them. During the results display session, let the children tell their own picture book stories, which not only stimulates their desire to express, improves their language expression, but also allows them to relive the deep love between them and their relatives. The implementation of a series of teaching activities has enhanced the children's awareness of life and deepened the parent-child relationship.
