"I Have a Dream" Lesson 1
1. Design Concept
1. The starting point of Chinese teaching is text, and "language learning" is the deconstruction of text , an effective way to deepen the classroom. ?Feel the language - comprehend the language - accumulate language - use language? This is an effective way of language learning.
2 Oral recitation and mental comprehension is a classic technique for Chinese language learning. ?Returning the sound of books in the classroom? This is the pursuit of returning to nature in the new curriculum slogan. Chinese teaching under the current circumstances should strive to practice.
2. Academic Analysis
"I Have a Dream" is an easy-to-understand speech, and it is not difficult to understand the truth through the text. Unfortunately, students often have gaps in learning this article. The first is less emotional sex. Differences in historical background and social culture make it difficult for students to experience Martin Luther King’s blazing fraternity. Therefore, creating an emotional field through background introduction, text study, reading and feelings, etc. can help achieve empathy and understand emotions and reasons. The second is less language appreciation. Figuring out and understanding the role of speech language in expressing expressions should be the focus of this lesson. Once again, Shao recited his thoughts. There are many knowledge points, emotional points and ability points that this speech can touch upon, but no matter how it is designed, we cannot ignore the use of recitation to comprehend emotions.
Therefore, instructional design can establish the following three focuses. The first is to re-enlighten emotions. The main thread of feeling emotions runs through the whole course, fully stimulating students' emotional experience; the second is to emphasize taste. Feel the expressive meaning of the speech language through various language speculation methods such as deletion, modification, comparison, etc.; the third is to focus on recitation, and design multiple reading methods such as scattered reading, reading together, competitive reading, and role-based reading, etc., to make the classroom sound loud and clear. .

1Teacher’s demonstration analysis of the third paragraph
a. Creating an emotional field: Introduction to the background of the teacher’s work and model reading of the third paragraph.
During the construction period after the Civil War, the southern landowning class was unwilling to fail. They were very jealous when they saw that after liberation, blacks and whites were on an equal footing and enjoyed civil rights such as voting and jury participation. As a result, secret terrorist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan and the Knights of the White Camellia were formed, masked and dispatched at night to harass black residential areas or villages, burn down houses, destroy crops, whip or lynch black people at will, or force black people to leave. They moved to other places in an attempt to re-establish the absolute dominance of white people. According to official U.S. statistics, in the seventy years from 1882 to 1951, as many as 34.37 million black people were executed by execution in the United States (mainly in the South).
In order to deprive and restrict the rights of black people, white people in the South adopted various segregation measures; these measures spread to all parts of the United States, and many states even have laws expressly stipulating that all trains, trams, waiting rooms, schools, Isolation measures are implemented in parks, hotels, theaters, restaurants, auditoriums, elevators, stairs, and even prisons, prison camps, toilets, lunatic asylums, tuberculosis sanatoriums, juvenile reformatories, etc.
b. Students recite and classmates evaluate each other.
c. Text study.
(1) Comparison of deletions and modifications: Let students experience the lyrical effect of speech language forms through deletions and modifications.
(Original text) However, today, 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that black people have not yet been freed. Today, 100 years later, under the shackles of apartheid and racial discrimination, the lives of black people are being squeezed; today, 100 years later, black people are still living on an isolated island of poverty in a sea of ??material abundance; 100 years later, Today, black people still languish in the corners of American society and realize that they are exiles from their homeland. We are gathering here today to bring this appalling situation to light.
(Deleted excerpt) However, we must face the tragic fact that black people have not yet been freed. Under the shackles of apartheid and racial discrimination, black people's lives have been oppressed. Black people still live in a country with extreme inequality between rich and poor. Black people still shrink in the corners of American society and realize that they are exiles. We are gathering here today to bring this appalling situation to the public.
Comparative example: "Today, 100 years later" is repeated using parallelism and repetition techniques, which is majestic and full of passion. In contrast to the Emancipation Proclamation a hundred years ago, it reveals the tragic reality that black people still live in darkness. "A poor island in an ocean of material abundance" uses metaphor to express the tragic situation of black people being isolated and helpless. At the same time, the contrast between "ocean" and "isolated island" reveals the tragic reality of black people living in poverty. "Homeland" and "Exiles" form a contrast, using contrast to reveal anomalies and reveal the tragic reality of black people's lack of spiritual destination and security.
(2) Translation comparison: Compare the text translation with other translations, and feel the meaning of the language form by comparing the pros and cons of the translation.
(Text translation) Today, 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that black people have not yet been freed. Today, 100 years later, under the shackles of apartheid and racial discrimination, the lives of black people are being squeezed; today, 100 years later, black people are still living on an isolated island of poverty in a sea of ??material abundance; 100 years later, Today, black people still languish in the corners of American society and realize that they are exiles from their homeland. We are gathering here today to bring this appalling situation to light.
(Other translations) However, 100 years later, black people still have not gained freedom. 100 years later, black people are still hobbling miserably under the yoke of segregation and racial discrimination. 100 years later, black people still live on an isolated island of poverty in a sea of ??material prosperity. 100 years later, black people still weep in the corners of American society and still feel that they are homeless in their homeland. So we are here today to bring this appalling situation to light.
Comparative analysis: This translation has the characteristics of "image". Words such as "staggering" and "crying in the corner" give people a strong sense of picture; at the same time, the repetition of the word "still" helps to strengthen emotions and enhance momentum. The shortcoming is that the ranking of "100 years later" is not as impressive as "100 years later")
4. Accumulating language

When we act, we must ensure that we move forward courageously. We cannot retreat. Someone asked those who were passionate about the civil rights movement: When will you be satisfied?
As long as black people remain the victims of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality, we will never be satisfied.
We will never be satisfied as long as we are turned away from highway motels and city hotels after our journey.
We will never be satisfied as long as the negro's basic range of movement is limited to the narrow ghetto to the larger ghetto.
We will never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their individuality and dignity by a "Whites Only" sign.
We will never be satisfied as long as the Negroes of Mississippi cannot vote and the Negroes of New York State feel that they have nothing to do with it.
No, no, we will not be satisfied until justice flows like water and righteousness gushes out like a spring.

Friends, today I want to tell you that no matter what difficulties and setbacks I encounter now or in the future, I still have a dream. This dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream.

I have a dream that one day, in the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves will sit at the same table as the sons of former slave owners, as close as brothers.

I have a dream that one day my four little girls will live in a country where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the quality of their character.
I had a dream today.
I dream that one day, something will change in Alabama? Even though the state’s governor is still spouting what he wants to challenge federal edicts and refuse to enforce them? Where black children can live with white people? Children walk hand in hand like brothers and sisters.
I had a dream today.
I dream that one day, the deep valleys will be bridged, the mountains will be leveled, the cross roads will become smooth roads, and the winding paths will become thoroughfares, and the glory of God will reappear, and all living creatures will come to visit it.
Language taste
Delete: Remove? Today, I have a dream?, will the effect change?

Corresponding translations of paragraphs 8-9
However, there are some things I must say to those who stand on the dangerous threshold leading to the Palace of Justice. As we strive for legal status, we must not do anything wrong that leads to crime. We must not drink the bitter wine of hatred to quench our thirst for freedom. We should always fight with decency and discipline. We cannot allow our creative protests to degenerate into violent actions. We should constantly rise to the lofty realm of using the power of the soul to deal with the power of the body.
The new miraculous fighting spirit sweeping through black society should not lead us to distrust all white people? Because many white brothers have realized that their fate is closely linked with ours, and their fate is closely linked to ours. Freedom is closely related to our freedom. The fact that they are here today at the rally is proof of that.
Focus on the eighth paragraph: Although this paragraph is not as powerful and lyrical as other paragraphs, it is not without emotion. Martin Luther King has always advocated non-violent struggle in an unquestionable tone, with a resolute attitude and a clear voice. This determination reveals the philanthropic sentiments of Martin Luther King. It is advisable to analyze the words that express a firm attitude in the article.
