Discussion in Small Language Class: How to Teach Prose?

What does prose teach us from Yu Yongzheng's classes "Looking at the Moon" and "Tomato Sun"?

In these two classes, Mr. Yu Yongzheng teaches from the following points:

1. Introduce new lessons, learn about learning and teach words.

2. Grasp the key sentences, read aloud with emotion and understand the meaning.

3. In reading aloud for many times, understand emotions, and in prose teaching, focus on understanding the emotions that the author wants to express.

4, expand and extend, "Looking at the Moon" arranges writing exercises to write moonlight.

Because I relaxed a little two days ago, I just looked at the lesson plan and didn't write it down in detail. Another reason is that I feel that I don't have the courage to participate in the discussion, but choose to participate in the study.

Tonight's guest speaker is President Jiao Bingshu, and I specially forwarded and studied his speech:

Everyone's speech shows the current situation of Chinese teaching in primary and secondary schools: the actual level of classroom teaching is at least 50 years behind the current academic research.

As a Chinese textbook for primary and secondary schools, prose is the most popular genre. Its theoretical research is really very weak at present. Especially the first step of preparing lessons: text interpretation.

For a long time, few people are interested in the theoretical research of prose interpretation, so prose teaching is a dilemma that Chinese teachers in primary and secondary schools encounter almost every day.

Specific to the plight of prose reading teaching, mainly in two aspects: how to teach "this kind of prose" and how to teach "this kind of prose".

First of all, "this kind" prose articles must attach importance to the * * * characteristics of prose: by appreciating the accurate verbal expression of prose, we can experience and share the author's rich, delicate and unique life feelings.

For example, in the teaching record of "Tomato Sun", when teacher Yu Yongzheng was guiding the second and third paragraphs, he reminded students that there were two points to pay attention to when reading this paragraph. First, when a father says something to his daughter, he should pay attention to his tone and read it gently, slowly and kindly. Second, don't pronounce the word "laugh" at the same height. Read a book, listen to me, and see how the two points the teacher just said are read.

In another version of this lesson, he made it more clear: there is a little pain in mom's smile, so even if she smiles, her tone is not generally high.

There is also a sixth paragraph to guide the body odor. "Looking at her makes people feel distressed." When guiding the 13 natural section, guide the body odor to "follow people one by one" ...

Another example is the lesson of "Looking at the Moon". When the teacher conducted the 13 paragraph and the students finished reading it together, he "repeated emotionally:' Poetry, together with moonlight, bathed us and intoxicated us in a quiet and spacious atmosphere. ”"

Prose is a style between poetry and fiction. Poetry is the art of expressing words, novels are the art of expressing articles, and prose is the art of expressing sentences. As can be seen from the above examples, it is by guiding students to appreciate the accurate language expression of prose that teachers can make students realize and share Wei's unique life feelings to the maximum extent. Faithfully accepted the suggestion on reading teaching in the new Chinese curriculum standard: "Reading with emotion is required in the reading goal of each period, which means that students should taste the language, experience the emotional attitude of the author and his works, learn to read with appropriate tone and intonation, and express their understanding of the emotional attitude of the author and his works."

It is particularly important to emphasize that all these understandings and sharing are observation, knowledge and understanding. Students themselves realize that "there is such a person in the world, with such eyes, who can see such people, things and things;" There is another person in the world who has such a feeling and a feeling. They can have such feelings and have such thoughts. " It's not that the teacher stiffly labels these two articles as "sympathy" and "intoxication", but that the students "read with this feeling". The latter is that teachers want students to "possess" the author's experience, which is extremely undesirable, but this practice occupies a considerable market in Chinese classroom teaching in primary and secondary schools.

Secondly, besides paying attention to the characteristics of prose, we should also pay special attention to the characteristics of this prose.

As far as genre characteristics are concerned, although they are all essays, tomato sun is close to novels and full moon is close to poetry. The former focuses on writing human narrative, while the latter focuses on creating artistic conception. In the teacher's classroom teaching, we firmly grasp this difference.

For example, in the teaching record of Tomato Sun, the teacher provided the author's life story as reading support when guiding the 1 natural paragraph: the author Wei (Luo Yang) lost his legs in a car accident in senior three, and had to walk with crutches. Later, due to conflicts with his father, he rented a house alone and made a living by writing articles. In this way, teacher Yu not only established the connection between students and "this article", but also successfully established the connection between students' existing experience and the author's unique experience conveyed by "this article" prose, which is really a wonderful move.

When instructing paragraph 7 ~ 13, after the student practiced reading freely, he suddenly threw out a question: "Why did the author write here that the little girl heard that Wei was walking with a cane?" Students are repeatedly inspired by the teacher to "pay attention to the connection before and after". "Please read the words behind the text silently until you finish reading." Finally, the student suddenly realized: "I know. Later, he explicitly said that he would give his leg to the author when he grew up. If she hadn't written before, she knew that the author's leg was disabled. How can she say that? " So as to "improve my knowledge and ability of reading prose, that is, improve my Chinese experience." This is aimed at the so-called "instrumental" goal of Chinese curriculum.

In the lesson of "Looking at the Moon", Mr. Yu invited his students to be his nephews and write poems with him on the spot, in addition to the examples mentioned above. Finally, students are guided to "imagine themselves, close their eyes and imagine the moon." (The student closes his eyes and thinks, after a while-) The moon in your imagination must be beautiful, too. "The creation of all these artistic conceptions not only establishes the connection between students and this article, but also establishes the connection between students' existing experience and the unique experience conveyed by the author in this article.

I think that if Chinese teachers can pay attention to the "this" and "this kind of article" of prose at the same time as teachers, Chinese teachers in primary and secondary schools can get rid of the current predicament of prose reading teaching.

President Jiao's interpretation of these two lessons, from the theoretical point of view of what prose teaching teaches, focuses on how Teacher Yu guides students to understand the meaning of the text and feel the thoughts and feelings that the author wants to express.

I often study and analyze Yu Yongzheng's classroom teaching with the research group, but the interpretation is superficial. Although I have read "Essentials of Chinese Classroom Reading Teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools" by Professor Wang Rongsheng, I can't relate theoretical knowledge with classroom teaching. After listening to the speech of the teaching principal, I feel that I have read these theoretical knowledge in books, but I don't know how to analyze it. It seems that my reading is still superficial and I haven't thought.

? I will continue to work hard in the future. I can't relax my requirements and force myself to change my inertia and work hard!
