First, make clear the structure of the article.
First of all, we can grasp the theme of the text, which often directly reflects the main content of the article.
Seeing the topic of "holding a tree", a question will naturally arise in my mind: Who holds a tree? Why hug the tree? How to hug? So the main context of the text is naturally presented.
Secondly, you can try to add subtitles to the text. This is also a variation of text segmentation, but in comparison, students' interest will be stronger.
For example, in the lesson "Talepool the Hunter", the content of the text is relatively long, and students can't sort it out at the moment. Students can try to add a subtitle, and students have several answers: it is divided into two parts: "Saving the dragon girl's jewel" and "Saving the blind date from turning into a stone";
Divide into four parts, and separate the above two parts respectively; There are also students who are divided into three parts, namely, "Save the dragon girl and get the pearl" ... In mutual discussion, students can clearly grasp the development process of things.
Third, of course, the mastery of the text structure is based on reading the text. Students should read the text with the help of reference books and other methods for further understanding.
Second, find special sentences, such as general sentences, turning sentences and concluding sentences.
This kind of sentence can tell us the main content of the text well, such as Vienna, the city of music. At the beginning of the article, the general sentence tells us that "Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a world-famous music city." Then, the structure of the article is clarified with the words "Vienna is the cradle of European classical music", "Vienna is a city decorated with music", "Vienna can't live without music for almost a day" and "there are many opera houses and concert halls in Vienna, among which vienna state opera founded by 1869 is the most famous".
Third, the understanding of sentences.
There are always some key sentences in the text. How to find such a sentence in the full text sometimes requires the guidance of the teacher to find such a sentence.
For example, in the lesson of "Invisible Love", students can understand that the article describes the mother's love for her children. What sentences did they feel from it? Students will naturally take the initiative to find sentences describing the actions and language of maternal love, and understand maternal love from these sentences. To understand sentences, you can also find some sentences with rhetorical devices. Students can understand the author's intention by understanding their rhetorical devices. In addition, sentences can also be understood by comparison of variants. For some sentences with vivid and implicit descriptions, some sentences can be cited for comparison, so that students can feel the charm of the original sentence.
Fourth, the understanding of the text.
The understanding of characters should be the basis of the above aspects. However, the understanding of many words can not be felt simply by looking it up in a dictionary, but should be carried out together with the understanding of sentences. The understanding of some key words is also carried out while analyzing key sentences.
On how to appreciate famous works
1. What is a masterpiece? A masterpiece is such a book-even for a moment, it will make you feel part of the meaning of life. A masterpiece is a book that can stand the test of time, and it is a book from which hundreds of millions of readers can get special inspiration for many years.
Not many books can stand this test. Counting all the works published since the first time humans made stone tools with chisels, the famous works only account for a very small part-less than one thousandth of the total. Only a few thousand. Among these books, its solid core is less than 100.
Why should we read famous books and learn to appreciate them? I put forward three good reasons: first, famous books broaden your horizons; Second, masterpieces help you grow; Third, famous books help you understand life and yourself. The last point is very important. Famous books can give you insight into your inner world, which you can't get from other places. To be sure, you can get pleasure from many books; However, once you read a famous book, it will take you to a higher level.
I often hear people say, "Famous books are too difficult for me to understand." Let me give you some ideas to help you open this beautiful world. Take a famous book that you often say you want to read, and then read it according to the following suggestions!
5. Know what you are reading. Is this a novel, a drama, or a biography or a history? To understand this, you can consult the table of contents, read the cover and preface, or look up the title or author in the reader's encyclopedia.
6. Don't read in bed. I admit that reading famous books will be difficult, so you must have an active mind and keen organs. If you read in bed, you will feel sleepy, so when you start to doze off, you will complain about the book.
7. Don't be influenced by many people. Dostoevsky throws more than 50 main characters in his book The Brothers Karmadoff, and Tolstoy uses 22 long and complicated names in the first chapter of War and Peace, which makes your head swell. At this time, don't rush forward, keep reading, and gradually, these words will be clear; You will feel that being with them is just like being with old friends. You remember that many of your friends were strangers before they met.
8. Give the author a chance. Don't say "I don't understand" too early, but keep reading. Sometimes you may not be fully prepared for the book you want to read. I chewed Plato's Republic three times before I understood it. If you read it carefully but really don't understand it, you can put it aside for a day or a year and read another book first.
9. Long reading. Don't chew, the longer the sentence you read, the more you can integrate into the rhythm and emotion of the book, and the more fun you will get from it.
10. Read the books the author has read. For example, in order to write Julius Caesar and A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare carefully read the translated version of Northrop's biography. Any writer is the product of his time. Knowing the history at that time, the problems faced by writers and others and their attitudes will help you understand the writer's point of view. It doesn't matter if the writer's views are different, at least it makes you think.
1 1. Read books about the author's life. The more detailed you know about the writer's personal experience, the more you can understand why he wrote what he wrote. You will begin to understand the autobiographical tidbits hidden in the writer's works. It is impossible for a writer not to expose himself. Most of our guesses about Shakespeare are clues from his plays. 12. Read it again. All famous books can stand repeated reading. After reading a book, if you are interested and don't fully understand it, reread it immediately. You will find more things. If you read a famous book a few years ago and like it, read it again. There is so much to tell you in the book that you can hardly believe that it is the same book.
13. Don't just dip your toes in the deep water of famous works, and jump in. Like previous generations of wise men, you will feel that your soul has been inspired by the thoughts and opinions of the most talented writers in history.
