Reading Courseware for the Fourth Grade Volume 1 "What is Happiness"

Textbook analysis: "What is Happiness" is a fairy tale. According to the order of story development, three shepherd boys discovered that an old spring in the woods no longer gushed water. They took the initiative to bring hoes and shovels. , dredge springs, dig ditches to divert water, build wells and cover them. They did this so that people could drink clean spring water. The wise daughter saw what they did, praised them for doing a good thing, and wished them happiness. At this time, the three shepherd boys did not understand what happiness was. The wise daughter does not directly tell them what happiness is, but guides them to figure it out for themselves. Then the story goes on that three shepherd boys met again next to the well ten years later. They saw the benefits that their labor brought to others: with spring water, trees grew vigorously, and people and animals could drink at any time. They feel happy about it. Looking back on their ten years of life experience, they have a deeper and more consistent understanding of what happiness is: feeling happy because their labor brings benefits to others. Finally, the wise daughter appears again, summarizing their experiences and revealing the meaning of happiness. This is a skimming text that allows students to understand the content of the story through self-reading and self-realization, understand what happiness is, and develop the ability to read independently; at the same time, it allows students to further experience some of the characteristics of fairy tales in terms of characters, storylines, and language expression.

Fairy tales are a literary genre that uses rich imagination, fantasy and exaggeration to shape images, reflect children's lives, educate children on their ideological and moral character or introduce scientific knowledge. In teaching, I try to let students directly enter the text, regard themselves as a member of the fairy tale, and understand the true meaning of the fairy tale while reading.
