Fourth unit

This unit takes the animals described by the writer as the theme, and arranges three works: Cat and Hen by Lao She and White Goose by Feng Zikai. Cat Class vividly describes the eccentric character of cats and the naughty and lovely kittens at full moon, while Hen describes the change of the author's attitude towards hens, shapes the great image of mother hen and expresses his admiration for his mother. In the article "White Goose", the author wrote the characteristics of the white goose from the aspects of cry, gait and eating equality, which is arrogant in the writer's works. Weird cats, loving and filial hens and proud white geese are useless, with distinctive personalities and lovely reading links. Other famous Chinese and foreign writers are also arranged to write articles or fragments about animals, which is intended to let students compare and experience the love of different writers for animals.

The language element of this unit is to understand how the author expresses his feelings for animals. On the basis of the first unit's preliminary experience and the thoughts and feelings expressed in the article, the requirements are put forward, which not only emphasize the feelings expressed in the article, but also emphasize how the author expresses them. The after-class exercises in the teaching materials and the communication platform in the Chinese Garden have subtly infiltrated the guidance of expression methods and the requirements of cat lessons. For example, we can see that the author likes cats very much. Hen class leads to the similarities and differences of expressions associated with different animals by the same author. The White Goose class requires understanding how the author wrote Pride clearly. The communication platform of Chinese Garden is permeated with expressions of belittling truth and praising truth by using examples in text and life. In addition, the cat class links the following fragments of respect and repeated writing about cats, asking students to understand the love of different writers for cats. In the course of White Goose, the Russian writer Yenosov's White Goose asks to talk about the similarities between the geese written by the two writers, which further implements the language elements of this unit.

The assignment of this unit is to write about your favorite animals and try to write down their characteristics. Different from the previous exercises of describing animals, this unit creates three different situations, and encourages students to create their own situations and express them as needed. In different situations, students' choice of exercise content and expression methods are different, and the expression of animal characteristics also points to different angles and emphases such as appearance and living habits. This unique arrangement aims to make students clear their dreams according to different communication and expression needs. The purpose and object are expressed in different contents and ways, so that students have a strong sense of object.

Several problems that should be paid attention to in unit teaching. First, we should grasp specific cases and understand the characteristics of animals. Second, we should guide students to pay attention to the writer's expression. Thirdly, students and authors live in different times and environments, and we may not always understand some unique expressions in the text. The writer's unique aesthetics may not be fully appreciated, and teachers should guide them in this respect.
