What are the preparations for children to participate in poetry and prose imitation activities?

The Guiding Outline of Kindergarten Education clearly points out: "We should create an environment for children who want to speak, dare to speak, like to speak, have the opportunity to speak and get a positive response", "Encourage children to express their thoughts and feelings boldly and clearly, try to explain and describe simple things or processes, and develop children's language expression ability and thinking ability". Poetry is an important part of kindergarten language teaching and one of the important tools to cultivate children's oral English. Poetry has the characteristics of beautiful artistic conception, refined language, rich imagination and rhyme, which is catchy to read and deeply loved by children. How to give full play to the important role of poetry teaching, help children create a suitable language environment while learning to appreciate literary works, give full play to children's imagination and innovative consciousness, make their learning transcend texts and further sublimate innovative consciousness? In recent years, I have carried out research and discussion on poetry imitation teaching activities in middle and large classes, that is, on the basis of appreciating poetry and understanding the content and structure of poetry, I have created a series of activity environments for children, guided children to actively learn and understand poetry, guided children to perceive and grasp poetry from the inherent laws of poetry, and mobilized their imagination, creatively used their language skills, and carried out poetry imitation activities in the activity environment, which has received good results, stimulated their curiosity and developed children.

First, create a good environment for poetry imitation activities and stimulate children's interest in poetry imitation.

Interest is the beginning of children's knowledge. Einstein once said: "Interest is the best teacher". Children are young, have specific thinking images, and are born with strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Teachers must fully grasp this feature, start with stimulating children's interest and thirst for knowledge, and cultivate children's oral expression ability purposefully, planned and step by step, instead of letting children memorize some beautiful words mechanically. Therefore, it is very important to create a good language environment and stimulate children's interest in speaking.

1. Change the strategy of education and try to guide children to nature. To cultivate children's desire to speak, we must start with their life experiences. If spring comes, we will take our children to nature and let them look for spring in the colorful nature. When autumn comes, we will take our children to fields, orchards and other places to enjoy the natural beauty of autumn. While the child's sensory organs are satisfied, the teacher guides the child to observe carefully and make full use of various favorable conditions to let the child accumulate perceptual knowledge. On the basis of children's perceptual knowledge, children can't help exclaiming "Spring is beautiful, I love it", "Snow White Pear", "Pink Peach Blossom", "Red Persimmon is like a lantern dragon" and "Huang Chengcheng Rice", thus sprouting their desire to say, dare to say and love to say.

2. Create various corners for children to see and speak. District corner activities are an important way to achieve educational goals and promote the all-round and harmonious development of children's body and mind. Can provide children with more opportunities to carry out activities according to their own interests and abilities. Therefore, we create various pictures, books and other areas for children, put some pictures reflecting children's interest in life, the characteristics of the four seasons, natural changes and social phenomena in the picture corner, and cut and paste some pictures of pictorial and magazines for children to enjoy, so that children can watch middle school, middle school, middle school and middle school, which can not only expand their horizons, but also greatly improve their language expression ability. Similarly, the planting angle and breeding angle created for young children can also play the same role. Therefore, creating a good language environment is a necessary condition to inspire children to imitate poetry and stimulate their interest in imitating poetry.

Second, guide children to master the method of imitating poetry step by step.

Before copying poems, teachers should first fully explore the copyable side of poetry textbooks and the actual situation of children in this class, and arrange the capacity and difficulty of poems step by step, so that each child can experience the fun of copying poems as much as possible.

1. Learn, appreciate and experience activities. Learning, appreciation and experience are the preconditions of poetry imitation. Teachers can learn poetry through pictures, multimedia and other forms and experience the artistic conception of poetry. For example, the children's poem "The Moon", on the basis of repeatedly looking at pictures and appreciating poems, puts forward questions to discuss with children: Where did the bird, frog and baby see the moon respectively? How do they feel? Why do you say that? ..... In this way, while children understand the works, they can listen to the poems repeatedly with vivid pictures and teachers' enlightening questions, so that children can have a further understanding of the contents of the poems and works.

2. Analyze the language structure of imitation works. Before children copy poems, teachers must guide children to appreciate the works repeatedly, gradually understand the content and structure of the works and understand the format of the works. On this basis, guide children to analyze the structure of imitation works. For example, in the poem "Where is Spring", the first sentence asks where spring is, the second sentence answers, the third, fourth and fifth sentences show the beautiful scenery of spring, the sixth sentence tells you to sing happily after seeing the beautiful scenery of spring, and the last sentence repeats the second sentence. Through the teacher's analysis, the children quickly mastered the structure and format of poetry.

Third, guide children to gradually expand their thinking and learn to imitate poetry.

Imitation poetry is a two-way transfer between original experience and new experience, which expands thinking and mobilizes all children's knowledge and experience to participate in imitation and realize this transfer. Our main methods are:

Environment rendering method. "Kindergarten Education Outline" clearly points out: "The environment is an important educational resource, and the development of children should be effectively promoted through the creation and utilization of the environment". Language is the manifestation of thinking, and the basis of thinking is perception. Only by seeing more and feeling more can children get a variety of sensory stimuli, stimulate their thinking ability and gain rich perceptual knowledge, and then they can have the content to express and produce the desire to express in language. Therefore, the rendering of the environment creates the necessary conditions for children to learn to imitate poetry. For example, in the poem "Summer Night", the teacher arranged some pictures of lotus leaves and dew, stars in the sky, cribs and babies on summer nights. Inspire children to imagine that the dream of dew is green, the dream of stars is bright and the dream of baby is sweet.

2. Material prompt method. Teachers can copy the poem "Green World" with the help of a certain picture or material. For example, they can provide children with glasses of various colors (or transparent colored paper), so that children can compile "Blue World" with blue glasses and "Red World" with red glasses. Another example is the poem "Many Fruits in Autumn". We provide children with plates, all kinds of fruits and a small picture of fruits. When children see objects and pictures, they can quickly copy and edit new poems according to the format of the poems.

3. Situational performance method. Situational performance method is that teachers design a situation similar to real life to perform according to the characteristics of children's physical and mental development and closely follow the teaching content. Situational performance is intuitive, vivid and interesting, which can arouse children's interest in observation and desire for imitation, indicating that teaching can achieve twice the result with half the effort. For example, in the poem "Zhang Xiaohua", the teacher performs situational performances in advance according to the content of the poem, so that children can appreciate it, deepen their understanding of the content of the work, and let the children draw inferences and make different poems.
