I love to recite poems. I even recite poems unknowingly when I am walking or cooking. Before I recite some poems, I don’t know their meaning. After reciting them repeatedly, I can As you slowly understand its meaning, you can also imagine the artistic conception described in the poem and experience the emotions expressed by the author. This made me realize: reading is the best way to understand poetry, imagine the artistic conception described by poetry, and experience the emotions expressed by poets. Therefore, in poetry teaching, I focus on students' recitation, allowing them to understand the meaning of poetry, imagine the artistic conception of poetry description, and experience the emotions expressed by poets in the process of repeated reading.
When teaching poetry, I will capture the competitive characteristics of primary school students and mobilize their enthusiasm for reciting poetry in the form of competitions. Whenever I ask students to recite a poem, I will say to the students: "Which student can recite this poem within the time specified by the teacher?" (Most of the ancient poems in primary school Chinese textbooks are short and concise. If students can recite it, With a high degree of concentration, you can memorize it in two or three minutes. Therefore, the time I set is mostly two to five minutes.) After I say this, the students will concentrate on practicing the recitation, because the students are thinking while practicing the recitation. With a high degree of concentration, they can memorize it in a shorter period of time. (Most students can recite it within two minutes)
After the students recite the poem, I ask them to talk about their understanding of the poem. Generally, I do not replace the students’ understanding with my own analysis and understanding. , only correcting grammatical errors in students' expressions. When understanding poetry, I always focus on the students’ language. For example, when teaching the poem "Send Yuan Er Envoy to Anxi", when understanding the poem "I urge you to drink another glass of wine, leaving Yangguan in the west without any old friends", some students understood it like this: "Friend, please Hurry up and drink this drink. When you leave here and go to Yangguan, you will never have to drink with this old friend again. "Some students also understood this: Come on, old friend, let us finish this drink. After you walk out of Yangguan, you may never see my old friend again. Some students understood it this way: "Friend, drink up this glass of wine at last. When you reach that distant Yangguan, it will be difficult to meet my old friend again." "Although the expression methods of these three students are different, their understandings are consistent with the meaning of the poem. This reflects the students' personalized reading and personalized understanding. In response to Professor Chen Yu's advocacy of "reciting by students independently" Mainly, downplaying the teacher's analysis and understanding."
After the students understood the meaning of the poem, I further guided them to imagine the artistic conception described in the poem. In guiding the students to imagine the meaning of the poem "Send Yuan Er Envoy to Anxi" When thinking about the artistic conception, I said to the students: "Now, let us close our eyes and imagine the artistic conception described in the poem while silently reciting this poem. After the students recited the poem silently, I asked: "What kind of scene appeared in front of you through reciting the poem silently?" "A classmate said: "I saw two people drinking in the inn. They were holding wine glasses and toasting each other. Another classmate said: "The willow tree appeared in front of me. In the drizzle, the willow tree looked more green. Behind the willow tree was an inn. Upstairs in the inn, Wang Wei and Yuan Er were drinking wine to their heart's content." "Although the scenes narrated by these two students are slightly different, it can be seen from their narrations that they have fully understood the poem, and the artistic conception they imagined is completely consistent with the content of the poem.
In short , Poetry teaching should focus on recitation, and help students understand the meaning of poetry through recitation, imagine the artistic conception described in the poem, and experience the emotions expressed by the poet.
