Attached are teaching reflections:
"Window" is a micro-novel written by Australian writer Tygart, which is included in the second volume of Jiangsu Education Edition's eighth-grade "Chinese". This novel is extremely rich in connotation and describes a story about windows that happened in a small ward in a hospital.
The narrow ward can only accommodate two beds, with only one door and one window. However, there are two critically ill patients in the ward, and they can only rest. The patient near the window is allowed to sit upright for two hours a day and can see outside through the window. This contradiction in unfair distribution foreshadows the novel.
Patients near the window are allowed to sit upright for two hours, while patients far away from the window can only lie quietly on the bed day and night. From this, it can be seen that those with milder conditions should be those near the window. patient. The near-window patients and the far-window patients talk about the beautiful scenery outside the window for an hour every morning and afternoon, which not only entertains others, but also entertains themselves. It can be seen that the patient near the window is a person who loves life, is broad-minded, and is self-sacrificing. His broad-minded, peaceful and optimistic attitude should help alleviate his condition. Judging from the subsequent situation, his condition is getting worse day by day. Therefore, patients near the window may have less self-entertainment, and more importantly, entertain others. He worked so hard to fabricate the beautiful scenery outside the window for the patients in Yuanchuang to inspire them to have the courage to survive, so much so that they gave up their own time to rest, which ultimately led to the worsening of the condition. The patient in Yuanchuang listened with gusto at first and thought it was a kind of enjoyment. However, his jealousy broke out viciously. Although he tried to restrain himself, it had no effect. Instead, it became more intense, and developed from being vicious towards things to being vicious towards people. Due to an unbalanced mentality, Yuanchuang's patients are getting worse day by day, but doctors don't know the cause. This stroke is also the writer's ingenious conception. It lays another foreshadowing for the later story that there is no beautiful scenery outside the window, just a bare wall.
At the end of the novel, the patient near the window suddenly worsens and is struggling on the verge of death, while the patient in the far window has a twisted mind, dehumanized, and refuses to save him. The act of coldly and selfishly watching the patient near the window die miserably is truly outrageous. As he wished, he moved to the hospital bed near the window. As soon as the doctor left, he couldn't wait to hold up the patient and look towards the window, but what did he see? A bare wall! The novel builds momentum layer by layer, and the last sentence suddenly stops. What's more, the unexpected ending gives readers unlimited space for imagination. This ending contains more praise for patients near the window and endless ridicule for patients in the far window.
1. Teaching ideas
When I teach the micro-novel "Window", my idea is to first let students understand and summarize the characteristics of micro-novel. The purpose of this is to guide students to have stylistic awareness in reading, grasp the stylistic characteristics of micro-novels and their reading methods, and find a starting point for learning "Window".
Then let the students actively explore the text with stylistic awareness. In the process, because this text is a self-study text, let students help each other, ask questions by themselves, and solve problems among classmates. Pay attention to Guide students to analyze the characters' personalities from the development of characters and plots, so that students can understand that the author's praise and criticism are contained in comparisons from multiple angles.
The art of ending is the key to micro-novel, because micro-novel is the art of ending and the art of revealing the soul. Next, explore the ending. Let students understand the art of this unexpected but reasonable ending, which is an art of perfect unity of ingenious form and deepening of the theme. After the exploration, students are asked to continue writing the ending. The purpose is to show that students have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of various manifestations of human nature based on text interpretation, and to trigger students' deep thinking about life.
Finally, I contacted the situation of real society and asked students to think about the glory and gloom of human nature, so I asked students to continue thinking after class? How to suppress evil and promote good in life, in order to achieve Chinese teaching? Tools The organic unity of sex and humanity?.
2. Bright colors in the classroom
First of all, I let the students raise their own questions, and the classmates solved the problems for each other. If the questions I imagined are not raised, I plan to add more questions. The students' answers are very exciting. When combined together, it can be said to be a relatively in-depth analysis of the text and a deep reflection on the humanistic spirit in the novel.
The second is to improve the blackboard writing in the process of students constantly asking questions and solving problems. The blackboard writing can be said to be a highlight. It not only pays attention to the appearance characteristics of the window, but also pays attention to the content essence. This novel adopts An exploration of comparative techniques. The characters' character connotations are explored from different angles, and a window reveals the glory and darkness of human nature. The students discussed this, and the results after the investigation were compared in three aspects. One is the comparison of the environment. The person near the window has a beautiful heart. The beautiful scenery outside the window he described is a reflection of the beauty of his love for life, optimism and helping others. There is beauty in the heart, and the beauty is in front of him. There will be beautiful scenery; but because of the despicable and ugly soul of the person with the far window, all he sees in front of him is a bare wall. The comparison between the two shows the selflessness, kindness, caring and nobility of the person near the window. The second is the contrast between the minds of those who are close to the window and those who are far away. There is no need to go into details here. The third is the comparison between the characters themselves before and after, and the analysis of the Yuanchuang patient's mental development process from good to evil, allowing students to understand that we should learn to restrain our ever-expanding selfish desires in our future lives, and not let the lofty spirit wander away from the body. outside.
The third is to continue the story. The novel ends with "All he saw was a bare wall." Please use your imagination to continue the story in a few sentences based on the novel's theme and character.
This question fully mobilized the students' divergent thinking. The students raised their hands to speak. Some said that Yuanchuang Man had awakened and felt ashamed of his selfish behavior and had trouble sleeping and eating. Others said that Yuanchuang Man also died of deep self-blame soon.
3. Understanding and shortcomings
After the class competition, I took the initiative to communicate with the judges, teacher Luo, the leader of the teaching and research team, and all the teachers, and realized that I had many shortcomings.
First of all, as a young teacher who has just worked for less than two years, it is still a major problem. Inadequate experience, insufficient guidance, and talking too much. I really want to reflect the dominant position of students, but still I can't control myself from talking too much. For another example, I always distrust the questions raised by students and like to repeat students’ questions and students’ answers to each other. In fact, in future teaching, we should give them a full hand and ask them questions and solve problems themselves. They should be able to do it.
Second, about the understanding of style. I grasped that this text was the last text in the novel unit, and it should be a methodological guided inquiry using past knowledge, so I brought up the characteristics of short novels at the beginning of the class. After class, some teachers also pointed out that if this feature is placed at the end of the course, it will be more natural to derive the stylistic features, and students should master it better.
Thirdly, the courseware contains too much content. You can appropriately reduce the printed content on the courseware and make it as concise and to the point as possible.
After the training and summary of this class, I know that as a young teacher, it is my responsibility to teach every class well. I also know that I am still far away from being an excellent teacher. I will do my best to take every step on the road of teaching.
