Students, at 90 south latitude in Antarctica? The scientific experimental station named Amundsen Scott Station was set up in memory of two explorers who first arrived at the South Pole: Norwegian Amundsen and Englishman Scott. At that time, they each led an expedition and competed fiercely to become the first person in the world to reach the South Pole. As a result, Amundsen's Biscottes team reached the pole nearly five weeks ahead of schedule and returned to Norway smoothly, but Scott and others were buried in the vast snow and ice. The author Zweig did not write a biography of the winner Amundsen, but turned his attention to Scott, and his admiration for the hero was beyond words. Historically, winners have been praised.

2. From the high mountain peaks to the deep seabed, from the vast ocean to the vast universe, where there are mysteries, there are human footprints. There are joys of success and tragedies of failure in the exploration. Winners have everything, but these great losers should also have their place. What are the great tragedies you know?
Heroes who failed: ① Yue Fei was loyal to the country. Although he lost in the war, his patriotism inspired future generations. ②? A strong person is gone forever? Jing Ke, who failed to assassinate the King of Qin, enthusiastically crossed the Strait in a hydrogen balloon and died in the sea. Luo, a canoe, drifted into the Yangtze River and capsized and died. 1986, Yao Maoshu, the first China explorer drifting and exploring the Yangtze River in the world, capsized and died in the upper reaches of Jinsha River. However, the history of the Wanli Yangtze River has ended since ancient times. ⑤ Americans? Colombia? Crash, but still inspire people to explore space. For example, Yang Liwei went into space and the United States marched into Mars. ⑥ 1996, Yu Chunshun, a Shanghai explorer who walked in China on foot, left the Gobi Desert with the temperature as high as 70 degrees forever. However, his 4 million-word diary and 1 10,000 photos left precious information for future generations.
Great tragedy: ① Galileo was attacked by the church and science was wronged for 300 years; (2) Vesaliua's "human body structure" led to a catastrophe, atoning for the tragic death of the island country; ③? Challenger? When Space Shuttle Six was destroyed, all seven astronauts were killed. February 4, 2003, 1, USA? Colombia? The space shuttle disintegrated and crashed, killing all seven astronauts.

Similarly, the road ahead is not smooth, and the whole history of human progress is a history of fighting against all difficulties and obstacles. We should also shoulder the mission of the times, uphold the excellent quality and great spirit of heroes, explore the unknown areas of mankind, open the mysterious door of the universe and realize our own life value.

3. What is the meaning of life? Where is the value of life? (The works should give people great spiritual shock. It should be a seed, deeply buried in students' hearts, which can sprout, blossom and bear fruit at an appropriate time in the future and become us? The spiritual foundation? The indispensable connotation in the book. Zweig touched us not only by his delicate and passionate novels and elegant narrative art, but also by his noble mind. In this sense, his biography and autobiography may have higher value. Some people say that history is written for successful people. Indeed, all along, accompanied by flowers and applause, we have left the memory space for successful people. However, Zweig was able to pay attention to a loser, and included his deeds together with other biographies of Napoleon, Lenin, Tolstoy, Goethe and others in a collection called When the Stars of Mankind Shine, which can not but cause us to think about the definition of victory and failure. Scott's Antarctic expedition is magnificent and destructive, but it is shocking and enlightening because of its unparalleled noble heart. In this way, we can understand it more deeply? Great? The significance, although this story is a tragedy. )

First of all, Scott and them clearly demonstrated the spirit of human beings' unremitting exploration of the unknown. The action of Antarctic expedition shows their heroic spirit of perseverance, perseverance and dedication to the cause. How tragic it was for them to fight death on their way home. Strong collectivism spirit, being able to unite and cooperate in a harsh environment, fighting to the death, and even willing to give his life for the group and his companions. Oates went to the vast snow to meet death alone just to reduce the burden on the players, which is an amazing example. They also showed strong love. Their love for the motherland, compatriots and relatives is one of the powerful driving forces to support their heroic behavior. Scott's last suicide note was a true expression of love.

The South Pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude, with an area of 6.5438+0.4 million square kilometers. Most areas are covered with ice and snow all year round, which is called Antarctic ice sheet or white desert. Even in summer, only 5% of exposed bedrock is covered by ice-free source, which is called ice-free zone or oasis of white desert. The white desert oasis is the main habitat of Antarctic terrestrial and freshwater creatures. It is these creatures that bring vitality to the desolate and indifferent continent of Antarctica.
Seven, teaching evaluation and reflection
The lesson Great Tragedy tells us emphatically that the tragedy of British Antarctic explorer Scott and his team on their way home is great. In order to reveal the profound connotation of this particular event, the author vividly described it from many angles and levels on the basis of grasping the facts, highlighting the extraordinary significance of the tragedy and shocking the hearts of readers, making them respect their adventurous spirit, scientific attitude and willingness to sacrifice themselves for others. These strong humanistic qualities are exactly what our students lack, and we must guide them to discuss, understand and absorb them well. Only when the teaching has achieved this step can we say that we have learned this article well. Therefore, this class is designed around this problem, leading children to a broad thinking space and realizing the value of events and spirits. The focus of teaching is to grasp the content of the text as a whole, understand the author's ideal feelings, know that human beings challenge themselves and realize the greatness of life value.
Although this paper is long, it is very readable and is a good material for training students' fast reading ability. At the same time, retelling the text on the basis of reading the full text quickly and clarifying the story can train students' generalization ability and then master the content of the text. In addition, there are many touching details in the text, through which Zweig's deep affection in writing is expressed. Therefore, I ask students to read more and inspire them to grasp key sentences, feel the author's thoughts and feelings, and appreciate the role of detail description in expressing the characters' thoughts and feelings.
With the help of various information media, we can provide rich information sources, extend textbook knowledge to extracurricular activities and broaden teaching space. In "The Great Tragedy", I showed the scenery of Antarctica with multimedia, and let the students know about it. Let students enjoy Amundsen and Scott's pictures of Antarctic exploration and mountaineering videos, deeply understand the story of this article, create a situation where teachers and students study together, increase the classroom teaching density, and use rich network resources to guide students to actively acquire knowledge, thus improving their autonomous learning and inquiry ability.
