The formulation of teaching strategies;
About word teaching:
(1) "Literacy" is the main teaching method in lower grades, which makes students like learning Chinese characters and have the desire to read actively. Therefore, teachers should pay attention to guiding students to read in the language environment, from word to word, from word to sentence, thus reflecting that teachers guide students to read actively in the language environment.
(2) In vocabulary teaching, students' cognitive rules should be followed to avoid memorizing the explanations of vocabulary, and teachers should pay attention to guiding students to experience, imagine and understand the meanings of vocabulary in specific language environment. For example, to understand the meanings of words such as "beautiful and magical", "famous at home and abroad" and "special", teachers use media, information introduction and other methods to let students understand the meanings of words, plus appropriate reading guidance training to further understand and experience the meanings of words.
On the teaching of sentences;
On the basis of understanding the meaning of words, train students to understand the meaning of sentences in context and read aloud in time to deepen their understanding and experience, thus completing the training focus of this unit.

About text processing:
(1) 1 The natural section focuses on guidance, so that students can have a more comprehensive understanding of Huangshan Scenic Area, stimulate their interest in learning and guide the whole article.
(2) The second to fifth paragraphs are student-centered, which breaks the original text learning order and gives students the initiative to learn.
(3) The sixth paragraph is simple, and the courseware expands the content.
(4) Returning to the full text, using 1 natural paragraph to strengthen reading training and emotional goals.
About the use of media:

In the questioning class, the courseware shows the topic "Shanshi Huang". Students, what do you have in the picture? (Stones, pine trees ...) This picture is a famous scenic map of Huangshan Mountain in China. Huangshan Mountain is a famous scenic spot in China! It is famous for its strange pines, strange rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs! Strange stones are known as one of the "four wonders" of Huangshan Mountain. They are famous for their variety. There are more than 120 named strange stones. Its form can be described as strange and amazing. Like people and things, like birds and beasts, they have different shapes and vivid images.

Second, appreciate the situational reading of the text, and have a general understanding of the text when reading it for the first time.
"What do you want to know after reading the topic? What's the problem? " On the basis of students' full questions, the teacher summed up the representative questions. Then, let the students look at the courseware and read the text with questions. Let students prepare for the next teaching by appreciating and appreciating the beautiful scenery of Huangshan Mountain. Then let the students open their books, read the text in a low voice, and then read the new words in the text. Then show the courseware and check the students' mastery of new words.

Appreciate those grotesque rocks with names and name them with your imagination. Cultivate students' imagination.
When teaching Xiantao Stone, the courseware shows pictures of Xiantao Stone, and the teacher guides the students to observe the pictures. (Highlighting Xiantao Stone with spotlight) You can see that the boulder on the top of the mountain is like a big peach, which seems to fall from the sky and land on the stone plate on the top of the mountain. Let the students imagine the origin of Xiantao Stone by combining the myths and legends they have seen, such as The Journey to the West, and make up an interesting fairy tale to tell.
When teaching "Monkeys Watching the Sea", the courseware shows the picture of monkeys watching the sea. The teacher guided the students to see that there was a stone shaped like a monkey on a steep mountain peak. It sat motionless on the hill, arms around legs, looking at the rolling sea of clouds. Students have difficulty in understanding the "rolling sea of clouds". Let them talk about it in real life and look at the pictures of the rolling sea of clouds displayed in the courseware to solve their doubts.
When teaching "The Fairy Directs the Way", the courseware shows the picture of the fairy guiding the way, so that students can observe the boulder on the picture, just like a fairy standing on a high mountain peak, pointing forward with outstretched arms, as if guiding the tourists. Students can learn the movements of immortals to guide the way and deepen their understanding of the text. At the same time, reading training is interspersed in the teaching process to guide students to feel and appreciate the wonderful Shanshi Huang in reading.
The second paragraph guides students to read the speculation about the origin of Xiantao stone. When reading the third paragraph, we should highlight the monkey's interest in watching the sea, and the voice can be lower, as if afraid of disturbing the monkey to watch the sea. In the fourth paragraph, we should read the mystery of the legend of the immortal leading the way. The ways of reading should also be diversified, such as free reading, group reading, separate reading for men and women, performance reading and so on. Ask students to practice reciting their favorite parts on the basis of being familiar with reading.
When studying the fifth paragraph, students can find the sentence describing "the golden rooster calls the sky" and read it to understand the meaning of "the golden rooster" and "the cock crows constantly".

Learner characteristics analysis
The vivid language and characters in "The Strange Stone of Huangshan Mountain" vividly describe the strange stone of Huangshan Mountain in the motherland. However, according to the survey, many students have never been to Huangshan Mountain, and they have never seen strange stones of different shapes. Most students lack direct experience of Huangshan Mountain. Combined with junior two students, they can read a certain number of chapters independently, taste words and sentences according to the requirements of learning, and have preliminary reading comprehension ability. Therefore, the focus of this lesson is to cultivate students' creative thinking ability.
Selection and Design of Teaching Strategies
According to the above objectives and students' situation, the following strategies are selected and adopted in this lesson:
(1) autonomous learning strategy
The core of autonomous learning strategy is to give full play to students' initiative and enthusiasm in learning, and fully reflect students' cognitive role, with the focus on how to help students "learn".
(2) Innovative learning strategies
The classroom teaching of innovative learning breaks the limitations of teachers' textbooks and students' textbooks. From single, one-size-fits-all "closed" teaching to multi-level and diversified "open" teaching, classroom teaching content is combined with real life and contemporary science and technology, and modern teaching methods are introduced into the classroom.
1, the new curriculum standard clearly points out: "Reading is an important way for students to collect and process information, understand the world, develop their thinking and gain aesthetic experience."
Combined with the educational theory of the leap-forward development of basic education, as far as this course is concerned, the strangeness of "the stone of Huangshan Mountain" is the essence of the full text. In order to let students truly feel Shanshi Huang in various ways, we should make full use of modern multimedia technology in teaching, expand the Chinese learning content of this course through reading a lot of texts and understanding visual materials, and let students find problems, actively study and think, judge independently, and develop their initiative and creativity in exploring and solving problems.
2. For Chinese, it is necessary to finally implement "reading" and "writing". Learning in multimedia environment provides students with abundant jumping resources, which are rich in content, related to the theme of the text and teaching objectives, effective and scientific. This kind of learning content not only stimulates students' interest in independent reading, cultivates students' good reading habits and greatly increases their knowledge, but also accumulates creative sources for students' typing and writing, so that students can feel and appreciate Chinese in this class and finally generate their own Chinese learning results. This also fully embodies the "student-oriented" teaching guiding ideology in the leap-forward teaching experiment, and respects students' autonomy.
Teaching resources and tool design
Teaching pictures; Flash courseware.
teaching process
First, watch the video to reveal "strangeness"
Teacher: (Play a video clip introducing the scenery of Huangshan Mountain. ) The world-famous Huangshan Scenic Area is in the south of Anhui Province, China. The scenery here is beautiful and magical, especially those strange stones, which have attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Today we are going to learn the text: Shanshi Huang (pointing out the topic).
Second, reading the text for the first time, I feel "strange"
1. Who will read the topic? What do you think "strange" means? Look at the topic in combination with your own understanding of "strangeness".
2. What strange stones are introduced in the article? Which strange stone is written specifically? Please read the text freely and softly, mark these strange stones, mark them next to the names of the stones introduced in detail, and communicate in groups after reading them.
This paper introduces these strange stones on Huangshan Mountain, such as "monkeys look at the sea, immortals lead the way, Xiantao stone, golden roosters call the sky, dogs look at the moon, lions grab the ball and immortals play the piano".
The stones specifically introduced are "Monkey Watching the Sea, Fairy Guiding the Way, Xiantao Stone and Golden Rooster Calling Heaven".
Teacher: (Click the names of the stones in the courseware in turn and name a student to read these strange stones)
Third, reading and exploring "strangeness"
1. The text introduces many strange stones. First, let's take a look at the first strange stone, "Monkeys look at the sea" (pointing out the picture of "Monkeys look at the sea"). Which stone looks like a monkey? Students, look at the pictures. What do you think this monkey is doing?
2. How is this stone written in the text? Students find out the relevant sentences and read them aloud. The teacher points out that the courseware shows the sentences: On a steep mountain peak … this is the interesting "monkey watching the sea"! ) How are these sentences written in the text? Discuss in groups.
3. "Monkey Watching the Sea" is interesting, and "Fairy Guiding the Way" is also very interesting.
(Click on the courseware to play the picture of "Fairy Leading the Way" and related words: From a distance, it really looks like a fairy standing on a high mountain with her arms outstretched and pointing forward. )
Read these words freely. Who will learn how to make this stone?
Students, what would you think if you were playing in Huangshan Mountain and suddenly saw a stone like this on a high mountain in the distance?
5. Thank you, fairies. In Huangshan Mountain, there is a stone that looks like a monkey watching the sea on the steep peak, and a fairy is leading the way on the high peak. How interesting all this is! Let's read this passage beautifully together.
Fourth, look at the picture and write "odd"
1. Through observation, the author grasped Shanshi Huang's appearance and developed a reasonable imagination. By analogy, he gave life to the still stone and made it concrete. (Click on the courseware to play the pictures of "Xiantao Stone" and "Golden Rooster Calls Heaven") Next, I use this method to select one of the stones on the big screen, grasp its appearance and write a few words.

If you have a good memory, use the sentences in the book and your own words to tell their magic.
2. After watching and listening to your performance, we really understood the strangeness of the Huangshan stone.
Sixth, class summary.
Students, who would like to share their gains in this class with you?
Seven, homework.
Ask the students to consult the information about the strange stones in Huangshan Mountain after school, and design a guide map to visit Huangshan Mountain for themselves.
Teaching evaluation design
The general idea of this course should be: clear objectives, clear teaching links, and give full play to students' subjectivity and initiative. Let students improve and develop their knowledge, skills and emotions through learning.
In the "teaching" of this class, the teaching design of teachers cultivating students' creative thinking ability and students' independent inquiry learning ability should be reflected everywhere.
In addition, the characteristics of openness, autonomy, practicality and inquiry should be fully reflected in the teaching process. Through reading materials, students can find problems, actively study and think, make independent judgments, develop an attitude of actively and creatively exploring and solving problems, and comprehensively improve Chinese literacy in independent activities that students are interested in.
Teaching reflection
"Huangshan Stone" is the content of the fourth volume of People's Education Press. As students in the lower grades of primary school, they are full of strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, rich in imagination, active in thinking, easy to accept new knowledge, strong in expression, and like to show themselves. Under the guidance of the new curriculum concept, I have been able to study independently and cooperate with others. However, students have no personal experience of Shanshi Huang, and their language expression ability and meticulous observation ability are also in a weak stage, so it is difficult to understand the text. Based on the above situation, I put forward the following thoughts on the teaching of this course:
First, the use of flash courseware is appropriate and effective, which stimulates students' interest in learning.
According to the content of the text, I used flash courseware in scene introduction, strange stone exploration and text reading, and the effect was good. For example, after enjoying the four strange stones in the second and third paragraphs of the article, I played the flash courseware with multimedia, which reproduced many strange stones in Huangshan. Through this audio-visual courseware, we can effectively create a vivid classroom situation, which can not only arouse students' enthusiasm for learning, but also enable them to adjust their happy emotional background, prepare lessons and attend classes. More importantly, it can pave the way for the whole class and let students' thinking quickly guide the teaching content. In addition, it also stimulated students' strong interest in learning and their curiosity to see the wonders of Huangshan Mountain. Under the guidance of the teacher, they can quickly find out the wonders of Huangshan Mountain written in the text, such as "Xiantao Stone", "Monkey Watching the Sea", "Fairy Leading the Way" and "Golden Rooster Calling Heaven". They are interested in the wonders of Huangshan Mountain and have a strong desire to explore, so that students have the enthusiasm to study the contents of the text in depth, the classroom atmosphere is active and students are highly motivated to learn.
Second, effectively grasp the basic knowledge points through courseware guidance and students' interactive exploration.
Because there are many new words "I will recognize" in this class. It is difficult for students to master. Therefore, in teaching, I combine courseware-assisted teaching, bring these words into text learning on the basis of students' rote memorization, combine literacy with text scenes, and cultivate students' Chinese understanding ability. For the new words that require "I can write", I show the writing order through the courseware, and demonstrate the writing and classmates' performance on the blackboard to help students obtain correct and standardized writing methods and cultivate students' good writing habits. In the process of reading, I fully respect students' emotional experience, so that students can learn the text, understand the meaning and understand the sentences according to their favorite methods. And through multimedia, such as demonstration reading of courseware, mobilize all kinds of learning senses to invest in learning. In reading, students can deeply understand the magic of Huangshan stone, which not only breaks through the teaching focus, but also enables students to actively acquire knowledge and improve the efficiency of classroom teaching.
Thirdly, the classroom atmosphere should be properly adjusted to maximize the classroom benefits.
In the teaching of this class, I have achieved all the teaching objectives through picture display, audio reading demonstration and word writing practice. In the last link, in order to spread students' thinking, I expanded and extended the content of the text, so that students can choose their favorite methods to read and memorize the text according to their own gains and understanding. Or draw a picture to deepen understanding; Or writing, practicing calligraphy, etc. Mobilize students' enthusiasm in many ways and let them develop in reading and writing practice. However, when most students were intoxicated with their own learning process, one of them was reading "Several Stones on the Peak" and became a shining rooster. He stretched out his neck and kept crying at Tiandufeng ... "At the end of this sentence, he deliberately whispered" Oh, oh, oh "and made faces at other students. Most of the students were amused by him and could not study with peace of mind, but he was still secretly pleased there. Faced with this situation, I stopped it in time, and asked him and his classmates to compare the cock's crow with the cock's crow in the text, which deepened the students' understanding of the text and solved a class accident well. In this matter, I think it is necessary and necessary to properly adjust the classroom atmosphere. However, we should seize the opportunity, control the teaching rhythm, turn teaching accidents into classroom-generated resources, and maximize the benefits of classroom teaching in an atmosphere of appreciation, encouragement and exploration.
