Cricket House Original and Practice Crickets living on the grass are almost as famous as cicadas. It is famous not only for singing, but also for living.
Most other insects hide in temporary shelters. It takes no effort to get their hidden benefits, and it is not a pity to lose them. Unlike them, crickets refuse to be happy. It often chooses its address carefully, and it must be well drained and sunny. It does not use ready-made caves. Its comfortable house was excavated bit by bit, from the hall to the bedroom.
How can crickets have a gift for building houses? Does it have any special tools? No. Cricket is not an expert in digging. Its tools are so weak that people are surprised at the fruits of its labor.
When I was a child, I went to the grass to catch crickets, locked them in cages and fed them with vegetable leaves. Now, in order to study crickets, I search their nests again.
On the bank facing the sun, there is an inclined tunnel hidden in the green grass. Even if there is a shower, it will dry up immediately. The tunnel twists and turns along the terrain, reaching nine inches deep and one finger wide. This is the cricket's residence. There is always a clump of grass at the exit, which is half covered, just like a door. Crickets come out to eat the young grass around them and never touch this clump of grass. The slightly inclined door was carefully raked and swept, and it was very flat. This is a cricket platform. When the surroundings are quiet, crickets will play the piano on this platform.
The interior of the house is not decorated, but the walls are smooth. Master has plenty of time to repair rough places. Generally speaking, the residence is simple, clean, dry and sanitary. If we think that the tools used by cricket to dig things are so simple, this house can really be regarded as a great project.
Crickets mostly build houses in cold October and early autumn. It rakes the soil with its front foot and removes the larger clods with pliers. It steps on the ground with its powerful hind feet. There are two rows of saws on the hind legs, which are used to push the soil to the back and lay it diagonally.
The work was soon finished. Cricket works under the soil. If it feels tired, it will have a rest in front of the unfinished house, with its head facing outward and its tentacles swinging slightly. After a while, it began to work again. I watched it for two hours in a row, and I was a little impatient.
The important part of the house is almost finished. The hole has been dug two inches deep, which is big enough. The rest is a long renovation, one today and one tomorrow. This hole can deepen and widen with the cold weather and the growth of its body. Even in winter, as long as the weather is mild and the sun shines on its door, you can still see crickets constantly throwing dirt from it.
Reflections on "Residential Teaching" of Cricket
After teaching the home of cricket, I was deeply touched. The House of Crickets is an observation note written by Fabres, a famous French entomologist in the 9th century. With his love for crickets, the author introduced the characteristics and construction process of cricket house in detail by anthropomorphic method. The author appreciates cricket's hard work and unwillingness to live in the present situation. When learning this text, let students understand the thoughts and feelings expressed by the author while mastering the main content of the text, try to figure out the expression methods of the article, and pay attention to applying these methods to writing practice. Let students learn how the author observes things carefully, stimulate students' interest in observing things around them, and understand how the author expresses it in interesting language.
1, the topic is novel, and the topic is quoted to arouse suspense and stimulate reading interest. Use the connection and difference between animals and human "houses" to stimulate children's interest in learning. Talk about the names of animal dwellings, so that students can accumulate in the expansion and feel the author's feelings in the comparison.
2. Starting from "residence", it is also a highlight of this paper to understand the characteristics of cricket residence and learn anthropomorphic sentences in time. This article is not only a scientific exposition, but also an excellent literary work. At first glance, the language in the article is plain, but in fact, the article covers the author's deep feelings. I have asked students to find anthropomorphic sentences many times, guided them to read aloud and trained their sense of language. Make students learn to observe under the influence of emotion, and be subtly educated by the author's love for insects and nature.
3. Learn the language through keywords. Many words and sentences in the text are written in unique ways. For example, "crickets, unlike them, refuse to be happy." I ask students to read this sentence repeatedly and deepen their understanding by comparing the context. Combined with the rich connotation expressed by the "temporary" experience, the "hiding place" in the experience part is "easy to get, but a pity to abandon" Another example is: "When it is quiet around, crickets play the piano on this platform." When I introduced this sentence, I was suspicious of the students: Do you think it is a bit exaggerated that the author called the house dug up by crickets "house" and "great project"? So as to guide students to study hard, and it is a miracle to feel the intelligence of the cricket house from its external and internal characteristics, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is a great project.
Finally, I extended my class to extracurricular activities, let my children become the developers of cricket houses, and then gave some good suggestions for cricket houses. And collect some popular science essays and read them after class. I think in this way, students can start with the lesson "Cricket's Home" and get in touch with more popular science articles. In this way, they can not only increase their extracurricular knowledge, but also exercise their reading ability. So as to realize the connection between Chinese and life and the integration of Chinese and practice.

The background description of the teaching case of "Cricket House";
The seventh lesson of the first volume of the Chinese experimental textbook for the fourth grade of compulsory education is an observation written by Fabres, a famous French entomologist in the19th century: the author shows the children a colorful insect world with poetic style. Learning this lesson, guiding students to taste key sentences and understanding the connotation of the article are the key points. Among them, "crickets are different from them and refuse to be happy." This sentence, I designed to guide students to deepen their understanding through repeated reading and using contextual comparison method when preparing lessons. First of all, understand the meaning of "happy-go-lucky" literally, and then compare it with the context and think about how other insects "happy-go-lucky". Finally, excavate rich ideological connotation and educate students to be brave people.
Teaching case:
Teacher: Who can tell me the meaning of the word "let nature take its course"?
Health: Just find a place to settle down.
Health: can adapt to the surrounding environment.
Teacher: Good. You looked it up in the dictionary. Some students still have their own opinions. Who likes happiness? Who doesn't like happiness? Please list the key words.
Health: Read and comment.
Teacher: Who wants to talk to you?
Health: I think other insects like to be happy. It can be seen from these sentences that "most other insects hide in temporary shelters, and its ..."
Health: I know crickets don't like happiness. The article wrote: "crickets are not like them, and they don't like to be happy."
Teacher: According to the students' answer on the blackboard, "Crickets are different from them and refuse to be happy with them", please read this sentence together. What do you think of after reading this sentence?
Health: Cricket's dissatisfaction with the present situation shows that he has extremely high demands on life.
Health: It shows that he is not casual about life.
Health: It also shows that he is a person who will enjoy life.
Teacher: How about "demanding life"? How can we live a life with high requirements?
Health: Create by your own hands.
Health: Use your own efforts to get it.
Teacher: Yes, so cricket is also a hard-working person and a diligent person. It is because of his dissatisfaction that he can keep creating and struggling. What do you want to say to the cricket?
Health: Cricket, you are really a hardworking person!
Teacher: You praise quietly. Who can praise loudly?
Health: Cricket is a diligent person! His actions are worth learning from each of us.
Teacher: The teacher wants the students to work hard to create a better life like crickets.
Teaching reflection:
The curriculum standard puts forward the basic idea of "improving students' Chinese literacy in an all-round way", and puts forward Chinese teaching objectives from three dimensions: knowledge and ability, process and method, emotional attitude and values. Therefore, when designing the case of this lesson, we should grasp a "happy-go-lucky" and throw questions in time according to the pre-designed teaching process. What did you think when I put forward "Cricket is happy with it"? "A stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the sparks of students' thinking immediately come out of generate in Generate, and then ask: How can we live a high-demand life? Guide students to carry out enlightenment education in emotion, attitude and values, and be an enterprising person.
