Smart passers-by thought of an idea: they took out their own small pots, filled them with water and cooked them on the fire. While cooking, he said, "The moonlight is suitable tonight, and the cooked stone soup must be delicious." In fact, every move of passers-by has long been clearly seen by villagers hiding behind their houses. They have never had stone soup, and they are all puzzled. A child came out to ask passers-by about stone soup and suggested that mother could take out the cauldron at home and cook it. In this way, the small pot became a big pot, with a little girl's family beside the three walkers who made the fire. Then, more and more curious villagers gathered. A passerby said, "This soup will taste better with some salt and pepper." Someone immediately responded to his home and took over. Another passerby said, "Last time, we made stone soup with carrots and onions. It's delicious! " Hearing this, another villager hurried back and put his own onions and carrots in the soup. Then, the third passerby said, "It would be perfect if we put some mushrooms." In this way, everyone watched and listened to the introduction of passers-by, and at the same time brought their own materials and put them in the cauldron. As more and more things were put in, the pot of stone soup really became fragrant. Finally, the villagers sat around and tasted the stone soup they had never tasted before. Everyone was talking and laughing and very happy.
The name of this story is Stone Soup, which tells us that sharing can make people richer, and happiness is sometimes as simple as cooking stone soup.
As an educator, from this story, I also read some educational enlightenment-isn't the intelligence shown by these three passers-by our long-awaited educational wisdom? Sprenger, a famous German educator, once said: "The ultimate goal of education is not to teach what we have, but to induce people's creativity and awaken people's life consciousness and value." This is a well-known saying: education is awakening. In the above story, the genius of the three passers-by lies in the clever awakening of the villagers' hearts and the dissolution of their hearts. For us, we are faced with a heavy life and a shrewd heart. The first is to awaken the spirituality of children's lives and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.
It is worth noting that awakening is an inspiration that conforms to nature, as we often say-education is "a tree shakes another tree, a cloud pushes another cloud, and one soul awakens another soul". The process of awakening is natural, traceless, not far-fetched, and not deliberately for awakening. Especially for children, each of them is a rich treasure in their hearts, and they are eager to be concerned and guided. However, due to life experience, past knowledge accumulation, personal personality and many other reasons, many of them are not good at expressing their correct demands, even if they have full enthusiasm in their hearts. In other words, they simply don't realize their enthusiasm for being buried. At this time, as a teacher, we should think about what students think, think about what students think from the level of students, and find ways to mobilize their enthusiasm and initiative according to the laws of students' physical and mental development, so as to mobilize their inner consciousness and perseverance.
In fact, from the perspective of materialist dialectics, the movement and change of things are still dominated by internal factors, and any external force still needs to play a role through the role of internal factors. The awakening we emphasize is also the awakening of students' internal forces in life, which will drive the whole life to by going up one flight of stairs. In other words, the fundamental function of awakening is to change "I want to learn" into "I want to learn". This is also the root of the change of students' learning style and attitude.
Although Stone Soup is only a simple story, its educational wisdom is worth touching with our heart.
