For a long time, composition teaching in primary schools has been confined to the narrow world of "teachers teaching composition". The topic is designated by the teacher, and the content cannot exceed the scope defined by the teacher (for example, writing film reviews must be a movie watched on the spot). "How to write" must follow several models drawn up by the teacher. As a result, most of the students' compositions are similar in content and writing style, children speak like adults, lack the breath of children's life and have little sense of innovation. On many occasions, the achievement of composition teaching is only determined by "how many student exercises have been published in what level of publications". This creates an illusion that students whose works have won prizes or been published may not have a high level of composition. Some works have been repaired beyond recognition by the "mentor"; Or simply put, as long as you are willing to extend the "hand of friendship", you can get prizes for everything. There are many phenomena of "editing, copying and copying" and "being false, big and empty" in the composition, but students don't understand it in their hearts, thinking that they have learned the composition well and reached the level of publication. This situation of composition teaching is worrying.

Composition teaching is a very important lesson for primary school students. How to teach composition in order to make students willing to write and write truly excellent works? I think we can try the following methods.

First, guide observation and get a lot of writing materials.

There is an experience that the composition will be excellent as long as it is something or place that children have carefully observed. For example, she took her children to Beijing on National Day and wrote a series of seven or eight excellent travel notes after returning home: Visiting the Temple of Heaven Park, Visiting the Summer Palace and Badaling of the Great Wall of Wan Li ... which made people very happy. Children not only have content to write and can write, but also enhance their aesthetic ability.

There is a famous saying that "mountains and rivers are picturesque". Indeed, nature is beautiful, and the motherland is picturesque everywhere. As long as students are allowed to participate in outdoor activities, they will be encouraged to become caring people who observe life or nature, which will cultivate their open mind and noble sentiments, stimulate students' desire to write and express their feelings, and naturally achieve a higher artistic conception of writing.

Second, let children write freely.

The so-called free composition means that you can write your own knowledge and imagination freely and informally. What do students write? Write your own questions and express them freely. Because composition is the need of communication and expression of inner feelings, you should write what you want to communicate with others and express your feelings. With specific content, there will be corresponding topics. Self-planning is actually to let students choose their own materials and make their own ideas; The essence of free expression is to let students decide their own writing methods, choose words and make sentences freely and speak freely.

Therefore, our teachers must completely change their teaching concepts, emancipate their minds, determine the content of composition training from children's life and ideological reality, inspire students to choose materials from various angles, guide students to arrange articles in various ways, and let students write happily and freely.

Third, write some popular science compositions.

It is necessary to add some popular science compositions to the composition training in primary schools. It is of great strategic significance to cultivate students' spirit and thoughts of learning, loving and applying science from an early age through popular science composition. Therefore, composition teaching must break through singleness and dullness, introduce popular science content, and add fresh blood to primary school students' composition. Learning to write popular science composition can not only increase students' scientific knowledge, stimulate their interest in writing, but also enhance their hands-on ability and brain ability. For example, in the school quality education exhibition week, children saw the exhibition board about dinosaurs in class and wanted to write an essay about dinosaurs. When I got home, I was very busy: reading materials, looking for data, and being very focused. In her composition, she wrote how many centuries ancient dinosaurs lived on the earth, the names of the largest and smallest dinosaurs, their length, weight and living habits, where and where fossils were found, and the flight secrets of flying pterosaurs. She also imagined why dinosaurs were extinct, and there might be a dinosaur in a deep mountain pool somewhere on earth ... After writing, she drew a children's painting of "dinosaur world" in one go. As an educator, I was pleasantly surprised to see how attractive popular science composition is to primary school students from the children's "writing dinosaurs". Teachers should often ask many questions about popular science, so that everyone can solve them together or individually, read materials, do experiments, and write about feelings and gains. Students' thinking tentacles will become more and more sensitive, their thinking space will become wider and wider, and their writing will be handy.

Fourth, write some imaginary compositions.

Teenagers and children are full of fantasies. They imagine how big the universe is and what the planet is like. They fantasize that they can go to heaven, explore the unknown world underground ... and write their fantasies. This is also the need for children to express their inner feelings, and it is also an important way to train their writing ability and cultivate their innovative consciousness.

For another example, one day, the teacher suddenly threw a composition topic to the students-"If you win 5 million", without saying anything, write whatever you want. This time, the students are all happy, smiling and imagining something, and the things written are even more colorful. Yang Dong dared to think: she wanted to visit the South Pole, find a globe, explore the route from China to the South Pole, and discuss with her parents what to prepare for going to the South Pole. Dad said there must be an icebreaker, so she imagined the equipment and devices on board. She wrote: After arriving at the South Pole, we should first visit the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in China, and then focus on the hot water tide Fanda Lake in the South Pole. Why is this lake the only one in the ice and snow that is hot? It is also necessary to explore the secret of penguins' cleverness in ice water and slowness on land, and whether it is successful to hold a little penguin on the boat to feed. No one would believe that such an imaginative, strange and reasonable composition was written by a fifth-grade pupil. It can be said that the power of imaginative composition is infinite. Practice has proved that fantasy is often the driving force of invention and creation. There are many examples of dreams coming true at home and abroad: the Wright brothers in the United States fantasized that they could fly in the sky with two wings, which gave birth to the first human plane; Due to the whimsy of Wu Cheng'en, a great writer, he wrote his masterpiece The Journey to the West, which left a valuable cultural heritage for Chinese descendants. Therefore, imaginative composition is the source of intelligence and the potential strength of inventors.

Teachers should encourage students to write more imaginary things, inspire them to spread their ideal wings, give full play to their intelligence, and write creative compositions.

In a word, composition teaching is an art subject, aiming at cultivating students' innovative consciousness and writing ability. As long as students have the enthusiasm and enthusiasm for writing, the prospect of composition teaching will be very bright.
