"What is education? Teach people to change! It is a good education that teaches people to get better, and a bad education that teaches people to get worse. Living education teaches people to live, while dead education teaches people to die. It is not education that teaches people to change. " The author practices Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational theory in composition teaching, explores effective ways to make composition teaching life-oriented, improves composition teaching level, and guides students to study happily and fully in composition.
First, create life situations and guide self-drafting.
The new "Chinese Curriculum Standard" puts forward "encouraging students to draw up their own topics and write less propositional compositions". Students' participation in the formulation of topics can give full play to their imagination, let them speak freely, and cultivate and improve their observation and analysis ability. For example, pick up baked edamame and edamame skin, throw the skin into a dirty trash can, put edamame in a beautiful packaging box, and then compare the trash can with the packaging box. As soon as the topic "The quarrel between edamame and edamame skin" is presented, the students can pass the pen smoothly with a little thinking; Pick up the apple and show "Apple Beauty"; Cut the apple and show "Baby's reverie"; Picked up the small pear and wrote the "Small Pear Self-Report"; After a little comparison, I wrote Pear and Apple are more beautiful. ...
Second, participate in life experience and accumulate writing materials.
As early as the 20th century, Mr. Tao Xingzhi advocated: "Life is education, society is school, and teaching and learning are integrated." When discussing the concept of life education, he brilliantly expounded: "life education is life-centered education ... life and education are one thing, not two things." From the perspective of life education, they are two names of a phenomenon. " The article "Kung Fu is outside class", as Ye Shengtao said: "To what extent can life be enriched, what articles can be made", "Life is like a spring, articles are like a stream, which is abundant and inexhaustible, and the stream naturally flows without rest". Life is the source of composition and the basis of writing a good composition. By guiding students to fully participate in life experience and understand life, the problem of "source" can be solved.
1. Pay attention to the experience with the environment
The characteristic of situational experience is a word "with", which does not deliberately pursue the systematization of situational setting and training, but an "immediate" reflection of life. Such "situations" are often fleeting or even "impossible to find", and once lost, it is difficult to remedy. So once such a "situation" appears, the teacher will follow suit.
2. Go into life and collect raw materials
Life is an inexhaustible source. As long as students are led to life and let them observe and experience life with full enthusiasm in the vast world of life, they will learn a steady stream of life materials and praise life with their own pens.
Write and change your life with practice
Tao Xingzhi said: "Life education is to educate life, educate with life, and educate for the needs of life ... Education can only become real education through life." A writer reveals the true meaning of creation in this way: "We should find our own unique feelings about the whole world, whether it is nature, society or life, and then speak them in plain language without fear." No matter how many masterpieces there are, no matter how much they feel about the same life, they need to cultivate this sensitivity, honesty, courage and self-confidence. "It is particularly important for students to learn to write compositions, guide them to observe life and learn to accumulate, but it is more important to let them know about life, especially from their own thoughts and feelings, so as to form their own unique experience of life. According to the requirements of Chinese curriculum standards, students should write sincerely and try their best to express their unique feelings and real experiences about nature, society and life.
"From the principle of learning, it seems that you must learn how to do things. For example, swimming, swimming in water; If you want to learn swimming, you must learn it in the water. If you don't get into the water, you can read swimming books and do swimming on the shore. Even if you have studied for a lifetime, you will still sink under the water. " This is especially true in composition teaching. Only by firmly believing that "doing is the beginning of knowing, and knowing is the success of doing" can our composition teaching be truly "alive" and students' compositions be independent and "good".
Four essay reviews are also life itself.
1. Implement face-to-face approval.
Students' foundations and personalities vary widely, mainly in their compositions. Different life experiences, different ways and means to express the theme, and different values to express the center of the article. Therefore, for students' work, I take more methods, that is, one-on-one face-to-face criticism, on the basis of students' existing work, to maximize students' work level.
Step 2 appreciate the evaluation
Many teachers are busy picking up red pens to kill students after they finish their compositions. A composition representing students' personality has been changed beyond recognition after what the teacher called "correcting". It seems that only in this way can we reflect the fineness of the teacher's guiding composition. As everyone knows, this kind of "vacuum disinfection" isolated from students simply doesn't work. When students witness their hard-earned achievements being mercilessly denied, they can only shrink back in fear, thus losing their courage and interest in writing.
In view of this shortcoming, I designed the composition evaluation activity of "life platter", that is, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, students will display their life essays written the day before on the "colorful life bookshelf" in the classroom (there are beautiful and colorful life bookshelves on the left and right walls of our classroom, and each student has a fixed position to display his own handmade products, etc.). ), and then teachers and students will use recess and lunch break. In a pleasant atmosphere, students communicate not only the content of the composition, but also their own understanding, perception and thinking about life. Through such display and appreciation, composition evaluation is really life itself, so that every child involved in writing can feel the joy of success and have the power of self-confidence.
Practice has proved that creatively practicing Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational theory in composition teaching can create a situation for students to "walk into life" and encourage students to know, experience and think about life freely and independently. Writing is a matter of course, and it should be a happy thing for students. Every child can happily enjoy the sweet happiness brought by good writing.
