The writing of current political papers can promote students' in-depth investigation and research, and is conducive to cultivating students' ability to integrate theory with practice; Writing gives students space to think and imagine, which is conducive to cultivating students' innovative spirit and ability; It is also conducive to the unified implementation of the three-dimensional objectives of ideological and political courses and promotes the all-round development of students.

The writing form of short essays is relatively novel and deeply loved by students. But to improve students' writing ability and the quality of papers, teachers must give the following guidance:

First, actively mobilize, build confidence, give guidance on writing methods and skills, and let students figure out how to formulate topics, collect materials, and plan the layout of articles.

Second, seriously study the basic theory and actively participate in social practice. To write a short paper well, on the one hand, we should study the basic theory seriously and master the basic viewpoints; On the other hand, we should guide students out of the classroom and actively participate in social practice. For example, after I finished the second unit of Economic Life, I asked students to write a short paper entitled Price Fluctuation and Enterprise Management. First of all, I ask students to specifically understand the reasons, performance, impact on production and life of enterprise management and related textbook knowledge. Then, lead the students to visit nearby factories and enterprises and collect examples of business decisions. Provide rich perceptual materials for small thesis writing.

Third, keep up with the situation, think independently, and write a novel composition. The so-called novelty means that the opinions of small papers should be full of the flavor of the times and practical significance, and they should have their own independent opinions. Good at in-depth analysis of ordinary things, looking for their extraordinary. For example, in the second unit of "Political Life", to write a short paper about the construction of an authoritative government, in addition to learning the basic knowledge about the nature, functions and working principles of the government in the textbook, it is more important to understand the current political materials, make in-depth analysis and think carefully, so as to find a breakthrough point full of the flavor of the times and practical significance.

Fourth: see the big from the small, the materials are concise and the language is concise. Short and pithy is the remarkable feature of small papers, and the topic of the paper should be small, which is conducive to thorough analysis of the problem. The language of the essay should be concise and accurate, and the expression should be concise and to the point.
