Keywords: extracurricular reading interest, writing ability
First, guided by ancient and modern Chinese classics, let students enter the elegant world of extracurricular reading.
It stands to reason that many famous articles in middle school textbooks at all times and in all countries can be used as a guide for students to step into the elegant world of extracurricular reading. However, in the teaching process, the first consideration is often how to deal with the exam and how to estimate the test questions. The full text is divided into several paragraphs, what is the center and which paragraph is the key memory. Treating literary works completely from the utilitarian point of view makes a good article fragmented and makes the classroom lifeless. This has greatly ruined students' appetite for appreciation, so students are tired of the original vibrant Chinese class. No wonder the students read the extracted text and are not interested in studying the full text of the original. The author thinks that the exam is important, but we should not let it completely control us. We must reverse this situation, take the famous Chinese textbooks as the guide, and let students step into the elegant world of extracurricular reading. In the teaching process, we should try our best to highlight the specific images depicted in these works, stimulate students' emotions and arouse students' interest. When I was in Chekhov's Chameleon, I asked the students to summarize the text in one word. Through argument, most students said "change". I asked the student how Ralph "changed" in the process of deciding the case. In this way, students will naturally notice the plot of the work and the dialogue between the characters. Through the analysis and comparison between teachers and students, the students are in awe of the author's skillful and ingenious artistic techniques. The students lamented that I didn't expect such a good novel to be written by the "Dog Beating Incident". So, while the iron is hot, I introduced the writing of Chekhov's novel "Seeing the Big from the Small" to the students. In this way, I briefly introduced the basic plot of the novel Death of an Official (in Russian times, a small official sneezed while watching a play in the theater, thinking that he had offended the general who was watching the play, repeatedly explained and apologized, and finally died of depression). The novel described the darkness of officialdom in Russian times with artistic exaggeration. Tell the students that this work was written by Chekhov. Please use Chekhov's short stories to appreciate the master's artistic style. This has aroused students' strong thirst for knowledge. For another example, I put Lu Xun's Kong Yiji and Wu's Fan Jinzhong Residence together. Through the analysis and comparison of the characters, students understand that the essence of the protagonists in the two texts is the same. So students are also very interested. In addition, it is also very important to solve problems in class, and a good solution can resonate with students. If it is an excerpt from the original, it is also essential to tell some plots related to the original. It is necessary to talk about the history of Jia Yucun, winning streak and four big families. This not only helps to understand this lesson, but also makes students curious when you talk about it and induces them to read this book.
Second, let students improve their aesthetic taste through repeated reading.
Mr. Ye Shengtao once said: "Good works should be read at least twice. When reading for the first time, you might as well focus on getting the outline and understanding the main idea, and then you have to pay attention to appreciation when reading again. Take it easy to work with a' play' mood, don't try to swallow it, chew it carefully. Poetry should be recited repeatedly, words should be recited in a low voice, and novels should be read silently every week. "
The average middle school student is optimistic about the article, always reading it once instead of the second time, and reading it quickly. How can this pay off? Based on this, the author requires students to read a good work repeatedly to improve their appreciation ability, and put "self" into the object of appreciation for comparison. You might as well look at the work and ask yourself, if I were to write this scene, what would I write? If I were to write this role, what would I write? Try to learn something from reading, so that the reading effect will be better. If you train for a long time, your aesthetic taste will definitely improve.
Third, consciously introduce some general principles of literature to improve their appreciation ability.
In literary appreciation activities, the appreciated literary works are concrete and perceptual, and they are first presented to us as perceptual objects. Without a little knowledge of the general principles of literature, our perception is often superficial and our understanding is superficial. But our students lack this knowledge. Some teachers also tend to ignore these, or think it is "unnecessary". The author believes that we can break this forbidden zone. For example, "the characteristics and laws of literature appreciation" and "how to cultivate the sensibility of the appreciator", we can spare some time after class and give lectures to students in an easy-to-understand way, so as to feed students' blindness in appreciation and let them have rules to follow. It won't take long, but the benefits are there. Why should we be happy?
Fourth, carry out various activities to create a good reading atmosphere.
Higher aesthetic taste is cultivated through repeated appreciation practice. The more works you ponder, the more complex the types and divergent the styles, the richer your comparative data, the more correct your perspective and the more reliable your discrimination. In recent years, the author has mainly carried out the following activities to cultivate students' aesthetic taste.
1, arrange a "reading class" every week. "Reading class" takes students to the reading room to read newspapers and magazines. When students encounter difficulties in reading, teachers will give timely guidance. This has at least the following advantages: first, it expands the scope of knowledge; Second, teachers can keep abreast of students' reading trends; Third, know the habit of students reading books and newspapers; Fourth, prompt and solve the confusion.
2. Hold a "Reading Report" once a month. The main content is to report what good books and periodicals you read after class this month, and what are their general contents? What are the benefits? This is actually a process in which students recommend good books to each other. Students are generally concerned about this matter. They went to the reading room early to borrow the books they needed to read. Most students take notes while reading, avoiding the bad habit of browsing casually and not demanding.
Fifth, make use of social reading "hot spots" to guide students to read elegant books.
Guide students to use social reading "hot spots" in an organized and planned way. For example, when The Journey to the West's TV series A Dream of Red Mansions was broadcast on TV, we guided students to read the original works, and the wall newspaper also published this content.
In recent years, through various efforts, students' interest in extracurricular reading has been obviously improved, and those books with low ideological style and poor written expression have disappeared in our class; Instead, it is more elegant books, and the atmosphere of reading good books is constantly expanding. With the improvement of aesthetic taste, students' writing ability and reading ability are also improving.
In short, the cultivation of middle school students' aesthetic interest in extracurricular reading needs a process of in-depth practice and research, which is a very attractive and touching topic. I hope that our vast number of Chinese teachers will "explore up and down" in this respect.
