First, tap the cultural connotation contained in local resources.
We can't simply design an activity for the purpose of developing comprehensive practical activities, but should focus on revealing or suggesting the cultural characteristics contained in comprehensive practical activities, enriching the connotation of activities, and excavating the cultural spirit essence contained in the activities themselves, so as to achieve the effect of moistening things quietly.
1. Conduct cultural exploration. Huangmei has a long history of picking flowers, which began in Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a history of 1000 years, and it is a long-term and widely circulated folk craft in Huangmei County. According to the records of Huangmei County Records, as early as the Song Dynasty, Huangmei had very exquisite flower picking skills. In the activity, students can be guided to design the activity of "Exploring the Origin of Flower Picking in Huangmei", and they can be led to understand the origin and history of flower picking in Huangmei by searching materials and interviewing old artists, and feel the ingenuity of the working people in Huangmei.
2. Have cultural taste. Huangmei is known as "a silent lyric poem and a three-dimensional Chinese painting". It is concise and rich in content, including auspicious marriage, entertainment, drama, stories and so on. Huang Mei's flower-picking works are varied, ranging from quilt covers and door curtains to sachets and garters. They are all part of the daily necessities worn by women and children in the bedroom, and some are used for women's articles that men need, such as wallets, belts, tobacco bags or tokens of love. Most of these works express people's feelings and entrust people's ideals through patterns and words. During the activity, students can be led to visit the flower picking company, appreciate the flower picking works, feel the profound cultural background of the flower picking process, and realize that this folk art should be passed down and spread.
Second, explore the effective mode of school-based comprehensive practical activities
Starting with local curriculum resources, we should reveal the cultural connotation, so that students can gain knowledge, understanding, experience and perception of culture; Carry out comprehensive practical activities in the form of comprehensive themes.
1. Research-based learning activities focusing on "theme inquiry". Under the guidance of teachers, students choose and determine research topics, and actively acquire knowledge, apply knowledge and solve problems. The basic activities are interviews, surveys, data collection and research. Theme inquiry activities generally have three stages: the stage of finding problems, the stage of solving problems and the stage of summarizing and communicating. For example, to carry out the theme inquiry activity design of "My hometown Huangmei picking flowers", the teacher creates a certain situation, throws out the theme, inspires students to "what do you want to study Huangmei picking flowers for", asks students to ask various questions from this theme, and then helps guide students to explore and practice a big theme activity from different angles. For example, some groups want to study the origin of Huangmei embroidery, some groups want to study the difference between Huangmei embroidery and cross stitch, and some groups want to study the application of embroidery technology in daily life. This method of studying from different aspects is conducive to cultivating students' overall understanding and comprehensive thinking ability. After determining the problems that need to be studied, students can enter the specific problem-solving process. Students can obtain information through surveys, interviews and data collection, and then make analysis and summary. In the summary stage, teachers guide students to process and sort out the harvest of their own practice and exploration, present it in the form of oral materials, physical objects, pictures, photos and simple text materials, exchange results, and then take advantage of the opportunity to hold a photo exhibition of flower picking works and make handwritten newspapers.
2. Comprehensive practical learning activities based on "craft making". This activity is closely combined with labor education, and it is a basic learning activity with practice as the main body. Activities should be teacher-led and student-centered, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students for autonomous learning. We can divide the teaching content into three stages according to the academic year:
The first stage is the adaptation period (arranged in the fourth grade). The main goal of last semester's activities is to know and learn the basic methods of acupuncture, and the next semester is to master the basic methods of acupuncture skillfully. At the end of the school year, students can complete small-scale flower picking works.
The second stage is the embryonic stage (arranged in the fifth grade). The main goal of last semester's activities was to design drawings and embroidery on the basis of mastering the basic stitches, and to design works for the group next semester. At the end of the school year, students can complete a miniature or small flower picking work designed by themselves.
The third stage is the growth stage (arranged in the sixth grade). At this stage, we should not only pay attention to students' mastery of basic knowledge and skills, but also pay attention to the cultivation of students' art, ability and aesthetic consciousness, so as to stimulate students' enthusiasm for learning. Students can embroider independently on the basis of mastering the basic stitches and complete their graduation works in groups. At the end of the semester, students' works should be exchanged and displayed. A collection bag of students' works should be established every semester, and teachers should evaluate students' works multiple times.
Huangmei has a long history, outstanding people and profound cultural heritage. It is called the hometown of poetry, couplets, martial arts and folk art. It is also the birthplace of Huangmei Opera and Zen Buddhism. These rich local resources are dynamic fertile soil for comprehensive practical activities. We should fully tap its cultural connotation and make it an educational function. This can enrich the content of comprehensive practical activities, improve students' humanistic quality, emotional values and practical innovation ability, and promote students' active learning and personality development.
