Teachers guide students to write geography compositions, including selecting topics, collecting materials, establishing arguments and revising writing.
First, choose the right theme.
Guide students to set out from reality and choose the appropriate thesis topic. If it is a geography paper that focuses on theoretical discussion, it is necessary to read books and articles in this field extensively. Use the basic principles of geography and geographical facts to demonstrate, supplement or deny a theory, hypothesis or theory. If it is a geography paper focusing on practical application, it is necessary to analyze a geographical phenomenon and solve a geographical problem on the basis of accumulation and investigation.
Generally speaking, the topic selection of small papers should focus on observing geographical and geological phenomena and collecting geographical data. For example, after teachers lead students to visit Mufu Mountain, they can draw up the causes of Da Qiao, the characteristics and causes of Luxi Cave, karst landforms and caves. Another example is that after teachers visit Wanfu Industrial Park near Wuning Lake, they can organize students to talk about the environmental relationship between Wanfu Industrial Development Zone and Wuning Lake. The topic should be specific, not too big, otherwise, students will not be easy to master.
Second, collect reliable information and enrich the arguments.
Collecting information mainly includes two aspects. First, read the literature to understand what others have done in this regard, what opinions have been put forward and what materials have been provided, so as to enrich, improve and develop on the basis of predecessors. The first-hand information obtained by the older generation of scientists through years of hard work can be used as reference or evidence for writing. Papers written by quoting these materials are not only convincing, but also greatly broaden students' horizons, expand their ideas and enrich their arguments.
Third, establish a clear argument
The argument here refers to the views and opinions on a geographical thing and phenomenon. For example, the paper entitled Why new york Becomes a World Financial Center should be defined as 1. A stable political situation. Perfect financial institutions. Open the foreign exchange market and relax financial management. 4. Strong economic strength. Convenient and quick contact information. According to these arguments, it can be concluded that new york has the superior conditions to become a world financial center.
Fourth, write and revise papers.
Instruct students to write and revise the writing outline and start writing geography papers. Put forward the geographical argument in the paper, and demonstrate it with geographical theory and factual materials, so as to make the viewpoint clear, the materials reliable and the conclusions accurate. A good article should have a fascinating beginning and a simple ending.
To guide students to write papers, teachers must have high geographical literacy, practical experience and writing ability. Only in this way can they do a good job in guiding.
