Ask junior high school students to write a geography paper, "How does learning geography help our daily life?"
Geography is a subject that studies geographical things, geographical phenomena, geographical environment and its development and change laws. Geographical things and geographical phenomena are closely related to human activities and social development. Because geography covers a wide range and is closely related to social life, it is necessary to master the geographical knowledge needed for daily life, survival, development and continuous learning, understand the geographical overview of hometown, motherland and the world, understand the changes of geographical environment, and understand the population, resources, environment and people facing. Therefore, the new geography curriculum standard advocates two basic concepts, namely "the principle that learning is useful for life" and "geography that learning is useful for lifelong development". The content selection of new geography textbooks also pays attention to the educational concept of "student-oriented development", respects students' personality and personality development, fully adapts to students' innate desire and curiosity for exploration, and tries to choose geographical content that is close to students' life and valuable for lifelong development, so that students can learn geography in real life. Because the content of textbook selection is close to students' life, it is necessary to cultivate students' habit of absorbing geographical knowledge from daily life in teaching practice. So how to cultivate this habit? 1. Absorb geographical knowledge while watching TV. Nowadays, besides going to school every day, students may like watching TV best. So how to make them watch TV easily and learn more about geography? In classroom teaching, I try my best to connect with students' real life according to each teaching content, and guide students to watch some TV programs selectively instead of immersing themselves in some soap operas. News broadcast, weather forecast, Zhengda variety show, man and nature, Happy Dictionary, Lucky 52, Challenge Host, China Grand Stage, Super English Power Grid and other variety shows. They all cover a lot of geographical knowledge. Especially by watching the weather forecast of CCTV at 7: 30 in the evening, we can understand the order and content of the weather forecast. Common weather symbols, the purpose and significance of weather forecast, let the seventh grade learn the section "Weather and Climate", remember the locations and provincial capitals of 34 provincial administrative regions, let the eighth grade learn the contents of "34 provincial administrative regions", learn to think and analyze the reasons for the weather differences in various cities, and learn a lot of geographical knowledge invisibly. The news simulcast of the central, provincial and municipal stations will report some important events all over the world, the whole country, the whole province and the whole city. Students can watch TV in connection with their geographical knowledge and deepen and consolidate their geographical knowledge. Second, absorb geographical knowledge in shopping malls, supermarkets and shopping. Nowadays, students like shopping malls, supermarkets and shopping when they have nothing to do. In fact, in this process, as long as students have a sense of learning and are willing to live, they can also learn some geographical knowledge. For example, if you buy some snacks or fruits, you can know where these foods or fruits are produced. Think about why it happened there. What does it have to do with climate and environment? When buying some daily necessities, know the origin of daily necessities and think about the relationship with industrial production and distribution. As soon as you walk into a shopping mall or supermarket, you can classify those dazzling goods according to their product nature to see which ones are heavy industry products and which ones are light industry products; Classify products according to raw materials: see which are renewable resources and which are non-renewable resources; You can also see which are agricultural raw material products and which are industrial raw material products; Which are finished or semi-finished products, which are high-tech products and so on. This will make students feel that "there is geography everywhere in life" and "life cannot be separated from geography". It turns out that we are learning all the time, and life is learning. Learning is life, and we will never separate learning from life again. We don't think that learning is a heavy burden, but we will regard learning as a pleasure, and paying attention everywhere is learning, thus greatly improving students' enthusiasm for learning geography. In teaching practice, while teaching geography knowledge, I pay more attention to students' application of geography knowledge and the cultivation of comprehensive practical ability, and often guide students to establish topics and carry out some comprehensive geographical practice activities in connection with their real life and hobbies. In geography practice, I encourage students to apply what they have learned in class to their daily life, so that students can find and solve problems in their daily life practice, thus cultivating their comprehensive quality. For example, when I was in the eighth grade "Water Resources", I asked my classmates to explore the causes of the catastrophic flood in Chenzhou for several years in a row and put forward rectification measures and preventive countermeasures. In the course of plate tectonic theory, I encourage students to understand the cause, process and consequences of the Indian Ocean tsunami by reading newspapers and surfing the Internet, and combine these contents to let students explore: Will the coastal areas of China be hit by a tsunami? Why do earthquakes often occur in Taiwan Province Province and Japan? After studying the local geography of Chenzhou, aiming at the present situation of the development and utilization of tourism resources in Chenzhou, I instructed students to investigate the existing problems and solutions in the development of tourism in Chenzhou, and made suggestions for the development of tourism in Chenzhou. In order to make students care about and understand the economic construction in their hometown, I instructed students to investigate private enterprises in Chenzhou-Yuxiang flour industry and Chenzhou native products, and learned about the great achievements made by private enterprises in Chenzhou through interviews and investigations. There are also students' research on "domestic animation", "study on the toxicity of correction fluid" and investigation on the exotic species "Pogostemon" in Chenzhou. These topics all come from the life around students. I also let students experience the fun of applying what they have learned through activities such as "the plan design of my ideal school", geography small production, geography blackboard newspaper and geography essay writing. In the process of participating in these activities, students' observation ability, thinking ability, practical operation ability, interpersonal communication ability, information collection and processing ability and problem analysis ability have all been improved to a certain extent, and the spirit of unity and cooperation of students has been cultivated, and their enthusiasm for learning geography has also been improved.
