Some people say that writing is like cooking delicious food. How to determine the formula, how to buy ingredients, and how to cook out of the pot need to be carefully studied. Of course, no chef cooks by mouth, and superb skills are accumulated over time and constantly practiced.
First, determine the "cuisine"
I often hear children complain that the topic of composition is "the most interesting thing" or "the most touching person". Yes, always let children eat a dish, and in the end they can only be malnourished or anorexic. According to students' psychological characteristics, the composition proposition should be synchronized with students' psychological development on the premise of understanding students' psychological laws and grasping students' writing mentality, so as to optimize students' writing motivation, stimulate students' writing interest, enhance students' writing confidence and finally write a good composition.
(A), the child's preference.
Children's hobbies are mostly different, some like watching TV, some like playing games, and some like reading novels. But in the intense study, many hobbies of children are considered as wasting time and doing nothing. If you build a platform for children at this time to satisfy their preferences, let them record what they see, play and why they like it. This will not only let parents know more about their children, but also complete a flesh-and-blood composition in a relaxed atmosphere.
(2) Proposition on the premise of keeping children's pure feelings.
Motherly love and fatherly love are often inexhaustible eternal themes. More importantly, understanding maternal love and fatherly love also helps us to understand the source of life, thus establishing a correct outlook on life. "Washing parents' feet for the first time" and "occasionally seeing parents' rickety backs or parents' white temples" and so on, these thought-provoking topics can always arouse children's voices and make them have something to say and feel.
(C), full of interesting propositions
Pupils are often interested in myths, legends and historical stories, so we should extend the subject matter to these aspects, process and recreate the plots and characters from a new angle, and make the creative process of pupils full of interest and freshness.
(D), seize the "turning point" proposition
It is a turning point for students who have just entered the third grade, and their thoughts have changed a lot. The third grade is no longer a child in the eyes of teachers. Such thoughts and experiences can be transformed into a lot of ideological materials for writing, so that they can communicate their true inner thoughts, show their "self" and tap their writing potential in time.
(5) Proposition based on phenomena in life.
Many students are idolized. Many students play mobile phones and read extracurricular books in class. They have a heated discussion on this phenomenon, and finally write about the cognitive changes after the debate, which can not only let students practice writing, but also alleviate their psychological confusion, thus exercising their ability to deal with contradictions rationally during their growth.
(6), unconstrained style, students' free proposition
Propositions are always flawed, which often imprisons children's thoughts, and their imaginative ideas cannot be expressed in time. If children are allowed to write freely, even one or two sentences, a short thought and cognition can also make them experience the comfort of "writing a few lines" and stimulate their desire to write.
Second, choose "ingredients"
Nowadays, students are usually very tired in writing, and when it comes to exam-oriented composition, it means "one is the first two". However, there are often two phenomena in the examination room: a few students, with the help of God, study hard; Most of them are scratching their heads for a few lines. This phenomenon stems from whether there is "goods" in your stomach: if there is, then you write it as a god, if not, you can't pour it out no matter how you think. Nowadays, in the face of overwhelming, colorful and voluminous books, how to effectively and consciously accumulate them becomes the key to composition materials.
I often listen to my parents recall some scenes: sitting on a small stool and pestering my parents to tell stories; Climb the tree and listen to the words sung by the scholar; Read the yellowed "picture books" carefully ... Now students have more reading opportunities than before, but they don't know where to start. Therefore, it is necessary to teach them systematic and thematic reading in order to form their own material chain.
(A), into history
Ten minutes before class, sometimes I can see a boy drooling and telling historical stories, and the highlight is often dancing; Sometimes you can see a girl telling a beautiful ancient love story, and the emotional part begins to cry in a low voice. Patriotism, nostalgia and soul of china are interspersed in the story, so that students can inadvertently inherit the essence of history and culture, and it is easier to accumulate writing materials.
(B), into the classics
There are too many classic passages in famous books for us to learn from. After reading it, we can extract or cut and paste it in a notebook, connect beautiful pictures with famous works, and then express it in our own language and apply it to writing.
(C), into idioms
Many composition students like to use idioms to improve the level of their articles, but sometimes they are self-defeating. The reason is that they don't understand the meaning, usage and allusions of idioms, so they often make jokes. If you accumulate an idiom every day, indicate its origin, meaning, use, allusions, etc., and communicate with your classmates from time to time, then idioms will really become the highlight of your writing.
(4) Integration with nature
Nature never deceives human beings, so the feelings from nature are always true and simple, true and moving. As long as we walk into nature, observe our feelings, be friends with mountains and rivers, be companions with flowers and plants, and take this as an opportunity to find the starting point of composition, mobilize students' abstract thinking, and skillfully combine some characteristics of nature, emotions with people's emotions or certain social phenomena with the help of artistic techniques to express people's feelings, express people's thoughts, or criticize the shortcomings of the times, or praise truth, goodness and beauty, or express their aspirations with things, or compare people with things. Beauty comes from this. Rodin said: "There is never a lack of beauty in life, but a lack of beautiful eyes."
(5), labor mood
Arrange students' homework in class meeting or reading class and arrange a certain amount of field homework in time, which is the most direct, real and unforgettable, and it is better than reading those poems. Knowing the hardships of labor, we will cherish the fruits of labor and the opportunities for learning. This emotional experience is real and touching, full of earthy flavor, simple and long-lasting.
(6) Integration into society
Let students feel the festive atmosphere in the streets of holidays; Go to the bus station to observe busy pedestrians and try to figure out their inner world; Go to the free market to feel honesty and fraud, gain insight into society, feel it, record your inner feelings with notes, and lay a solid foundation for future writing.
(vii) Focus of discussion
With the rapid development of society and the widespread popularity of computers, the traditional rigid reading mode has been changed. Through images, sounds and videos, students' interest in learning is stimulated, so that students can get in touch with social trends at the fastest speed and participate in the discussion of social hot issues, such as "Hubei college students' rescue incident" and "Zhou Tiger incident". Some parents and teachers can speak freely on the network platform if they can't. You can not only express your own views, but also learn from others' unique perspectives on things. Such a large reading library is a powerful backup force for our writing.
Real reading and "reading" of life go hand in hand. Teachers should fully stimulate students' interest in reading, tap their reading potential and improve their reading ability. Let students become masters of knowledge, people who care about their lives and captors of their feelings, so that the articles written can reveal their true feelings at once.
Third, cooking "dishes"
A delicious dish can never be a simple pile of ingredients and seasonings, and the ingredients are the same. This is why some students write beautiful articles, and some students have a running account.
A good beginning is half the battle.
"Good writing, good work and a half". Look at the text first. The topic is a basic skill of composition. The writing of composition topics can not only reflect students' language ability, but also reflect the novelty of students' ideological level. A compelling topic gives people a sense of otherness. For example, "The harbor here is quiet" is quite innovative and memorable. Seeing the topic reminds people of an ordinary and subtle metaphor about "home": home is a safe haven and home is a comfortable nest. Savoring it carefully will make you feel the tranquility, warmth and beauty of family life. Seeing such a fascinating topic is already a magnetic field that attracts readers. If we set up "a curtain" or "a screen" at this time to make readers curious about your article and eager to uncover the suspense you left behind, such a wonderful beginning will definitely add a lot of color to your article.
(B) substantial content will make the article more exciting
The usual accumulation is a treasure house when writing, and extracting information and using it accurately is the key at this moment. If the materials usually accumulated are not used in the composition, students will gradually lose their accumulated interest and enthusiasm. Therefore, students are required to keep their usual accumulation books at hand every time they write a composition, so as to form the habit of using materials, thus well eliminating some students' bad writing habits of not thinking before writing, being confused when writing, and writing when they want to.
There are many styles of writing, but when practicing writing, we should dilute the style of writing and use narrative, explanatory, argumentative and lyrical articles flexibly. No matter how you conceive, conceive, use words and make sentences, you should broaden your thinking, express yourself freely and develop your thinking ability of seeking differences. I once listened to a teacher's composition class on portrait description, which made me feel refreshed. He asked the students to "find their father". After reading a classmate's article, five or six classmates actually said that this was the father they described, and no one "claimed" another article. As a result, the students burst into laughter, because the students did not grasp the most representative characteristics of their father to describe, but a thousand people. An article without its own characteristics is just trying to piece together words. Another student described the example of spring as follows: pink and green, full of spring, although good, but lacking some imagination. However, another student wrote: One day in March is a sunny day. The warm spring breeze blew away the peach blossoms and the flowers woke up; The warm spring breeze blew away the tender buds of the willow tree, and the willow tree woke up ... Such poetic words filled the article with the breath of spring, no longer like a withered mummy. For another example, a classmate saw a few boats parked on the lake, and introduced an all-time "Night Sleeping" near Fengqiao, which made the article full of ancient rhyme and made people chew it carefully. Rich and full content is reflected in such details. After in-depth analysis, it is not difficult to find that the wonderful part of the original article is so simple.
(3) The ending of "phoenix tail" is unforgettable.
A few paragraphs are eloquent, and before you know it, it's almost the end. How can we make readers have the desire to read again? The conclusion is mainly to point out the topic and summarize it, so that readers can remember your content again and leave a fragrance on their teeth and cheeks. Or use parallelism to emphasize, enhance tone, use metaphor to make the ending vivid or use exaggeration to shock the reader's heartstrings. I have seen a classmate end up like this: a quilt is not folded properly, a beam of sunshine smells, a small fish is playing with water, and a flower is sleeping in a dream. Happiness is leisure in busyness, simplicity in complexity. Some students also concluded that in the face of helplessness and setbacks, people full of yearning and perseverance can also find a way out. Although this road is not straight, it has been moving forward ... how long, how suitable and how natural. This "ingenious pen" makes the ending more vivid.
Fourth, how to guide?
In the traditional composition class, teachers often read a model essay to let students find out the highlights of writing and ask students to imitate and write a similar article, or ask students to read an article or a book to write their own feelings. Since the Enlightenment, it is wrong to simply explain and rely entirely on students' composition teaching, and both tendencies have gone to extremes. If the methods of "chatting", "situational observation", "game activities" and "emotional communication" are used instead of composition teaching, a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere will be created, so that students can freely express what they see, hear and think, and teachers will only give appropriate guidance according to the current situation, so that the process of composition class will fully respect people's emotions, personality and cognitive characteristics, and students can think and modify their own exercises while learning from the strengths of others. I believe everyone likes this kind of composition class.
If we can have such a competition in the composition class:
(1) Crosstalk Competition
Four words are randomly selected from the teacher's choice of words, and seemingly unrelated words are combined into a wonderful story through imagination and association. It not only exercises students' oral expression ability, but also enlivens the boring atmosphere of composition class.
2. Be a doctor.
In an article given by the teacher, students can pick out and correct typos, inappropriate verbs and adjectives, embarrassing sentences or whether they can have major surgery on the plot by discussing, looking up dictionaries or consulting extracurricular books. Through this "fault-finding" training, students will not make similar mistakes in future writing, and they will also have a clear direction when checking their compositions.
(3) Strive to be a "writer"
In order to make students consciously write their compositions, teachers can run a small newspaper by class and invite students to contribute regularly, so that wonderful articles can be published and read aloud in the composition class and shown to parents after class. This can effectively mobilize students' writing enthusiasm, enhance their self-confidence and stimulate their competitive thinking. Over time, writing has become a spontaneous activity, and teachers' compulsion is no longer needed. Only in this way can students get practical exercise and improvement.
Interest is an invisible force, and interest is an interest activity with strong emotions. Professor Ding Zhaozhong, a famous Chinese-American scholar, once said with deep feelings: "In any scientific research, the most important thing is whether you are interested in what you are doing, in other words, whether you are enterprising. This cannot be forced. For example, doing physics experiments, because I am interested, I can stay in the laboratory for two days and two nights, or even three days and three nights. I am eager to discover what I want to explore. " It is interest and enterprising spirit that have promoted Professor Ding's scientific research and made him a great success. Interest can open people's intelligence, enrich knowledge, broaden their horizons, and make people good at adapting to the environment and full of enthusiasm for life. Since interest has played such a big role, what are those students who are not interested in composition waiting for? Take action quickly to stimulate your interest in composition. As the saying goes, "If you are not interested, you must create interest." .
It is not difficult to write a composition, but it is not difficult to say it. The key is interest. The improvement of composition level is not a one-off event, but a long-term accumulation.
