The school teaching and research office suddenly sent a message saying that he was going to the school auditorium to listen to Teacher Zhou Min’s class the next day. Although I am not very familiar with Teacher Zhou, I have heard that she has always taught graduating classes and has never been out of sixth grade. How could the school trust him so much if he had no skills? After seeing the information about the class, I started thinking: It is Teacher Zhou’s class, and it is a class that can be taken in the auditorium, so it must not be ordinary.

It turns out that my idea was absolutely correct.

"Farewell to Xin Jian at Furong Tower" is a poem by Wang Changling. In the process of being a Chinese teacher over the years, poetry teaching has gradually formed a framework and model for poetry teaching as I listened to, studied, and prepared lessons. Generally speaking, it includes the steps of knowing the poet, interpreting the title of the poem, reading the poem, understanding the meaning of the poem, and understanding the sentiment of the poem. The teacher will lead you to interpret and learn poetry. But Teacher Zhou doesn’t seem to be like this.

At the beginning of this class, Teacher Zhou first asked the students to read the poem with their own feelings, and then asked the students to share their understanding and experience of the poem. The students also learned about the deep friendship between Wang Changling and Xin Jian through repeated chanting in different ways.

"I entered Wu in the cold and rainy night, and saw off my guest Chu Shangu in the morning."

After the students realized the friendship between the two, Teacher Zhou focused on " On the word "lonely". Where in this poem makes people feel "lonely"? Where does the "solitude" in the poet's heart come from? In order to answer these questions, Teacher Zhou carefully produced a video of Wang Changling’s life story. From birth to death, Wang Changling's life is condensed into this video of a few minutes. Integrity is flawless, worthy of praise and tears!

In that dark era of politics dominated by sycophants, Wang Changling, who had been honest and dedicated to the people all his life, was a lonely and courageous man who defended his loyal ministers. However, he offended the villain and was demoted again and again by the emperor. He has the country at heart and is full of ambition, but he is not reused. At this moment, he was walking alone on the road. How many people could understand the loneliness in his heart?

"Friends and relatives in Luoyang are like asking each other, and a heart of ice is in a jade pot."

Even if he ends up alone, the poet has no regrets. Because to obtain fame is to do things for the people, isn't it natural to remain honest and upright? It is faith, integrity, and the arrogance of an official to not join the ranks of treacherous and sycophantic people.

"Virtue is never alone, it must have neighbors."

The fragrance of the soul comes from perseverance. Because of Wang Changling's persistence in faith and integrity, he will naturally attract many like-minded people. Meng Haoran, Cen Shen, Zhang Jiuling... those who also have an innocent heart and a noble soul are all his friends. So is Wang Changling lonely? Maybe he was alone, but his soul was never lonely.

In class, I was particularly impressed by the students' performance. They all talked endlessly, recounting the books they had read before and the deeds of famous people. His thorough understanding of this seven-character quatrain and his personal understanding of the poet and poetic realm are no less than those of every teacher present. And behind these witty words, who can say that it is not the collision of thinking, the stimulation of inspiration, and the expression of creation?

While listening to the class, I was deeply impressed by Teacher Zhou's "master style" on the stage, and was deeply shocked by the students' classroom performance. And behind this, there is even more admiration for Teacher Zhou! It turns out that after a teacher deeply understands the teaching materials, explores the teaching materials, and studies the class, the class can be so exciting and the students can give you so many surprises!

I have always believed that the soul of a class lies in the teacher's interpretation of the class. Teacher Zhou's interpretation of this poem and Wang Changling's "loneliness and not being lonely" made my eyes shine. I heard colleagues in the office say that Teacher Zhou had read several books and learned all about Wang Changling’s life for this class.

I can't help but think, if we can devote so much energy to every class, maybe we can become a master in less than a year, right?

After listening to the class, what I thought about most was not the teaching design and teaching methods, but how should I prepare the class to stimulate the collision of 50 thoughts like Teacher Zhou? Reading is of course the key, but even more critical is my understanding and output of these books. The most critical point is, after reading these books, how to formulate a clear idea based on the textbook content and teaching objectives? How do I filter the information I get? Then how to integrate this information into the class in a simple and in-depth way? Finally, express it in a language that your child can understand!

The time and energy required to do this is simply unimaginable, but Teacher Zhou did it!

This class made me understand that teachers must know how to "build a ladder" for students' thinking in the classroom. This class starts from students reading poems with their own understanding, to understanding poems through the poet's life, to understanding the meaning of poetry from the perspective of perceiving the poet's integrity and beliefs. Progress step by step, step by step. Teacher Zhou is like a guide standing in the middle of the sea of ??books, leading the students to different platforms all the way, and giving the students the scepter of knowledge in time, so that they can climb to higher peaks and see more Beautiful scenery. With this said, it is not an exaggeration to call Teacher Zhou "Master".

After listening to the class, the principal was in awe of Teacher Zhou. At first, I couldn't fully understand the specific reason. And now, I totally get it.

For Teacher Zhou’s high-level and high-level class, all I can do is study. Learn from Teacher Zhou’s control of the classroom, learn from Teacher Zhou’s teaching skills, and the most important thing to learn is Teacher Zhou’s craftsmanship.

Because to be a teacher, you no longer need to have a "bucket of water", but a pool of living water that is constantly changing.
