Text "Bird's Paradise"

Text

We ate dinner at Chen's little school. The heat had receded. The sun had set over the hillside, leaving only a section of brilliant red haze in the sky, over the hills, and over the treetops.

"Let's go boating!" Chen suggested. We were standing next to the pool in front of the school looking at the mountain view.

"Yes!" The other friends happily chimed in.

We walked down a gravel path and quickly made our way to the river. There was a thatched water pavilion there. Passing through the water pavilion, we found a couple of small boats under two big trees by the river.

One by one we jumped in one of the boats. A friend untied the rope, picked up a bamboo pole and the boat moved slowly, flowing toward the middle of the river.

Three friends rowed the boat, and Ye and I sat in the boat looking around the scenery.

In the distance a tower towered over the hillside, embraced by many green trees. There are very few towers like that around here, and that's where my friend Ye is from.

The river was wide and there were no waves on the white water. The boat flowed calmly across the water. The three oars ply the water at regular intervals.

At one place the river narrowed. Clusters of green leaves reached out to the water. The leaves were lovely green. It was many lush banyan trees, but I could not see where the trunks were.

When I said many banyan trees, my mistake was immediately corrected by my friends, one friend said there was only one banyan tree there and another friend said there were two banyan trees there. I have seen a lot of big banyan trees, but this is the first time I have seen one as big as this.

Our boat gradually approached the banyan tree. I had a chance to see it for what it was: a big tree with countless branches and roots, many of which went down to the ground and into the soil. Part of the branches hang down to the water, from a distance, like a big tree lying on the water.

It is the time of the year when the branches are in full bloom (the tree already has tiny fruits on it and many of them have fallen). The banyan tree seems to be putting on an exhibition of its full life force for us to see. So many green leaves, one cluster piled on top of another, leaving no gap. The bright green color shone brightly in front of our eyes, and it seemed as if a new life was quivering on each leaf of this beautiful southern tree!

The boat moored under the trees for a moment, the shore was very wet, we did not go up. My friend said that this is a "bird paradise", there are many birds in the tree nest, farmers do not allow people to catch them. I thought I heard a few birds fluttering their wings, but by the time my eyes looked up there, I couldn't see a single bird. There were only countless tree roots standing on the ground like many stakes. The ground was wet, as the river often washes up at high tide. There is not a single bird in "Bird Paradise", I thought. The boat was sailing. A friend pivoted the boat and slowly flowed into the middle of the river.

There were a few lychee trees in the path along the riverside fields. Tired red fruits dangled from the green leafy bushes. Our boat flowed there. A friend took an oar and pivoted the boat into a small ditch. Next to the trail, the boat stopped and we all jumped ashore.

Two friends quickly climbed up a tree and threw down a few branches of lychee with leaves from the tree, and the three of us, Chen and Ye, and I stood under the tree to catch them. After they came down to the ground, we all ate the lychees and walked back to the boat.

The next day we rowed to Ye's hometown, the place with the mountain and the tower. From Chen's school, we passed by the "Bird's Paradise".

This time it was in the morning, and the sun was shining on the water and on the treetops. Everything looked very bright. Our boat was moored under the trees for a while.

At first it was very quiet. Then suddenly there was a bird call. My friend Chen clapped his hands and we saw a big bird fly up, then a second, then a third. We continued to clap our hands. Soon the forest became very lively. Everywhere there were birds, everywhere there were birds. Big ones, small ones, flowery ones, black ones, some stood on branches and called, some flew up, some fluttered their wings.

I paid attention. My eyes were really overwhelmed, I saw this one clearly, missed that one, saw that one, and the third one flew away. A paintbrush flew out, gave a start to our clapping, flew into the woods again, and stood on a twig singing excitedly.

"Let's go." Ye urged me.

As the boat flowed towards the countryside below the tall tower, I also looked back at the lush banyan trees left behind. I had a bit of a lingering feeling. Yesterday my eyes deceived me. "Bird's Paradise" is indeed a bird's paradise!?

In Guangzhou in June 1933?

The focus of teaching

1, feel the big banyan tree's peculiar and beautiful as well as the spectacular scene of birds flying.

2. To appreciate the way the text describes static and dynamic scenery.

The Teaching Process Design

Bird's Paradise is the first text in the fifth unit of the eleventh book of the nine-year compulsory education six-year elementary school language. It mainly describes the beautiful banyan tree and the strange scene of birds' activities that the author and his friends saw during their two trips to Bird's Paradise, and expresses the author's love and praise for the scenery of nature. This is a classic text, however, in the protection of the living environment is increasingly important today, and gives this piece of fine work with new connotations. Therefore, in teaching, I closely follow the "independent - inquiry - practice" clues to design, and strive to make students in the independent learning and thinking, in the active exploration to obtain The first is to make sure that the students are aware of the fact that they are not in a state of shock.

First, read the text, the "clues".

Ye Shengtao in talking about the task of teaching reading, clearly pointed out that grasp the author's thinking, clear clues of the text, is the first task of reading teaching. I use the following steps to complete the teaching:

1, guide questioning, prompting the question: the text "bird paradise" refers to what? Where? Why is it called "bird paradise"? Through the questioning, activate students' thinking, stimulate students' interest.

2, the first reading, the clues. On the basis of the students questioning, let the students through self-reading, the overall perception of the text, while focusing on the following questions: the author went to the bird's paradise a few times, respectively, at what time, each time to see what? This problem is not difficult, students are fully capable of solving it by themselves. Teachers let go of students to learn, counseling individual students with difficulties. Through self-study, students not only read the text, and grasp the author's thinking, clear the clues of the text, to achieve the overall perception of the purpose of the text.

Second, independent study, talk about feelings.

"Bird's Paradise" this text language simple, beautiful mood, sincere feelings, very suitable for students to experience, to understand. The focus of this unit of reading and writing training is no longer to distinguish between the static and dynamic of things, but to have their own opinions when reading. This change further reflects the "language curriculum standards" concept, respect for students, promote democracy, promote individuality, more space and time for students to figure out, to understand. Therefore, I guide students to learn in this way:

1, grasp the passage, talk about feelings. In the overall perception of the students on the basis of the text, encourage students to speak freely, express their views, say which like to go to Bird's Paradise, and state their favorite reasons.

2, grasp the sentence, talk about feelings. On the basis of the students talk about their favorite passages, first guide students to find their favorite sentences, read again and again, savor, from the article between the lines to find the beauty. Then organize students to discuss, to talk about feelings, talk about insights, in the exchange, to reproduce the vibrant banyan tree, to reproduce the birds singing in the branches, to feel the beauty of the picture, the beauty of the rhythm, the beauty of the language, the beauty of life, the beauty of the behavior, the beauty of the emotion ......

3, grasp the reading, promote understanding. This is a good text to train students to read aloud. In teaching, guiding students to "read". Let the students choose their favorite passages, read aloud, feel whether they read out the author to express the emotions, and then read in the group, recommended to read good students in front of the class competition read.

Third, active exploration, realize "environmental protection".

"Bird's Paradise" is really a piece of quality and beauty of the fine works, especially in the vigorously advocate the "protection of the environment, everyone is responsible for" today. In teaching, guide the students to explore, through the surface phenomenon to see the essence: why this will become a bird's paradise? In this way, not only can mobilize students to explore the enthusiasm, but also enhance their awareness of environmental protection, it is really two birds with one stone.

1, the ecological environment here is good.

① The environment here is beautiful. A few natural paragraphs at the beginning of the article to show us a summer evening, here is not only around the very quiet, only hear the oars stirred up by the sound of the water, and the scenery is fascinating, brilliant red clouds still in the sky.

② The warm climate, wet land, rivers, is conducive to the growth of all things, so the big banyan tree is so vigorous and energetic.

③ There is an abundance of resources here. Because of the warm climate, all kinds of bugs reproduce vigorously, so there is plenty of food for the birds.

④ The banyan tree here is big. The large banyan tree is a real paradise for birds as it grows vigorously and has many branches and leaves, which is very suitable for birds to live and reproduce here.

2. People have a strong sense of protection.

People here do not allow people to catch birds, so the birds are protected and can live and reproduce without fear.

Fourth, comprehensive practice, practice "ability".

The Language Curriculum Standards tell us that we should be committed to the formation and development of students' language literacy, and strive to reflect the practical and comprehensive language in teaching, and guide students to learn to collect, learn to use, learn to communicate in practice. Bird's Paradise" has a comprehensive practical assignment: "Bird's Paradise" has become a tourist attraction. According to the content of the text, and find a way to collect some relevant materials for the guide to write a short commentary. Teaching, I am so designed:

1, collect materials, practice "access". Collection of methods can be varied, the Internet, go to the library, watch TV, survey visits and so on.

2, learn to write explanations, practice "work". Bird Paradise" video with appropriate commentary: according to their own collection of materials, learn to write a commentary, write a clear identity of the tour guide, travel to the place and the characteristics of this place, and strive to write a clear understanding, vivid image.

3, learning to be a tour guide, practice "communication". This is an extension of the following narration, the purpose of which is to allow students to learn to cooperate with others in practice, and socialize with others. Require students to form a free tour group, self-recommended to try to be a tour guide, accompanied by the whole explanation. When the class for the selection of outstanding tour guides, the students are interested and the atmosphere is warm. In this comprehensive practical activities, students in all aspects of the ability to get a greater improvement.
