There is a way to do everything in the world, there is a lock and key to enter the door, there are boats and bridges to cross the river, and there is a way to keep a diary, but I didn't start out by telling the students how to write a diary. A brand new diary sent to them, everyone is particularly happy, are asking me what to write. With is I just said to them, you can write whatever you want to write. The next day when I taught the students, they had a variety of journals and all of them were well written. So I said to them, this is your diary, you can write whatever you like. But after a few days, some students said they didn't know what to write about, as if there was nothing left to write about. At this point, I began to students' guidance, mainly from the following aspects:
1. What can be written in the diary.
(1) is to write an observation diary. Observation is the window to recognize things, is the foundation of the composition, is our daily life materials into the article of the bridge, a person only to the things around the constant systematic and thorough observation, in order to obtain a large number of perceptual materials. The depth of observation and the quality of the article is directly proportional. For this reason, I ask students to pay attention to all kinds of things, develop the habit of observation. For example, write about their own progress, achievements, affirmation of their own, make encouragement, so that they can clearly see the road ahead of a string of footprints, a string of crooked, deep and shallow, but always in the forward extension of the footprints; also write a social phenomenon, feelings, to the social family heard and witnessed some of the true, good and beautiful fresh, false, ugly, evil, strange things written down, and to find an example, realize the importance of the world of work. Examples of people, understand the reasoning of the world, prompting themselves to slowly form a correct view of love and hate; again, the beauty of the four seasons, constituting a unique watercolor scrolls, attracting students in the diary to write a wonderful symphony of spring, summer, autumn and winter; colorful celestial phenomena, giving students a lot of enlightenment and benefit, stirring up the enthusiasm of the students to explore the mysteries of the universe; the magnificent mountains and rivers, aroused the hands of the students with the pen to depict the color of the landscape scrolls of passion; many Landscape scrolls of passion; colorful plants, so that students are relaxed and imaginative; lovely animals, with the posture of the body, bright colors, strange behavior and beautiful songs to attract students' eyes and ears, moving their hearts. Two semester training down, I was surprised to find: my class of students in the ordinary life found a lot of shiny things, write a lot of masterpieces.
Of course, an observation diary requires careful observation, looking with the eyes, listening with the ears, smelling with the nose, tasting with the tongue, touching with the hands, mobilizing the whole body's senses, and meticulously describing their shapes, colors and tastes.
(2) is to write a diary of feelings. Watched a news, read an article, read a cartoon, watched a show, watched a movie, listened to a song, listened to a lecture, kicked a ball, got criticized, advised a fight, cracked a joke, scolded someone, fell for a trick, got a scare, watched an exhibition, took part in a competition ... ...and so on, what do you think, what do you think, do you agree or disagree; why do you think that way, why do you think that way, why do you agree, why do you disagree; what good advice do you have, how would you do it yourself ...... You see, it turns out that there are so many questions worth thinking about. Writing these out is rich food for your journal.
(3) is to write a diary of activities. Home quiz, family turmoil, disputes between neighbors, guest visits, weekend excursions, school parties, basketball games, military training, sports games, disputes in the mall, street scams, bar watching, hiking, swimming, planting trees ...... and so on, will be the occurrence of these activities, time, place, people, the cause of things, through, results and so on, record This becomes the material for a diary.
(4) is to write imaginary diary. Human imagination is infinite, through the imagination, you can be the king of thousands of horses and armies, you can be free to come and go of the gods, you can be the power to pull a thousand pounds of warriors, you can be dressed in robes of the ancient scholars, you can be a powerful general, you can be brave to win thousands of champions, you can be Napoleon, you can be Edison, you can be Leonardo da Vinci, you can be Pavarotti, you can be Ronaldo, you can be Jackie Chan ......; through imagination, you can be a rock on the moon, you can be a star shining in the night sky, you can be a piece of ice in the Antarctic, you can be a drop of water in the Amazon, you can be a blade of grass in the Himalayas, you can be a whale in the Pacific Ocean, you can be a lion in the African prairie ......; through imagination, kittens can dance, leaves can fight, rhinoceros can spit fire ...... haha, you see how marvelous it is! Ancient and modern, the sky, land, sea ...... and so on have become a piece of your pen at will, how you want to make up how to make up. In this way, you will still worry about nothing to write?
(5) is to write a cut-and-paste journal. You see a good article, copy it down; you see a good vocabulary word, copy it down; you see a good beginning and ending, copy it down; you see a good paragraph, copy it down; you see a good cartoon, photocopy it; you read a good book, write down a general idea about it; you listen to a good song, copy down the lyrics; you write down the news of the world that is published in the newspaper or magazine; ......
(6) Keep a story journal.
Story diary is a form of continuing, imitating and creating stories based on fairy tales or other stories that students have heard. For example, I asked the students to write "the tortoise and the hare race new biography", after the first hare running lost to the tortoise, they had a race again, this time, how is the situation; and then after watching a lot of cartoons, we know a lot of anime characters, we ourselves to make up stories for them and so on. In this way, after a period of imitation writing, continued writing, students like this kind of diary, they like their own independent creation of fairy tales, I would very much encourage this kind of diary, so that they can first think, and then say it to everyone, or go home to ask parents for advice, and then write down.
"The sea is wide enough for the fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for the birds to fly." What you want to write what you want to write how you want to write how to write, so that you can meet the student's desire to imagine, the desire to create, cultivate "want to write" consciousness, stimulate "happy to write" interest, cultivate "good writing "The first is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.
2. persistence, adhere to write a good diary.
Persisting on keeping a diary, one can practice, the second can develop the ability to observe, the third can accumulate writing materials. As the saying goes, "A good memory is better than a bad pen." I asked the students to write a diary, to do with words, no words is short. Or a personalized character language, or a display of psychological activity of the look, action, or a strange association, or a unique feeling, an interesting natural phenomenon and so on. After a semester of writing, most of the students in the class are able to keep a diary.
3. The diary must be true .
The diary must tell the truth, because the diary is written to themselves, is a personal history of the faithful record, if you tell a lie, is not cheating themselves? To tell the truth means that what you write down every day should be true, and the feelings you write down every day should also be true. How do you encourage and motivate students not to make things up? I mainly take the means of incentives, found that students write down the real things in life, I promptly praised in front of the class, even if the writing is not very good, but as long as the writing of true feelings, I will praise him. For a long time, my class put an end to plagiarism and the phenomenon of making things up.
In this way, after a semester of persistence, the class is happy to write a diary more and more students, diary writing students more and more students. I believe that as long as you persist and put in the effort, then things will always be good. Our class diary will also insist on writing
For example, the students visited the philatelic exhibition, they will be allowed to enter the ticket, commemorative postmarks are pasted in the clerk's book, and will be the newspaper on the postal exhibition of the introduction and coverage of the article is also cut and pasted, and then write their own feelings.
Another example is that a student is traveling with his father. He can collect the daily bus tickets, park tickets, scenic photos or postcards, as well as instructions about places of interest together and paste them in his diary, and then write about what he gained during the trip and his feelings, expressing his love for the great motherland.
Even in ordinary life, there are many things worth cutting and pasting. The advantages of this kind of scrapbooking diary is: can save a lot of intuitive original materials and things of monumental significance, to help students expand their knowledge, in the future, when faced with these rich and vivid information, can evoke how many wonderful memories of the children ah! However, children should be allowed to pay attention to, cutting and pasting newspapers and magazines, do not affect the reading and preservation of others.
Two-year diary
Dividing each page of a larger diary into two parts. Use only the top column for this year's journaling. On this day next year, the bottom column can be used. In this way, a diary can be used for two years in a row, and each page can be used to record the events of the same day in both years.
The advantage of this kind of diary is that you can learn from the past. Recall what I was doing today last year, and what I was doing today the year before that, what progress has been made in a year or two years, the student will continue to move forward. For example, a student learned to skate on August 3 of the first year. At first, it was scary and he fell a few times. On this day the next year, when he turned the page again, thanks to his hard work and the help of his classmates, he was skating so well that he was able to compete. Looking back at the efforts and progress of the year looking forward to the next year, determined to strive for better results. This method is very motivating for students. In addition, because the length of a daily journal is limited and does not allow for a lot of verbosity, it is often necessary to write the journal with a lot of thought, to tailor the material and to try to keep the words concise. This is a better way to practice students' writing and generalization skills.
