五.研習(xí)第一段:1.誦讀指導(dǎo)要處理好句中停頓2.請學(xué)生對照注釋翻譯本段重點詞句:學(xué)不可以已已:停止。青,取之于藍而青于藍于:從;比。木直中繩中:zhàng符合,合于。雖有槁暴,不復(fù)挺者,揉使之然也有通又,揉通煣,以火烘木,使其彎曲。然:這樣。翻譯:故木受繩則直,金就礪則利,君子博學(xué)而日參省乎己,則知明而行無過矣。所以木材經(jīng)墨線畫過(再用斧鋸加工)就直了,金屬刀劍拿到磨刀石上(磨過)就鋒利了,君子廣博地學(xué)習(xí)并且每天對自己檢驗反省,就能智慧明達,行為沒有過錯了。3.本段是從哪個角度論述中心論點的?明確:本段是從學(xué)習(xí)的意義這個角度論述中心論點的。荀子認為人的知識、道德、才能都不是天生成的,而是后天不斷學(xué)習(xí)獲得的,學(xué)習(xí)的意義十分重大,所以學(xué)習(xí)不能停止。4.本段中幾個比喻句是為了說明什么道理?學(xué)生討論發(fā)言,教師明確:
結(jié)合歷史自古以來,江山美人歷來都是引無數(shù)英雄豪杰競折腰的,如果說英雄選擇了美人卻丟了江山,把所有罪名都歸結(jié)于“女人是禍水”。但是,紂王無道,和有了妲己有必然的聯(lián)系嗎?有人說妲己壞透了,壞透了的妲己如果不是取得紂王的信任是壞不起來的,紂王聽信了妲己的讒言,聽與不聽決定權(quán)在紂王,而不在妲己。強勢永遠在紂王一邊。再來看看西施和楊貴妃:西施是作為越國貢獻給吳國的供品來到吳王夫差的身邊的,楊貴妃更是先是李隆基的兒媳婦被看中而得寵的。所以,西施和楊貴妃這兩個可憐的女人根本沒有自己的獨立選擇,沒有獨立的愛情,如果沒有西施,就會有南施,或北施;如果沒有楊貴妃,就會有李貴妃,王貴妃,總之什么施,什么妃是不能少的,因為那是吳王和李隆基的需要。
小結(jié)人們對待祥林嫂這個“嫁而再寡”的不幸女人態(tài)度:①、魯四老爺?shù)膽B(tài)度:不讓她干祭祀的活(71、73、75、108通過四嬸先后三喊“你放著罷”,殺人不見血地葬送了祥林嫂的性命。而其中尤以最后一次對其打擊最大)。魯四老爺站在頑固維護封建宗法制度的立場上,從精神上殘酷地虐殺她。他暗暗地告誡四嬸的那段話,就是置祥林嫂于死地而又不露一絲血痕的軟刀子。②、魯四嬸的態(tài)度:魯四嬸是“大戶人家的太太”,頭一次留祥林嫂是看她能干,祥林嫂被婆家綁架走以后,她害怕給自己家惹麻煩。之后她惦念祥林嫂不是因為關(guān)心她的命運,而是自己的傭人都沒有祥林嫂那樣可心。以后祥林嫂再來,她“起初還躊躕”,后來倒是真心憐憫祥林嫂,留下她。但是祥林嫂不像過去那樣靈活能干了,四嬸開始“不滿”,進而“警告”,最后把祥林嫂趕出家門??梢哉f,四嬸只是把祥林嫂當成一件工具罷了,沒有把她當人來看。
一、明確目標1.注意小傳的寫作特色,如小傳的“小”以及是怎樣小中見大的。2.引導(dǎo)學(xué)生進行綜合把握和比較閱讀以更好地理解課文內(nèi)容,看看在寫法上各自有什么不同。3.一詞多義的準確知識運用二、整體感知1.解題李商隱的《李賀小傳》有別于一般傳記文的客觀直敘,是一篇性情之文;同時也和作者的詩歌風(fēng)格相異,寫得樸實自然而又不乏意趣。2.本文所體現(xiàn)的“小傳”的特點本文最大的特點在于:小傳雖小,但小中有大、以小見大。其“小”在于:作者并沒有全面勾勒詩人李賀的一生,對他的生平經(jīng)歷也記敘不多,而是選取了他生活中的若干小片段進行插敘,以小片段撐起傳記的主干。此外,在篇幅上,全文寥寥數(shù)百字,語言極為精練。而其“大”又體現(xiàn)在:極小極短的篇幅卻具有很大的容量,集敘事、議論和曲折的抒情于一體。內(nèi)容渾厚,意味深長。
【教學(xué)目標】1.熟讀全文,掌握文中出現(xiàn)的重要的實詞、虛詞、古漢語句式;2.鑒賞本文融情于事的表達和形象精粹的語言;3.深入體會文章凄切婉轉(zhuǎn)的陳情技巧。【教學(xué)重點】重要的古漢語語詞知識【教學(xué)難點】理解作者當時的處境和李密祖孫間真摯深厚的感情【教學(xué)方法】作為教讀課,選擇串講的方式,突出朗讀,以期能做到既落實知識,又能體會文章之美。課時安排為兩課時。要重點做好預(yù)習(xí)工作?!窘虒W(xué)步驟】一、以蘇軾的評論導(dǎo)入讀《出師表》不下淚者,其人必不忠;讀《陳情表》不下淚者,其人必不孝;讀《祭十二郎文》不下淚者,其人必不友二、預(yù)習(xí)檢測1、下列紅色字注音完全正確的一項()A、臣以險釁(xìn)夙遭閔(mǐn)兇終鮮(xiǎn)兄弟常在床蓐(rù)B、猥(wěi)以微賤責(zé)臣逋(bǔ)慢猶蒙衿(jīn)育寵命優(yōu)渥(wò)C、豈敢盤桓(huán)有所希冀(yì)日?。╞ó)西山除臣洗(xiǎn)馬D、逮(dǎi)奉圣朝過蒙拔擢(zhuó)門衰祚(zuò)薄更(gēng)相為命分析:B責(zé)臣逋(bū)慢,C有所希冀(jì),D逮(dài)奉圣朝。
采用明段意分段法:先逐段概括段意,然后用合并同類項法把相關(guān)聯(lián)緊縮密的自然段合在一起。全文五個自然段中,二、三、四自然段講的都是張衡取得的科學(xué)成就,自然應(yīng)合為一大段。這樣,就理清了文章的結(jié)構(gòu)。全文可分為三個部分:(1)寫張衡的品格和文才①(2)寫張衡在科學(xué)技術(shù)上取得的成就(②③④)(3)寫張衡的政治才干(⑤)第二部分是文章的重點,又可分為兩層:一是仕途情況,以及制作渾天儀和著《靈憲》、《算圖論》的情況;一是專門介紹候風(fēng)地支儀。顯然,后者又是第二部分的重點。作者這樣處理文章的詳略安排。無疑是非常正確的,因為張衡一生有多方面的才能和成就,而他在科技方面的才能和創(chuàng)造發(fā)明最為突出,理應(yīng)成為本文記敘的重點。四、小結(jié)1.了解全文的內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu),掌握明段意分段法。2.了解文章的詳略安排。五、作業(yè)
(一)上片:描寫杭州的自然風(fēng)光和都市的繁華“東南形勝,三吳都會,錢塘自古繁華”,“東南形勝”,是從地理條件、自然條件著筆寫的。杭州地處東南,地理位置很重要,風(fēng)景很優(yōu)美,故曰:“形勝”?!叭齾嵌紩保菑纳鐣l件著筆寫的。它是三吳地區(qū)的重要都市,那里人眾薈萃,財貨聚集,故曰:“都會”?!板X塘自古繁華”,這一句是對前兩句的總結(jié),因為杭州具有這些特殊條件,所以“自古繁華”。下面就對“形勝”、“都會”和“自古繁華”進行鋪敘?!盁熈嫎?,風(fēng)簾翠幕,參差十萬人家”是對“三吳都會”的展開描寫。“云樹繞堤沙。怒濤卷霜雪,天塹無涯”是對“東南形勝”的展開描寫。這里選擇了錢塘江岸和江潮兩種景物來寫。“市列珠璣,戶盈羅綺,競豪奢”是對“錢塘自古繁華”的展開描寫。描寫了兩個方面:一是商業(yè)貿(mào)易情況——“市列珠璣”,只用市場上的珍寶,代表了商業(yè)的豐富、商業(yè)的繁榮;二是衣著情況——“戶盈羅綺”,家家披羅著錦?!案偤郎荨?,又總括杭州的種種繁華景象。
一、作者簡介:威廉·莎士比亞(1564~1616),英國文藝復(fù)興時期偉大的戲劇家和詩人。(人文主義:歐洲文藝復(fù)興時期新興資產(chǎn)階級反封建的社會思潮。資產(chǎn)階級人道主義的最初形式。它肯定人性和人的價值,要求享受人世的歡樂,要求人的個性解放和自由平等,推崇人的感性經(jīng)驗和理性思維。)一生共寫有37部戲劇,154首14行詩,兩首長詩和許多其他詩歌。主要代表作有早期的歷史劇、喜劇———《亨利四世》、《仲夏夜之夢》、《威尼斯商人》和《羅密歐與朱麗葉》等;中期的悲劇———《哈姆萊特》、《奧瑟羅》、《李爾王》和《麥克白》等;后期的傳奇劇———《暴風(fēng)雨》等。二、莎士比亞創(chuàng)作《哈姆萊特》的社會背景:莎士比亞是歐洲文藝復(fù)興時期英國偉大的戲劇家和詩人。他生活在歐洲歷史上封建制度日趨沒落、資本主義興起的交替時代。哈姆萊特是丹麥古代的王子。莎士比亞故意以超越時代的誤差將哈姆萊特搬到伊麗莎白統(tǒng)治未年的英國現(xiàn)實中來。
另一方面,文化素質(zhì)影響公民政治權(quán)利的行使。隨著民主和法制建設(shè)的發(fā)展,人們?yōu)榱藚⑴c政治生活,需要更高的文化素養(yǎng)。文化水平提高了,人們受到的教育、接受的信息就越多,活動的領(lǐng)域就越廣,民主法制和權(quán)利意識就越強,這些都會影響人們的民主素質(zhì)和民主水平,使人們更好地進行政治參與,行使民主權(quán)利。(2)文化與國際政治相互交融,成為當代國際政治斗爭的重要內(nèi)容。隨著世界多極化的發(fā)展,奉行霸權(quán)主義的國家,借助文化滲透的方式,竭力推銷自己的價值觀念,企圖削弱和取代別國的民族文化,以推行強權(quán)政治。這使世界范圍內(nèi)反對文化霸權(quán)主義的斗爭,成為當代國際政治斗爭的重要內(nèi)容。文化已經(jīng)成為進行政治斗爭、國際斗爭的重要形式之一。對文化市場的爭奪不僅僅是爭奪票房價值、爭奪經(jīng)濟效益,更主要的是對受眾對象的爭奪,對受眾注意力這種特殊的稀缺資源的占有,以及在此基礎(chǔ)上對輿論的控制與引導(dǎo)。因此,失去文化市場就意味著失去政治優(yōu)勢,意味著政治影響力的邊緣化乃至萎縮或喪失。這一點,從目前世界正在進行的空前規(guī)模的“文化戰(zhàn)爭”,可以看得非常清楚。
