三、教師總結(jié):在那如火如荼的苦難歲月,梁任公的政治主張屢屢因時而變,但為人處世的原則始終未變,他不是馮自由等人所描述的那種變色龍。他重感情,輕名利,嚴(yán)于律己,坦誠待人。無論是做兒子、做丈夫、做學(xué)生,還是做父親、做師長、做同事,他都能營造一個磁場,亮出一道風(fēng)景。明鏡似水,善解人意是他的常態(tài),在某些關(guān)鍵時刻,則以大手筆寫實愛的海洋,讓海洋為寬容而定格,人間為之增色。我敢斷言,在風(fēng)云際會和星光燦爛的中國近代人才群體中,特別是在遐邇有知的重量級歷史人物中,能在做人的問題上與梁啟超比試者是不大容易找到的。四、課后作業(yè):找出文中細(xì)節(jié)及側(cè)面描寫的地方,想一想這樣寫有什么好處,總結(jié)本文的寫作特點。五、板書設(shè)計:梁任公演講特點:
“千載琵琶作胡語,分明怨恨曲中論。”“怨恨”兩字點明全篇主旨。千百年來,琵琶所演奏的總是從匈奴傳來的撩人愁思的胡樂,正是昭君在訴說著她的怨恨!這兩句從側(cè)面烘托昭君的形象,既有對她的贊揚(yáng),又有對她的同情。讀到這里,我們的耳邊好像又響起了那深沉、幽怨的琵琶聲!5、這首詩寫的是昭君的怨恨,但首聯(lián)一開始并沒有寫她的怨恨,寫的是什么?這樣寫的目的又是什么?明確:群山萬壑赴荊門山是群山起伏,連綿不絕;水是萬壑爭流,奔騰不息,直赴荊門山。其中的“赴”字用了擬人的手法,把迤邐不絕的千山萬壑陡然間寫活了,既有飛動之勢,又有變幻之姿。從側(cè)面烘托昭君的形象。兩千多年前,一個青年女子遠(yuǎn)離父母之邦,嫁到異域,并在那里度過一生,確實需要巨大的勇氣和毅力,而這雄偉的山川簡直就是她那堅強(qiáng)的性格的象征。6、佳句鑒賞(這首詩歌當(dāng)中,我認(rèn)為有兩句詩寫得非常美,我自己很喜歡,不知道有沒有同道中人?)
一、語文學(xué)習(xí)中學(xué)生自我評價能力的培養(yǎng)1.營造氛圍,培養(yǎng)學(xué)生自我評價的意識。學(xué)生自我評價能力是教師長期培養(yǎng)的結(jié)果,而保護(hù)學(xué)生自我評價的熱情,更是持續(xù)自我評價的保證。在我們的實際教育教學(xué)中,教師一直處于評價的絕對主體,很少去關(guān)注學(xué)生自我評價意識和能力的培養(yǎng),學(xué)生常常不理解:為什么要認(rèn)真聽講?為什么書寫要工整、為什么發(fā)言要積極?為什么老師、父母對考試分?jǐn)?shù)會有那么高的要求?當(dāng)前出現(xiàn)的學(xué)生許多諸如“離家出走”、“毒殺親人”等教育、行為、品德方面的問題,我想其中除了家長、教師的評價意識和評價藝術(shù)等原因之外,學(xué)生的自我評價意識的缺乏是根本的原因。所以我認(rèn)為,學(xué)生自我評價意識的培養(yǎng)刻不容緩。(1)熱情鼓勵,提供成功的心理體驗。在教學(xué)過程中,教師要善于發(fā)現(xiàn)、肯定學(xué)生自我評價的點滴進(jìn)步,對于他們每一點進(jìn)步都要真誠熱情地鼓勵。讓學(xué)生覺得我這么做,這么想是對的。讓學(xué)生在教師的鼓勵中體會到強(qiáng)烈的愛,感受到自己的進(jìn)步,增強(qiáng)自己的信心?!靶娜粼?,夢就在!”教師的熱情鼓勵是一種強(qiáng)大的催化劑,促使學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中樂于自我評價。
交談時雙方的空間距離也有一定講究。和朋友談話、和陌生人談話、和異性談話、招呼長者和上級,都需要有一個合適的距離。如果上級故意“縮減”與下級人員通常談話時的距離,那是表示對下級的關(guān)切。說話的時候需要一面想,一面說,為了控制說話的主動權(quán),免得被別人插人、打斷,人們可以使用“唔”“啊”之類的音節(jié),表示“話還沒有說完,你別著急”之類的意思??瞻滓脖硎疽馑?,在說唱藝術(shù)中,什么時候停頓,停多久,都有講究,以便使交際更有成效。這就是說,空間和時間的因素也在交際中得到了適當(dāng)?shù)倪\(yùn)用。所以,各種伴隨動作也是交際的工具。它們一般都是在語言的基礎(chǔ)上產(chǎn)生的。即使像“察顏觀色”這一類特定的交際方式,也必須有語言的交際為基礎(chǔ),預(yù)先有了一定的了解,對方才能領(lǐng)會。總之,在上述的種種交際工具當(dāng)中,身勢等伴隨動作是非語言的交際工具;旗語之類是建立在語言、文字基礎(chǔ)之上的輔助性交際工具;文字是建立在語言基礎(chǔ)之上的一種最重要的輔助交際工具;
一、教材1、新教材對高中語文閱讀教學(xué)的要求高中語文新大綱中明確規(guī)定,高中語文教學(xué)要讓學(xué)生“掌握語文學(xué)習(xí)的基本方法,養(yǎng)成自學(xué)語文的習(xí)慣”,“為繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)和終身發(fā)展打好基礎(chǔ)”,提出了“以閱讀教學(xué)為龍頭帶動整個語文教育是一個標(biāo)本兼治的通途”,以多種渠道培養(yǎng)良好的閱讀習(xí)慣,以閱讀帶動聽說寫能力的全面提高。2、教材分析這篇文章是從美國著名的心理學(xué)家、社會學(xué)家弗羅姆《愛的藝術(shù)》中節(jié)選出來的,《愛的藝術(shù)》這本書闡釋了愛并不是一種與人的成熟程度無關(guān)的感情,而是一個能力的問題,是一門通過訓(xùn)練自己的紀(jì)律、集中和耐心學(xué)到手的一門藝術(shù)。在這篇文章中,他從兒童成長的過程的角度闡述了父母之愛與孩童情感與心智成熟的關(guān)系,從心理學(xué)的角度闡述了愛作為一種改變社會的力量的心理基礎(chǔ)。全文10個小節(jié),闡述了一個嬰兒成長為一個“成熟的人”其心理結(jié)構(gòu)逐步變化的過程,并在最后指出,真正成熟的人應(yīng)該能夠綜合母愛與父愛,唯其如此,才能夠使自己真正成為一個健康而成熟的靈魂。
乾隆五十五年(公元1790年),在安徽一帶很有名氣的“三慶”徽戲班,來到北京演出?;諔蛟诒本┙?jīng)常和其他劇種同臺演出,注意吸收和借鑒他們的長處。尤其是與以唱二黃調(diào)和西皮調(diào)為主的漢戲的合演,逐漸形成了二黃與西皮的合流,形成了“徽漢合流”的局面,后來徽劇又吸收其他民間曲調(diào)的唱腔、劇目和表演方式,逐漸形成以“皮黃”為主要聲腔的京劇。到1840年左右,京劇的唱腔、念白、劇本和表演已經(jīng)成熟,尤其是出現(xiàn)了以演“京戲”為主的一批演員,他們不再以徽戲、漢戲為名,而以演“京戲”自居。從此,誕生了一個獨(dú)立的劇種──京劇。2、京劇的發(fā)展早期的京劇以迷人的唱腔、豐富的劇目、精彩的表演和京腔京味吸引了觀眾,使京城出現(xiàn)了京劇熱。同治、光緒年間,京劇已經(jīng)被京城市民承認(rèn),成為人們最喜愛的舞臺藝術(shù)。并涌現(xiàn)出著名的“同光十三絕”。
4、維新思想推動下的變法運(yùn)動雖然失敗了。但這是中國近代真正意義上的一次思想解放潮流,為什么?展開:維新派提倡西學(xué),興民權(quán),對封建專制制度和傳統(tǒng)觀念進(jìn)行了沖擊,促進(jìn)了中國人民的覺醒,為資產(chǎn)階級民主思想的傳播奠定了基礎(chǔ),具有思想解放的啟蒙作用。是一次救亡圖存的愛國運(yùn)動,也是一次發(fā)展資本主義的改革運(yùn)動;他們提倡資產(chǎn)階級新學(xué),批判封建主義舊學(xué),引導(dǎo)人們重新認(rèn)識世界,他們痛感民族危機(jī)的嚴(yán)重,號召人們奮起救國,謀求國家的獨(dú)立富強(qiáng);給古老的中國社會注入的活力是不可低估的,站在歷史長河的高度看,由傳統(tǒng)農(nóng)耕社會向近代工業(yè)社會轉(zhuǎn)變是一股不可抗拒的歷史潮流,盡管它在19世紀(jì)末的中國遭到了暫時挫折,但對清朝的封建專制統(tǒng)治卻是一次巨大的強(qiáng)烈的沖擊波,它留下的痕跡是永不磨滅的,是永遠(yuǎn)鼓舞與啟迪后人的。
思考:1)材料1、2反映了一個什么樣的嚴(yán)重問題?(饑餓和糧食問題)2)材料3中,中國農(nóng)民為什么那樣說?(鄧小平在全國實行的以家庭聯(lián)產(chǎn)承包責(zé)任制為主要形式的責(zé)任制調(diào)動了農(nóng)民生產(chǎn)的積極性,解放了農(nóng)村生產(chǎn)力,推動了農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)展;袁隆平的雜交水稻提高了水稻產(chǎn)量,增加了農(nóng)民的收入,解決了農(nóng)民的吃飯問題)3)據(jù)以上材料指出,袁隆平研究的交水稻有何重大意義?(雜交稻不僅解決了中國人的吃飯問題;而且其在世界范圍的推廣,也有助于解決世界性的饑餓問題)四、計算機(jī)技術(shù)與生物技術(shù)的發(fā)展1、20世紀(jì)50年代,我國開始了計算機(jī)的研制工作;2、1983年,我國成功研制出巨型計算機(jī)“銀河-Ⅰ號”,加速了國家信息化的發(fā)展;3、1965年,中國首次人工合成結(jié)晶牛胰島素(在世界上第一次用人工方法合成出具有生物活性的蛋白質(zhì)——結(jié)晶牛胰島素) 。4、積極參與人類基因的研究(唯一的發(fā)展中國家)。

The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them. 4. Students can have the international awareness about the festivals.1. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.2. Students can understand the past, the present situation of some festival around the world and why there are some changes about them.Step 1 Lead in---Small talkWhat festival do you like best ? Why ?I like the Spring Festivals because I can set off the fireworks, receive the lucky money and enjoy the Gala with my families.Step 2 Before reading---Pair workWhy do people celebrate different festivals ?The Spring Festivals is to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of spring and new life.The Mid-autumn Day is to celebrate the harvest and admire the moon.
The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.
Step 3 Analyzing article structureActivity 31. Teachers raise questions to guide students to analyze the chapter structure of this diary and think about how to describe the festival experience. (1)What should be included in the opening/body/closing paragraph(s)?(2)How did the writer arrange his/her ideas?(3)What kind of interesting details did the writer describe?(4)How did the writer describe his/her feelings/emotions during the event?2. Students read and compare the three sentence patterns in activity 2. Try to rewrite the first paragraph of the diary with these three sentence patterns. After that, students exchange corrections with their partners. Such as:●This was my first time spending three days experiencing the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and it was an enjoyable and exciting experience. ●I'll never forget my experience at the Naadam Festival because it was my first time to watch the exciting Mongolian games of horse racing, wrestling, and archery so closely. ●I'll always remember my first experience at the Naadam Festival in China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region because it was so amazing to spend three days witnessing a grand Mongolian ceremony. Step 4 Accumulation of statementsActivity 41. Ask the students to read the diary again. Look for sentences that express feelings and emotions, especially those with the -ing form and the past participle. Such as:● …h(huán)orse racing, wrestling, and archery, which are all so exciting to watch. ● some amazing performances● I was surprised to see…● I was a little worried about. . . ● feeling really tiredOther emotional statements:●I absolutely enjoyed the archery, too, but the horse races were my favourite part. ●I'm finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth it. ●He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent and cat hot pot. I can’t wait!2. In addition to the use of the -ing form and the past participle, the teacher should guide the students in the appreciation of these statements, ask them to memorize them, and encourage them to use them reasonably in writing practice.
The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.
Step 4 PracticeRead the conversation. Find out which words have been left out.Justin: Linlin, I’m going to Guizhou Province next month. I’m super excited! Any recommendations for places to visit?Linlin: Wow, cool! Guizhou is a province with a lot of cultural diversity. Places to visit...well, definitely the Huangguoshu Waterfall first.Justin: What’s special about the waterfall?Linlin: Well, have you ever heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West ?Justin: Yes, I have. Why ?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King.Justin: Really? Cool!

Why do you ask if I have heard of the Chinese novel Journey to the West?Linlin: In the back of the waterfall, you will find a cave, which is the home of the Monkey King from Journey to the West.Justin: That’s really true? It’s Cool! I’ll definitely check it out.Linlin:And I strongly recommend the ethnic minority villages on your trip to Guizhou Province. You’ll find Chinese culture is much more diverse than you thought it was.Justin:This all sounds great, thanks.
1. In Picture 1 and Picture 2, where do you think they are from? How do you know?From their wearings, we can know they are from ethnic minority of China--- Miao and Dong.Picture 1, they are playing their traditional instrument lusheng in their traditional costumes.Picture 2. the girls are Miao because they wear their traditional costumes and silver accessory.2. In Picture 3, can you find which village it is? What time is it in the picture?It is Dong village. It is at night. Step 2 While-listeningJustin met a new friend while traveling in Guizhou. Listen to their conversation and complete the summaries below.Part 1Justin and Wu Yue watched some Miao people play the lusheng. The instrument has a history of over 3,000 years and it is even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry. Then they watched the lusheng dance. Justin wanted to buy some hand-made silver/traditional accessories as souvenirs. He was told that the price will depend on the percentage of silver. Part 2They will go to a pretty Dong minority village called Zhaoxing. they will see the drum towers and the wind and rain bridges. They may also see a performance of the Grand Song of the Dong people.Step 3 Post-listening---TalkingWork in groups. Imagine Justin is telling some friends about his trip to Guizhou. One of you is Justin and the rest of you are his friends. Ask Justin questions about his trip and experience. The following expressions may help you.
Discuss these questions in groups.Q1: Have you ever been to a place that has a diverse culture ? What do you think about the culture diversity ?One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province. I went there last year with my family to see the Ice and Snow Festival, and I was amazed at how the culture as different to most other Chinese cities. There is a big Russian influence there, with beautiful Russian architecture and lots of interesting restaurants. I learnt that Harbin is called “the Oriental Moscow” and that many Russians settled there to help build the railway over 100 years ago.Q2: What are the benefits and challenges of cultural diversity ?The benefits: People are able to experience a wide variety of cultures, making their lives more interesting, and it can deepen the feelings for our national culture, it is also helpful for us to learn about other outstanding culture, which helps improve the ability to respect others. The challenges: People may have trouble communicating or understanding each other, and it may lead to disappearance of some civilizations and even make some people think “The western moon is rounder than his own.”Step 7 Post reading---RetellComplete the passage according to the text.Today, I arrived back in San Francisco, and it feels good (1) _____(be) back in the city again.
