I often hear some middle school students say, "I'm afraid of writing. When I start writing, I have a headache. I always feel that I have nothing to write. " Some simply said, "I really don't know what to do.
What to write and where to start. "Some students handed in their compositions. If they look at them carefully, they will end up in a hurry if they are perfunctory at first. content
Vague, vague, don't know what to say. In view of these circumstances, I often encourage students to write with pens. If you can talk, you can write. If you want to say something,
Pay attention to the people and things around you and avoid building cars behind closed doors. Because of the lack of observation and analysis of the surrounding things and the lack of material in my mind, I feel that I have nothing to say and can't write.
what
Is it observation? The so-called observation is to see with your eyes. You should "observe from a distance" and "observe from a distance", pay attention to everything, always pay attention to it, and form a habit.
Mo Bosang, a French writer who is known as the king of short stories in the world, studied under Flaubert, a famous writer at that time. One day, he sat in the room and made it accurate.
Tell Flaubert a story written as a novel. Flaubert said, "I advise you not to be busy writing these empty things." You ride a bike outside every day. "
Turn around and record everything you see on the road accurately and carefully. "So Mo Bosang realized that Flaubert had taught him to see with his eyes first.
Look at life, understand life, and practice the basic skills of observation. From then on, he spent a year or so, went out to observe every day, and finally wrote the novel Point.
Heart ",and become a world-famous novelist. Later, Mo Bosang summed up his creative experience and said, "It takes a long time to express what you want.
Pay great attention to it, so as to find the features that others have not found and written. Everything has something undiscovered ... "Lou.
Xun once said, "Pay attention to everything, read more, and write without seeing anything." This is a summary of Lu Xun's long-term creative experience. Therefore, it is necessary
If you want to write a good article, you must pay attention to observing things and improve your observation ability. But how can we attract students' attention to the things around them? Here I want to talk about two points:
Stimulate students' interest in observation
Psychologists realize that
Therefore, there is no learning without motivation, and motivation is the premise of learning. For composition teaching, teachers should be good at stimulating.
Students' writing desire stimulates their writing enthusiasm and turns passivity into initiative. High school students already have a strong ability to distinguish right from wrong, and they often do.
Strong desire to express. Teachers should firmly grasp this desire and guide them to write excellent articles.
The syllabus clearly stipulates the composition teaching of each grade, which requires a planned and step-by-step approach.
Suddenly implemented in the classroom. Writing in class needs to be specific, and students are constrained by various aspects, which often seems passive, but it is also essential. Therefore, I always carry it with me in composition teaching.
A "two-pronged" approach: on the one hand, arrange necessary compositions in class, on the other hand, arrange a certain amount of extracurricular writing exercises. For example, I accepted this position last year.
In addition to two or one big composition, I require each student to write at least one short essay every week, make a spot check every other week, and make comments.
Writing is to give students full freedom;
Free material selection, free proposition, free style, free words. Write only what you know best.
The person or thing that interests you the most and impresses you the most. They can be discussed, lyrical, narrative and arbitrary. Not too many words. Dozens of them bit by bit.
The number of words is not small: long words, short words, enjoyable writing, stop at will. This unconsciously cultivates students' interest and ability to observe things.
The content they wrote was relatively simple at first, and gradually, their observation horizons expanded, so they stayed away from the little things around them to write, write about society and write about life.
More and more rich: class life and turmoil, family happiness and sadness, social knowledge, etc., really big to the universe, small to the self, all into the pen.
A student often observes the campus carefully, from scenery to people, from people to things, and writes one, two or three articles on campus life in succession ... In the article, I
Seeing students' writing desire, they also have their interest in observation inspired by their creative enthusiasm. They not only have something to write, but also are more real and closer to life.
Live. Over the past year or so, remarkable results have been achieved. Many students talked about their writing experience and agreed that the requirement of writing prompted them to observe and walk.
Thinking. Someone said, "I must keep my eyes open every day and look for it in my life." Others said, "Because I have to write a composition, whether at home or in the car.
At school, I have been observing and listening ... "All the students in the two classes have completed the task of three articles a week assigned by me, and by
Because of their interest in things around them, many people consciously write more and develop the habit of keeping a diary.
At the same time, in the classroom composition teaching, I also consciously stimulate students' interest in observation. For example, I assign a composition.
The article "Remember the most familiar classmate in this class" requires everyone to take a classmate in the class as the description object, grasp its appearance characteristics to describe and portray, and see who observes carefully and writes well.
For example, most students can grasp the characteristics of characters in residence writing. For example, after Making Cloisonne, I arranged another one.
The composition "Making ×× Dishes" aroused students' interest in observation. Thus arousing students' interest and inspiring their creative enthusiasm.
In short, in order for students to write good articles, we must first practice the basic skills of observation.
Methods of guiding students' observation
While stimulating students' interest in observation, we should also guide students how to observe and how to observe.
I
I once told a story to my students: a jeweler in ancient Persia was good at doing business. When he sells gold, silver and jewels, he often pays attention to his customers.
As a result, business is very prosperous. Others wanted to explore the mystery, but he kept his mouth shut until his death.
Give this trick: "look at each other's eyes, no, to be exact, look at each other's pupils and you won't lie." If the diamond ring shines,
If you dilate your opponent's pupil, you will boldly increase the original price by 30% or more; If a necklace can't make the other person's pupils wide open, you should change it immediately ... in short, keep an eye on the other person's pupils! "
Of course, the business class taught by this jeweler is not for us to learn, but this method of grasping the external expression of buyers and inferring their psychological changes is worth learning from.
exist
In observation, I pay attention to guiding students to grasp the essence and characteristics of things, not just "looking". Lu Xun, a famous modern literary star, deserves to be an excellent one.
An observer. Especially in observing characters, he is really insightful and meticulous. He once said, "You should paint a person's picture very frugally."
Features, it is best to draw his eyes. "Not long ago, when I was teaching his short story" Blessing ",I focused on Xianglinsao in the eyes of Lu Xun.
Three descriptions. When she first arrived in Lujia, she always followed her eyes and showed meekness and kindness. The second time I went to Lujia, I still "followed my eyes" but "in the corner of my eye"
With tears in her eyes, her eyes were not as energetic as before, indicating that she was greatly stimulated mentally and extremely sad; After becoming a beggar, Sister Xianglin
Sister-in-law is completely different from before: her face is "like a woodcut" and "only that eye can occasionally show that she is a living thing"
Explain that at this time, she is on the verge of death, mentally numb, and her heart is greatly devastated. Lu Xun just caught the eye of the protagonist Xianglinsao and compared it.
After that, I arranged a composition for students to observe and remember me through their own eyes.
A retired worker in our school, Lao Yuan. Although the worker retired several years ago, he has been responsible for sending and receiving newspapers. Every morning,
Send every letter to each class at 6: 30 on time, and send newspapers and magazines to each teaching and research group at 8: 00 in the morning. It never stops except Sunday.
Yes, some students focused on his "glasses"; Some people grasp the unstable posture of Lao Yuan because there is something wrong with his left leg. There are still some moments.
I'm going to make a fuss about his clothes. Thus, an ordinary and great ordinary person jumped out from every student's pen, from different sides and different angles.
In this way, students gradually learn to "observe" all kinds of things around them, not just "look".
Of course, while emphasizing that students should pay attention to observation, they should also be guided to use correct and healthy thinking.
I want to observe. For example, some students see all kinds of corruption and unhealthy tendencies in our social reality, and think that linking reality with writing is to expose the dark side and make them complain.
This is actually a misunderstanding. My students and I have analyzed that there are indeed ignorance, backwardness, intrigue, frustration and failure in life, and these things are unacceptable.
No, but we must pay attention: what is the mainstream of our life? From your birth to becoming a high school student in a key middle school, you have to bear it.
Is it sunny or rainy, or is it stormy? Are there many positive factors or negative factors around you? Besides, what about unhealthy trends in life?
Today's people hate it and should expose and lash it, but we can't lose confidence in life and let ugly things occupy our hearts.
We should make our life full of sunshine everywhere. After my guidance, many students realized that what they wrote through observation was true and heartfelt; On the other hand, it should be healthy and positive.
Because I pay attention to cultivating students' observation ability, many students' composition level has gradually improved, especially many good compositions that express their true feelings.
Work. A student wrote an essay "Beaten" about a neighbor, a young man who failed in the college entrance examination and was famous on the list. This young man
Last year, he dropped out of the list because of the difference of two points. Looking at his father's "rickety body", his mother's "wrinkled face" and his little brother in Grade Two, he didn't.
I have a mind to review again. Although my father said he wanted to borrow money, he went to the south with a bitter heart and a pile of college entrance examination review materials.
It worked. This year, he worked during the day and studied hard under the account at night. A year passed quickly, and he came back to take part in this year's college entrance examination.
As a result, the notice from the Provincial Institute of Finance and Trade came. The student wrote: "He left again, but this time the whole village saw him off. He watched it again when the train started. "
Facing his father's rickety body, his mother's wrinkled face and his eyes blurred ... "What a touching scene, how real.
Camera! Later, I asked the student if what he wrote was true. He said, "I saw it with my own eyes. This young man is a cousin of mine. Send him.
That day, I deliberately asked for leave to go home and say goodbye to him. What I wrote is true. I just want to write down what I saw. "
Yes, as long as we pay attention, many things in daily life will make us
Found something. Isn't it? It is normal for apples to fall to the ground, but Newton discovered the law of gravity from it and opened a new era of science. It is common for kettle to boil, but Watt invented steam.
The steam turbine led to an industrial revolution. As Chekhov once said to a young author, "Look at this wall, it seems that it is not even interesting."
No, but if you look carefully, you will find something in it, something that others haven't noticed before, and then you can write.
Down ... "That is to say, we should observe and think, observe with our own eyes and think with our own heads.
Pay attention to the daily things around you, which will enable you to gain knowledge and discover the true meaning of life.
