Bacon's "On Misfortune" and Zhou Guoping's "Confronting Suffering" belong to the same section: "Dignity in Suffering". Both articles are philosophical prose and are not long, but it is difficult to understand the philosophy contained in the article. . The design of this lesson is based on the integration of the two texts, allowing students to independently discuss the learning materials, with the purpose of improving their ability to discuss problems and deepening their understanding of suffering. Therefore, when designing, students first select aphorisms that reflect the author's views as a breakthrough in order to understand the connotation of each article; then students compare the similarities and differences between the two articles; after thoroughly understanding the profound philosophical thoughts of the two articles, students expand Go ahead and associate with concrete stories of facing suffering, and comprehend the beauty of humanity shown by many heroes or mortals when facing different tragedies; finally, use pen practice to formulate the understanding of suffering into words, and turn it into an inscription. The format is treasured in one's heart and turned into a kind of personality power.

The following is the teaching process of a lesson.

Teacher: Life is short and unpredictable. It is difficult for us to imagine the world of Helen Keller and what a long dark night it was; it is difficult for us to glimpse Beethoven’s initial state of mind when he was deprived of the right to listen! Bound by illness Without Hawking's body, the universe is filled with the wise thoughts of this scientific giant; mental retardation hinders Zhouzhou's development, but smart notes are floating in the kingdom of music. Suffering has extraordinary significance, and life has the dignity of rising. Today, let us enter the philosophical prose "On Misfortune" and "Facing Suffering" by Bacon and Zhou Guoping to deeply understand the dignity in suffering.

Teacher: The writing topic on the blackboard is "Dignity in Suffering" "On Misfortune" and "Facing Suffering". The words "misfortune" and "suffering" in the title are pointed out. It means that life is not smooth sailing, but what you will encounter from time to time. ?

Sheng: Qi replied? Adversity?.

Teacher: Demonstrate learning goals: 1. Taste concise language and experience profound philosophy

2. Improve reading ability of comparative analysis

3. Cultivate The Correct Attitude in Facing Adversity

Teacher: Read quickly (2 minutes) and underline the famous aphorisms in "On Misfortune" that best reflect the author's views.

(Slideshow)

Student 1: Good luck is enviable, but overcoming bad luck is even more amazing.

The virtue required by luck is temperance, while the virtue required by misfortune is perseverance. The latter is more valuable than the former.

Student 2: The most beautiful embroidery is when bright flowers are set against a dark background, but not when dark flowers are set against a bright background.

Human virtue is like precious spices, which emit the strongest fragrance when burned by fire.

I like these two sentences. They not only say that a happy life comes from the virtue of perseverance inspired by misfortune, but also demonstrate the author's literary talent in the form of metaphor.

Teacher: Advice? These two sentences are indeed well written, but are they the famous sentences that best reflect the author’s point of view?

Student 3: No. It is too vivid, especially the first sentence, which does not mention the words "misfortune" or "virtue" at all. It can reflect the author's point of view, but it is not the best representation.

Health 4: Miracles beyond nature always appear in the conquest of misfortune.

A true great man is a mortal who is as fearless as a god.

Student 5: The most beautiful qualities are also shown in bad luck.

Teacher: Guidance? This student is very good at finding it. This sentence is at the last sentence of this article. It must be a key sentence to conclude the article.

Teacher: Guidance summary? Students have found everything. Through the sentences you just found, let’s think about it, what attitude does Bacon want us to face suffering?

Student 6: Be fearless, overcome bravely, and persevere.

Teacher: Very good. Write the three words above on the blackboard.

Teacher: Read quickly (3 minutes) and think about the three views on suffering expressed by the author in "Facing Suffering". (Slide show)

Student 7: ① In the face of social tragedy, ideals, beliefs, sense of justice, and sense of nobility support us. We believe that we are spiritually superior to those who persecute and even destroy us. evil forces, so we can suffer with a smile and die generously.

② Non-heroic courage is our truest courage.

③In the hopeless despair, we gritted our teeth and held on. We stood there with no audience, no witnesses, no expectations, no reinforcements. We do not fall simply because we refuse to let ourselves fall. In this way, we have maintained the highest and final dignity of human beings? The dignity of human beings in front of nature.

Teacher: Guidance? Based on the writing style, is the sentence 1 the topic that the author wants to talk about?

Student: (all answers) No.

Teacher: This student’s ②③ sentences all contain the author’s point of view, and they are quite accurate. But can the author's point of view be fully expressed using the original text? Are there any repetitions in the meanings of these two sentences?

Student 8: It cannot be fully expressed, and the meanings are repeated. In fact, combining the two sentences is a complete one. Meaning: In the face of natural suffering, we should stand up with the truest courage and not fall down, so as to maintain human dignity in front of nature.

Teacher: This has found a point of view.

What about the other two? Everyone needs to find the key positions.

Health 9: Suffering has blunted so many sensitive hearts, and tragedy has destroyed so many frustrated heroes.

Human beings are born weak, but only when they are weak but can still bear the suffering can they show their dignity.

Teacher: From this point of view, what is the purpose of "Facing Suffering"?

Student 10: People should stand firm in the face of natural tragedies and maintain their own rights in front of nature. Dignity, this kind of strength is the strength to overcome weakness and stand up, but don't blindly beautify suffering, it also has a negative effect.

Teacher: The students have done a good job of figuring out the aphorisms of the two texts. In order to have a more thorough understanding of the philosophies of the two texts, students are now asked to take 5 minutes to read aloud the famous sentences just mentioned and recite 3 of them.

Students: Read aloud and recite aphorisms.

Teacher: Group discussion (8 minutes) to solve the following three questions. (Slideshow)

1. What are the similarities between the views of the two texts?

2. What are the differences in the emphases of the exposition?

< p> 3. Look for stories of facing suffering that you have experienced, seen, and heard from three aspects: natural tragedy, social tragedy, and your own disability.

Students: Discuss issues enthusiastically in the group and be brave enough to communicate about yourself in the group view.

Student 11: ***Same place: They both talked about the inevitability of misfortune, both emphasized the positive attitude toward misfortune, and both affirmed the positive role of misfortune.

Student 12: Difference: Bacon emphasized the heroic suffering of being fearless like God; Zhou Guoping advocated the suffering of ordinary people and believed that those who face suffering have a weak nature. Ordinary people face the ordinary sufferings in life.

Student 13: Bacon only admitted that suffering has a positive significance, but Zhou Guoping believed that we should not over exaggerate the positive role of suffering and beautify suffering, because it has both positive and negative effects, and can blunt sensitive people. The soul can destroy the frustrated hero.

Teacher: Writing on the blackboard? Don’t glorify ordinary suffering.

Teacher: The students have quite accurately grasped the similarities and differences between the two texts. What specific stories can you think of?

Student 14: Helen. Although Keller was deaf and mute, he was able to actively face his own darkness and silent world, and eventually became a world-renowned writer and educator; Shi Tiesheng suddenly lost his legs in his best years. , but he was finally able to think clearly about the relationship between life and death, no longer resented his disability, and finally wrote outstanding articles such as "Me and the Temple of Earth"; Roosevelt was able to have the world in mind while being physically restrained, and finally Become a giant.

Student 15: Similar situations include Han Fei, Sun Bin, Hawking, Zhukov and others.

Teacher: These are all typical examples of rising up in adversity. The students have a very broad vision. Can you change the angle and talk about facing suffering from a natural or social tragedy?

Student 16: During the tsunami in 2004, the 13-year-old Ghosh family lived in Andaman, India. On Kacher Island in the Nicobar Islands, he and his family escaped by hiding on a nearby hill. Surrounded by sea water, 13-year-old Ghosh did not want to wait for death, so he wrote unsendable letters to his uncle until he was rescued. This tenacious will to survive is the foundation for human beings to survive disasters and reproduce to this day.

During the SARS epidemic in 2003, many medical staff like Ye Xin did not shrink from the threat to their lives, but fought bravely on the front line of the fight against SARS.

Student 17: During the tsunami, Jet Li, the kung fu star who had been a national martial arts champion for several times and had unparalleled martial arts skills, was also trapped in the tsunami. Those who were in trouble with him were his wife Li Zhi and two daughter.

?At that moment, I also thought about abandoning my family and escaping alone!? At a donation meeting afterwards, Jet Li told people. When the tsunami arrived, he immediately picked up his daughter and ran back with the nanny, but within a few steps the seawater surged up and flooded his neck. At that time, he was holding on to his daughter and holding on to the nanny. He was faced with the most difficult decision in his life: whether to let go and abandon his family, or to persevere. In the end, he chose to escape with his family.

Jet Li lamented: Even if he is good at martial arts, he is powerless in the face of the catastrophe of nature!

Of course Jet Li will be cowardly. But what I don’t understand is: Why did Jet Li tell the public that he had been cowardly? At that moment on that remote beach, there were neither witnesses nor paparazzi. What he thought or even did, he didn’t say it himself afterwards. What do you mean? Mighty, capable of conquering nature, sacrificing himself to save others, and turning the tide! He can completely interpret the heroes in the movies into heroes in real life, which will increase his popularity even more. Aren't there many heroes and stars who do this in life? That star who was once at the top of his game, even though he has been married for many years and his children are in school, still refuses to admit it, saying that he is afraid of ruining his image in the hearts of his fans... .

At that donation meeting, Jet Li donated 1 million yuan, which moved my heart; at that donation meeting, Jet Li said that he had been cowardly, and my heart was moved.

Teacher: This story is very typical. As a hero in our minds, he also has the weaknesses of ordinary people, but he can still bear the suffering in his weakness. This fully reflects the dignity of man in front of nature. .

Student 18: The current war in Iraq is a social tragedy. It is very destructive, but the strong and brave Iraqi people have not been intimidated by the big stick policy of the United States.

Student 19: I think of the text we learned "A Person's Experience". An ordinary soldier whose family and relatives were destroyed by the war, but he did not lose the courage to live and adopted another child. Orphans of the war, in order for their adopted children to grow up smoothly, they looked for ways to survive.

Teacher: It seems that the students have a very deep understanding of the motto of the text, otherwise they would not have such rich associations. Let's read aloud a classic movie excerpt:

The Melody of Life is excerpted from "Titanic"

On the deck, the band played seriously. People moved back and forth around them, fleeing for their lives, but they continued their occupation meticulously. When the last note flew over Werner's strings, he finally took the violin with satisfaction: "Okay, it's over." Goodbye, Harry. Good luck. ?

?Goodbye, Werner. ?goodbye. ?

The musicians said goodbye to each other, just like at the end of a concert in a concert hall.

After Werner waited for the people to leave, he raised his violin again, and a melodious movement floated in the night sky shrouded in death again?

The sound of the piano blended into the It is an emotion of desire for life, pursuit of beauty, and hope for the future. It brings a touch of comfort to those panicked, sad and desperate people with its passionate and progressive rhythm. At this time, the sound of the piano brings people not only the enjoyment of music, not only the peace before death, but also a review of life; a magnificent farewell feeling for a life with no guilt and no regrets.

The sound of the piano caught the footsteps of the musicians who were about to leave. They consciously gathered around and joined this movement of life again?

Teacher: What do you think, students? How do you feel about this detail?

Student 20: Facing natural tragedy, these violinists appear so calm and calm. This is the highest dignity of human beings in front of nature. In fact, there are many scenes of them in "Titanic", like the elderly couple lying peacefully on the bed, like Jack taking off his clothes very naturally to Rose, and comforting and encouraging him with great concern. It's really shocking that a small person in front of nature can act so great.

Teacher: What famous sayings about "suffering" can the students think of?

Student 21: No education can match adversity.

Adversity creates a ladder for excellence.

Life 22: When misfortune strikes, take it upon yourself. Don’t let it crush your body, let alone destroy your soul.

Remember: the more serious and difficult the situation, the more determined, positive and courageous it is to be passive, and the more harmful it is to be passive and inactive.

Student 23: Scars are past history. If you have the courage to toast to it, you will have the courage to get it drunk. When you are drunk, tomorrow will be endlessly happy.

Life is like a surging torrent. If it does not encounter a reef, how can it stir up beautiful waves?

Teacher: Based on the imagination just now and the famous sentences I remembered, please ask the students. Write a 50-word essay about your attitude towards "suffering" in 3 minutes.

Student: Organize your opinions and formulate the text, basically more than 50 words, and write it eloquently.

Teacher: Now ask two students to read their beautiful essays respectively.

Health 24: Those who help themselves in adversity will have a way to break out, and those who give up on themselves will have the world abandon them. Sing the songs of life with a smile, don’t complain that life has given you too many hardships, and don’t complain that there are too many twists and turns in life. If the sea loses the rolling waves, it will lose its majesty; if the desert loses the dancing of flying sand, it will lose its splendor; if life loses its hardships, life will lose its charm.

Teacher: This classmate is very talented. This kind of visual expression can touch our hearts even more.

Student 25: Failure should not be a cause of depression and loss of ambition, but should be a fresh stimulus. Believe that only things that cause pain can bring joy. Although suffering has left you riddled with holes, I believe that these memories are just like the flower branches in the thorn bushes, lingering into the corolla of time.

Teacher: The words of your classmates are so inspiring. I believe they will become your spiritual support. I also wish you to overcome the ups and downs in your future life and walk out on a golden road.

Teacher: Now read aloud the famous quotes in the reading materials. Please recite four of them.

Students: Read the famous quotes aloud and recite them.

Teacher: Check the recitation of two students.

Student 26: Recite sentences 1, 2, 5, and 7 in the material.

Student 27: Recite sentences 2, 3, 5, and 8 in the material.

Teacher: Lesson summary: Dignity in suffering?: Facing natural or social sufferings, human beings must bravely overcome them, highlight their beautiful moral character in the process of overcoming, and maintain the highest dignity of human beings; we ordinary people We are weak, and it is precisely because we bear the suffering in weakness that we show our dignity.

Teacher: Assignment? 1. Write a couplet based on your attitude towards suffering and use it as a motto to motivate yourself.

2. Read the compulsory fifth reading "Three Realms of Life" by Wang Meng, and write a 200-word evaluation about adversity and prosperity.

Post-teaching reflection: The student activities in this class are quite sufficient, but some encouraging language should be cleverly designed to mobilize more students to participate, and the effect will be better.
