2. Students can read freely, summarize the content of the text with the three elements of the novel, and talk about your feelings about reading the text.
Students answer and teachers summarize:
The novel tells the story of Du Xiaokang's suffering, maturity and strength in a difficult environment.
(1): Du Xiaokang faces an unfamiliar natural environment in his novels. The psychological process from panic, loneliness to strength reflects human strength: people overcome difficulties, overcome difficulties and win; And make yourself mature and strong in the struggle.
(2): The text tells us that in addition to overcoming nature, it is more important for people to overcome themselves.
This novel inspires us that teenagers should face difficulties instead of running away from them. Finally won the victory, there will be a sense of pride and growth.
Health (4): It is a kind of life desire and pursuit of people from naivety to maturity. Difficulties and setbacks are often catalysts for people's growth, which make people mature and forge ahead.
3. The students silently read the paragraph about Du Xiaokang in the text, appreciate the detailed description, and think:
(1) How did his psychological activities develop during his life of driving ducks away from home to complete his "lonely journey"?
(2) Please find out the words and expressions that embody "loneliness" in the text, and appreciate the expression effect.
(3) What does "loneliness" mean to a well-off child in Du Like?
The students answered, and the teacher instructed:
(1) psychological activity development: ① I want to go to school (I'm not going to duck, I want to go ashore and go home ...). Now, all he can think about is the front: How far do you have to go? ..... unknown ahead. He was afraid ... there was a child's timidity in his eyes. The biggest enemy ... is loneliness. ⑤ Began to miss home, getting more and more anxious every day ... crying ... ⑤ They knew in their hearts that they could not avoid loneliness ... they suddenly stopped panicking. ⑦ Du Xiaokang shook his head: "Let's look for it separately." Say that. He left again. He began to cry, but he was not sad. Looking at the sky in a foreign land ... but he didn't cry. He felt that he had suddenly grown up and become strong. Attending was surprised to find that the duck laid eggs. Du Xiaokang, in his life as a duck farmer, experienced the loss and fear at the time of departure, the fear and timidity at the time of wandering, the loneliness after settling down, and the sudden panic after a long time. After the rain, it suddenly grew up and became strong, and he experienced a "lonely journey".
(2) such as "strange days and strange waters" have never met. The world is so empty without other sounds, loneliness, no family, only the smoke in the kitchen and I want to hear voices, Niu Jiao or dogs barking. However, this is impossible. The biggest enemy is approaching them step by step: loneliness. I haven't met anyone for more than ten days. Words are basically omitted. This omission can only further strengthen the sense of loneliness that seems to pervade the world. They can't avoid loneliness. Loneliness away from home, loneliness away from mother and partner, loneliness in a vast and open environment. His inner pain, confusion and struggle are vividly shown in the article.
(3) It can be summarized as two points: ① Du Xiaokang had to drop out of school because of his poor family. Leaving classmates and school is extremely painful and lonely for a teenager. Losing a partner who grew up together is equivalent to losing friends and dependence on the road to growth. Not only that, leaving friends is equivalent to losing a childlike life.
Du Xiaokang followed his father to feed the ducks, leaving the village and the crowd, which is equivalent to losing the human environment. Without interpersonal communication, we will lose emotional, cultural and material communication, and we will feel pain and even mental torture. A seemingly tacit "omission" between father and son in duck life is actually a manifestation of emptiness and poverty.
Du Xiaokang and his father left home to feed ducks and came to "strange days and strange water" and felt a kind of fear. This fear is manifested in two aspects: one is the fear of the natural environment. "The ship is surrounded by mountains." "Du Xiaokang has a feeling that he will never escape." "There is a childlike timidity in his eyes." The vastness and unknowns of nature have a strong oppression on a young mind, and the psychological panic caused by it makes Du Xiaokang "unable to sleep"; The second is the fear of the future. On the way to release the ducks, Du Xiaokang thought: How far should we go? What's ahead? This is not only for the duck, but also represents his confusion and helplessness for the future.
Fourth, taste sentences.
1, the students read the full text carefully and realized the exquisiteness and vividness of the language. Please find the sentences that you think are vivid and meaningful in the text and comment on them.
The students spoke enthusiastically, and the teacher concluded:
(1) "Reed rushes to the horizon like a green wave": Write about the vastness of reeds. "Green Wave" not only shows its color, but also shows its movement and vitality, making the landscape lifelike.
(2) "Reed swaying like a thousand mountains around the boat": The deeper the reed swaying, the more lush it is, and the more it highlights the loneliness of the boat, and the more realistic Du Xiaokang's "feeling of eternal doom" is.
(3) Write a "morning" about the storm. It's getting dark ...... "The click of thousands of miles of reeds broken by the wind": The scenery seems to be in front of you, making people feel there, showing the violent trend of the storm incisively and vividly.
(4) The section "Ducks form an inverted fan in front of the ship". The scenery description is accurate and meticulous.
(5) "Du Xiaokang smelled a feather on the duck. He tilted his head and almost buried his face in the fluffy feathers of the duck. He began to cry, but he was not sad. He said he didn't understand why he was crying. "Young Du Xiaokang overcame loneliness and adapted to the environment. When the ducks who support their families are facing extinction, they are injured and bleeding regardless of hardships and fatigue, showing the strength, perseverance and sense of responsibility of a little man. He grew up and became mature and strong. He realized this, and his heart was choppy. These are tears of joy. Tears of relief, tears of understanding the true meaning of growth.
(6) The vivid image of "the duck grows up" reflects the growth process of the protagonist and has metaphorical significance beyond the language level.
2. The description of the natural environment in this paper is excellent, which provides a broad background for the growth of characters. Please find out several places and realize the important role of such description in expressing Du Xiaokang's growth.
Students speak and teachers summarize:
(1) Description of the duck. Ducks March towards reeds and occasionally "scream at the sky", which sets off Du Xiaokang's extremely lonely mood. At night, the ducks "surround the master's boat". Always see if the master is on the boat before you can sleep peacefully. The fear of ducks sets off Du Xiaokang's panic. It can be said that ducks are the help of Du Xiaokang's growth.
(2) Description of Lu Dang. Ludang is "like a green wave rushing to the horizon", which is boundless and gives people great psychological pressure. Let Du Xiaokang be "afraid" and "timid". When Du Xiaokang got used to the lonely life, he "faced the mighty reed again" and stopped "panicking". Fear is just a reflection of psychology. Lu Dang witnessed the psychological changes of the characters.
(3) description of wind and rain. The storm in Ludang is extremely terrible, such as thunder, like ten thousand chariots rolling from the horizon, stormy, hysterical and dark, as if the end of the world had arrived. The storm washed away the duck pen. Scared the ducks. Du Xiaokang showed the courage and strength of an adult, fighting in the wind and rain. The storm gave him the opportunity and stage to grow up.
3. Cooperative exploration:
The protagonist of the novel is Du Xiaokang, but what is the author's intention to write more about his father and duck?
The students discussed in groups and answered, and the teacher explained:
Father duck writing plays an indispensable role in shaping Du Xiaokang's image. For example, I wrote that my father tried his best to drive ducks, "refusing to give them the possibility of foraging or frolicking." It seems that if he slows down a little, he will suddenly feel confused and afraid of the front like his son, which will also make him give up the idea of leaving Yau Ma Tei. ""Dad is obviously flustered. But he must be calm in front of his son. Ducks are very clever. They put their mouths in their wings and never let their owners worry about sleeping. As an adult, my father, who has experienced vicissitudes, is deeply puzzled and afraid of the future, not to mention Du Xiaokang, a little boy. As an inferior animal, ducks will still feel lonely and afraid when they leave the familiar environment, not to mention Du Xiaokang as a human being. Therefore, their descriptions make Du Xiaokang's lonely feelings more real and help us better understand the inner world of the little hero.
Fifth, broaden your experience.
Students cooperate to exchange the following questions, connect with real life and expand Chinese learning.
1, difficulties and setbacks are often catalysts for life growth. Combined with the understanding of the theme of the text. Talk about your understanding of this.
2. Tell me the lonely scenes and psychological feelings you have experienced.
3. Talk about your understanding and views on Du Xiaokang's father's parenting style.
Sixth, the class summary
There are successes, setbacks, joys and sorrows in growth. This is life. In our life, growth is an eternal theme. I hope all our classmates can write a healthy growing song. Grow into a strong and independent tree.
