teaching process
Students read famous sayings: the failure after tenacious struggle is as valuable as the easy victory!
Lead: Yes, both failure and success should be respected and should also be respected by people. However, for a long time, we can only keep the winner in our memory. Some people say that history is written for them, but it is not. For thousands of years, many "failed heroes" have emerged in various fields of human conquest of nature, and the British explorer Scott is one of them. Next, let's review that glorious history with the Austrian writer Zweig! (blackboard writing topic)
Before learning the new lesson, the teacher made a simple test on the students' preview. Now let's begin:
The first link-"breaking through the three customs"
Level 1: Can you understand it?
Drag (zhàI) crazy (diān)(kuáng) swallow (shi).
Weak (léi) cold (lǐn)(liè) line (lǐ)
Tell Xin (Qi) to nail off (xiāo)(shí) and (jué) one by one.
Level 2: Do you understand? (Multimedia display of Antarctic survey data)
What do you know about Antarctica?
Cold, snowy, inaccessible, desolate ...
Level 3: Did you think of it?
What do you think should be paid attention to during the Antarctic expedition?
(Food, routes, weather changes, hardy animals ...)
Congratulations on your success! Next, let's continue.
The second link-familiar with the text
Overall feeling:
Let's divide into two teams-"Eagle Team" and "Tiger Team". Which team is the most capable?
Skip the text and pay attention to the following three questions:
1. What was your first feeling after reading the text?
How great they are; Although they failed, they are real heroes; Although they are dead, their spirit shines forever; They are the most respectable people ...)
2. Retell the text (work alone or with several people to grasp the typical characters and typical environment).
(This paper mainly describes that Scott and his party have gone through difficulties and obstacles, and when they are about to reach the South Pole, they sadly find that their competitors have beat them to it and have to set foot on their way home in frustration. On the way home, they met with sudden bad weather, hungry and exhausted, and finally died miserably. )
3. What details do you think make you unforgettable? Tell everyone.
Oates committed suicide in the snowstorm in order not to drag down his companions; Dr. Wilson dragged 16 kg of gem samples under the condition of life insecurity; Navy Scott writes letters to relatives with frostbitten fingers ...)
Students judge the winning team and make simple comments.
Taste language and talk about experience.
Read aloud-read your favorite sentence.
Say-say why you like it.
In the process of reading the text just now, there must be many places that left a deep impression on you. Please pick up your pen, circle and sketch, find out the words or sentences that move you most, and talk about your experience.
For example:
Sheng: I was moved by the following sentence: Scott testified for Norwegian Amundsen; Scott was moved because he is honest and trustworthy, has a strong British gentleman demeanor, and can face success and failure calmly.
B: I was moved by the following sentence: Scott still held Wilson like a brother after his death; They are moved because they are United with each other and have a strong spirit of collectivism.

Optional research:
Everyone has a deep understanding just now. So, in the process of reading, what other questions do you not quite understand? Let's work it out in groups. If the group can't solve it, bring it up and discuss it together.
Ask-ask questions you don't understand.
Enlightenment-help solve problems
Cooperative investigation:
The title of the text is The Great Tragedy. As we all know, tragedy is a story with a tragic ending. Since it is a tragedy, why does it contain the word "great"? They paid such a heavy price, for what? Please consider the following three questions:
1. What are the tragedies of Scott's trip to Antarctica?
(The sorrow of failure, the sorrow of death, the sorrow of testimony, the sorrow of the world)
2. What are the aspects of greatness?
The spirit of being brave in exploration and dedication to the cause; The spirit of collectivism; Honest, trustworthy, love the motherland, love life, love others ...)
3. What is the significance of Scott's expedition?
Understand nature, challenge human self, realize the value of life, and inspire future generations with spirit.
Creative reading:
Everyone is quite capable today. Seeing that the students are in high spirits, we might as well get drunk and walk into the intelligence test palace together-creative reading.
Say which topic you are interested in (multi-angle, creative)
1. If you were a Norwegian explorer Amundsen and saw Scott and his party in the Antarctic through satellite TV, what would you do?
2. If you were the king of Norway and learned that Scott and his party were killed, what would you like to say most? What do you want to do most?
If you were a writer, who would you write a biography for?
Yes, although a person destroyed himself in the struggle against invincible bad luck, his heart became extremely noble because of it. All this is the greatest tragedy in history.
So, what do you think of the defeated Scott and the victorious Amundsen?
great
Scott (failure)
Amundsen (Victory)
Although Scott failed in the field of exploration, his spirit of scientific exploration and patriotism is not only the pride of the British, but also the pride of all mankind, and people are proud of it. Although he died of exploration, his spirit of exploration will live in our hearts forever.
Pick up shells on the beach;
Talk about the "great tragedy" people or events you know in connection with reality. What do these people or things inspire you?
(such as SARS cases, flood control cases, etc.). They all have lofty career and dedication)
Conclusion:
Students, you are teenagers in 2 1 century. The future and hope of the motherland and the development of new technologies need all of you to explore and innovate together. Therefore, from now on, we should establish scientific consciousness, dare to explore and challenge nature, and let Scott's spirit live forever on your growth path!
