Ling Zongwei: Classroom teaching transcript of "Walking"

This is the classroom teaching transcript of "Walking" that I taught in 2006 when I was teaching at Jinsha Middle School in Tongzhou District, Nantong City.

(Before class, multimedia playback of "I Love My Home" was sung by teachers and students)

Teacher: Students, when you sing this song, how do you feel?

Student 1: Warm.

Student 2: Kindness.

…………

Teacher: Why do you feel this way?

S1: Because the song reflects the content all around us.

Teacher: We feel the warmth of home every day: this warmth is in the care of parents, the greetings of relatives, but also at the family's dinner table, in the family's walk... Writer Mo Huaiqi's essay "Walking" recreates this warmth of the family for us. Let's listen to the recording of the reading of the text first, and ask the students to pay attention to what happened during the walk.

(Multimedia playback of "Walking" reading recording)

Teacher: What happened to the family of four while walking in the text?

Birth 3: Disagreement: The "mother of mine" will take the big road, and the son of "me" will take the small road.

Teacher: How are differences resolved?

Birth 3: "I" decided to take the big road, but "my" mother changed her mind and took the small road.

Teacher: Why did I decide to take the big road, and why did my mother change her mind and take the small road again?

Birth 3: "I" felt that the time with my son was still long, and the time that "I" spent with my mother was short, so I decided to take the big road; the mother, because of her inherent love of licking and love of nature, changed her idea of taking the big road and agreed to take the small road.

Teacher: Very good! This article writes a story that often happens around us, but we rarely write it, why?

S3: Because it's so common, we didn't pay attention to it!

Teacher: Yes! The material of the composition is all around us, as long as we pay attention to observation and accumulation, we can also "see what no one has seen, and what no one has seen". Just now, when we listened to the reading, did we find our favorite sentences?

Teacher: Didn't pay attention? It doesn't matter, we listened to it again, please pay attention to the students: your favorite sentence in the text, why?

Teacher: Remember: When listening to and reading, draw your favorite sentences in time.

Teacher: Students can communicate and then communicate with sentences such as "I like..., because..."

Sheng (Qi): Good!

Sheng 4: I like the second paragraph in the text, because spring is a symbol of vitality and expresses the author's love for spring.

Teacher: When I read this paragraph, I also liked it, because I remembered a saying in our hometown: "Cold winter to old cattle, dead old people." In the text, "This spring came too late, too late, and some old people could not stand it and died when the Qingming Dynasty was about to arrive." That's what it means. Old people have poor resistance and can't stand the cold weather, like last year's blizzard, so many old people have passed away. However, spring has finally arrived! "My mother survived another sweltering winter." Between the words, the expectation of spring, the praise of the mother's tenacious vitality overflowed into words. The students think, why do the teachers have such a feeling?

Student 4: The teacher thinks about the things in real life and the content of the text, and the feelings are naturally deeper than ours.

Teacher: Yes! To learn Chinese, we cannot talk about texts, but we must consciously connect with life and think in connection with what we have learned in the past. In this way, our understanding of the text will be much deeper. Students think about it, in this paragraph, "Spring has finally come!" What kind of mood does the author feel?

Student 4: Looking forward to spring!

Teacher: Very good! Which text of the text we have studied in the past, the hope for spring, the joy of the arrival of spring, which text is most impressive to you?

Sheng (Qi): Zhu Ziqing's "Spring"!

Teacher: Good! Can you recite a few of the texts of anticipation for spring and joy at its arrival?

Sheng 4: "Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, the east wind is coming, and the footsteps of spring are near...

Sheng (Qi): "The grass sneaks out of the soil, tender, green." In the garden, in the field, lo and behold, a large field full of people. Sit, lie down, play two rolls, kick a few balls, race a few runs, catch a few times to hide. The wind is gentle, the grass is soft...

Teacher: Why does the author say that "my mother survived a harsh winter again" instead of "standing up" and not "degree"?

Birth 4: "Boiling" not only writes the scene of the mother enduring the pain and surviving the harsh winter, but also writes the feeling of "I" rejoicing that the mother is finally safe and sound, and also writes the mother's tenacious vitality.

Teacher: That's a great way to say! Do you like other sentences?

S5: I like "She listens to me now, just as I listened to her when I was a child" because it makes us see how much we depend on our parents when we were young, and the old people are also dependent on the young, and we must care about the old people.

Teacher: Very good! When I saw this sentence, I remembered a sentence from my grandfather: "Old Hou, Old Hou, when a person is old, he becomes a waiter", which means that when a person is old, he needs young people to take care of him like a child.

S6: I like "this southern early spring field, where large and small pieces of new green are laid at will, some thick and some light; the young shoots on the trees are also dense; the winter water in the field is also cooing with blisters", because it writes the vitality that spring brings us.

Teacher: Yes, this is just like the sentence described in "Spring", "Peach trees, apricot trees, pear trees, you don't let me, I don't let you, are full of flowers to rush to the child", spring, full of vitality of life.

S7: I like that "in a flash, I feel a great responsibility. I wanted a way to do both, and I couldn't find it; I wanted to break up the family and divide it into two ways, each with its own place, and finally I didn't want to. I decided to grieve my son because I had been with him for a long time. Because the differences between mothers and sons are resolved by me, usually mothers, sons, and wives listen to "me", and "I" can't think of a way to have both, on the one hand is "my" mother, on the other hand is "my" son, "I want to break up the family, divide into two roads, get what they want", and "finally unwilling". I wrote about "my" embarrassment, but "I" still "decided to wrongfully aggrieved my son because I had been with him for a long time." It tells us about the unique responsibility of middle-aged people: to take care of both children and the elderly.

Teacher: Yes, there are old people on the top and small ones on the bottom. The burden on the shoulders of middle-aged people is indeed not light.

S8: I like the last paragraph: "So we walk in the sun toward the cauliflower, the mulberry tree, and the fish pond." When I got to one place, I squatted down and carried my mother on my back, and my wife also squatted down and carried my son. Although my mother is tall, she is very thin, and naturally not heavy; although my son is very fat, after all, he is young and naturally light. But my wife and I walked slowly, steadily, very carefully, as if what was on my back and what was on her back added up to the whole world. Because "I" and my wife are middle-aged people with old age and small people at the bottom, they must support the elderly and raise children, shouldering the responsibility of inheriting the past and the future. For us, this family of four, three generations of grandchildren is our whole world. It is our sense of responsibility and mission in life that makes us carry our mother and son.

Teacher: Well said! This is true of a family, and it is even more so of our nation. The old saying has clouds: "The old man is old, and the old man is old; the young man is young, and the young man is young", which is the fine tradition of our Chinese nation. So "I" and my wife carry the whole world.

S9: I like it" Her eyes followed the path: there were golden cauliflowers, two neat rows of mulberry trees, and a sparkling fish pond at the end. Where I can't go, you carry me on your back. 'Mother said to me'. Because of the golden cauliflowers, the neat mulberry trees, the sparkling fish ponds. Write the breath of spring, spring is calling, life is calling. Between the lines, what is revealed is the mother's love for life and the cherishing of life.

Teacher: Well said! It is her mother's love of life and cherishing of life that makes her "survive another harsh winter." I believe that everyone's favorite sentences must be more than these, due to the time relationship, please ask students to write down their feelings in their textbooks after class. Let's ask the students to talk about it, which person do you like in the text?

Sheng 10: I like the son of "I" in the text, from his sentence "The front is also the mother and son, and the back is also the mother and son", you can see his innocence and cuteness.

Sheng: I also like the son of "me" in the text, because he is very docile, not as messy as some of our only children, "he is also used to obeying his tall father."

Teacher: Hmm! Learn to be humble.

Sheng 11: I like the mother in the text because she will accommodate her grandson and be considerate of her son. Because she is old, her health is not good, and she feels very tired when she walks farther away, and she does not want to come out. But she listened to "me" very much, just as "I" listened to her as a child, took my coat and went out for a walk with us. When there was a disagreement with her grandson on the main road or on the small road, she "touched her grandson's little brain melon and changed her mind" and decided to take the small road.

Teacher: Well, that's the love of licking calves.

Sheng 12: I like the "I" in the text, because he is very filial piety, the weather is warm and he remembers to take his mother out for a walk; when walking, when the son and the mother have a disagreement on whether to take the big road or the small road, "I decided to wronged my son" and chose to take the big road; when walking, when I saw the place where I could not go, "I" came down and carried the mother.

Teacher: Yes! Filial piety comes first. "I" have the old one and the small one on the bottom, and when the two ends cannot be taken care of, the old one should be taken care of, and the son will understand when he grows up. Loving wives and children in life is natural and easy to do, and filial piety to the elderly is not easy to do.

S13: I also like the "I" in the text.

Teacher: Do any of your classmates like the wife in the text?

(Cold Field)

Teacher: In fact, the wife in the text is also quite cute, and we did not find out that it is because there is not much ink on her in the text. "Outside, she always listens to me", and when "I decided to wrongfully wronged my son", the wife did not argue at all. In her, we can see the daughter-in-law's filial piety to her mother-in-law, respect for her husband, and love for her son. As a wife, as a daughter-in-law, it should be so. This is the chinese nation's way of women! Instead of favoring children and treating mothers-in-law badly, as we usually see individual wives. What do your classmates think?

Raw (Qi): Yes!

Teacher: Reading the article, we will definitely find something about some seemingly inconspicuous places, as long as we use our hearts to understand them.

Teacher: Let's read again, "She listens to me very much now, just as I listened to her when I was a child." "Think about what characteristics of this sentence are in expression?

Student: (Free Reading)

Sheng (Qi): The sentences are neat and the content is related.

Teacher: Yes! In terms of content, there is a loop relationship, which shows the meekness of "me" to the mother decades ago, and now the meekness of the mother to the "me". It is very interesting to bring the two aspects together and contrast with each other. The sentences are neatly written, and there is also a symmetrical beauty. There are more similar sentences in the text, please find a few to look at.

Birth 14: The front is also the mother and son, and the back is also the mother and son.

Birth 15: The mother will take the big road, and the big road will be smooth; my son will take the small road, and the small road is interesting.

Birth 16: My mother is old, and she has long been accustomed to obeying her strong son; my son is still young, and he is still accustomed to obeying his tall father.

Birth 17: I squatted down and carried my mother on my back, and my wife squatted down and carried my son.

Teacher: This is an essay that expresses the praise of family affection, and I ask the students to use a metaphor to say that family affection is...

Raw 2: QingQin is a cup of strong coffee, the more delicious it is.

Sheng 4: QingQin is a song, gentle and deep.

Student 1: QingQin is a cup of boiled water.

Teacher: How is it boiled water? Be creative!

Student 1: Only if you taste it carefully can you taste sweetness.

Teacher: Very good! After class, I hope that each student will write three similar metaphors, and do not write them again after what has been said. Class!
