Di Renjie's thinking uncovers the "crime scene" in reading comprehension
01
The context of the case
Just like Di Renjie solving the case, many students will also encounter such a problem when facing the "big case" of reading comprehension: "I understand all the words, but I am confused as soon as I do the question, and I can't grasp the 'context of the case' of the article."
This is like a detective standing in front of a pile of clues, but he doesn't know where to start, the plot direction of the story, the motivation of the characters, the theme of the idea, these details of the "crime scene", often like a figure in the smoke, you can see it, but you can't touch it.
02
Case analysis
(1) "Casual reading": Many students read too fast, only staying at the literal meaning, and lacking the ability to interpret the text in depth, which is like Di Renjie only looking at the superficial evidence and ignoring the micro-expressions and mental activities behind it.
(2) "Fragmented understanding": Some students do not form an overall perception and separate the article to understand, just like Di Renjie If he only investigates a single clue separately and does not comprehensively analyze all the information, it may be difficult to sort out the ins and outs of the entire case.
(3) "Ignoring the author's intention": Many students fail to understand why the author writes like this, just like Di Renjie did not have insight into the criminal's motive and it is difficult to accurately judge the truth.
03
solution
(1) "Slow Reading and Fine Tasting Method"
We have to learn from Di Renjie's patience and meticulousness, each article needs to slow down and read carefully, find out the key sentences and keywords through circle outlines, and build the "skeleton" of the article, which is the so-called "peeling off the cocoon and finding the main line".
(2) "Global Perspective"
Take the chapter as a unit, grasp the overall structure and ideas of the article, like Di Renjie overlooking the overall situation, seeing both the trees and the forest, and remembering the mantra "coherent up and down, echoing before and after, prominent in the center, and clear in layers".
(3) "Insight into the Author's Heart"
Learning to figure out the author's emotional attitude and writing purpose, empathy, and trying to enter the author's inner world is called "putting yourself in the shoes of the motive".

For a better understanding, Ms. Shao Ming will use the above method to design a Chinese reading comprehension question and give an example of how to solve it:
"Horse Head Qin on the Prairie"
In the vast grassland, there is a beautiful legend about the horse-head qin. It is said that a little shepherd boy named Su He was devastated by the loss of his beloved little white horse. He made a piano out of the bones of a white horse, and every moonlit night, he would play it on the grassland, and the melodious sound of the piano seemed to tell a deep feeling of longing. Later, this qin was revered as the horse-head qin and became an important symbol of Mongolian music culture. Every festival celebration, the music of the horse-head qin will float on the grassland, which not only carries people's awe of nature, but also carries the memory of national history.
Reading Comprehension Questions:

1. What is the reason why Suhe made the horse-head fiddle?

The second paragraph describes the role and symbolism of the matouqin in Mongolian musical culture.
② Identify Key Elements：
Key sentence: "He made a harp out of the bones of a white horse, and every moonlit night, he would play it on the grassland." ”

③ Outline Structure：
Introduction: Introducing the legendary origin of the horse-head fiddle
Subject: A description of the matouqin becoming an important part of Mongolian musical culture
Conclusion: The emotional sustenance and cultural carrying role of Matouqin music in grassland life
Solving problems with GPS Strategy:
① Scan for the Big Picture：
A quick glance at the full text shows that the article mainly talks about the origin of the matouqin and its significance in Mongolian culture.
② Connect Segments：
From the production of the matouqin by Suhe to its reverence as an important cultural symbol, it shows the continuity of the matouqin in the inheritance of national culture.
The expression "every festival celebration" reflects the wide range of application scenarios of the matouqin in real life.
③ Pinpoint Central Idea：
The central idea of the article is that as a symbol of Mongolian music culture, the matouqin originates from folklore and is deeply rooted in the life and emotions of the grassland people.
I think it's a good time to be in the top 10.
① Emotional Tone Analysis：
The article is narrated in a tone full of admiration and nostalgia, showing the emotion of the affectionate story behind the matouqin and the love for grassland culture.
② Purpose Identification：
The author aims to arouse readers' awareness of the cherishing and inheritance of Mongolian traditional culture through the narration of the legend of the horse-head qin and its importance in contemporary culture.
③ Reflective Interpretation：
The author believes that the matouqin is not only the carrier of music and art, but also the reflection of the spiritual world of the grassland people, through the music of the matouqin, people can feel the respect for life and the awe of nature of the grassland people.
To sum up, by using the three methods of SRS, GPS, and ATAI, we can fully understand the content of the text, and accurately answer the specific details involved in the reading comprehension questions, the structure of the text, and the author's intention.

At last
Using the above solutions can not only help students improve their reading comprehension skills, but also cultivate their independent thinking ability and logical reasoning ability.
However, it should be noted that any method needs time to be tempered and tested in practice, and the results may not be obvious in the short term, but long-term persistence is like Di Renjie becoming a generation of detectives after tempering.
Therefore, we want to encourage students to maintain a sustained enthusiasm for learning and believe that they too can become "Di Renjie" who solves the mystery of reading comprehension.
At the same time, as teachers, we should continue to pay attention to and adjust our teaching methods, so that each child can find their own "detective toolbox".
