Teaching process:
First, talk and stimulate interest
Teacher: Wu Cheng'en's fairy tale The Journey to the West has four vivid characters, which left a deep impression on us. Among them, a famous figure is Tang Priest. Do you know that the Tang Priest is based on a monk in the Tang Dynasty in China?
Health: Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty.
Teacher: Who knows what kind of monk Xuanzang is from extracurricular books or movies?
Yi Sheng: He is a strong-willed monk. After suffering, he finally got the truth.
Student 2: He can concentrate on the study of the Book of Songs, and he is kind-hearted and dedicated to the public.
……
Show the bronze statue of Xuanzang and related pictures, and introduce Xuanzang's life;
Xuanzang's life: a famous monk, Buddhist scripture translator and traveler in the Tang Dynasty.
Xuanzang (600-664) was a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, the founder of Faxiangzong, a Buddhist translator and traveler. The common surname is Chen and the first name is Wei. Luozhougou (now Yanshi, Henan Province) was born. He is also a great thinker, philosopher, translator, traveler, diplomat and messenger of cultural exchange between China and foreign countries in the history of our country. He traveled 50,000 miles to the west for 17 years, went to India to learn from the scriptures, and translated 1335 volumes all his life. He has traveled all over India, affecting as far away as Japan, South Korea and even the whole world. His thoughts and spirit are now the common wealth of people in China, Asia and even the world.
Xuanzang: A pilgrim of truth went west alone to seek the Dharma.
In the autumn of 627 AD, in the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang, 28, left Chang 'an quietly and started his journey to the West alone.
In seventeen years, Xuanzang prepared for famine, starved, crossed the desert, climbed the snow ridge, and fought against thieves. He had a narrow escape and never thought about turning back. Xuanzang had only one thought in his heart: "Go to the apocrypha, seek truth from it, and don't go back to the East until you reach Tianzhu."
Teacher: From the above introduction, we know that Xuanzang's remarkable achievements are inseparable from his tenacious will and hard work. Today, we are going to learn a story "The Forest of Life" before Xuanzang became a generation of eminent monks.
Second, read the full text, the overall perception
Teacher: Let the students learn by themselves first against the self-study syllabus to see who reads best.
Learning outline:
1. Read the text in the way you like and think about why Xuanzang left Famen Temple.
2. Why did the abbot take him to the pine forest behind the mountain, and how did he take the opportunity to inspire Xuanzang?
3. Read more sentences that you think are meaningful. Will you use examples in the text and life to understand them?
4. What story did this text tell and what did you learn from it?
Third, reporting and communication, teacher guidance.
Teacher: Why did Xuanzang leave Famen Temple?
Health: Because Xuanzang meditated and practiced by himself, although he felt that he had studied hard for many years, he was far behind many monks in the temple in terms of classics and Taoism.
Student 2: Because he was persuaded, Famen Temple has many eminent monks, and the water is long. Xuanzang is hard to get ahead among many eminent monks. It is better to chant Buddhist scripture in a remote temple, so that his talent can be revealed as soon as possible.
Health 3: Xuanzang thought what others said was right and decided to leave Famen Temple.
Teacher: Which word says that Xuanzang made up his mind to leave Famen Temple after careful consideration?
Health: Resolute.
Teacher: The abbot understands Xuanzang's intention. Why didn't he just persuade Xuanzang to stay? How did he tell Xuanzang the reason for staying by metaphor step by step?
Yi Sheng: The old abbot knew that Xuanzang had thought for a long time before deciding to leave, so he made sense directly, and Xuanzang certainly wouldn't listen.
Health 2: The old abbot first asked which is brighter, candlelight or the sun, and what he was willing to do. Xuanzang thought for a long time and solemnly said that he wanted to be the sun.
Teacher: Why did the old abbot take Xuanzang to talk in the pine forest behind the temple? What do you make of what he said?
Health 1: Because some trees in the pine forest are scattered with branches, they can only be used as firewood for cooking porridge, and some trees are lush and can be used as pillars. The old abbot wanted to tell Xuanzang the truth by using trees to become useful.
Student 2: I think the old abbot told Xuanzang not to be afraid of competition by using the environment where trees become useful. Competition contributes to success.
Teacher: I want two students to read the dialogue between the abbot and Xuanzang. What kind of elder is the old abbot?
Two students read it.
Student 1: It can be seen that the old abbot is a persuasive elder.
Student 2: I think the old abbot is very patient and good at giving inferences to educate students.
Student 3: The old abbot is very kind, has a good way to persuade people and knows the truth of success.
Teacher: Oh, that means he is knowledgeable and has his own unique opinions. He is also good at explaining profound truth in simple terms, taking the pine tree in front of him as an example to convince his disciples. That teacher should also learn from him, not only having profound knowledge, but also mastering good educational methods.
Teacher: Did Xuanzang understand what the old abbot said? Which sentence did you read?
Health: Xuanzang understood what the old abbot said and decided not to leave Famen Temple. I read it from the ninth nature.
Teacher: How to understand this sentence? What does Xuanzang compare Famen Temple to? What do you compare the Temple of Shan Ye to?
Health: He compared Famen Temple to a dense forest and Shan Ye Temple to a tree far away from the forest. He knew that he would not succeed without the Famen Temple where many eminent monks competed and the competitive environment.
Teacher: So Xuanzang calmed down. What happened? Please read the tenth paragraph.
All the students read together: in the forest of Famen Temple, Xuanzang worked hard to practice and finally became a monk.
Teacher: After learning this, can you tell us what this text tells and what it tells us?
Student 1: The article tells that Xuanzang originally wanted to leave Famen Temple to practice in a remote small temple, but later, under the guidance and inspiration of the abbot, he finally stayed, practiced hard and finally became a monk. It shows that a successful person can't live without social groups, just like a big tree, and can't live without forests.
Student 2: I see, success is inseparable from the surrounding environment, and a good environment is conducive to success. For example, the story of Meng Mu's Three Steps.
Third, if you are afraid of competition, you will be eliminated. The more you spend with your master, the better you will improve yourself. For example, Xuanzang can learn from many eminent monks. In order to surpass them, he must study harder.
Teacher: Yes, our personal growth is closely related to the collective and society. Let's compete and exercise ourselves in the collective and society, and make ourselves an accomplished person like Xuanzang, shall we? Please read the last sentence of the text.
Read all the students.
Third, sum up the harvest and accumulate the language.
Teacher: The teacher likes two words in the text very much. One is a kind and convincing old abbot, and the other is Xuanzang who devoted himself to penance. So, after learning this lesson, have you gained anything in thinking and writing?
Student 1: I think this text is written in the order of things, with clear levels.
Student 2: The text puts profound truth into the dialogue between the old abbot and Xuanzang, which is worth learning.
Student 3: The text tells people the truth by metaphor. I want to learn this writing method.
Teacher: There are many reduplicated words and idioms in the text, and the usage is just right. Such as: noisy, lush, boundless, gloomy, morning bells and drums, getting ahead, people, standing out from the crowd and so on. The use of these words greatly enriches the vocabulary of the article and makes the whole text more solemn and elegant.
Fourth, expand and stimulate interest.
Teacher: Students, let's go to Xuanzang again and learn about Xuanzang's growth process on related websites. I also hope you have new insights. Welcome to communicate with you in the form of reading.
