Montaigne "love of life" lesson plan (2)

1, the teacher read the first paragraph can not help but have a question, the subject of our paper is? Love of life? and the author of the opening paragraph talks about how to? day? The author of this writing what is the intention? (We think? Life? and? life? What is the connection between life and days?)

Life and days are inextricably linked because our lives are made up of the combination of every day we spend.

At the same time, the author from how to spend the life of the ordinary every day of this commonplace but closely related to all of us, but also will give the reader a sense of familiarity and intimacy, to mobilize the reader's interest in reading.

The teacher here would like to share with you a small episode of her own about life and time. (Time is money? Time is life?)

I once logged on to such a website, which can calculate the length of life of each person in this life, and it mainly budgets for you based on different people's daily habits: for example, whether you have the bad habit of smoking or drinking, whether you love and insist on sports, whether your daily diet is regular or not, whether you have enough sleep every day, and so on. When I finished filling in my personal data, through the magic of the computer, it was calculated that I would live to be 104 years old, which meant that I was still living a pretty green life. Then a spreadsheet appeared on the computer screen: it converted the remaining 80-odd years of my life into a long series of numbers, measured in seconds. When I saw the seconds on the computer screen moving and slipping away second by second, my heart shook steeply! At that time, I y feel the preciousness of their lives, should treasure every second of our life in the invisible.

2, the next teacher to give you a specific opportunity to cherish time, please find out as fast as possible the two contrasts in this paragraph, see who find fast! I hope you use the author's original words to answer and learn to find key words.

Which student found the first contrast?

The first one: the different ways of spending the days on good days and bad days

First, the days are divided into two kinds, one when the sky is bad and unpleasant (good days)

one when the wind and the sun are fine (bad days)

Then, the author adopts different attitudes and approaches to the two different kinds of days,

? Bad days? are to be ? to be worn out? ,? To fly by?

The good days have to be? Take your time and enjoy it. The best thing about it is that it's a good thing to be able to enjoy it. stop and savor?

The author's view here coincides with that of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, who elucidated it this way -

"The essence of life lies in the pursuit of happiness, and there are two ways to be happy: first, to discover the time that makes you happy, and to increase it; and, second, to discover the time that makes you unhappy, and to decrease it."

3. Which student found the second contrast?

The second place: ? The philosopher? and? I? contrast different views of life (positive, negative)

? Philosopher? :? passes away? Wasting away? Avoid? Ignore? As if life were? A chore? A cheap thing.

? I? : think that life is? Praiseworthy? fun? s, our life is gifted by nature, it is superior.

3, through these two contrasts, the author emphasizes what kind of attitude towards life? Which student will summarize it for us.

The role of contrast:

Montaigne believes that life is ? worthy of praise? and? joyful? that it is a gift of nature. a gift of nature? And the best of all worlds. superiority of nature. Even in the twilight of one's life. even in his twilight years.

He rejected the idea of a life that? He rejected the idea that the weight of life was too great for him to bear. Or the wastefulness of a life spent in vain.

Through the first paragraph - we learn about Montaigne's positive attitude towards life.

Lesson 2

Second Paragraph Study

Now please read the second natural paragraph aloud in unison.

The second paragraph students read aphorisms and re-accumulation of the author in the second paragraph to quote the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca's famous quote to argue this point. We read the aphorisms together again, students in the usual reading inside and outside the classroom, you can collect some of your favorite, interesting celebrity quotes or beautiful poems, the best to memorize them on time, so that you can quote in writing, handy, take the language of the celebrities to their own point of view to prove that you can add a lot of color to your composition. Question students, the teacher collects and prepares some sentences about time and life

(the role of the second paragraph to carry on)

1, if we can't recognize and treat life correctly, we will become a confused person, and our life will become boring and restless. How terrible this is! So, in real life, how should we love our life? Discuss with each other at the same table. how Brainstorming How to love life

Students discuss, the teacher summarizes and talks about their feelings. Combined with their own experience of the 5.12 earthquake, love of life should be--

Full of gratitude for life--grateful for every morning when we open our eyes in a sleepy haze,

Full of love for life--love every day when we have bread, smiles, or even worries

In addition to these two kinds of emotion is not enough, because we not only know how to love We must not only know how to love our own lives, but also learn to respect the lives of others; we must not only care about our own safety and security, but also learn to care about the kittens and dogs, flowers and grasses around us, that is to say, we must also care about the other lives in the natural world. Zhuangzi thought

Third paragraph study

Next, we come together to analyze the third paragraph, first of all, please read the third paragraph aloud in unison, while reading and thinking about how to love our lives, to be a wise person rather than a confused person? Montaigne may have given us his . Answer.

The first two paragraphs of the author discusses the topic of life, but in the third paragraph the author introduces a new topic, which is the other side of life - death.

1, students have thought about the topic of death? Are people afraid of death?

Since people are generally afraid of death, the author of the first sentence of this paragraph points out? Ready to say goodbye to life without regret? (Question) Why is this? Combined with the latter answer.

This is not due to the hardship or distress of life, but because the essence of life lies in death. Therefore only he who delights in life is truly free from the anguish of death. --And the reason why the author does not feel the fear of death, and is ready to bid farewell to life without regret, is that he is happy to be alive.

1, the philosophical sentences of the explanation, in line with the students' classroom response, focusing on the selection of two sentences for detailed discussion

① (philosophical sentences)? The essence of life is death. This sentence of understanding?

Life and death are like two sides of the same coin, there is life and there must be death, and the reason why each of us can truly feel that we are living in this world is precisely because each of us is bound to have the day of death. Our state of life is relative to the state of death and the existence of the state, just as the relationship between happiness and pain, satiety and hunger, fat and thin, they are relative to the existence of the absence of one or the other.

At the same time, the existence of life as an individual is transient, limited, and always dying, which is unavoidable for everyone. Death is the end of life, but also the starting point for measuring value. Only cherish life, love of life, serious and full of life, good at enjoying all kinds of happiness in life, for the death of people have no regrets.

② (philosophical sentence) how to understand? Happy to live can really not feel the pain of death? The sentence?

Positive: If we cherish life, love life, serious and full of life, good at enjoying all kinds of happiness in life people feel no regrets in death, will not feel the pain of death.

Negative: If a lifetime of laziness and procrastination, depressed, can not be positive and optimistic about life, leaving a lot of regrets, the death of the inevitable distress.

③ Since? The only person who can really not feel the pain of death is the person who is happy to be alive. I am not sure how to do this.

The author then goes on to say.

The author goes on to remind us that? Enjoy life also need to pay attention to the method? Everyone together in the text to find a specific way to enjoy life? According to the original text, summarize it a little.

A. Caring about life and increasing the pleasure of life

The amount of pleasure in life depends on how much we care about it.

B. We can't increase the length of life, but we can increase the weight of life

We may not be able to predict the length of life, just like the Wenchuan Earthquake that happened around me in 2008, the people who lost their lives in the earthquake, one moment maybe they are still singing and laughing, but the next moment they have been crushed under the rubble. However, I hope that we will not be pessimistic, although everyone can not predict the future, but we can grasp the present, to increase the weight of life, that is, the quality of our every day life.

C. Grasp and utilize the present time effectively

We need to grasp and utilize time effectively. We need to make the most of our time and use it effectively. We need to make the most of our short and limited life. The author takes himself as an example, and is confident that he can live twice as long as others, even if he is already in his old age. With the effective use of time to make up for the rush of time. Make their last remaining? Life is full of fullness

③ (philosophical sentences)? The magnitude of life's pleasures is determined by how much we care about it? How should this sentence be understood, please students according to their own life experience in connection with the text to explain.

The teacher will give you an example of his own way of caring for life and his own pleasure - take the modern poem "Days" written by himself as an example, and guide you to dig out the poetic meaning of life through the modern poem, in order to cultivate the pleasure of caring for life, and supplemented with the combination of my own caring for life and my own feelings and pleasure gained.
