In the summer of May of that year, the poet led an army to March to Wuhuan in the north, left Lulongsai in July, and won a great victory in September.

(2) content

What do the first two sentences of this poem say? What are the last two sentences? What is written in the middle ten sentences?

What is added in the narrative process has nothing to do with the content of the text.

B, the techniques used in the landscape writing part outline the surging, towering over the sea and lush on the island, giving people a picturesque feeling.

D. how does the landscape express the author's feelings?

Express the poet's broad mind by borrowing scenery to express emotion.

Summarize the text and write the poem in your own words.

First of all, Jieshi Mountain, which highlights the sea, stands tall. Although the festival is already late autumn, the mountains are full of vitality, lush trees and green grass. The autumn wind blows, the forest and the mountains call, and the vegetation sings; The waves in the sea are roaring and churning, and the sky wants to meet the sky. Wind helps waves, and waves are strong. A few words from "What is the water like" to "Hong Bo surges" outline a magnificent autumn color map of seamounts, with keen observation, broad vision and overall consideration, showing the author's superhuman wisdom and extraordinary knowledge.

After writing the mountains and seas in front of him, the poet vainly tried to switch the magnificent scene of the sea supporting the sun, the moon and the stars in different time and space periods, adding a majestic momentum to the autumn map of this seamount. This is a further expansion of the poet's heroic mind. The sun and the moon bring warmth and light to mankind, which truly contrasts the poet's grand political ambition to save the people from dire straits and unify the world. The brilliant galaxy is a vivid portrayal of the poet's civil and military integrity.

Four Ancient Poems Teaching Plan 2 "Four Ancient Poems" is the fourth text in Unit 1 of the first volume of the seventh grade textbook. In the teaching of this class, I read according to the characteristics of poetry. First of all, I use annotations to dig this poem and understand the meaning of the sentence. Secondly, analyze the emotions expressed by the described content (scenery, events) as a whole. Thirdly, through repeated reading, let students play their association and imagination, and integrate "God" into them, so as to understand the content and emotion of these four poems and appreciate the beauty of wording and sentence making.

I feel quite satisfied with these lessons: first, at first, I read these four poems in the context of how to read ancient poems, not for teaching; Second, it can be combined with Cao Cao's background to deepen students' understanding of Cao Cao's lofty sentiments about the sea, rather than simply introducing and emphasizing them to students; Thirdly, combining the comments of Liu Xie, Zhong Rong and Wang Fuzhi, it leads to the characteristics of "desolate and generous, Jian 'an style"; Fourthly, we can make a comparative reading in the study of Tianjingsha, and quote Qian Zhongshu's "Where will Gai go? It's the most difficult to mourn the past, and it's all at dusk" to guide students to understand the reasons for choosing this time in the text, which is helpful for a deeper understanding of the text; Fifth, students have a strong learning atmosphere and active classroom thinking.

The first volume of the seventh grade, four ancient poems, three teaching plans and three teaching objectives

1, understand the content of the poem, understand the feelings expressed in it and the life interest expressed.

2. Appreciate the characteristics of the blend of poetry and scenery and the beauty of diction and sentence making.

3. Know a little about the rhythm of poetry.

teaching process

First, introduce the text.

Ancient poetry is a bright pearl in the treasure house of China ancient literature. There are many excellent works, not only with beautiful language and far-reaching artistic conception; Some of them are full of life interest, and some contain profound philosophy, so they have been widely read for thousands of years and become masterpieces that have been read through the ages. We middle school students learn some excellent ancient poems, which not only helps to improve our language level, but also cultivates our thoughts and sentiments. So we should study hard and master a certain number of ancient poems. Today, we are studying five ancient poems, mainly to understand the ancient methods of expressing emotion with scenery, and pay attention to refining words, that is, refining meaning.

Second, learn to "see the sea"

1, problem solving: What does the title mean? How to explain the word "Cang" in "Cang Hai"? Can the topic be changed to "Looking at the sea"?

2. The teacher reads aloud after reading.

3. Understand the content.

Question design: (1) What do the first two sentences say? How to explain the "near" in the East Boundary Stone?

(2) Which of the following sentences is seen by the author?

(3) There are six lines in the poem Looking at the Sea. What's the difference between content and angle?

(4) Question: What do you mean by "trip to the sun and the moon"? Is this what the author saw before his eyes? What does the author write?

Inspiration: The author's writing about the sea ends here. We can imagine to recall: what kind of scene did the author describe in the poem? What are the characteristics of the sea described by the author? Then contact the author to write the background of this poem. Let's think about it. What kind of thoughts and feelings does this poem reflect?

Qing: The sea described by the author is magnificent and broad-minded. When the author wrote this poem, he had just pacified Wuhuan and returned to the Central Plains. It was the time when he was full of ambition. Facing the magnificent sea, the author can't help but express his heroic feelings of making contributions and unifying the world. Especially "the trip to the sun and the moon, if it comes from it; The poem "If a brilliant star comes out" vividly reflects the author's broad mind and has become a famous sentence for thousands of years.

4. Analyze the rhythm.

This poem is a four-character Yuefu poem, and its rhyme is "Zhi", "Qi", "Li" and "Zhi", so it can be seen that the rhyme is "I".

5. Read and recite together.

Third, learn a mooring at the foot of Beibao Mountain.

Background and author:

The author Wang Wan, whose date of birth and death is unknown, only knows that he is from Luoyang. He was born in the first year (7 12), that is, the year when Du Fu was born. He was a scholar, and later moved between Wu Chu, and finally became an assistant in Luoyang. This poem was written by him during his time in Wu Chu. Beigushan, located in the north of Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, surrounded by rivers on three sides, is a scenic spot.

Second, students immediately recite the whole poem after understanding it (because of its beautiful artistic conception, simple language and harmonious phonology, it is estimated that it is easier to recite;

Three students practice reciting (omitted)

Four overall grasps.

Q: The poet is on the boat at the moment, and the "guest road" is beyond the castle peak and can't be seen. Why does the poem begin with a reference to "guest road"? (This is the poet's imagination. Obviously, after the ship arrives in Zhenjiang, he will go ashore and then go to other places by mail. ) "When and where did the poet see that the banks widened until the tide ebbed, and there was no wind to stir my lonely sails?"? (At dawn, in the Yangtze River where the ship is approaching its destination, that is, Beigushan) Can you imagine the picture of the ship? (Speak freely) Why do you want to specifically mention "tidal flats"? (The next sentence "Jiang Chunren's old year" is Zhang Ben) What time of the year does this "old year" refer to? Why did the poet suddenly think of sending a letter home? As the Chinese New Year is coming, it is the time for family reunion, but he can't go home, so it is natural to write a letter of peace. What's more, when he saw the geese returning to the north, he must pass through Luoyang, which is in the north of Jiangxi. )

Well, now we can sum up the reasons why the poet has a strong homesickness. (omitted)

Analysis of five famous sentences. From the perspective of composition, the sentence "Rihai" has the function of leading to the ending, that is, it is related to the poet's homesickness. Does that make sense? Let's talk about the scene written in these two sentences first. Students speak freely according to their imagination. Are there any similarities between the two scenes? (Day and night alternate, old and new years alternate-so day after day, year after year, and the poet is still on the move and can't go home, how can he not miss home? However, this homesickness does not make people feel depressed, such as "but I look at home and the twilight is fading? "Jiang waves with a layer of sad mist, it is more cheerful, isn't it? Be reasonable. The night is not over, but the rising sun has risen; The spring tide on the river has arrived before the old year is over-doesn't it contain new hope? )

Fourth, summary.

When we read ancient poems, we should not only seriously understand the poet's original intention, but also be good at discovering new things with our own eyes. For example, the phrase "the sea and the sun" allows us to pursue beautiful things, believing that it will break through all obstacles and appear before our eyes, so that we can "live" to read ancient poems.

2. Problem solving: What does the topic mean? How to explain the word "Cang" in "Cang Hai"? Can the topic be changed to "Looking at the sea"? (pale, it is dark green. The "sea" has color, which is better than the image of the "sea", so it cannot be changed. )

[Teaching Highlights] Looking at the sea and mooring at the foot of Beibao Mountain

First, guide the design.

Students, who knows which literary genre developed most successfully in China during the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties? (The students answered, and the teacher made it clear: Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuanqu) Indeed, China has been a country of poetry since ancient times. Beginning with the ancient Book of Songs, his excellent poetry works are vast. Today, we will learn four famous poems.

Second, "look at the sea"

1. Solve the problem; Brief introduction of writers' works

(1) Introduction to the author

Cao Cao (155-220), also known as Meng De, was a statesman, strategist and poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Good poetry is famous for its generosity and tragic.

(2) Introduction of works

In the title "Viewing the Sea", "view" means "looking far and seeing widely". Sea: Sea, here refers to the Bohai Sea.

In the 12th year of Jian 'an of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (207), Cao Cao led an army to the north to pursue Yuan Shao's remnants, took the oath of the Northern Expedition in May, and left Lulongzhai in July, leaving the back hill. He jumped into Jieshi, where Qin Huang and Wu Han had been. The autumn wind was bleak, and his heart was like the sea, so it was difficult to calm down. He wrote this magnificent poem.

From the genre of the poem, it is a Yuefu four-character poem, and from the way of expression, it is a lyric poem.

2. Reading guidance and training

(1) Grasp the reading rhythm of four-character poems.

Hint: The rhythm of poetry can be divided according to syllables and meanings. Every sentence in the four-character poem is generally read as "February 22" rhythm, such as: East/Jieshi, to view/sea.

(2) Teachers should set an example to read aloud, demanding clear pronunciation and mellow voice, full of emotion. (or play the recording)

(3) Students should read aloud in chorus, requiring accuracy, neatness and a sense of rhythm.

3. Understand this article as a whole

(1) Students use notes to dredge the content of poetry. Supplementary content:

Shuihelian: How, how. Ripple, the appearance of water waves rippling.

Looking at the sea with scenery: a conjunction expressing purpose with scenery.

Yamashima: high. Stand straight. Stand straight.

Bleak: Describe the sound of the wind blowing trees.

Lucky, even: lucky, lucky. To the extreme. I am very happy. That's great. The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected: if, such as. It, it refers to the sea.

(2) it is difficult to dial:

"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; If the Star House is brilliant, if it is out of it, it is the intertextuality in ancient poetry. That is to say, only one party professes in words, meaning depends on the other party. The sentence not only says: "the trip to the sun and the moon", but also says "the trip to Xinghan"; Not only say "the stars are brilliant", but also say "the sun and the moon are brilliant". Taken together, "the sun, the moon and the stars run brilliantly, if they are out of the sea. "

4. Cooperative investigation

(1) What word is the whole poem written in?

(2) How many meanings did this poem write? Which poems are realistic? Which poems are fictional?

(3) Which verses in the poem can best reflect the author's broad mind?

(4) How does this poem express the author's thoughts and feelings?

Key tip: the whole poem is mainly based on the word "view", and the word "view" is used below to write what you saw when you climbed the mountain.

The first layer (the first two sentences): explain the location of watching the sea, and the word "view" dominates the whole article. The second layer (from "what is water" to "Hongbo surges"): describe the sea water and mountain islands. "What is water, what is a mountain island" combines static and dynamic, depicting a panoramic view of the sea; "There are many trees and plenty of grass" describes the quiet scenery and shows the vitality of the island; "The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rough" describes the dynamic scenery and shows the majestic momentum of the sea.

This layer is all about writing real scenes in reality.

The third layer (from Journey to the Moon): with the help of strange imagination, it shows the spirit of the sea devouring the sun, the moon and the stars. It's a virtual scene, as can be seen from the word "if".

Facing the charming seascape, the poet launched a rich and strange imagination. These four sentences are the climax of the whole poem, creating an extremely broad artistic conception: the rushing sun and moon, the starry galaxy, are all contained in this sea, how magnificent.

The first part of this poem describes the scene of the sea, which has a broad vision and can also show the poet's mind, but compared with the latter part, the weather is slightly inferior. Four sentences about the sea in Journey to the Sun, Moon and Stars are all in vain, but they show that the sea has the spirit of containing heaven and earth and the poet's broad mind.

The last two sentences are attached for the sake of harmony and joy, and have nothing to do with the content of the poem.

Theme: The author of this poem describes the magnificent scenery of the sea, shows an open mind and expresses his ambition to unify the world and make contributions.

Difficulty: talk about the thoughts and feelings that the author wants to express.

The image of the sea is the embodiment of the poet's image. The poet pacified the northern heroes, and now he has defeated the remnants of Wu Huan and Yuan Shao, which relieved the worries of the upcoming reunification of China in the south. At that time, Cao Cao had leveled the northern heroes, defeated the remnants of Wu Huan and Yuan Shao, and spun in the north. If the separatist forces in the south are eliminated, the grand goal of sweeping the earth and unifying the whole country can be achieved. When he was full of ambition, he expressed his desire to make contributions through the image of the sea, wrote magnificent poems that have been handed down for thousands of years, and showed his great ambition and broad mind.

5. Summary: "Poetry expresses ambition" poets write about the sea and express their ambition to unify China. This feeling is not directly revealed in the poem, but contained in the description of the scenery. The whole poem has a broad artistic conception, vigorous momentum and passion between the lines. Of the ten sentences about scenery, the first six are real scenes, and the last four are virtual scenes. Real scenery gives people an immersive feeling, while virtual scenery stimulates readers' imagination with its novelty. The poet compared himself to the sea, showing his broad mind and heroism.

6. Recite the whole poem.

Third, a berth at the foot of Beibao Mountain.

1. Solve the problem; Brief introduction of writers' works

In ancient times, the traffic was underdeveloped, and people who lived or worked abroad could not return for a long time, which naturally led to homesickness, so homesickness became an important theme in poetry. This poem is about homesickness, which is famous for its couplets. "... the night now gives way to the ocean of the sun, and the old year melts in freshness."

The author Wang Wan, whose date of birth and death is unknown, only knows that he is from Luoyang. He was a scholar in the first year of his life (7 12), and then he traveled between Wu Chu, so he could not return to China, so he pretended to be a scholar.

In the title "A berth under the North Fort Mountain", time means berthing. In terms of genre, it is a five-character poem, and in terms of expression, it is a lyric poem.

2. Introduce the related knowledge of rhyme:

Eight regular poems. It is divided into four parts: first joint, parallel joint, neck joint and tail joint.

Rhyme, rhyme at the end of each couplet. Rhyme is called rhyme.

Parallel couplets and necklaces must be antithetical sentences.

3. Reading guidance and training

(1) Grasp the reading rhythm of five-character poems.

Hint: Generally, five-character poems have three beats, 22 1 or 22 12. For example, the guest road/castle peak/outside, boating/green water/front. Sea, Sun, Life and Night, Jiang Chun/Entry/Last year.

(2) Teachers demonstrate reading, students read together, and feel as a whole.

4. Cooperative investigation

What season does this poem depict? Where can you see it?

Early spring. Castle Peak, Green Water, Tidal Flat, Zheng Feng and Jiang Chun.

(2) How does this poem express the author's thoughts and feelings? Which two poems epitomize this feeling?

Miss home. Finally, I can send my messenger, Wild Goose, back to Luoyang.

(3) Imagine what it would be like to "widen the banks until the ebb tide, and there is no wind to flap my lonely sails". How would you feel if you were there?

"Width" is the result of flat tide. The spring tide is surging and the river is vast. Looking around, it seems that the river is flush with the shore, which broadens the horizons of the people on board. "Hanging" means hanging straight and high, and "positive" wind means downwind and gentle wind at the same time, so the sail is hung straight and high.

(4) The couplet "... Night gives way to the ocean of sunshine, and the old year melts in freshness. Please choose an angle and analyze it briefly.
