I. The starting point for the implementation of exploratory essay teaching

The implementation of exploratory essay teaching is aimed at overcoming the shortcomings of the traditional test-based essay teaching. Under the long-term influence of the traditional teaching ideas of essay writing to the test, a large number of elementary school students are caught in the "bias, copying, set" and "false, big, empty" circle. In the face of the composition, students often only "clone", will not really pour out. The reason for this is that the traditional teaching of composition is not from the student body needs, but from the needs of the composition, for the composition of the composition, so that most of the students are afraid of the composition, depending on the composition of the fear of the road, passive composition, mechanical operation. Secondly, the traditional teaching of composition heavy form light content, inappropriately cited a number of creative and chapter on the concept of student composition is still inherited a basic routine: first determine the central idea, and then draw up an outline of the exercise, and finally according to the "outline" to "fill in" the content, and then into the text. Then into the text. What's more, there is the so-called "compartmentalized training", which divides composition training into a number of "compartments", and then conducts training in compartments. Doing so, from the method of expression may be more or less will receive some results, but the students' thinking will also be rigid "fixed". Third, the traditional teaching of composition on the composition of the "ideological" put forward unrealistic requirements. Elementary school students have to make up some falsehoods, empty words, big words to show that "meaningful", racking their brains to raise the level of thought of the composition. We do not oppose the student essay "ideological", but must be clear what is the student essay ideological. It is inappropriate to try to apply the ideology of adult writing to elementary school students. Composition, as a kind of "outpouring", should be from the heart, unattached, free and easy. Language Curriculum Standards" has been the elementary school composition requirements "center" three words deleted, emphasizing "specific content, emotional truth", it is worth thinking about.

Sukhomlinsky pointed out: "In the depths of the human heart, there is a deep-rooted need to be a discoverer, researcher, explorer, and in the spiritual world of children, this need is particularly strong." To this end, we have carried out a practical exploration of the teaching of exploratory composition, aimed at overcoming the above drawbacks, guiding students to explore and experience in the practice of life, with the mind to observe people, events, scenery, things, with the mind to understand life, and learn to pour their own true thoughts and feelings in the composition of the words between the lines, to change the passive writing as an independent participation in the practice of exploration, creative writing, to show the composition of the life of the original color.

Second, the implementation of exploratory essay teaching features

Exploratory essay to modern educational thinking as a guide, from the student's life needs to life as a source of essay, close to the actual students, into the student's life, bow I guide the students from their own learning life, social life, the natural world and the development of human beings themselves to select the problem or topic, in order to explore the method of active acquisition of knowledge, application of knowledge, problem solving and carry out They can apply the knowledge, solve problems, and practice writing. The whole comprehensive composition training will be the students' life needs, language and text training and students' psychological development organically unified, so that life and composition, composition and inquiry into one, so as to comprehensively improve the students' composition ability and language literacy.

Exploratory essay teaching promotes students' individuality, strengthens students' life practice, focuses on students' cooperation and exploration, in practice, we should focus on reflecting the following characteristics:

1. highlight the status of the main body of the students whether to become the main body of the teaching is a watershed of modern education and traditional education. The level of students' composition depends largely on the student body's interest in composition and the degree of play of the main role. Therefore, exploratory essay teaching should take students as the main body, fully believe, respect students, help students to establish confidence in essay writing, stimulate students' interest in essay writing, give full play to their subjective initiative, so as to realize the transition from passive essay writing to independent essay writing.

2. Strengthen the practical experience of language extension and life extension is equal, composition is the reproduction and reflection of life. Therefore, in the teaching of composition, through practical activities, to expand the space of composition practice, enrich the students' life and language accumulation, in guiding the students to produce a rich emotional experience, so that the students "my hands write my mouth, my hands write my heart".

3. Focus on cooperative inquiry inquiry essay can let go of students' individual independent inquiry, can also be a unit of cooperative inquiry, inquiry group members have a clear division of labor between the tasks, both in their respective roles, but also collaborate with each other, so that the students' spirit of inquiry and collaborative ability to be cultivated in the process of inquiry essay.

4. Advocating personalized composition is the most personalized learning and creative activities. In the students' composition, teachers should actively encourage students to write a profound emotional experience, rich inner world, and cultivate the ability of students to write on their own.

Third, the practical exploration of exploratory composition teaching

We carried out exploratory composition teaching according to the students' life reality and learning psychology, combined with the advantages of Linhai's unique humanistic environment. In the first semester, the main theme of the "environmental protection" as the content of the exploratory essay teaching, the purpose is to let the students in the teacher's guidance, from near and far, from easy to difficult, the initial mastery of the general process and methods of practical research, the initial learning to write exploratory essays. In the second semester, we let students independently carry out practical investigation, give full play to students' ingenuity, to carry out the "Linhai local culture" as the core of the menu inquiry essay teaching, achieved remarkable results.

1. "Environmental protection" as the content of the theme of exploratory essay teaching

Environmental protection is the most interesting subject for students. According to the characteristics of the students, we first asked them to think about, collect around the issue of environmental protection, students are interested in, actively participate. After focusing on sorting out, we **** developed the "campus environmental health survey" "Linhai City, citizens' hygiene habits survey" "spring (fall) tour, what should we do". "What's wrong with the water in Donghu Lake", "Lingjiang River is crying", "The garbage can's voice", and so on 16 sub-topics. Teachers on each topic should be how to explore, as well as how to write exploratory essay, etc., to do the necessary guidance. Then we let students choose their favorite topic, set up an inquiry group, and carry out practical inquiry. After a semester of practice, we have achieved a number of materialized results, there have been 12 students' compositions published in the Taizhou Evening News, Small Temple Poster, Window of Composition and other newspapers and magazines.

2. "Linhai 3 ~: 3 - culture" as the core of the menu inquiry essay teaching

The second semester, we carried out the "Linhai local culture" as the core of the menu inquiry essay teaching. The basic method is: teachers and students *** with the development of the theme of inquiry, around the theme to develop a number of alternative "menu" - called, the topic, around the small topic and then developed a number of "small menu" --small topics, and then let the students freely form an inquiry group, choose the "menu", formulate a program, carry out investigation and research. A semester, we around the "Linhai local cultural development research" this "main menu", *** with the excavation of the development of a lot of small menu (see table below):

"menu" practice inquiry, greatly stimulate every student The desire to explore, in this free world of inquiry, they are free to explore on their own, planning the development of a better future in Linhai, a strong sense of social responsibility invariably be fully nourished.

In short, the inquiry essay teaching change students passive learning as independent participation in research and exploration, creative writing. Through the practice of inquiry, it greatly improves the practical ability of students to identify and solve problems, cultivates students' sense of cooperation, scientific attitude and good social responsibility and sense of mission, and promotes the overall improvement of students' ability to write essays and language literacy.
