First, introduce passion and accumulate emotions.
Teacher: Before entering the text, the students will watch a movie clip.
(Click on the courseware: Nanjing Massacre movie clips. )
Teacher: These are some clips from the feature film Nanjing Massacre. Students, when you see this short clip, can you describe your feelings or feelings in one word?
Health: heavy.
Health: It's terrible.
Health: cruel.
Health: Not human.
Health: It's so miserable.
Teacher: Yes, anyone with a conscience will feel sad and tragic when he sees this scene. This pain is not only China's, but also the world's. In World War II, there were more than 10 million people in the face of such slaughter.
Teacher: In Krakujevac, a beautiful town in Yugoslavia, it suffered a devastating and cruel massacre all over the city. Sartre, a famous French philosopher, wrote this passage after visiting this site. (Click on the courseware: Sartre's words. Ask a classmate to read aloud. (Read aloud all my life. )
Teacher: From this passage, what words can you find that Sartre focuses on expressing his impression?
Health: it hurts.
Health: Heavy memories, good memories.
Teacher (heavily): Yes, our hearts should be heavy. Because there were 300 children in the massacre, it was cold gunfire calling out to the children for their dear parents. How heartbreaking. (Voice choked) Today, we will follow China writer Nie Hualing to relive that heavy and beautiful memory.
Second, read aloud freely and grasp the content of the article; Repeat the key points and grasp the emotion of the text.
Teacher: Students scan the text quietly and quickly, and summarize the four parts of the article.
(Students silently read and summarize. )
Health: the first one is what you saw and heard in the cemetery; The second is to describe various performance commemorative activities; The third is the symposium of record writers; The fourth is to extract the last words.
Teacher: Any objections? (All beings agree. )
Teacher: Very well, this classmate's summary is very accurate, which shows that everyone has mastered the content of the full text. From these records, can you see which are heavy memories and which are good memories? First, the students look for it in the article, then the four-person group cooperates to exchange their reading results, and recommends a student to speak on behalf of the group.
Health: The Nazis killed many people, especially 300 children. This is a heavy memory.
Health; I read that "the V-shaped stone tablet symbolizes the class of the murdered child ... the last place to call is for my dear parents." I feel very sad in my heart. They are younger than us.
Health: They also killed ordinary workers. This memory is heavy.
Health: What they wrote before they died made me feel that they died pitifully.
Health: At the end of Sartre's speech, I wrote "The moment when I was killed by the enemy". I think "national heroism" is a beautiful memory in Sartre's heart.
Health: I think that teacher is very beautiful. He is not afraid of death. He is very brave. (Many students agree. )
Health: and those last words, they all love their families very much, which is very beautiful.
Teacher: Your speech was wonderful. Facing the fascist butcher's knife, the Yugoslavs would rather die than surrender. They are not traitors to the nation, nor do they beg for mercy from the executioner with their strong love for life. They showed "the courage of the whole nation", which is beautiful and admirable. This is really a wonderful memory.
[14] Teacher: The writer Nie Hualing also came to this memorial site. She watched the memorial performance, attended the writers' forum and visited the memorial hall. In the process of attending the commemorative activities written by her, which plot here impressed you the most and why?
Student: What impressed me most was what the teacher said: "Shoot! I will give the children the last lesson! " This is the teacher's declaration at gunpoint. He was brave and fearless, and taught the children the last lesson with his own life, so that everyone would always remember the ruthlessness and cruelty of fascism. (Applause)
Health: I agree with him too. I think he wants to tell the children that although life is so painful and worthless, we should warn people at the cost of blood that we should love peace and our motherland, rather die than surrender and oppose war.
Health: What impressed me most was the sincere call of "Dear Mom and Dad" issued by 300 children when they faced death, which deeply shocked my heart. What a sincere call, it is a heartfelt call that makes people cry. (Applause)
Health: What I feel most is that those children are still thinking about their dear parents, relatives and friends before they die. Although I am thinking about some trivial things, it is enough to express my feelings for my parents and relatives. I think it's very touching. We are a little indifferent to our parents on weekdays. Looking back now, how uneasy we are! I don't think we should wait until we die to know the priceless affection with our parents. (Silence for a moment)
Health: I think it is very impressive to compare the Yugoslav massacre with the Nanjing massacre. 300 thousand people died in Nanjing. This inhuman behavior makes us feel that Germany and Japan are too cruel and have great sympathy for the dead, especially women and children. They are innocent.
Health: I learned a lot from the conversations of these famous writers. Among them, as a German writer, he was saddened by the heinous crimes committed by his motherland and burst into tears. His behavior is beautiful. The Japanese are much worse, and they are still arguing.
Teacher: Yes, we can't ignore that there are still people who are unwilling to face up to history and are still defending aggression. But most people have a clear attitude, right?
Health: Many people shook hands with German writers, and people forgave him.
Health: I started with "no need". The comparison between him and his friends in West Germany is a good refutation. "In short, you can imagine that no one will pay attention to the Japanese at the meeting. There are students whispering in the class. )
Student: Teacher, I also want to add something. Every year, many people come to commemorate it, which shows that they have not forgotten history. There is "forgetfulness" under the thirty-seven faces. No grudges, that's right. However, we must not forget. "That Japanese only remembers his own pain, but forgets the pain he brought to others. This is forgetting history, which is selfish. China people mentioned the Nanjing Massacre here, not for revenge, but to let future generations know that peace was hard won and make the Japanese feel ashamed. (Applause, applause. )
Third, explore emotional experience from multiple angles.
Teacher: Your speech was wonderful. There are still many students who seem to be wanting more and eager to try. We will communicate after class. Yes, the great proletarian revolutionary Lenin once said, "Forgetting history is betrayal." When we remember this period of history, we should remember the profound lessons that history has brought us. Nie Hualing also made such a strong appeal in his article. Please find such words from the text.
Students find a row and communicate. )
Health: On page 37, "Serbia's resistance to violence and its insistence on freedom are the aspirations of generations", "Yugoslav Serbs express their sense of history year after year: no hatred, no anger; Only sadness, only memories, only warnings, there will be no more wars and massacres in the world. " "This is a historical fact. But how many people remember? How many people in the world know? People are forgetful. No grudges, that's right. However, we must not forget. "
Teacher: ok, students read these three paragraphs together and understand the author's feelings from the text.
(Students read the last three paragraphs of the second part on page 37. )
Teacher: I have finished reading this article. What is everyone's mood after reading it? Students can talk about their ideas from different angles.
Health: We want a peaceful world. Love peace, but also remember history, so that the tragedy will not repeat itself, better grasp the present and grasp the future.
Health: I read in the history books that the Japanese not only invaded China, but also pursued the policy of ignorance, that is, "If you want to destroy its country, you must destroy its history first." I didn't understand its meaning at first. Now I really realize that forgetting history means betrayal. Whoever denies the past risks repeating the same mistakes.
Health: I think of children in Iraq from the article. Seeing their bloody faces on TV and holding guns at such a young age makes me feel terrible, and I am glad that I live in a happy and peaceful environment. It's good. I will definitely cherish it more.
Health: I want to appeal to President George W. Bush: Stop fighting and get out of Iraq. Your soldiers are pathetic, too. (Applause thundered and there were cheers. )
Fourth, make good use of materials to sublimate the emotion of the text.
Teacher: Yes, the trauma brought by war to people's hearts, the pain brought to the country and the disaster brought to the world are all bleeding wounds that can never be healed. Next, I want to show the information collected by my classmates and feel the writer's strong call for a happy life and a peaceful world more deeply.
(Students click to play the floppy disk or projection materials and explain them appropriately. )
Student: (Reading notes) This is my diary after watching CCTV's "Exploration and Discovery" program about Japanese troops. Before, I only knew that there were 73 1 troops in Central China. After watching the program, I realized that there are six more than 60 bacteria factories in most of China. They killed more than 40 thousand Hong Kong people with carbuncle in Guangzhou, and some people were disabled because of foot rot caused by bacterial infection. The scar is really terrible. However, some Japanese still deny this history and revise textbooks, which is simply inhuman.
Student: (showing pictures) This is my online NJ1937.vianway.com; Pictures of the Nanjing Massacre downloaded from websites such as www.909.com.cn/731/731tp.html. This is really a bloody fact, and some people actually deny it. In front of the mirror of history, the Japanese are ugly. He also let me know that if I fall behind, I will be beaten. We should arm our minds with wisdom and technology to strengthen our country.
Health: (I learned from the newspaper) These are some reports about the Japanese invaders poisoning people in China the other day. More than 50 years later, they can still kill people, which is terrible. From the situation of those poisoned people described in the newspaper, we can imagine the horror of countless people poisoned in China that year. There will be no more war, which has brought human suffering for too long.
Health: (movie "A Beautiful Life" clip) Dad told his son that it was a game, in order not to hurt his young heart and not to let his son know how bloody it was.
Health: (CCTV Iraq War Report Title) At that time, I only thought that its commentary was well written, and the combination with the music picture made my heart tremble, so I asked my father to record it.
The teacher finished the class at the screening. )
Teacher: I know there are many materials prepared by students, so I won't show them here. Although we live in a peaceful era, there are still many places in the world where cigarettes are sold. Mothers are crying in pain, children are crying in horror, and those eyes with sadness and longing seem to shout to us: don't fight, defend peace. Students, I hope we are all defenders of peace, love life, cherish life and cherish our hard-won peace and happiness.
