篇3:小学英语情趣课堂读后感作文
全文共 917 字
+ 加入清单再次翻开姚xx老师的这本《小学英语情趣课堂教学》时,说心里话真的是很痛苦,像是下了很大的决心。过了两个月的无拘束、无压力的生活之后,发现静下心来做一件事很难,尤其是读书。因为是王老师给我们下了死任务,只好硬着头皮去读。事实证明:有压力才会有动力。这句话说的一点儿也不假。我重点研读了本书的第六章。本章节向我们展示了一些优秀的情趣英语课堂教学设计与课例,精心的教学设计,精彩的教学预设,无不体现了编写教师的独具匠心。设计中体现了人文主义,从教学目标到教学过程,都很巧妙地将传统的“要我学”转换成了“我要学”。
第一部分以北京师范大学新版小学英语教材四年级下册第十单元 Mc’s stre 6个课时的教学内容为例,展开基于情趣教学思想想的教学设计。阅读的过程中,可以看出编写教师非常细心,把课堂上的每个细节都处理的很到位,包括课堂的一些预设,生成。这一单元是一个阅读课,一提到英语阅读,我的脑海中就是bring, difficult。纵观这六课时的教学设计,教师借助插图、对话,并通过肢体语言、声音、多媒体资源、设置有效情境,挖掘文本固有的情趣,给予学生适时的语言支持和铺垫,帮助学生理解语言,理解故事。一步步地帮助学生把握技巧,培养他们的阅读能力。成功地把阅读变成悦读,使它真正地变成一种乐趣。在今后的阅读课上,我会尽力效仿,使它变得不枯燥。
第二部分是姚老师本人执教的展示课例。就像姚老师所说“情趣教学着眼于对学生学习兴趣的诱导”。在教学设计上,教师立足于激发学生的学习情趣,并通过多媒体资源,为学生呈现多个自然又生动的教学情境。另外,姚老师的板书设计给了我耳目一新的视觉体验,能够立足于文本内容的同时,重难点突出,也符合中年级学生的认知特点。
读罢此书,心中感慨万千,作为教师,很佩服姚老师的那份执着,以及对教学认真的工作态度。相比之下,我是差太多了。在教学设计上,我也要有所创新:
1.导入部分需要为所学内容做铺垫,不能华而不实。
2.适当地体现小组合作的魅力,锻炼学生的语言运用能力。根据学生的能力,在适当时机把主动权交给学生,充分关注学生的主体意识,激发学生主动参与的热情。
3.注重教学设计的整体性,连贯性。

篇4:喜欢读书作文小学生
全文共 568 字
+ 加入清单我爱看书
我没有什么特长,却有一个爱好——看书。
下课,我爱自己坐在座位上看书;回家完成作业,我爱坐在沙发上看书;放假,我爱窝在家里看书。我对书的热爱已经超过了我对任何事物的热爱。
我家虽不像藏书阁,我看上去也不像充满书卷气,可我看的书却不少!恐怖故事类、侦探推理故事、童话类、幽默类的书籍,我可是照单全收!
我们班的语文老师专门为我们买了国际大奖小说系列,让同学们可以随时借阅。我在50多本的国际大奖小说中已经借阅了40多本呢!
有一次,我借阅了《女水手日记》,女主角陶雪洛将我带入了“海鹰号”。我仿佛感到我正站在“海鹰号”的甲板上,听着大海的呼喊;望着海鸥在海面上方自由飞翔;任凭海风吹拂着我的脸庞,挑起我的发丝。
读到雪洛遭遇飓风时,我好像听到了飓风的咆哮,“海鹰号”的呻吟;好像感到要被这突如其来的飓风吞噬。让我身临其境。
读到雪洛要为自己没有做过的事情负责、忍气吞声时,我不禁为她感到委屈。突然,感到头好像被打了一下,一阵微微的疼痛,我被这阵强烈的感觉拉回了现实。“叫你那么多次都不应,桌子叫你整到现在还没整好!你耳朵到哪里去了!”我低下了头。回想起刚才,我不禁感到自己做了一件傻事,笑出了声。
书,是沙漠中的一片绿洲,让你看到希望;书,是一眼清泉,浇灌你我心田;书,是一盏明灯,为你照亮前进的道路。
读书积累知识,知识开启智慧,智慧成就未来!

篇6:我最喜欢的食物作文300字
全文共 299 字
+ 加入清单上作文课的时候,老师问我们平时喜欢的食物有哪些,我们都抢着回答。不过,我们每个人说的都不一样。老师说有一种食物既营养又好吃,还很漂亮。红彤彤、金灿灿、碧绿碧绿的。有的同学说是苹果,有的同学说是西瓜,还有的人说是汉堡。老师摇摇头,然后在袋子里拿出三根葱、一个西红柿还有鸡蛋。我们都懂了,原来是西红柿炒鸡蛋。
老师决定带我们去厨房做“西红柿炒鸡蛋”。首先,我们把葱和西红柿洗的干干净净;然后,把鸡蛋敲碎放进碗里,用筷子搅拌均匀倒进锅里;最后,放西红柿和一点盐,撒上葱花炒一下就可以出锅了!菜炒好了,我们把它吃的一点渣渣都不剩,大家都觉得这道菜太好吃了。
这是我吃过最好吃的食物啊,柔嫩松软,香得让人流口水。
篇7:我喜欢看童话小学作文
全文共 685 字
+ 加入清单童话对于我们来说并不陌生,是伴随一起长大的玩伴,青梅竹马,形影不离;直到有一天,当我们开始在人生道路上飞奔,无意间回首,发现我们已经遗失了他,原来他一直在原地微笑注视却不曾前进,只是我们不可避免地选择了长大,作文 童话。
在去看《阿童木》之前,我一直在犹豫,因为阿童木最终死去,而童年的我却在那时候感到无比的不安和压抑,甚至那种让人无比压抑的心情始终伴随在我的左右,直到现在。还好,最后是大团圆结局,感谢导演解决了我一个不大不小的心结。
接触的第一本童话对于今天的我来说基本可以用刻骨铭心来形容,那种无法控制的绝望情绪将童年的我几乎推进深渊,原本天真地认为王子公主,英雄美女的理所当然被击得粉碎,取而代之的是无尽的勾心斗角,尔虞我诈,背叛、欺骗和杀戮;那种震撼至今难忘,甚至现在偶尔想起来还有些后怕,小学三年级作文《作文 童话》。
理想的毁灭比肉体的毁灭更让人觉得不可接受。
所以一直以来,我总是将自己包裹得很好,仿佛蚕茧般光滑和无害。不愿意自己去伤害别人,也不希望自己被别人所伤害。
其实那时的我并不知道,我看的不是童话,而是现实。
我在那时候还是不可救药地看上了一本书,名字叫做《童话大王》,舒克、贝塔、皮皮鲁、鲁西西成为我成长中不得不提及的名字。至今我都没想明白,作为两兄妹,他俩为什么不是一个姓?
其实童话大王里所写的故事基本都是以现实为背景的,在里面有正义,更有邪恶;所幸的是看过之后并不是教你要如何去战胜邪恶,而是教会你,这个世界上并不是所有的事都如童话般的美好,你能认识到,就够了。如果有时间,我真的希望能再读一下那些让我曾经无比感动的故事,重温那份让人感叹无比的童真。
篇8:小学关于我喜欢太阳花作文
全文共 463 字
+ 加入清单大家一定见过很多种花,有兰花、美人蕉、荷花等,当然也有大家各自喜欢的花,而我喜欢的花是美丽的太阳花,接下来我就给大家介绍一下美丽的太阳花吧!
太阳花的小叶子很有趣:细细的,长长的,还有点厚,像一根肉乎乎的针。太阳花也很美,她们有时穿着白色的裙子,有时穿着红色的衣裳,还有是披着粉色的或紫色的风衣……真是五彩缤纷,绚丽夺目啊!
太阳花的花瓣有很多,而且有好几层,那些花瓣柔柔的,薄薄的 ,像一层半透明的轻纱做成的美丽的衣裳。虽然她看起来很娇弱,让人不忍心去碰,可我还是忍不住好奇,轻轻的摸了一下,感觉那些花瓣摸起来很舒服,很滑很软。每当太阳出来的时候,它就舒展开那五彩的花瓣,尽情的展示它的美与娇;当太阳下山了,它就合上花瓣,进入甜甜的梦乡了。
每当烈日炎热的夏季到来时,几乎所有的花草都要无精打采的,不想抬起头。然而这片太阳花却在恶劣的环境下,坚强的站了起来,展示着自己的妩媚,在烈日下更加光彩照人,绚丽多彩。
我之所以喜欢太阳花,是因为它让我看到了它每天崭新的花蕾开放的样子;让我看到了它不畏酷热,傲然挺立的精神!
啊!我喜欢太阳花!

篇10:我最喜欢的小动物小学生优秀作文
全文共 602 字
+ 加入清单一身洁白又柔软的毛,小小的鼻子上衬着一双水灵灵的小眼睛。叫声又娇小又动听,走起路来静悄悄的,还不时地摇晃着它那一条尾巴,既俊俏又可爱。这,就是我最喜欢的小动物——猫。
我家养了一只可爱的小白猫,它十分温顺,却又十分顽皮。有一次,妈妈买了一个花瓶,搁在了桌上。小猫咪盯着它看了半天,还不时发出“喵喵”的叫声。突然,它一个箭步“冲”了过去,在花瓶边上,似乎在细细打量着它。它时不时更凑近些,嗅嗅这花瓶。还不停地围着它转个好几圈。忽然,只听“嘭”的一声,花瓶碎了。原来是小猫不小心把它碰倒了。此时,小猫又惊又怕,早已溜到了床下,“喵喵”的叫声又微弱了许多。
它虽然调皮,但有时是非常可爱的。在我们围坐在一起吃饭的时候,它会独自呆在一旁,默默享受着它的“大餐”,等吃完了,又开始在我身旁“散步”了。它似乎很无聊,却让我感觉十分可爱。
都说猫是老鼠的天敌,我却不这样觉得。我家的猫不但不捉老鼠,似乎还有一点怕老鼠呢!晚上,它总会在黑漆漆的屋子里走来走去,似乎没有一点点睡意。当老鼠出没的时候,它突然跑回属于自己的那一块领地,闭上水汪汪眼睛,一会儿就睡着了。
每天,我都会抽空来陪它玩。有时我会扔一个球过去,小猫也会“自觉”地把它捡回来。在与它玩耍的过程中,我十分开心,我感到了人与动物之间的友谊。不知小猫是怎么想的,我猜,它一定十分开心吧!
看!这就是我最喜欢的小动物——猫,怎么样,可爱吧?

篇12:我喜欢游泳的小学生作文
全文共 421 字
+ 加入清单我第一次去体育中心的游泳馆的时候,还不敢下水。只要爸爸一松手,我就会喊救命啊,救命啊。我浮在水上不过3秒我就沉下去了,幸好爸爸用手把我从水里托了上来,否则我就沉下去了。水是恒温的,很干净,春夏秋冬都可以游,因为每隔6个小时就换一次水。
我第二次去体育中游泳馆的时候心扑通扑通地跳,害怕沉下去。爸爸对我说:你只要有勇气,你就不用怕。我一直把爸爸这句话铭记在心里.慢慢的开始游动,但我还是有点小紧张,爸爸游到离我两米的距离我就先试着放松心情,过了一会,我就往水里一扑,双手往两边游脚成蛙泳的形状慢慢的在水里游动,向爸爸游去,终于游到了爸爸的身边,我高兴地抱住爸爸。爸爸不断的增加距离,我也不断的游 。过了半个小时,我竟然游了12米。走的时候,我对爸爸说:爸爸,下次我要游一条水道25米。爸爸说;好,期待你下次游泳的表现。
我通过游泳明白了一个道理,就是一直坚持,就会取得最后的成功。

篇14:我喜欢上作文课小学生作文
全文共 684 字
+ 加入清单许多人一听到“作文”二字就会觉得枯燥乏味,要下笔时脑袋空白不知到底要写什么?以前,我也是非常害怕写作文,但对现在的我来说,写作文只要一提笔就像行云如水,写来十分得心应手。
自从进了小学以后,每次上语文课就要练习写句子、写短语,当时的我不知道为什么要写这些,所以每次都只是草草了事,不想花太多时间在练习上。不过升上三年级以后,我慢慢了解到习写句子的重要性,因为这些句子的习写,可以让我这辈子最讨厌的、我最害怕的“作文”开始有了不一样的改变。在老师的督促下我们不断的练习习写,再一次一次的切磋,一次次的琢磨以后,我的作文渐渐变得活泼生动,加上老师不时的称赞,更让我在写作文时自信满满。写作文,不但能够把自己的想法,透过文字,一字一句表达出来,畅所欲言。也不用担心要直接面对别人的情绪起伏,而且话一出口就很难收回,有时说错话,还有可能会造成口角,不像文字表达,可以再三斟酌修改。
上作文课时,老师会深入浅出的为我们讲解题目,一旦我们有听不懂的地方,老师就会再讲解一次并且更深入的解说题目的涵义,一再提醒写作时要注意的事项,避免不合题意,使我们更容易写作,真是谢谢老师的用心引导。
在写作文时,偶尔会发生一些有趣又好玩的事。有一次,在写作文时,安安静静的一点声音都没有,连一根针掉下去都可以听得清清楚楚,这时有人的铅笔盒“锵”的一声掉了下去,顿时引得大家哄堂大笑,因为那位同学坐在最后面,捡铅笔盒时,还被老师很狠的瞪了一眼。
其实写作文真的没有想像中那么难,只要肯用心认真的去思考,经由一次次的练习,就可以写出一篇篇优美的作文。我喜欢上作文课,希望你也可以和我一样徜徉在这美好的天地。

avoided giving performance in front of so many people. Though I tried hard to
get over it in school, I still felt uneasy in the public place. When I came to
the job market, I realized that I must get over my fear, or I would lose my
stage.
I still remembered the horrible experience for my first interview. Early in
the morning, I got a called that I was given a chance to the job interview. I
felt so excited. When I came to the company, I found there were other six young
people competed with me, then I started to feel nervous. The employers asked us
to sit in the round table and introduced ourselves one by one. When it was my
turn, I lowed down my head and spoke in low voice. Then the employers continued
to let us give speeches in the stage. I lose confidence and made the horrible
performance.
This interview taught me a lesson that I must get over my fear, or I will
lose chances. So I practise hard and dare to stand in the stage.

+ 加入清单我喜欢小白兔的绒毛,白花花的,好像一块柔软舒适的毛毯,摸一下就爱不释手。
小白兔的眼睛非常奇异,它是红色的,好像一颗亮闪闪的红宝石。我问妈妈:“小黑兔眼睛是黑色的,小灰兔眼睛是灰色的,小白兔眼睛为什么却是红色的呢?”妈妈对我说:“小黑兔身体有黑色素,小灰兔身体里有灰色素,而小白兔的身体里没有色素,那是它血管的颜色。”
我听了以后恍然大悟,没想到小白兔的身体里还有这么大的奥秘!
我觉得小白兔的尾巴是最有趣的,它就像一个小棉团一样。它真像传说中那样,乌龟把它的尾巴咬得只剩下了一个毛茸茸的小圆球。
小白兔它什么都怕,有时候假如你扔一片菜叶,它也要躲一躲,等到它确定你走后才敢回来吃。可是他又是那么的勇猛,有时候闯一闯树丛,甚至邻居家的猫来了,它也敢斗一斗。
小白兔吃饭的时候 最有趣。见到了合它口味的蔬菜,它便一下子冲到那里去,张开自己的三瓣嘴,一点一点地品尝着可口的蔬菜。当你仔细观察,你会发现,它吃饭时,那奇怪的三瓣嘴和那只有几根的胡须一颤一颤的,那样子可真有趣。
它也非常淘气,假如你把它放在草坪上,一会儿,你回来找它的时候,它就已经无影无踪了。可是,正当你焦急万分的时候,它又从树丛后面跑出来,扑到你的腿上。
小白兔可真是太惹人喜爱了。

篇20:关于科学家的英语作文小学
全文共 1837 字
+ 加入清单Here is a difference between science and technology.Science is a method of
answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical
problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between
observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to
organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with
tools,techniques, and procedures for implementing the findings of science.
Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the
progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who
seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of
accuracy and certainty, cannot pay heed to their own or other peoples likes or
dislikes, or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists
discover may shock or anger people--as did Darwins theory of evolution. But
even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the
option of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology;we do not have
the option of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic
aircraft-flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe
polluted air. Unlike science, progress in technology must be our slave and not
the reverse. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve peopie--people in
general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who
presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.
We are all familiar with the abuses of technology. Many people blame
technology itself for widespread pollution, resource depletion and even social
decay in general--so much so that the promise of technology is obscured. That
promise is a cleaner and healthier world. If wise applications of science and
technology do not lead to a better world, what else will?
