Writing a good composition is difficult.
I’m afraid everyone has an unforgettable experience in composition when they are studying. Whether the words and sentences are quoted, whether the layout of the article is sublimated step by step … … Over time, the composition seems to have a routine.
However, for primary school students, it is not good to have a routine taste when they first learn to write a composition. Let’s take a look at some examples of primary school students’ composition "routines" told by our Chinese teachers.
An 8-year-old child begins by writing "In my life"
Some children in Grade One and Grade Two read a lot of composition books, which not only increased their knowledge, but also learned the prologue of routines and the use of "high-frequency vocabulary".
Teacher Meng of Shuanglin Primary School has a deep understanding. No matter what composition, the beginning of having a child is always like this: "In my life, I have encountered many things, as many as stars … …” "In my life, I have thought of many people, as many as pearls … …” "In my life, I have experienced many hardships, as many as stones … …”
"Son, your life has just begun, where did you get so many experiences and insights?" Every time I meet such an opening remark, Teacher Meng can’t help but sigh. As for the reason, Mr. Meng thinks that children "watch too many model compositions, fail to carefully observe what happens in life, and their thinking is limited."
In addition, there are several "high-frequency words" that always appear in children’s compositions regardless of time and occasion. For example: "wet eyes" and "red eyes". Among them, a first-grade child wrote: I came home from school, my grandmother told me to do my homework, and I finished my homework with wet eyes.
Seeing this, people want to ask: son, why are you so wronged to finish your homework seriously? Is grandma fierce, or is homework too difficult to make you cry?
Waiting for a companion for six hours, just to keep an appointment and go swimming?
Children’s compositions are varied, and some even make up stories with their brains in order to finish their compositions. Teacher Zhong of a primary school told such a story — —
That unit is about "sincerity", and I arranged for the children to write a composition on this topic. The content of a classmate’s composition is: On a hot summer day, two friends made an appointment to go swimming at 1 noon. One of the friends forgot the time because of his fun and didn’t go to the appointment. At 7 o’clock in the evening, this little friend suddenly remembered an appointment, hurried to the appointment, and found that his companion was still waiting in the same place. Therefore, he felt that his companions were sincere and he felt guilty.
Teacher Zhong believes that most of this composition is made up. "This is a society with developed communication, not an era when messages are shouted and traffic is run. Isn’t this child going swimming just to keep his appointment by standing in the sun for six hours without eating or drinking? "
Teacher Zhong reminded us that this story tells us that children can have imagination when writing a composition, but they can’t exaggerate it. Logic is the most basic thing. You should observe more in your life, and you can read composition books, but you should have a wide range of ideas, so you can’t be stereotyped.
More than 10 children saw the little boy "give up his seat" at the same time
There are more than 10 children in a class in a primary school in Chengdu, and the same thing happened at the same time. Teacher Zhang, who teaches Chinese, told her own experience:
The topic of that day’s composition was "Nobleness". Of the 40 compositions I received the next day, more than a dozen were almost identical, and the general content was: Today, I saw a little brother give up his seat to the old man on the No.56 bus, which made me admire his noble character very much.
After reading these compositions, Mr. Zhang can only write a comment without mercy: at the same time, at the same place, more than 10 students saw the same little boy give up his seat to the old man. Children, you must have read the same composition book. Take it back and rewrite it!
There are always shopkeepers standing for days waiting to refund customers’ money.
Teacher Qu, a primary school in Chengdu High-tech Zone, also told an interesting story about propositional composition: "I once asked for ‘ Sincerity ’ Write a composition for the topic. It was the first time that students came into contact with the composition of direct proposition. Originally, I didn’t have much hope. As a result, the composition I received still made me stupid. " In the composition received by Mr. Qu, nearly half of the students in the class have the same routine in their compositions.
The general meaning of the composition is: "One day I went to the grocery store to buy snacks (or stationery) and forgot to change. After two days, I remembered to go to the boss again and found that the boss was still standing in the same place waiting for me with change. Ah, the boss is really a sincere person. " In order to highlight the sincerity of the store owner, some students will also add some environmental descriptions, such as in the wind and rain or under the scorching sun. "Won’t the boss take an umbrella?" "Which store boss can stand for so long? Come to the office and tell me. " Teacher Qu wrote in the comments.
Later, Teacher Qu checked online and found that the students’ routines were exactly the same as the first search result of "Sincere Composition" from Baidu. Teacher Qu reminded parents that children should actively guide them when writing their compositions, and they should not directly check or teach their children to check online.
Besides cats and dogs, is there any other fun in your life?
Teacher Xia from Hi-tech Zone shared her experience in composition teaching. "I left a composition for the students a few days ago — — What pleasures have you found in your life? In class, I gave examples at random to tell students about the fun of keeping pets, such as keeping cats and dogs. As a result, the essays handed in by the students were basically all about keeping cats and dogs, and those who didn’t keep cats and dogs kept small goldfish or turtles. Anyway, the whole class unified the fun of life very tacitly — — Raise small animals. "
Teacher Xia said that this kind of composition was originally open-ended, and each student’s experience was different, so what he wrote should be different. "At that time, I just gave an example casually. I didn’t expect the whole class to quote directly. On the one hand, it shows that some students are habitually lazy and don’t think when writing a composition. On the other hand, it shows that most students are not very good at observing at ordinary times, and there is no material available when writing a composition. " Teacher Xia believes that students must write more compositions and be good at observing life. Usually, they can start with diaries and gradually cultivate their thinking and writing skills.

How to solve the "set" of primary school composition?
■ Li Yunxia, Chinese teacher of Chengdu Tonghui International School.
Writing practice in grade one: "Look at the starry sky, what do you see?" What did you think of? " Of the 41 essays, 17 wrote about the stars blinking in the sky, 12 wrote about the stars like various gems, and several wrote about the Big Dipper like a spoon. What about the imagination of first-grade children? What about the "write whatever you see" that I specifically told you before?
As a primary school Chinese teacher, I can’t help but smile: the composition routine is deep! Before the teacher started teaching routines, the students were taught routines first.
Looking back on these years, I have encountered quite a few composition routines. When I write about my mother, I will get wet when I open an umbrella. When I get sick in the middle of the night, I always carry my child to the hospital myself … … Mothers’ IQ is always not online in their compositions. No wonder they have white hair in their 30s. The red scarf is a necessary prop, whether it is to give up your seat on the bus or return the extra money, the red scarf must fly high at the critical moment.
Of course, it’s no wonder they are. Think about yourself as a student before you became a teacher, didn’t you come over like this? The students of that year, today’s fathers and mothers, must have been passed by.
Pass one set, and the routine will last forever.
What pushes teachers and parents to the routine? This problem is too big, but in short: 1. Lack of rich accumulation. Pupils are young, most of them don’t have rich life experiences, and they don’t have a lot of time to read outside the schoolwork burden, so their compositions lack flowing water. Second, the composition needs personalized guidance. In the classroom, there are many people and time is tight, so the teacher may not be able to teach calmly. Outside the classroom, parents are limited by their abilities and may not be able to guide their children to express themselves individually.
Routine can get immediate benefits, but it stifles the spirituality of children’s long-term development As a Chinese teacher, it is necessary to reflect and improve the composition in primary schools, no matter who practices it. Adhering to the practice of critical reading and creative writing is the foundation, being familiar with children’s psychology, creating activity design as an arm, and making primary school composition dynamic and open. Teachers advocate true composition and expression, and guide children and parents with "truth" as the standard Parents abandon the pretence in adult society, do not interfere or impose, and let their children observe the world and experience life from the perspective of children. When teachers and parents give up routines, children will naturally restore their unruly personality. At that time, who can do routines?
