After reading the student's "So-and-so" essay, the teacher hesitated and finally wrote down two words
A junior high school Chinese teacher who was coping with her students' feelings after reading came across a situation that made her feel embarrassed. Originally, correcting the weekly diary was a relaxed form of pen practice, but this time the student's weekly diary was transformed into an essay on the after-reading feelings of "so-and-so".
The teacher has always had a habit of correcting weekly notes, even if they are not related to the topic of the essay, she always tries to give comments related to the essay itself. However, the content of the essay this time made her feel embarrassed.
The student's essay was about "So-and-so", and the teacher said frankly: "I saw the student's feelings after reading "So-and-so" after reading "So-and-so", and I didn't dare to comment on anything else. The teacher seemed to be using the word "don't dare" to express his embarrassment. Perhaps she worries that criticizing students for not writing well may discourage them from writing and damage their self-esteem.
However, if a student is praised, the teacher may feel reluctant. Obviously, the teacher is not very satisfied with the student's choice of this kind of subject, but he has not yet figured out how to communicate with the student.
What makes the teacher even more difficult is whether she should remind the students not to write if they encounter a similar topic or a big essay in the future, or should she pretend not to know?In the end, the teacher only wrote a sentence in the comment, "Homework should be neat and tidy", which only mentioned the neatness of the homework, and did not involve the content of the essay at all.
For the specific content of the students' compositions, the little author used the word "beauty" to evaluate the plot in the book, calling it the emotional "heartbeat" of the two teenagers. There is another sentence in the essay that is very crucial, that is, the book tells me to work hard, to persevere, to be kind. Although it is a weekly journal, this essay expresses the student's attentive attitude towards the assignment;As a small essay after reading, although it is not outstanding, it is also decent.
Students take the ** itself as the starting point, express their own feelings, ** the positive impact on themselves, through the combination of narration and argumentation, so that the book and reality are skillfully integrated, and finally there is emotional sublimation, overall, it is still good.
The teacher's question sparked a wide discussion. There are two main points of view: one is that many students are now familiar with this kind of ** and know a lot about some **, which is a ready-made composition material for them, and whether students can choose materials from it;The second is whether the teacher should explicitly tell the students that they don't want to choose this kind of material.
A fairly rational attitude was presented in the discussion, and there was no obvious bias.
Most of the voices in the comment section tend to think that it is better not to write such an essay. Since the student has chosen this topic, he must have felt that he could write about it, and perhaps even proud of it, thinking that he had demonstrated his bravery and personality. However, this is precisely the problem, students are still young and narrow-minded, and it is easy to mistake niche choices for unique personalities and express them regardless of the occasion. However, such an expression can cause embarrassment in future retrospectives.
A netizen recalled his adolescence and said that he felt embarrassed when he looked back on it now. At this age, it's easy to see one's own opinion as the only one that is right, but as you grow up, your opinion matures.
Another student also expressed his caution about this type of composition: "I also like to read it, but it really can't be written into the composition, the written language is too pretentious." There are many others who hold this view.
When asked whether the teacher should tell the student directly, most people think that it is best to be clear about the big essay and the exam room essay, but it is better to choose to communicate privately. A netizen said that she understood the teacher's feelings, and she thought that "it doesn't work", because she had similar students in her own class, and she didn't pay too much attention to it at first, and as a result, the students even chose similar topics in the essays for the exam. After several reminders, the student gradually stopped. But even if it is explicitly stated, it should not be directly blamed**, let alone denied students' hobbies, so as not to discourage their interest in reading.
Some argue that teachers can pretend not to know to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
In the evaluation, some people also remind students not to think that the teacher is targeting something or biased. Some teachers are genuinely concerned that they may have more experience and insight than their students. Therefore, it is hoped that teachers should pay attention to their wording when communicating with students, and have a gentle attitude, because students with strong reading preferences tend to be more sensitive in their hearts and should be more cautious in dealing with them.
