I call journaling a moral run. Why? I saw that the students who insisted on long-distance running in spring, summer, autumn and winter, year after year, were healthy, strong and powerful. Is there a way to exercise that, if persevered for many years, will make people healthy, strong, optimistic, and cheerful? I think journaling has that effect. The vast majority of mentally normal people write diaries and tell the truth from their hearts, which plays a role in teaching people to seek truth. The vast majority of people keep diaries to persuade themselves to be motivated and good, and to help others to change.
The vast majority of people praise the ugly and the evil in their diaries, praise the people who are beautiful in their hearts, and praise the beautiful things, which plays a role in teaching people to love beauty to the good.
Even if you have boredom, vent to the diary and write it on it, the diary will not get angry and will not cause unpleasantness to others. Sometimes while venting my troubles and anguish to the diary, I strengthen my sanity, and when I finish venting, I read it again, and the original anger and sullenness are gone unconsciously. It is no wonder that some students call their diaries "silent friends", "most intimate friends", "most calm friends", and "friends with noble character and open minds".
That's why I always tell my classmates that insisting on keeping a diary is insisting on moral long-distance running, and that is making a friend with noble morals, which can make people seek truth, be kind, and love beauty.
Wei Shusheng, "Good Students, Good Learning Methods-Wei Shusheng Talks about Learning Methods".
Insight: I haven't read these passages of educator Wei Shusheng before, but fortunately, as early as more than ten years ago, I insisted on letting my classmates write a "diary", and the effect is very similar to the discussion of this text.
The reason was that I did a psycho-educational project, and the main goal at that time was to let the students write their daily "heart-to-heart wishes" to understand their inner world, and then find out psychological problems from them and do targeted psychological counseling.
The success of the research project has brought about a major "by-product" - children fall in love with writing and learning Chinese, and many psychological problems are also solved in their daily writing!
So, I have persevered until now, no matter how tight my studies are in the sixth grade, I have to write, and I will not give up in the first grade. In the first half of the first semester, I wrote down what happened in the class and the activities carried out by the school for them to read. In the second half of the semester, students were asked to draw what they saw, thought, and experienced, and at the beginning, they only needed to write clearly "what time and place to do what they were doing, and how did they feel", and then slowly expanded, but by the second grade, many students wrote articles with a clear and emotional depth of two or three hundred words.
Moreover, what happened between classmates, who was in a bad mood, whose ideas were biased, etc., became the most original educational materials. The most important thing is that I have closely integrated being a class teacher with teaching Chinese, with moral education in Chinese and Chinese learning in moral education. Later, he stopped being a class teacher, but he always believed that "teaching" without "education" was "hollow", and moral education without "student growth" could only be "empty preaching".
Here are a few excerpts from the daily "Whispering Star Wishes" of third-grade students
Student Xu: The feeling of "Heart Whispering Star Wish" every day, when I write "Heart Whispering Star Wish" every day, I am very happy, it is the kind of happiness that cannot be expressed.
I usually read extracurricular books before I write. But when I was tired, I said to my mother, "Mom, I want to return the notebook to the teacher." ”
My mother said to me, "Do you want or not?" ”
Be. "You've been writing for so long, are you giving up now? Don't you think the credit for the previous work has been in vain? Isn't it half-to describe it as an idiom? ”
I said, "Okay Mom, I'm not going to give the book back to the teacher." ”
Write "Heart Whispering Star Wish", you can write the one you said you were happy and sad today, write it down, and the teacher also sent us an art book and asked us to write an essay and draw a picture.
The teacher was kind to us, telling us to draw one picture a week, not every day.
Yao: I feel very happy, and I want praise from the teacher. Writing this "Heart Whispering Star Wish" is too simple, it can make my brain smart, but my brain is not smart enough, but my writing ability is too great, you give me a few pages, just write a few pages.
I am very active, every time the teacher brings me the "Heart Whispering Star Wish", I am very happy, every time I arrive, I smile and go to the podium to read. But sometimes I read funny things, and I'm a little shy, so I read them out loud.
I finished reading it, and suddenly, I heard a round of applause, and I was so happy!
Student Sun: I feel very relaxed when I write "Heart Whispering Star Wishes" every day, why is it so relaxed? Today I'm going to tell you how!
When I got home, I finished my other homework first, and by the time it came to "Whispering Star Wishes", I had already thought about it, because I thought about it last night. I do this every day so I don't have to think about it.
