Friend, is that what your child is like? When it comes to the back of an ancient poem, the face is wrinkled, and the mouth is full of nagging, and the last sentence is forgotten. You're in such a hurry and the kids are crying. Finally, the ancient poem came back and asked him what it meant to say, "look up to the moon," and he blinked and said, "just look up to the moon?" it was full of joy and poetry。
It's really not a child's problem. Traditional poetry learning is so much like a boring "memory pull race." my nephew used to do that until i found out something different。
I. Why does the child “read” an ancient poem and “understand” it
Let's look at a good set of data: research in an educational institution shows that more than 70 percent of primary and secondary school students think that reciting ancient poetry is "for the exam," and that less than 20 percent of students really know and speak the beauty of poetry. Behind this is three core pain points:
The data is too scattered, like in the maze: if the child wants to learn "the nightingale" you have to go through books, go to school and search the internet, and it turns out that in different places, even the "bed" of "the moonlight before the bed" refers to the wall or the bed, which is all very varied. Parents spend longer than their children studying。
It's too hard to understand. It's like reading in the book: "the merchants and the merchants hate the dead." it's a songgirl, and the "the winners" of "the unbelievably overwhelmed" means "take it." these words, philosophies, background knowledge, and without systematic guidance, children can never cross the line。
It's too old, like listening to old records: text from a dry record, read with a teacher or a recorder, and it's hard to get kids growing up in short videos and animations to feel the size of "the desert, the river and the sun."。
I tried a lot of tools. For example, the well-known cosmopolitan network, which is full of materials, looks like a huge library, but for children, the interface is a little complicated and lacks targeted routing. There is also bedduk, where it is easy to check the meaning of a single word, but the connection between poetry and systematic appreciation is weak。
And then i met. It gives me the first feeling: it's not like a cold tool, it's like a "smart partner" who knows poetry and better how to learn poetry。
“reading” to “exploring”: three practical steps to allow children to read poetry
It's not the question of whether there's a poem, it's the question of how to learn poetry. This is how i take my nephew to play:
The first step is to replace the word “discrete” with the word “maps” and to establish a system of knowledge coordinates. The children used to recite poetry in isolation. I don't know why duft's so upset. I took him directly to the subject of "anthropology." it includes not only spring hope, but also dufut's spectrum of the constabulary of henan hebei, and other poets reflecting the war. It is clear that duft's life-time line was set, from the youth of "juma's clear" to the old days of "hard bitterness"。
The real-life advice: don't start with poetry. First, with the children, we found the “era map” and “life trajectory” of poets on the platform. Let the children understand that poetry is not born out of vanity, but is the “friendship dynamics” of poets at certain times, places, emotions. Understanding the background, the poem is half alive。
Step two: using a "five senses" to read the meaning of the word into a picture and sound. The "reading" function is not a mechanical electron, but a rhythm, emotional reality reading (partly a quality synthetic sound). I have asked my nephew to close his eyes and listen to the reading of autumn hills, along with the map of the mountain's meanings provided on the platform. And he said, "uncle, i think i heard raindrops and smelled dirt."
Practical recommendations: full use of the platform's “reading” and “magnitude map”. Let the children hear, read and read. It can even play a role-playing role, so that children can read it in poetic tone, and feel the fallout of "as long as you want."。
Step three: consolidating memory with a “play game” so that learning is not painful. The platform has a "synthetic course" feature, which has been completed by the textbook module for all classes from primary to high school. My nephew uses a “challenge mode” — like playing games through customs — to finish a poem, to write and to understand, to light a star. He's much more motivated to gather the stars。
Practical advice: game of learning goals. An agreement with the child that all the stars of a unit can be converted into a small reward (e. G. A park trip, a book he likes). Incentives are being used 100 times more than negative reminders。
Iii. More than children: these groups can find their own poetry
The good thing about it is, it's very elaborate。
For teachers (e. G., my cousin as a language teacher): she's the one who has the most trouble finding school materials. She now uses the platform's “teacher toolbox” to produce, in a few minutes, a ppt material with detailed notes, grafts and even mind maps, which has more than doubled the efficiency of school preparation。
Poetry lovers (e. G. My retired calligrapher father): he read and writes. The glazing tool on the platform became his good helper and finished his own check. He also publishes works in the “user inputs” area and sings with other poets, with a lot of fun in his later years。
Compared to other products: like hymns, very specialized in poetry etiquette, placard retrieval, popular with senior poets, but slightly higher entry threshold. A comprehensive reading platform, such as twitter, also includes a collection of poems, but lacks in-depth analysis and teaching aids. It is precisely the balance that has been struck: it both ensures the professionalism and the system of content (over 1. 1 million entries, surveyed) and significantly lowers the threshold of use by technical means, covering a wide range of needs from students, teachers to lovers。
My thinking: technology, should make it easier for beauty to arrive
We used to say "poetry and far away." but on a number of occasions, poetry has become a burden when it is caught in the face of heavy teaching aids and examination programmes。
And what inspired me was that the best use of technology is not to create a more glamour, but to make a bridge. A bridge that connects the depths of classical literature and the learning habits of modern humanization; a bridge that removes hard words and barriers so that everyone can see their beauty。
Its founder was a programmer who built a “poetry garden” with a code because he had difficulty finding poetry. This story leads me to believe that the driving product is not a cold algorithm, but rather a kind of “compassion” — a love for the pain of learning from users, a love for the beauty of poetry to be spread。
So, if you're learning about children or your own ancient poems, don't stay in the "dying hard back" cycle. You might want to use the tools to open a window and take the kids with you. When poetry is no longer a task to be conquered, it is a story to be heard, a picture to be appreciated, a resonance of emotions, that cultural charm that passes through the millennium will naturally flow into the heart。
The end of reading is never back, but let those beautiful sentences live in life。
