Second, teaching reflection:
In the above teaching, I found some problems, put forward the following improvement plan and summed up the teaching experience.
Problem analysis:
1. Students' ability to understand the main idea of the text needs to be improved, and there are still some confusion and uncertainty.
2. Students' grasp of the details in the text is not accurate enough, and their answers are biased.
3. Students' understanding of how to get inspiration and experience from stories needs to be improved, and their thinking is not broad enough.
Improvement plan:
1. Guide students to make predictions before reading the text, guide students to pay attention to the first/last paragraph and the title of the text, in order to get the main idea of the information.
2. Remind students to make marks in the reading process to ensure accurate grasp of details, such as color marking, circle drawing and other means.
3. Guide students to think and explore at a deeper level, for example, remind students to think about the theme in the text, the characters in the story and their behavior, so as to draw conclusions and Revelations.
Summary of teaching experience:
1. When designing classroom exercises, we should focus on the main content and objectives of the text, and pay attention to testing students' understanding of the details, themes and Revelations of the text.
2. Guide students to learn through independent thinking and exploration, stimulate students' learning interest and internal motivation.
3. In the teaching process, try to use a variety of teaching methods and media means to increase the interaction and interest, and improve the teaching effect.
