Warm-up

Have you ever heard of these stories
Which story do you like best
Can you tell them to your partners
后羿射日
后羿在的时候，天上有十个太阳，烧得草木，庄稼枯焦，后羿为了救百姓，一连射下九个太阳，从此地上气候适宜，万物得以生长。他又射杀死了猛兽毒蛇，为民除害。民间因而奉他为“箭神”。后来，“后羿射日”这一典故，用来比喻为民除害，也用来形容勇猛善战。
后羿射日
后羿射日的故事出自江苏省射阳县。为纪念后羿射日，射阳建成地标性建筑——中华后羿坛和著名旅游景点——后羿公园。根据“射阳”县名的来历及“后羿射日”的传说，在公园入口处设置八面景观墙，上置八个石球，与不远处的“中华后羿坛”遥相呼应，寓意后羿射下九颗太阳，降福人间。
女娲补天
传说水神共工与火神祝融大战。经过殊死搏斗，共工大败一头向擎天柱不周山撞去，竟将擎天大柱撞折了，霎时天塌了个大窟窿。天地相通，脉气失常，洪水泛滥，大火蔓延，人类陷入灾难之中。
女娲补天
女娲为了解救人类，决定采石补天，用五色石把天补起来，再用东海神龟的四只脚顶住苍天。五色石不够用，大洞还没补好，慈悲的女娲只好牺牲自己的生命，用身体来补天上的大洞，天地间恢复了宁静，还出现了五彩云霞。一切生物又都生机勃勃地活在大地上。
女娲为人类和世界万物的生存而献身，真是令人感动。
