Tutoring Topic: Analysis of the Theme of Knowledge in Life
Imagination is the process by which people process and transform existing mental images to create new ones. Existing knowledge, experience, and abundant mental images form the basis of imagination. To enhance one's imagination, it is first necessary to enrich students' knowledge and mental image reserves. Knowledge and experience do not just come from books; much of it also comes from life. The cultivation of intelligence does not occur solely through problem-solving or specialized training; frequently paying attention to small issues in daily life can also help develop our intelligence, nurture our imagination, and creativity. Encouraging students to be observant about life, collect practical tips, and develop a habit of thinking actively will help them gain knowledge, enrich their mental imagery, and promote their intellectual development.
Objective and Requirements:
Through training, enrich elementary school students' knowledge and mental image reserves, cultivate their ability to creatively solve problems, improve their imagination, thinking abilities, and creativity, thereby promoting their overall intellectual development.
Pre-class Preparation:
Selection of examples.
Tutoring Methods:
Lecture method, training method, discussion method.
Operational Process:
1. Introduction to the New Lesson:
The teacher tells the students a story about Xiao Qiang and then writes on the board "Knowledge in Life."
Xiao Qiang is a very thoughtful child who has many clever tricks in his daily life. Once, he noticed a piece of transparent tape stuck to the vinyl floor in his parents' bedroom. He bent down and tore it off but saw that some adhesive was still left on the floor. With a twinkle in his eye, he ran to his room, grabbed an eraser, and returned to rub the adhesive spot a few times, leaving the floor clean. Another day, while practicing calligraphy, he accidentally spilled ink on himself. Instead of dealing with it right away, he continued practicing. After lunch, he took some rice grains, removed his clothes, and started washing under the tap. By rubbing the rice grains on the ink-stained area and scrubbing for a bit, the stain disappeared.
2. Classroom Discussion:
(1) Xiao Qiang has so many clever tricks in his daily life—isn't that great? How can we learn to solve life's problems effectively?
(2) What clever tricks have you discovered in your own life?
3. Classroom Exercises:
(1) When cooking, water is needed. Often, one hand holds the pot while the other turns off the faucet, making the hand holding the pot quite strained. What can be done? (Use thick wire to make a hook that can hang on the faucet's "neck" to hold the pot handle.)
(2) Using a blackboard eraser is both labor-intensive and unhygienic. Can you invent a new type of blackboard eraser?
(3) While cooking, oil must be poured out of the bottle, but after pouring, some oil always flows down the neck of the bottle. Wherever the oil bottle is placed, oil stains are left behind, and over time, the surface of the bottle becomes covered in grease, which is very unhygienic. Can you think of a way to solve this problem?
(4) The wind is blowing, and Mom’s clothes hanging out to dry are about to be blown off. If they fall to the ground, isn’t all the effort wasted? What should be done?
(5) Students have long noticed that teachers always clap their hands after class because they are full of chalk dust, which is very unhygienic. What can be done? Please think of a solution for the teachers.
(6) The teacher’s used chalk only has a small segment left, and throwing it away seems wasteful. Do you have any ideas on how to use it up?
Summary and Suggestions:
1. Participate more in practical activities, learning and accumulating knowledge and experiences in life to enrich mental imagery and develop imagination.
2. It is suggested that the class bulletin board or blackboard newspaper regularly publish clever tricks collected by students to enrich everyone’s knowledge and mental image reserves.
Homework:
Much of the knowledge in life comes from others or books. Please collect three clever tricks from daily life each day and record them in your notebook. You can gather these by reading newspapers, magazines, asking your parents or classmates, and continue doing this for at least a month.
