How to improve the critical thinking ability of high school composition teaching

To make your high school Chinese essay speculative, here are some suggestions:

1.Choose the right topic: Choose a topic that inspires food for thought and controversy, such as morality, ethics, social issues, or human experience. Make sure that the topic has variety and complexity, which will provoke the reader to think.

2.Putting up opinions and arguments: Clarify your point of view and provide strong arguments and evidence for it.

Use reasoning, metaphors, examples, or quoting the opinions of authority figures to support your arguments. At the same time, it is also necessary to understand and consider different points of view, and demonstrate their critical thinking skills through comparison and rebuttal.

3.Develop argument logic: The argument should have a clear logical structure, following the basic structure of the introduction, background information, main body paragraph, and conclusion. Each paragraph should have a clear topic sentence and arguments and examples to support the topic sentence.

4.Show your own opinions and thoughts: Express your own opinions in your essays and add your own thoughts and feelings. Demonstrate critical thinking skills by asking questions, reflecting on the impact on the topic, and coming up with new perspectives.

5.Use appropriate language and style: Use a variety of vocabulary and sentence patterns, combined with rhetorical devices to enhance expression. Avoid vague, patterned language and give your essay a personal touch and uniqueness.

6.Evaluate and revise carefully: Double-check that your argument is logical, has enough evidence to support it, and considers multiple points of view holistically. Revise your essay to make it more critical and ensure that your grammar and spelling are correct.

In short, a critical high school Chinese essay needs to provide in-depth thinking, independent thinking, and the ability to observe and prove one's own opinions from multiple perspectives. By applying the above skills and guidance, you will be able to demonstrate a higher level of critical writing.

The so-called speculation means to have thinking and discernment, to look at the problem comprehensively and analyze it in two; In writing, "discernment" should be embodied by "debate".

In recent years, college entrance examination essays have basically been topic essays. The college entrance examination essay proposition is quite speculative. In order to write this kind of speculative essay questions well, it is difficult to write well without a certain degree of thinking ability and ideological and cultural accumulation. How to improve students' critical thinking skills?

Method 1: From shallow to deep, improve the quality of thinkingMany candidates are not completely "ignorant" when writing speculative essays, but lack the depth of thinking. In the analysis of a problem, we often draw conclusions only after seeing the superficial phenomena, do not analyze the internal causal relationship of things, and only know what it is, but do not know why, so that the idea of the written article stays on the "what", ignores the in-depth excavation of the "why", and lacks the pre-Wang speculation.

This is a common problem in the composition of general candidates.

In today's China, especially Shanghai, which is "one year at a time, three years with great changes", everyone is busy! As for the candidates themselves, they are busy studying day and night, busy with revision; As for the leaders of the countries in the world and the daily management of all opportunities, enterprises and businessmen in market competition, experts and professors in academic research, as well as soldiers, people's police, workers, and peasants, they are all busy. Obviously lacking some in-depth rational thinking, but there is a liberal arts candidate who did a good job and gave people a "sobering agent":

The article uses the proposition of "Na Ruo He" to directly express his views on "busy" without concealment. The little author is not simply "busy" or not, but "helpless". This realization is a reflection of the common psychological contradictions of people today:

It's not okay not to be busy, but it's lost a lot when you're busy. What is commendable is that when the author laid out the phenomenon of "busyness" before repentance, he made a profound reflection on the spiritual food needed for people's growth, made a euphemistic criticism of the loss of traditional culture and morality of the Chinese nation, and expressed infinite yearning for the beautiful realm needed for the purification of people's souls. The whole text makes good use of short sentences and whole sentences, and is thorough and powerful; Narrated in the tone of prose culture, it is natural and full of changes, rational and poetic, giving people awakening and thinking.

Method 2: From this to the other, open the "window" of association

Association is to start from the requirements of the essay topic, and understand and grasp the connotation and characteristics of the topic. After reading the proposition, candidates may wish to think about what real-life examples are similar to the facts mentioned in the proposition, and if they can quickly and accurately cite two or three typical examples, the first step will be done. Of course, in order to avoid resemblance and dissimilarity, we can put the content of the topic material.

My future is not a dream.

When it comes to my future is not a dream, everyone will naturally think of Zhang Yusheng's song "My Future Is Not a Dream". However, the dream that Zhang Yusheng pursues in the song is the pursuit of an unexpected tenderness and the persistence of love. What I want to say here is that our ideals and beliefs are not dreams.

When it comes to the future, everyone has their own beautiful ideals, and the ideal flower in their hearts will bloom. I believe that there are as many ideals as there are people here. Some ideals are engineers, some are teachers, some are doctors, and some are scientist......sI also have my own ideals, that is, to be a person who can contribute to the motherland and society!

Our ideals are beautiful, and she guides us to pursue them with hope; She yearns and envies us with beautiful reverie. On the road of life, pursuit is our motivation, and yearning gives us strength. As long as we work hard, everyone will definitely say:

My future is not a dream.

I appreciate Zhang Yusheng's song "My Future Is Not a Dream". I don't deny his ideal of love, which is to appreciate the effort put into pursuit in the lyrics. "I don't care what people say, I never forget my promise to myself.

I guessed every minute, and my heart was moving with hope. ”

Life is like a runway, you have to rush forward all the time, if you don't keep running and give up halfway. Well, the winner on the podium can never be you. We are eager to have the call of the halo ribbon, but also to pay the fatigue and blood and sweat in the hardships and hardships.

As long as we persevere, work hard, struggle, and go all out to pursue the dream in my heart, we can realize our ideals.

I believe that fate is fair to anyone, and as long as I work hard, I will definitely be able to achieve my dreams. My future is not a dream.

The first is to write new ideas, and the angles chosen are new and deep enough.

First read the topic and then, it's up to you to accumulate.

I. Formulation of the problem.

Let's first look at a set of college entrance examination essay questions: "The agility of the water, the calmness of the mountain" (2004 Jiangsu), "Basket Spring to see the mother" (2007 Anhui), Poetic life" (2007 Hunan), "What, nothing" (2012 Jiangxi), why is this, why can't it be like this" (2013 Anhui), analyzing these topics, we will have an interesting finding: the topics in the past few years have focused on lyricism, and the topics in the past two years have focused on argumentation and speculation.

The same is true of Shanghai, which has always led the direction of the national proposition, from "must cross this hurdle" in 2007, "they" in 2008 to "everything will pass, everything will not pass" in 2011, and "more important things" in 2013, all of which have followed this change. This change is not random, nor is it accidental. There is reason to believe that this change will continue in the next few years.

The reason is that it conforms to the development of the times and reflects the needs of the times. As the French thinker Pascal said: "Man is a thinking reed", and rational thinking is an important sign of the maturity of human thought.

Whether it is studying at university or entering society, rational thinking is particularly important. Therefore, in the entrance examination, universities use essay questions to test students' rational thinking ability, which can be said to be a pertinent move.

However, what does not correspond to this requirement is the actual level of writing of students at the moment. Due to the influence of students' inherent writing habits (narrative and lyricism are the main focus in junior high school), their own experience (not deeply involved in the world) and the social environment (impetuous), it is also an indisputable fact that high school students' rational thinking ability is weak. Problems abound such as examples, substitution of narratives, and vague reasoning.

Of course, we can't sit idly by, and we can make a difference without changing history. Let's start with understanding the connotation of rational thinking and the specific requirements of rational thinking.

2. The connotation and specific requirements of rational thinking.

Speculation is a philosophical term that means to think and analyze. Thinking refers to thinking activities such as analysis, reasoning, and judgment; Discriminating refers to the discriminating analysis of the situation, category, and facts of things. From a philosophical point of view, rational thinking is also dialectical thinking, and from the perspective of writing, it requires students to think and analyze problems from the perspective of things as a whole.

Specifically, rational thinking in high school discussion has the following three main requirements for students. First, we should look at things from an objective and comprehensive perspective, and avoid generalizations. It should focus on relevance, rather than monotony; Think long-term, not the present. Second, the focus is not only on discovering the problem, but also on seeing the real problem reflected in the problem, finding the root cause and providing solutions.

Third, the analysis of problems should not only be logical, but also dialectical and divergent, good at changing angles, and good at reproving right and wrong.

First of all, the number of college entrance examinations has increased dramatically, and every year the number of candidates in each city has reached tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, which undoubtedly brings a lot of pressure to high school students, but the learning experience and social experience of each high school student are similar, and the composition education model received is also the same, which causes the composition of the vast majority of high school students to be mostly similar. What's more, a grading teacher has to read a large number of essays every day, and in a short period of time, seeing so many similar assignments has caused aesthetic fatigue, and it is difficult to get better scores for essays in similar formats. If you want high school students to get higher scores, you need to train high school students in their thinking.

In addition, the cookie-cutter composition not only brings aesthetic fatigue to high school students and teachers, but more importantly, it seriously suppresses students' creativity and uniqueness, which is a huge problem in today's society. High school students who lack creativity will lack more advantages than students with creative thinking and unique thinking, and it will be difficult for them to make more progress in college and even society. This strongly requires the development of the uniqueness of students' thinking in the teaching of Chinese composition in senior secondary schools.

1. It is to carry out certain thinking training and set up a simple logical thinking course. This is conducive to high school students to be more logical in Chinese writing, so that the arguments and arguments of the argument are more authentic and reliable, so that the narrative essay also has a certain logical framework, so that the form is scattered and the spirit is not dispersed, so that the lyrical composition can also be expressed in simple terms, and the personal feelings of high school students can be better expressed.

2. It is to strengthen the training of students' divergent thinking. For example, in the classroom, the Chinese teacher can carry out a topic **, so that students can freely diverge their thinking, supplement the explanation at any time, and exercise the students' thinking ability. This point is conducive to high school students not being limited to a few single points of view when writing college entrance examination essays, but can interpret the topic from different angles, so as to choose a more novel point of view and attract the attention of college entrance examination marking teachers.

3. It is to strengthen the training of dialectical thinking for high school students. The most essential point of dialectical thinking is to see the essence through phenomena, and strengthening the training of this point is conducive to high school students to write their essays with more content, rather than talking about them in generalities, not only has no new ideas, but there is no more content worthy of in-depth thinking. The training of dialectical thinking is conducive to making high school students' writing more in-depth and full of charm, which will also have a great impact on high school students' future writing.
