Teaching experience of expository essays, how to teach expository essays well

1. The basic knowledge of expository reading runs through each text. Before teaching the text, assign a preview and ask students to think about what the content of the expository essay they have learned before, what methods are used to explain it, in what order, and what aspects the author will explain around the center, and then discuss these questions in class. Students will gradually grasp the basic steps of expository reading and develop a good reading habit.

2. Strive to cultivate students' interest in reading expository texts. To cultivate students' interest in reading, textbooks can be used as the mainstay, and extracurricular materials can be appropriately selected. Generally speaking, students are more likely to be interested in expository essays on science and technology, so teachers can choose easier expository essays with a certain amount of interest as the starting point.

As a practical style, expository writing is an important part of Chinese learning at the junior high school level. Because expository essays are mainly a genre of essays that introduce knowledge or clarify facts, and are closely related to students' lives, in recent years, in addition to being presented as a form of modern reading in the middle school examination papers, they have also appeared frequently in the accumulation and application parts, and the form is more flexible and the difficulty has also increased. How to learn expository essays?

I think it can be done from the following aspects.

1. Understand the basic characteristics of the explanatory and expository essay genre.

Teachers can first review the five expressions of narrative, explanation, argumentation, lyricism, and description, and collect typical sentences for judgment, so that students can truly understand the characteristics of each expression, and be able to accurately judge and use them. Then, the three elements of the text are clearly explained, namely, the object and characteristics of the description, the order of the explanation, and the method. Take the typical fragment of trembling hunger as an example for adaptive training.

2. Closely follow the three elements, combine examples and training.

First of all, we should learn to analyze and judge the different characteristics of the explanatory essay and the explanatory essay of the matter, implement the large-unit teaching method, and judge and analyze the example texts of Tongxian in the textbook. The second is to master the three explanation sequences of time, space and logic, especially the understanding of the logical sequence, which is difficult for beginners and requires teachers to guide them. Teachers can select some typical fragments and train them in the order of explanation from the whole to the part, from the phenomenon to the essence, from the cause to the effect, etc.

Thirdly, the application and role of learning explanation methods are studied. This is a compulsory knowledge point in the reading of expository passages in the high school entrance examination, and it must be mastered proficiently. In the process of training, students should not only understand the basic expression ideas, but also summarize and refine the core content of the article, identify the key elements, clarify the design purpose of the propositioner, and achieve comprehensive and accurate expression.

3. Pay attention to the language characteristics of the expository text.

First, understand the characteristics of the language accuracy of the expository text, and experience why the explanatory text must be accurate through examples, such as drug instructions, tour guide explanations, etc. On this basis, we will further experience the two different explanatory styles of plainness and vividness and the expression effects they produce.

4. Apply what you have learned and be able to write simple expository essays.

Teachers can guide students to read and imitate first. Then try to write an explanatory snippet, find a typical example, and appreciate and comment on it. Finally, students will learn to write a complete expository essay based on the actual study and life of students, so as to achieve the purpose of applying what they have learned.
