Take the child into the "surprise" poetry classroom

Over the years, I have been holding a classroom and have read a lot of poems and poems with students. Read the writing of modern poetry. Students are also scattered, and they are in grades in the second to sixth. Someone is curious: What kind of modern poetry can elementary school students write?

Adults have a long history of arrogance and prejudice to the children's world. I think this is due to the arrogance and self -closedness of adults. You know, the natural enemies of literature and art are clichés. Mr. Zhu Guangqian believes that "the words of poetry must be fresh." Where does this "fresh" come from? This is to return to the origin of "what is poetry".

"Poetry and words", "Poet, what he is aspirations, in mind, speaking as a poem. Poetry is a place where ideology and feelings are galloping. The emotions in my heart are stunned, so the characters are expressed. Bai Juyi also said in the "Book of the Yuan Jiu": "Poet, root feelings, Miao Yan, Huasheng, real meaning."

Of course, this is the lyrical tradition of classical poetry words. For modern poetry, choosing the appropriate words and boldly expressing the inner voice. As long as it is the moment of thoughts, feelings, and emotional state of the moment, it can be written into poetry.

Just as the Austrian poet Hans Yinisha wrote in a small poem--

Looked up

Open window

Breath

Exhale

that is

A poem

For those who are new to poetry, poetry is born in surprise and has the power of creation.

Poet Lan Lan wrote in "How to Be a Poet": "Dear children/Writing poetry are actually easy/today's homework is the most incredible of the game against the game, who is the poet!"

Look, how amazing! Children's bragging can be written as a poem, why can't ridicule?

I said adults, children's humor should not be ignored or underestimated. It was between laughing here, imagining it, poetic. Therefore, writing poems with children is not as difficult as everyone thinks.

I set up a community that dedicated to reading poetry and poetry in the school -Xingxing Tongshi Poetry Society.

When it comes to "poetry", children think of ancient poems, and the easiest to blurtle is Li Bai's "Jing Ye Si". However, when this classic ancient poem is translated into English, and then translated back, it changes to--

Moonlight is sprinkled on the window paper

A layer of frost on the ground

Look up

Watch the day of the day

Think down and think about

Think of the hometown in the distance

I smiled and asked the children: "Do you still know this poem? This is" State Night Simp ", what's the difference with everyone?"

"Some sentences are long, some are short, not so neat."

"I don't emphasize rhyme."

"There are more sentences."

"The artistic conception is different."

This is modern poetry, because it is more free, so there is more space. Therefore, modern poetry is more suitable for modern children. The British poet Yinnino Fagin wrote in "What is Poetry":

Rose is not a poem,

The aroma of roses is the poem;

The sky is not a poem,

Tiantu is a poem;

Flies are not poems,

The bright flash on the fly is the poem;

The sea is not a poem,

The breathing of the sea is the poem;

I am not a poem,

That makes me see the meaning of the meaning that I can't express some prose ...

Poetry is not a concrete description of something, but a deep gaze for it. You need to capture your emotional flow in the moment, as surprised as at first. As the poet Sun Wenbo said, "the so -called poetry skills are based on insight." In order to deepen this impression, I took the students to read the Syrian poet's "Guide to Traveling in the Syndrome" and continued to explore the characteristics of poetry language. Everyone read softly and exchanged the poems that they liked each other. Some seemingly understandable, some of them, but they were brave and hard to feel the implicit meaning in the verses.

In the poetic class, I will not take students to seek a standard answer like doing reading comprehension questions. Instead, I try to say the impression of the present. As Milan Kundera said in "Living elsewhere": "In the picked territory of poetry, everything is truth." This is exactly the charming place of poetry.

When the emotions are awakened by the poems, when the thoughts are broken by language, the door of the poetry hall slowly opened, and the children seemed to see the magic of poetry through the narrow door gap.

The toddler of the young child of poetry starts from imitating the poetry of the big poet. "Children's heart is poetic heart", childhood innocence is the source of romantic poetry heart. We entered from our daily life, with a variety of paths, and the flowers and birds on the road have achieved a clumsy poem in the child's writing.

A humble poet must have a proud poetry and infinitely believe in the things in his writing. That is the projection of the scene in the heart. Even if we are a little naive, even if we fall down, we still ignore it, go forward, and finally achieve a "colorful poetry classroom", which is a greater universe.
