Interspersing students' favorite games or activities in classroom teaching can improve students' analysis and comprehensive ability of historical knowledge, broaden students' information channels for acquiring historical knowledge, enliven the atmosphere and increase interest.
First, talk about the history around you.
At the beginning of each class, arrange a 5-minute topic to speak freely. The history of wearing on the body, the origin of surname evolution and the trace of characters are all the contents. For example, students can talk about the costumes of the Tang and Qing Dynasties, and they can also talk about the evolution of hats and the development of shoes. The development of human beings has the shadow of history everywhere, and students are interested in talking about such topics freely. According to the teaching progress, design a discussion topic every week, so that students can find relevant content from the internet and books, make preparations in advance, and then bring it to class for communication. Students' personal participation and experience shortens the distance from historical facts and can have a sense of closeness to relatively dull history learning. This activity can lay a good foundation for the teaching content and naturally introduce new knowledge.
Second, guess the mystery of history.
At the end of the study or during the study, playing proper word games according to the teaching content can not only review and consolidate historical knowledge, but also make students feel relaxed and happy. For example, solve riddles on the lanterns: Xiang Yunlu (a masterpiece of ancient history in solve riddles on the lanterns and China)-Historical Records; Good news (guess a peasant uprising leader)-Chen Sheng; Wang Nanyue (guess the ancient scientist)-Zhang Heng; After the finishing touch, fly through the wall (guess a historical map)-dragon totem; Unwilling to fight hand-to-hand (guess a historical war)-the battle of Ningyuan; Knives and guns are put into storage, and horses are put in Nanshan (guess the name of a historical army)-Taiping Army; Always unambiguous (guess a historical time noun)-late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Riddles can be done by teachers and students together, or by students individually and in groups. Teachers and students can guess each other. With students' interest, it can also be developed into extracurricular activities and carried out on a large scale.
Third, write historical couplets.
Some interesting couplets are interspersed in teaching, so that students can not only gain knowledge, but also feel the humanistic feelings and the endless interest of Chinese language and writing. For example, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, a couplet circulated in Chengdu. The first couplet consists of the names of three countries, and the second couplet consists of the names of three cities. Namely "China and Japan; Nanjing Chengdu ". This couplet is unique, reflecting the ecstatic atmosphere of China after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory. Students are required to complete couplets (China, Czech Republic, Japanese, Nanjing, Chongqing and Chengdu). When students have an appetite, the class immediately becomes lively.
In addition to stating beautiful couplets, asking students to supplement couplets and asking for couplets, students can also be guided to try to write historical couplets with their own unique views according to the learning content, so that history teaching can truly achieve "historiography" and "literature" and kill two birds with one stone.
