Bruner, a famous American educator, said: "The best stimulus for learning is interest in the materials you have learned." Interest is the best teacher. Make full use of historical events, grasp their interest, and stimulate students' strong desire for knowledge and strong interest in learning. Practice has proved that a good educational environment is conducive to enlightening students' wisdom and giving full play to their intelligence. The beginning of history class is a prelude to creating a good classroom teaching environment. As the saying goes, "A good beginning is half the battle". If the beginning of the class is well designed, suspenseful and interesting, it means that the class is successful. Based on my own teaching practice, here are some examples of how to add interest to the beginning of history class. 1 Set suspense, increase interest, set suspense, create contradictions, induce thinking, make students have a strong desire to learn new knowledge urgently, stimulate students' interest in learning, fully mobilize students' enthusiasm and initiative in learning, and achieve the effect of improving classroom teaching. Take the lesson "Great Beginnings" as an example. I introduced the new lesson like this: "Students, the 17th National Congress of China was held in 2007. How many people attended the meeting? How many party member represent the whole country? " After the students answered, the teacher then asked, "When and where was the first Party Congress held? How many people attended the meeting? How many party member represent the whole country? " This question, the students' interest came, and they immediately chatted. The teacher said, "You don't agree. Please open your textbook. You will understand after we finish studying today. " Another example is The Outbreak of Total Civil War, which was designed at the beginning of the course.
