Urgently seeking the short story of geography teaching in junior middle school.

"Teacher, what do you think of my painting?"

I came back from another class and just put my book on the table. Before I could wash my hands, an introverted girl from Class 7 and Class 3 came to see me later. I was so shocked that I thought a fairy had fallen from the sky.

"Girls who love geography will have good logical thinking ability." I first praised her enthusiasm for learning, and then affirmed her map of western Europe, pointing out that the outlines of the Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Peninsula were not true.

During the seventh class, I sat in front of the computer to modify the content of the courseware. She came to me again and said, "Teacher, I've finished filling it out. Please take a look at it for me."

I took her homework paper and looked at her place name. According to my request, I filled in: 1. Latitude position: Draw two parallel lines. 2. Land and sea location: fill in the names of oceans, straits, bays, islands and peninsulas. 3. Topography: Fill in the names of plains and mountains. 4. Climate: Use appropriate legends to indicate the climate type and show it in the drawing. Only the position of the mountain is not shown.

So, I communicated with her: in the map, the mountain can't just write text notes, but also use symbols to indicate the position and general direction of the mountain. What symbol do you think the teacher uses to represent mountains on the map during class?

She understood: teacher, I know. And then quietly left.

After she left, my colleague told me, "She loves studying geography. Although she didn't stand up to answer questions in that class, she answered all your questions in a low voice and listened attentively. " What my colleagues said moved me very much. Moved by the heart and efforts of a little girl. I believe she will have a bright future.

Painting is my weekend homework for four classes. This semester, if there is not much homework on weekends, I will arrange drawings for students. Spatial distribution is the core of geography. Let the students draw by themselves, and they will be deeply impressed by the natural environment they have learned.

Because the geography homework of this class has been handled almost, when preparing lessons in the afternoon, I assigned weekend homework to the class representatives, two classes painted Africa and two classes painted Europe. (Because the order of teaching content is different) During the break of the sixth class, the little girl in Class 3 has drawn the outline of the western European continent, and her enthusiasm for geography learning touched me very much. After all, geography is a non-entrance examination subject, and students don't pay much attention to it. Because of this, how to arouse students' enthusiasm in geography class has made my teacher think a lot.

The content of geography study this semester is world regional geography. The study of regional geography is actually the comprehensive application of geographical principle knowledge in different parts of the world. So we can take this opportunity to make up for the students' lack of knowledge about principles (that is, the first textbook) again.

In order to improve students' interest in learning, I will use two or three minutes between classes to draw a map in advance. When I talk about a new lesson, let students fill in the map and show them the map. Considering that some students are introverted and have poor grades, they can study independently well. So, let them make their own filler albums. Some students are extroverted and like publicity, so I set up a learning platform for them to fill in different place names on the blackboard. When they are immersed in writing, I will patrol the students and judge whether they are right or wrong in drawing. Although the teacher is very tired, I think this way provides students with different personalities with more interest in learning. Private individual guidance not only protects students' self-esteem, but also impresses them. I am confident that a semester's persistence will always change.

But in less than a semester, I saw a very good scene: half of my classmates made great progress in reading and fingering. A quarter of the students have improved their ability to read and analyze maps. What makes me more happy is that the girls in Class Three are more interested in geography study, such as Yu Yueran and Cheng. A class of boys, such as Shi Licheng, have significantly improved their motivation to learn geography. You can tell from their attentive eyes in class. (Among them, girls in class 3 have poor grades, and boys in class/kloc-0 have the worst grades. )

I always thought that it was meaningful for teachers' teaching behavior to influence more students. After reading some educational books, I have a deeper understanding of education. As Zhang Wenzhi said, education is a slow art, and it is effective to influence everyone. As long as you persist, you will always see what you want to see.
