Kindergarten picture book activity design

Design Intention

One day, like a masquerade party, all the animals were forced to wear strange clothes. Now they are in trouble - you see, the sheep already has long hair, but they are made to wear such a thick and bloated sweater. It is so hot that it almost faints from heat stroke; the mouse is detained in Under a hat decorated with flowers and fruits, it was undoubtedly a terrifying forest that it could never get out of; the elk's antlers hooked the suspenders of its overalls, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not wear them. Put on those light green pants...

The picture book "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes" depicts for us such scenes of animal life that make people laugh and cry. It makes you laugh when you read it. However, under the lively and funny appearance, there is a real sadness hidden: animals are forced to change their living habits, lifestyle, and living environment, and are even forced to wear human clothes. Through such a seemingly funny story, the author actually wants to tell us the truth - never violate the laws of nature, otherwise it will be a disaster!

Teacher: By the way, clothes can also change us and make us beautiful.

Commentary

Using "clothes" as the topic introduction not only cuts into the topic, but also is close to the children's life experience. It not only has the effect of getting straight to the point, but also prepares the experience transfer in the next link. bedding.

2. Migration discussion: Are animals suitable for wearing clothes?

Young 1: Can wear clothes, but puppies can. The clothes look particularly cute.

If they felt it was inappropriate, they would put an "×". If they were not sure, they would put an "O". But remember, whether you agree or disagree, you have to give reasons. (Children find friends, group, discuss, and record.)

(4) Children communicate with each other in groups and give reasons. Teacher record summary.

Commentary

Aristotle said: Thinking begins with doubt and surprise. From the migration of human clothing to the doubts about whether animals can wear clothes, the children actively participated in the group discussion with questions. In the selection of animals in this link, because the original picture book has a lot of content, I used " Based on the design idea of ??"point - total", we consciously selected several animals that are familiar to young children as objects to allow children to participate in the discussion. It not only gives children a topic to discuss based on their actual experience, but also stimulates their interest, laying the foundation for the complete appreciation of picture books in the next link.

3. Picture book appreciation: "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes"

(1) There is a person who firmly disagrees with animals wearing clothes. This person is named Judy Barrett. Now, let's take a look at the story she wrote - "Animals Should Never Wear Clothes" and enjoy it together.

(Play the PPT and lead the children to fully appreciate the story.)

(2) After listening to the story, please tell me why she objects to animals wearing clothes?

p>

(The living habits of animals will stain their clothes; they will bring trouble to the lives of animals, such as snakes and hens; they do not need to wear clothes at all; if they are the same as the clothes worn by humans, they will feel ridiculous.)

Commentary

Interesting scenes unfolded one by one in the teacher's narration, and the funny scenes made the children burst into laughter. The author uses her humorous but unswerving tone to tell everyone a profound truth: no matter what, animals should never wear clothes, because animals have their own, natural clothes-fur. "The real and natural ones are the most beautiful." Just imagine, if I presented the picture book completely at the beginning of the activity, the author's thoughts would completely block the children's experience and thinking, and there would be no room for group debate.

4. Life Extension: Have you ever seen animals wearing clothes?

(1) Teacher: So in real life, have you ever seen small animals wearing clothes? Where did you see it?

Young 1: Pet puppies and kittens can wear clothes.

Child 2: The little animals performing in the circus also wear clothes.

(2)Teacher: Why do people put clothes on them?

Child 1: Some small animals are afraid of the cold in winter.

Child 2: Adults like puppies and kittens very much and treat them as their own babies, so they put clothes on them.

Child 3: The little animals in the circus wear clothes to perform better.

Young 4: In fact, the little animals in the circus are also very pitiful. If they don’t perform well, they will be beaten.

Teacher: Yes, you see, in life, animals wear clothes only because people force them to wear them in order to "look good". They are not what the animals want to wear themselves. This kind of violation We do not approve of animal behavior.

Comment

The topic seems to have turned back. Just now, I was saying that animals should never wear clothes, but now the child said that he has actually seen animals wearing clothes in real life. This seems to be a contradiction, but if you look into it carefully, why do these animals wear clothes? It is nothing more than humans imposing their own preferences on animals, forcing animals to wear clothes, and win the favor and pleasure of humans with nondescript images. This It is an artificial change to the living environment and living habits of animals, and is not worth promoting.

5. Experience improvement: The role of animal fur

(1) Teacher: In fact, animals should not wear clothes. There is another important reason. Let’s take a look at it together.

(Lead the children to appreciate the protective colors of animals through the video and understand the role of animal fur.)

Teacher: It turns out that the fur of animals can not only keep warm, but can also use protective colors to avoid enemies. So although it is fun and cute for animals to wear appropriate clothes, we still do not advocate animals wearing clothes. Because they have their own natural clothing - fur, which is their most natural, beautiful and useful clothing. Therefore, we not only stop putting extra clothes on them, but we also work hard to protect their own fur.

(2) Nowadays, some people are killing animals cruelly and peeling off their fur to make clothes, leather bags, and leather shoes. As a result, there are fewer and fewer rare animals in nature, and many animals are on the verge of extinction. So from now on, we children must learn to care for small animals, protect small animals, and be friends with animals together, okay?

Analysis

Perhaps, until this link Before, the children were immersed in the fun and funny emotions brought by picture books. However, in the clips of quietly appreciating the protective colors of animals, the children felt the real and cruel reality - such cute animals bring us Infinite happiness, the little creatures that make our lives colorful are actually facing the threat of extinction. A kind of love and righteousness arise spontaneously, and the emotion of "cherishing animals and protecting animals" takes root and grows in the young hearts.
