The original text and teaching plan of "animal laughter" in lesson 17 of the first volume of seventh grade Chinese.

# Lesson Plan # Introduction An Animal's Joke is a popular science work with vivid details and humorous language. The author described the process of his own animal science experiment and the details of harmonious coexistence with animals in humorous language. Between the lines are his love and appreciation of animals and respect for life. The following content is ready for your reference!

I seldom laugh at animals, sometimes I laugh. Later, I always find that I am actually laughing at myself, or it is because some funny appearance of animals is similar to talents. We always stand in front of the monkey cage and laugh, but when we see caterpillars or snails, we don't feel so ridiculous. If we think that the behavior of the male goose pursuing the female goose is ridiculous, it is because we have done many ridiculous things ourselves when we are in love. No experienced observer will casually joke about the strange behavior of animals. Every time I see people going to the zoo or aquarium standing in front of an animal that has become grotesque because of evolution, I feel angry; I think they are actually mocking something sacred-the source of life, the mystery of creation and creator. I don't think the appearance of color-changing lizards, puffer fish or anteaters is funny. Every time I see them, I feel a sense of surprise.

However, I have also laughed at some funny things that happened unexpectedly, although such a smile itself is as stupid as the irritating smiles of those people I just mentioned. When I first got an amphibious fish named "periophthalmus", I smiled: because one of the fish suddenly jumped out of the tank-not jumping out of the tank, but lying on the side of the tank, turning its pug-like face and staring at me with its big protruding eyes, motionless.

Think about it: this is a real fish with a spine, gills and fins, but it "sits" on the edge of the water tank like a canary and points its head at you like some animals with regional concepts. It's really not like a fish. What is particularly funny is that it also looks at people with two eyes, and even birds don't stare at things with such eyes; Owls always appear in stories as "wise men" because of this feature. However, the appearance of the fish at that time made people laugh, because it was just like a person and had nothing to do with its own image.

When studying the behavior of higher animals, some wonderful things often happen, but the protagonist of laughter is often not the animal, but the observer himself. When they deal with highly intelligent birds or mammals, they often need to disregard their own dignity. Therefore, we really can't blame some laymen for criticizing the absurdity of scientists' methods of studying animal behavior. If it weren't for my reputation as harmless to people, I would have been put in an insane asylum. After I tell a short story, you will understand why all the residents in Edmonton think I am crazy.

For a while, I was doing the experiment of water duck, trying to explain the long-standing question in my heart. The problem is this: the goose that just hatched from the artificial incubator always recognizes the first creature it meets as its mother and follows her wholeheartedly; However, water ducks are different. All chickens raised in artificial incubators are always extremely shy and inaccessible. Every time they come out of their shells, they run away quickly and hide in a dark corner nearby, refusing to come out. What is the reason?

I remember once I gave a bunch of duck eggs to a musk duck to hatch, and the duckling ran away as soon as its feathers dried. I had a hard time getting them back. Once again, I let a fat duck on the farm hatch her eggs, but the little ones followed her happily as if she were their own mother. I guess the key must be the cry of the mother duck, because from the appearance, both domestic white ducks and musk ducks look very different from real water ducks; However, the voice of white ducks is the same as that of water ducks-this is because domestic ducks on farms were originally domesticated by wild ducks. In this domestication process, the feather color and body shape of wild ducks have changed greatly, but their names remain unchanged.

Therefore, I have come to a fairly clear conclusion: if I want my little daughter to follow me, I have to scream like my mother. "He hung a bell around his neck and shouted Cleisthenes. The calf thinks he is a cow. " Bush's poems are a portrayal of this situation.

So I set about doing this experiment at once. On the seventh Sunday after Easter, I put a nest of duck eggs to be hatched in an artificial incubator. As soon as the chicken hatched and its feathers dried, I learned the call of the female water duck and kept calling. Sure enough, these ducklings are not afraid of me at all this time. They looked at me with trust, crowded together and let me leave with them crying. My guess is completely confirmed: the newborn chicks only have an instinctive reaction to their mother's crying, but they don't know what their mother should look like; As long as it can bark like a mother duck, whether it is a fat Beijing duck or a fatter person, it becomes their mother.

However, this substitution cannot be too high. At the beginning of the experiment, I crawled in the grass like a duckling, and then I gradually changed to a sitting position. However, once I stood up to take them away, they stopped moving; Their little eyes anxiously explore everywhere, but they don't look up. Soon, they screamed and cried like abandoned ducklings. Therefore, in order to let them follow me, I have to squat, which is naturally quite uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the female water duck has to keep barking. As long as she forgets to sing "Ga Ga Ga Ga" for half a minute, her neck will be elongated, just like a child's face. If I don't stop screaming now, they will scream. As long as I don't make any noise, they think I'm dead, or I don't love them anymore? This is really a reason to cry!

Ducklings are different from geese. Little ducks have endless demands on their mothers. It is really tiring to take them. Think about it, not only do I have to climb on the ground, but I also keep screaming. It's really not fun.

But in order to seek the truth, I have to endure this test. So, that Sunday, when the ducklings and I were squatting, crawling and screaming on the green grass in our garden, I suddenly looked up and saw a row of dead white faces on the railing of the garden.

This is naturally some foreign tourists. They were probably stunned by what they saw, because all they saw was a big man with a big beard, crawling on the grass with his knees bent, his head down, peeking back from time to time, and learning to duck loudly. As for those ducklings, those ducklings that make people understand the whole story at a glance, they are completely hidden in the deep grass. How can you call those tourists?

Wu Xue has an excellent memory. If something catches them once, they will never forget it, warn each other and attack them in groups. There are many caves in my garden. Every time I want to tie a hoop to a bird for identification, I will break my brain. Every time I take a bird out of the nest, I can't help being hit by an adult's cave. In a short time, I was surrounded by noisy and angry big birds, which naturally hindered my communication with them in the future.

How can we make them not treat me as an enemy and avoid me as soon as they see me? The answer is simple: make up. But what are you pretending to be? It suddenly occurred to me that the ghost clothes worn on February 6, 65438 to celebrate the festival of St. Nicholas and the devil are now in a box in the attic, which is really convenient to take out. Very gorgeous all-black long-haired ghost costume. Not only that, there is also a mask that can cover the whole head, with horns, tongue dragging out of the mouth and a long tail.

If on a lovely June day, you suddenly hear a terrible noise on the roof of a tall house. Looking up, I saw Satan, with horns, tail and claws, crawling from chimney to chimney, so hot that his tongue fell out, and there were a bunch of blackbirds screaming after him. I really don't know what you think.

Probably won't guess that this demon is putting a hoop on the bird with pliers? It was not until I finished my work that I found that the streets in the village were already crowded with people, and their expressions of astonishment were the same as those of tourists on the railings. If I take off my clothes at this time and explain to them, I believe they will understand why; But those birds will recognize me and lose my original intention of making up. So I just wagged my tail to everyone in a friendly way and soon disappeared from the skylight in the attic.

The third time, I was almost sent to an insane asylum because of my cockatoo "Coco". A few days before Easter that year, I spent a considerable sum of money to buy this beautiful and docile bird. It took the poor guy several weeks to gradually recover from the mental abuse caused by long imprisonment. At first, it didn't even know that it was not bound by the anklet and could act at will; It's pathetic to see this proud bird sitting on a branch, wanting to fly but afraid to fly. But when it finally overcame this psychological obstacle, it immediately became lively and energetic, reluctant to part with me.

At night, we usually lock him up and sleep in the house. As soon as he was released this morning, he couldn't wait to find me. It is very clever, and soon it will know where to find me: first, it must fly to my bedroom window, and if I am not inside, it will go to the pond where ducks are raised. As long as I have a routine physical examination in the morning, I will find them one by one. This pursuit is not without danger for it, because if it can't find me, it will fly farther and farther, get lost several times and can't go home. Therefore, all my assistants know that whenever I am not at home, I don't let Coco go out at all.

One weekend in June, I returned to Edmontburg from Vienna by train. Because when the weather is fine, tourists from other places often come to Elton Fort for swimming on weekends, so there are many people who leave the station with me. I had just walked a few steps when I suddenly saw a big bird flying slowly in the air quite far from the ground. It moves very slowly, sometimes flapping its wings and sometimes gliding. For a while, I wasn't sure what kind of bird it was. It's too heavy to call it a vulture. It's said to be a stork, but it's not big enough, and when the stork flies to this height, its neck and legs should still be visible. At this time, it suddenly tilted. The afterglow of the sunset shines on the bottom of its huge wings, just like the night sky glows with stars. I can see that this is an Bai Niao god! Isn't this cocoa? Its wings are moving steadily, doesn't it clearly show that it is going to fly for a long time?

What should I do? Should I call it? By the way, have you ever heard the song of cockatoo? If not, just think about the howling when you kill a pig in the old way, and then amplify it several times with a megaphone. If a person uses all his strength, screams and screams "oh-ah", although it is not as powerful as a parrot, it sounds quite similar. I used to call it that, and every time it came back to me, but now it flies so high, I don't know if it will listen, because birds generally don't like to fly in a straight line from top to bottom. Do you want to scream or not? That moment really embarrassed me. If I call it, it will fly away without care. How should I explain it to the people next to me?

But I called anyway. People around you are rooted there. Coco spread his wings, hesitated for a moment, then put away his wings and swooped down, stopping only on my outstretched arm. Thank god, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Another time, the bird's practical joke scared me. My father was old at that time, and he liked to take a nap on the balcony in the southwest of our house. Although I don't approve of him sleeping in the strong sunshine, he refuses to let anyone change his old habits. One day when he was taking a nap, I suddenly heard him swearing loudly like a soldier on the balcony. I hurried there, only to see the old gentleman bend over and stumble past, his hands tightly around his waist.

"My God, are you sick?"

"No," he said angrily, "I'm not sick at all, but that bastard bit off all the buttons on my pants while I was sleeping."

I ran to the crime scene, and sure enough, Coco not only bit off all the buttons on the old professor, but also arranged them neatly on the ground: buttons on sleeves piled up, buttons on vests piled up, and buttons on pants piled up.

This parrot has another good trick, which can be compared with the rich imagination of monkeys and children. Perhaps out of love for my mother, it had a brainwave. In summer, my mother always knits sweaters as long as she sits in the yard. Cocoa seems to know exactly what soft wool is for. It always bites the exposed live thread and flies into the air quickly, spreading the whole thread like a kite with a very long tail. It always flies high, and then regularly jumps around the lemon tree in front of our house. If no one is there to interrupt its good trick, it will wrap the whole tree with shiny wool so that you can't untie it again. Our guests often stand in front of this tree for a long time, wondering why we dress it like this and how we wind wool.

This parrot is really infatuated with my mother. It is crazy about my mother: it dances around her in all kinds of strange postures, opening its beautiful crown hair at once and closing it again at once; Wherever she goes, it follows; If she were not here, she would be as diligent as when she first came to me.

My mother has four sisters. One day, my menstruation and several familiar old ladies were having tea in our corridor. They sat around a big round table, with a plate of fresh strawberries just picked from the garden in front of each person, and a shallow plate of fine powdered sugar in the center of the table. This parrot, intentionally or unintentionally, flew outside and happened to see my mother hosting a tea party inside. In the blink of an eye, it has already swooped down. Although the door in the corridor is wide, it is narrower than its open wings. Probably parked in front of my mom as usual.

This time, things are not so simple. When it finally landed on the table, it found strange faces all around. It thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, swept the desktop like a helicopter, turned and disappeared. After that, the powdered sugar disappeared from the plate, but around the table sat seven old ladies covered with powdered sugar. Their faces are as pale as lepers, and everyone's eyes are tightly closed. It's really beautiful!

First, import

After entering junior high school, our reading quality has improved by leaps and bounds. The teacher was pleased to see that everyone was more and more immersed in books. On weekends, many students read King Solomon's Ring. Now which student would like to share his reading experience with you?

(whiteboard operation) student profile:

1. Author Lorenz; 2. King Solomon's ring; 3. Read and enjoy the highlights.

This clip is really funny. In fact, there are so many interesting fragments in this book, and our words are also taken from one of the essence of this book. Let's walk into Animal Laughter! I believe everyone will have a deeper understanding and experience!

Second, read the text and ask questions.

1. Please read the text silently and circle it. And think: what problems do we need to figure out to learn this text well?

(6 minutes, students read and sketch the text)

2. According to reading and understanding, students independently ask questions that need to be studied.

Based on the students' self-study ability, the types of questions should be around the sections of "What did you write", "How did you write" and "Why did you write". )

3. Students ask questions and learn from them:

Health 1: Title of this article-How to understand animal jokes?

(Because the topic is relatively simple, students can already answer it, so ask questions directly to clarify the meaning of the topic "An animal joke"-tell some interesting things about animals and the role of the topic. )

Health 2: What kind of scientist is Lorenz?

S3: What's interesting about this article?

S4: What are the features of the language of this article?

Health 5: How did the author write these interesting things about animals?

4. Sort it out: What problems should be solved first? Why?

Clear: First solve the question "What interesting things have you written" in Student 3-you should analyze "What have you written" before considering others.

Third, problem-based learning: summing up events.

1. Read the article quickly and summarize "interesting scenes".

Requirements: (1) language is accurate and concise; (2) Highlight "fun". (Students look at the sketch quickly, and the teacher makes a tour to guide. )

2. Students summarize four interesting scenes according to the content of the article. Teachers give timely guidance and students complement each other.

Qing: imitate the call of the mother duck and climb on your knees;

In order to recall cocoa, imitate the ugly chirping of parrots in public; Cocoa bit off the buttons on the old professor and arranged them neatly in a pile; Cocoa wrapped bright wool around the lemon tree in front of the door.

3. Thinking: For these four scenes, is the length and pen and ink used by the author consistent? Clarity: there are details, and the author decides the details according to the focus and theme of the text.

Fourth, problem-based learning: savoring details.

1. Which problem will be solved next? Why?

Clear: You should learn "How did the author write these interesting things about animals?" -"How to write" should be further solved.

2. How did the author vividly show these interesting scenes? Clarity: Description of details

3. Self-study: Read the text again, find the details you like and appreciate the taste.

4. Group discussion and exchange: It is better to have fun alone than with others. Enjoy and share the exchange results in the form of deskmate cooperation.

About three pairs of students come up to read and appreciate their favorite details, and operate the whiteboard to make comments. )

Fifth, problem-based learning: language style.

1. The author's own language literacy also contributes to the vivid display of interesting scenes. Let's take a look at Lorenz's language style. Micro-class: Lorenz's Language Style

Clear blackboard writing: clear and clean, vivid and vivid, with a sense of humor.

Can you find other sentences in the text to further prove his humor?

6. Problem-based learning: Explore the author and expand it.

1. No matter how embarrassing the scene is, the author can laugh it off. What kind of writer can write such vivid and humorous language?

Solve the last question: What kind of scientist is Lorenz? Where did you see it? Think clearly: love animals and devote yourself to science.

2. Thinking: What can we learn from this lesson?

Clear: treat and respect other lives equally. The closer you get to nature, the more you will love and fear nature.

At this point, Lorenz's experience is the most profound. 3. Keep reading Lorenz's words:

"The more you know about nature, the more you will be deeply moved by its truth."

-King Solomon's Ring by Konrad Lorenz.

Seven. abstract

In this lesson, we learned to summarize the content and taste the details by combing and answering our own questions. From the text to the people, we explored the author's language style and spiritual realm, and also gained ideological enlightenment. I hope everyone can enter every text in the form of this question-based inquiry in the future, and I believe there will be greater progress!

Eight, homework after class

1. Writing after class: Write a scene of getting along with animals (imitating Lorenz's language style) or write a review of this lesson.

2. Extended reading: King Solomon's Ring

Brief introduction of the author

Konrad Lorenz is an Austrian zoologist, animal psychologist, ornithologist and Nobel Prize winner. He is generally regarded as one of the founders of modern animal behavior, and developed a method from an early age, including his teacher Oscar Heinros. Lorenz studied the instinctive behavior of animals, especially the grey geese and Western jackdaw. He also discovered the seal principle in the behavior of nesting birds (originally described by Douglas Spalding in19th century).

He wrote many books, some of which, such as King Solomon's Ring, became popular books during the invasion. In his recent life, his interest has shifted to the study of people in society.

Lorenz's most famous books are The Lord of the Rings of Solomon and two books written for ordinary readers during the invasion. His scientific work mainly appears in journal articles written in German. They are widely known for describing the research on the nature of Ding Bogen's book 195 1, although many of his materials were published in the English translation entitled "Two Volumes of Studies on Animal and Human Behavior".

The evolution and modification of King Solomon's Ring (1949) when people meet dogs (1950) (1965) are studied in aggression (1966) and animal and human behavior (1970). Capacity II (197 1) Behind the Mirror (1973) Eight Greeds of Civilized People (1974) The Year of the Grey Goose (1979) Animal Behavior Basis (1982)
