First one? Two? Class? time

Teaching content: read carefully and feel the emotion of war elephants.

Teaching process:

Read the text again first and say the impression.

Last class, we read the text for the first time. Everyone puts forward problems according to their own understanding and solves them together. What impression did Gacao leave on you after studying here? (Presupposition: There may be kindness, nostalgia, firmness, loyalty and courage. According to the students' answers, the teacher can make simple arrangements and make clear the next learning goal. )

[Comment: Senior three students have developed the habit of thinking while reading. The text of this lesson is long, so it is easy to start with the whole teaching. Let the students talk about their impressions of Ga carboxyl, and go straight to the key sentences to avoid word-for-word explanation. ]

Second, study sentences and understand them.

1. Which sentences in the text left such an impression on you? Please read the text quickly, draw relevant sentences, read it and taste it.

Students study freely, teachers patrol, understand the learning situation, and participate in students' autonomous learning. )

2. Communicate in groups and report the learning situation.

3. Collective communication:

(1) What sentences did you learn about Gacao's nostalgia and kindness?

Read the corresponding sentences and report:

"The next morning, Gacao was suddenly very excited and his eyes burned red. When he saw bonodine, he growled like a hoof, pointing his nose at the attic where the debris was piled up. "

I felt the eagerness of the war elephants when they saw the elephant saddle from "growling in disgust" and "stepping in a hurry" )

"I didn't expect Gacao to see me. I suddenly calmed down and blew away the dust with my nose. The tip of my nose rubbed on it for a long time, and my eyes shed tears for you, like an old friend reunited after a long separation. "

From Huhuzou, For a Long Time, Stroking and Weeping for You, we can deeply feel the deep nostalgia and recollection of that glorious past when Jia Cao saw the elephant saddle! )

"It didn't eat anything, only drank a little water and walked around the village three times."

From here, I feel that the elephant of war has always been reluctant to part with the village and the people in the village. It has not forgotten the help and meticulous care of the people in the village. )

"It stood on the pebbles by the river and stared at the rippling river for a long time." "It stepped on the rushing river-making a deafening roar."

("Looking at it for a long time" shows that it must have seen an earth-shattering and weeping scene 26 years ago: the mighty and magnificent war elephants carrying anti-Japanese athletes, braved the bullets and rushed to the invaders like an avalanche; The Japanese aggressors cry and lose their helmets and armor; Heroic war elephants and anti-Japanese soldiers were also shot and fell into the river. The reef of "kissing" may be the battlefield where Jia Cao once struggled to kill the enemy, or it may be a sad place that was once covered with the blood of his comrades. The "deafening roar" may be Ga Carboxyl's deep call to the soul of his comrades-in-arms, or he may tell his comrades-in-arms that he will accompany them in the future ... Is this just a war elephant? This is an admirable hero, this is a hero who makes people cry and sing! From these, I feel the nostalgia of the war elephant for the place where I fought, and at the same time I am grateful to those who saved it, and I deeply miss the dead war elephant. )

(2) The report can feel Gacacao's "brave" statement.

"There are bullet holes in the elephant saddle, and there seems to be blood-adding a kind of heroic spirit. Twenty-six years have passed, and the worn elephant saddle still looks dignified and luxurious; Gacao puts on an elephant saddle, which adds more heroic spirit. "

From here, we can realize the tragic fighting at that time. The elephants remember the battle vividly. When they put on elephant saddles, they felt very proud. He deeply praised the heroic image and spirit of Gacacao through the concise description of the object saddle and Gacacao.

Why are war elephants so excited to see the fought elephant saddle? Why do war elephants look so brave on elephant saddles?

(You can contact the majesty in front of you, the gradual aging and the contrast now. The teacher's guidance makes students feel the incomparable nostalgia of the war elephants for fighting and comrades. )

"The news that Ga Carboxyl was leaving spread all over the village like wings, and men, women and children came to see Ga Carboxyl off. Many people are crying. The village chief tied a white scarf around Gacao's neck, and four elephant legs tied four pieces of black cloth. " (from? "Crying", "Wearing a scarf" and "Wearing a black cloth" can feel that people in the village have already had feelings that they can't give up. People can't forget the great achievements made by the elephants in the battle, and people are extremely sad about the imminent death of the elephants. Use this situation to consolidate the profile)

(3) Where did you feel the "loyalty" of this war elephant?

Health report "War elephants go to hundred elephant tombs and lie down with comrades who fight side by side".

The main contents are as follows:

"Gacao came to the stone tablet and chose a flat meadow. We hid in the distance and watched its body sink inch by inch. "What did you learn from it?

"Gacarboxyl is lying at the bottom of the pit, with his face sideways, his nose bent on his leg, and his eyes wide open, staring at the sky." What does Gacao think when he stares at the sky?

(4) Are there any paragraphs in the text that move you and make you think deeply? Please read it with emotion.

Kind? Loyalty? Hero? strengthen

[Comments and Thinking: This is a typical example of short teaching with long articles. Although the articles are written in the order of development, we take a straight-to-the-center approach in teaching and learn by grasping key paragraphs. In the implementation of this important link, teachers can take various forms, not just talking about feelings and then reading aloud, but reading instead of speaking, encouraging students to express their reading feelings in their favorite way. ]

Full text of the last elephant in the war

Call leader in Xishuangbanna once had a team of majestic elephant soldiers. The so-called elephant soldier is an army riding an elephant to fight. Compared with cavalry, elephant soldiers can not only play a mobile and fast role, but also split the enemy with their long noses, trample the enemy to death with their hooves and directly participate in the battle. A large group of elephants pounced on the enemy like an avalanche, with dust rolling and roar overwhelming.

1943, Japanese invaders invaded Myanmar, and they entered the Xishuangbanna border town of Rhoda, just across the river from Myanmar. Elephant soldiers fought the Japanese invaders on the banks of the Rhoda River. The fighting was extremely fierce, and the gunfire, fighting sound and elephant roar were earth-shattering; The devils dropped more than 70 bodies in the Rhoda River, and all our more than 80 elephants were shot to the ground, and the river was dyed red with blood. After the battle, the opening credits dug a pit more than 20 meters wide by the Rhoda River, buried the fallen war elephants solemnly, and erected a monument on the pit: the Tomb of Hundred Elephants. When the migrant workers in Manguangnong Village were carrying the body of a war elephant, they accidentally found that a male elephant was still breathing, his neck was cut open by a knife, and a machine gun bullet passed through its front leg, covered in blood, but it was still alive. They carried it back to the stockade in eight wagons. This is the only surviving war elephant named Gacacao. The kind villagers were cured and raised.

1969 Gacao was still alive when he went to Manchu countryside to jump the queue and settle down in March. It is over 50 years old, its neck is crooked badly, its mouth will never close properly, and it drools all day; One of the front legs was not completely cured, and it was very short, and I began to stumble; The sparse elephant hair is almost gone, and the skin is wrinkled like dehydrated loofah; Years of dust, two ivory accumulated a thick ugly yellow stain. It is a war elephant, and it is a hero. The villagers respect and take care of it and never ask it to move things. It idles around the stockade all day, asking for bananas at the host's house and drinking spring water at the west.

I am very familiar with Bonondin, the old man in charge of raising Gacacao, so I became friends with Gacacao. In the third year of jumping the queue, Kaka became more and more senile, ate less and less, slept in the shade all day, his skin was slack and his body shrank, just like a dehydrated lemon. Bononding was a slave to the toast for many years when he was young, and his living habits were very distinct. He said to me, "The sun is setting, the fire pit is going out, and it's time to go to the grave." A few days later, Gacao refused to eat and lay on the ground. It took him a long time to grab his nose and shake it, then he struggled to open his eyes and look at you. I think it is almost in a semi-coma.

But one morning, I passed by the elephant house next to the threshing floor. I was surprised to find that Gacao's mind suddenly woke up. Although his body is still weak, his spirit is in an exciting state. Seeing Bonodin, Ou Ou gave a brief growl, with his nose down, pointing to the small attic where the elephant room was piled up with sundries, as if he couldn't wait to get something in the attic. At first, Bonondine didn't want to pay attention to it. He lost his temper and hit the post with his nose and the wooden wall with his huge body. The elephant house is crumbling. Bonodin couldn't beat him, so he had to ask me for help. He climbed into the attic and handed down the sundries to see what it really wanted. There are half a basket of seeds, two bundles of old corn and some broken sacks in the attic, but there seems to be nothing else. I thought it was ready and wanted to eat, so I threw two strings of old corn, hooked it with the tip of my nose and threw it out of the elephant house like garbage. I handed Bononding half a basket of rice, but before he could catch it firmly, he was knocked over by Gacao's nose and trampled angrily with his elephant hoof. I threw the broken sack down again, and it was picked up with ivory.

There is nothing to throw in the corner of the attic except a broken mat. Ga carboxyl still looked up impatiently and shouted at me. "Look again, see what else?" Bonodin urged below. I opened the broken cushion and there was something like a saddle in it. It is big and heavy. It looks like it is made of wild cowhide and covered with a thick layer of dust. Besides, there is really nothing in the attic. I kicked that stupid thing downstairs. A strange thing happened: Gacaca saw the broken thing, calmed down, blew away the dust covering it with his nose, and rubbed it with his nose for a long time. In his eyes, crying for you is like an old friend reunited after a long separation.

"Oh, long time no see. It wants its elephant saddle. " Bononding suddenly realized: "This is the saddle it wears when fighting like an elephant. We carried it back to the stockade from the battlefield, and it was still wearing an elephant's saddle. I took off the elephant's saddle and threw it in the attic when I was treating it. Alas, it's been 26 years, and I completely forgot. Unexpectedly, it still remembers so firmly. " Gagaka picked up the elephant's saddle with his nose and threw it on its back, signaling us to tie it up. Bonondine and I had a hard time putting the elephant's saddle on its back.

There are bullet holes in the elephant saddle, and there seems to be blood stains, mixed with a strange smell of leather, smoke, war dust and blood; There is a lotus-shaped cushion in the center of the elephant saddle, surrounded by a circle of silver bells and apricot ears. Twenty-six seasons of wind, frost, rain and snow have worn out, but they still look heavy and luxurious. Gacao wears an elephant saddle, which adds to his heroic spirit. "What does it want to put on the elephant's saddle now?" I asked, puzzled. "I'm afraid this is not a good sign." Bononding frowned and said sadly, "I think it may leave us to attend the elephant funeral."

I've heard the legend of elephant funeral. The elephant is a very spiritual animal. Except those who died suddenly and unfortunately in the wilderness, they can accurately predict their own death. About half a month before the arrival of death, the elephant left the herd, bid farewell to his companions, and walked alone to the distant and mysterious elephant grave. Every herd of elephants has an elephant tomb, or a deep rain crack, or a huge cave, or a pit left by an earthquake. All elephants in this population, no matter where they wandered to the ends of the earth, must end up in the same elephant grave; Surprisingly, from birth to death, even though the elephant has never been to or seen the elephant tomb, at the last moment of its life, under the guidance of a mysterious force, it can accurately find the elephant tomb belonging to its own population. Sure enough, Bonodin was right. Gacao is ready to bid farewell to the flooded countryside and find the final destination. It walked around the stockade for three times, expressing a reluctant mood to the stockade that saved it, took it in and fed it for 26 years. The news that Gacao was leaving spread all over the village like wings, and men, women and children flocked to the threshing floor to see Gacao off. As we all know, it is not so much a farewell as a funeral for an old war elephant who is still alive. Many people are crying. The village chief, Pafa, tied a white scarf around the elephant's neck and four pieces of black cloth on the legs of four elephants. The old man and children took bananas, sugar cane and glutinous rice to Gacao's mouth. It only ate a little cold water. Sunset in the western hills, the sky is boundless, with a sigh, Gacao is on his way. The crowd who saw me off dispersed, and Bononding was still standing in a daze on the threshing floor. I thought he was sad for Gacao's departure, so I went to comfort him and said, "It's natural to get together and leave. Don't be too sad." Unexpectedly, he lowered his voice and said, "Young man, do you have the courage to get rich with me?" Seeing my blank and ignorant expression, he went on to say, "We followed Gacao quietly and found the elephant grave …" I understood what he meant. He wants me to collect ivory with him. In the tropical rainforest, the bones of the elephant's body will rot, but the ivory will always shine with charming luster; Because all the ancient elephants were buried, there were dozens or even hundreds of ivory in each elephant grave. It is no exaggeration to say that finding the elephant grave is equivalent to finding the cornucopia; Smart elephants seem to know that humans covet their developed front teeth and are afraid of being plundered by greedy humans. They usually choose the elephant burial in the remote forest, which no experienced hunter can find. However, if we use despicable tracking means to track the dying old elephant quietly, it is possible to find the distant and mysterious elephant tomb. I hesitated, silent, afraid to promise easily. Bononding obviously read my mind and said, "We only pick up the ivory of other elephants in the elephant grave, not the ivory with carboxyl, which is worthy." That's a good idea. I took care of my emotions and dreamed of making a fortune. Why not? We started to catch up and soon caught up with Gacao who was walking alone on the path leading to the mountain. It was dark, and the white scarf around its neck marked the funeral became a signpost for us to follow in the dark. Although it limped on one leg and couldn't walk fast, it never stopped for a moment. It walked all night, and at dawn, it came to the bank of Rhoda. "I remember, this is the upstream of the Crystal Ferry. It was here that we carried Gaka ashore 26 years ago. " Bononding pointed to a turtle-shaped reef in Jiangwan and said, "Fortunately, this reef blocked it, otherwise it would have been washed downstream by the rapids and drowned."

So, this is the battlefield where anti-Japanese athletes fought bloody battles with Japanese invaders 26 years ago. At this time, Gacao stepped on the swift river and walked towards the turtle reef. His nose kissed and kissed on the rough reef rusted by the sun. It was a long time before I held my head high and roared at the flaming sunrise on the horizon. It suddenly became like an elephant, and its body swelled like it was blown up. The skin of its four legs is tight and shiny, its elephant eyes are bright, and its roar is fierce and tragic, making all the fish in the river jump out of the water. I think, at this moment, it must have seen another scene that made the gods cry 26 years ago: the mighty and magnificent war elephants carried anti-Japanese athletes, braved the bullets and rushed to the invaders like avalanches; The Japanese aggressors cry and lose their helmets and armor; Heroic war elephants and anti-Japanese soldiers were also shot and fell into the river.

I am in awe of Gacao. Although it is just an elephant and is called an animal by human beings, it has noble feelings that many people who call it human beings do not have. When it is about to die, it can't forget this land that once spilled blood, and specially came here to remember the past and mourn the battlefield!

We followed it for about an hour. On a gentle sunny hillside, it suddenly stopped. "Oh, this is the place where more than 80 elephants are buried. I have participated in digging and burying, and I remember it very clearly. Well, there is also a monument there. " Bonodin said quietly.

I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a stone tablet standing in the grass, on which three characters were engraved with peeling gold foil and a little vague handwriting: the tomb of a hundred elephants. Murphy gnawed at it ... I didn't dare to think about it. I squinted at Bononding, and he frowned in confusion.

Gacao came to the stone tablet and chose a flat meadow. A pair of ivory looks like two pickaxes dug on the ground. After the clod is loose, it cleans it up with its nose and continues to dig below. It has not eaten for several days, and after a long journey, its physical strength is exhausted. After digging for a while, it stood on the side for a while to catch its breath, but it kept digging, digging from morning to afternoon, and finally dug an oval shallow pit. It slipped down the pit, continued to dig deep in the pit, rolled up the clods with its nose and threw them out of the pit. We watched from a distance and saw its body sinking inch by inch. The sun goes down, the moon rises and is still digging. In the middle of the night, Gacao's back sank from the pit and disappeared. The sound of ivory digging is getting thinner and thinner, and his long nose throws dirt. The rhythm is getting slower and slower. When the rooster crowed for the first time, finally, everything was calm and there was no sound. Bononding and I waited patiently until the east vomited white, and then we got up the courage to look in the pit. The pit is about 3 meters deep. Kaka lay at the bottom of the pit, with his face sideways, his nose bent on his leg, his eyes wide open and staring at the sky.

It is dead. It didn't go to the elephant tomb left by a mysterious ancestor far away. It dug a hole next to the elephant tomb and buried it with its companions who had fought side by side.
