Lesson Process

Step 1: Start learning new lessons by reviewing

Tagore used fiction to describe the real situation. He was an adult, but he imitated the tone and

psychology of children, showing touching motherly love and innocence. Bing Xin's creation was

once influenced by Tagore, and the style of her works is similar to Tagore's. Let's study "Lotus

Leaf·Mother" together.

Step 2: Read the text and fill out the form

Activity 1:

Students need to read and study "Lotus Leaf·Mother" with gratitude and praise to their mothers.

Tip: Students read the full text with the help of reading prompts, and try to write down their

reading insights.

unobstructed sky.

Step 3: Sort out questions based on self-reading

Questions:

(1) What is the relationship between the lotus leaf and the mother?

(2) Why does the article include the past events related to the "lotus" in the garden of the

hometown?

(3) Why did the author write about the red lotus in the wind and rain?

(4) How to understand the meaning of the last paragraph of the article? What does "raindrops in

the heart" refer to?

Answers:

(1) The lotus leaf symbolizes the mother.

(2) Explain that "my" family has deep feelings for lotus, and everyone loves lotus very much,

which lays the groundwork for the later writing about lotus in the rain.

(3) Take the red lotus in the wind and rain as a metaphor, protect the red lotus with lotus leaves,

and praise the mother's love and protection for her children.

(4) The last paragraph uses metaphorical rhetorical techniques to express the author's gratitude,

love and praise to his mother. "Raindrops in my heart" refers to the ups and downs on the road of

life.

Step 4: Parody sentence

Activity:

Write a sentence with "Mother is ______, I am ______".

Example:

The mother is the umbrella, and I am the child under the umbrella; the mother is the spring rain,

and I am the seedling; the mother is the tall and straight tree, and I am the fruit on the tree.

Step 5: Extended reading

Read this poem by Bing Xin and think about it.

Paper Boat
 ——Send mother

Bing Xin

I never want to abandon a piece of paper,

always keep--keep,

Folded into small boats one by one,

thrown from the boat into the sea.

Some were blown into the window of the boat by the wind,

Some were wet by the waves and stuck to the bow.

I am still not discouraged and folded every day,

I always hope that one can flow to the place where I want it to go.

Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream,

Don't be surprised that it's dreaming for no reason.

This is the tears of your beloved daughter,

Thousands of rivers and thousands of mountains, I beg it to return with her love and sorrow.

Question:

The poet takes the paper boat as the theme, entrusts the object with romance, and endows the

paper boat with a special meaning. Please tell me what the paper boat symbolizes.

Answer:

The paper boat symbolizes my longing for my mother.
