With great love, patience and perseverance, and without any educational experience to follow, she successfully cultivated Helen from a wayward and ignorant little girl into a knowledgeable and talented girl through exploration, starting from respecting children's nature and guiding children's interests, until she entered the university.
19 June 19, Anne Sullivan, the legendary woman who cultivated the immortal flower Helen Keller in the 20th century, died in people's regret.
Anne Sullivan summed up his own educational methods through exploration. Instead of locking Helen in her room for rigid, rigid and routine classroom teaching, she let Helen blend into nature and seek educational opportunities from things she is interested in.
Her education is completely heuristic, not indoctrinating. Starting from respecting children's nature, she changed passive learning into active knowledge, stimulated Helen's enthusiasm for learning, and kept Helen in a state of knowledge.
While enlightening Helen's wisdom, she also educated Helen in love with her delicate feelings and kind heart. Under her influence, Helen became warm, kind and caring.
With her unremitting efforts, Helen's enlightenment education has achieved amazing success. After that, she accompanied and coached Helen to complete the college course, and traveled with Helen many times to give a lecture tour until her death.
Miss Sullivan-introduction
Teacher Sullivan in Helen Keller's Works
Helen Keller lost her sight and hearing at 19 months, and soon became mute. Thanks to Sullivan's education and study in a school for the blind, she finally became a famous American writer and educator. The article My Teacher truly describes the situation that the author was taught by Sullivan. What kind of person is her teacher described by the author?
First, "Love Me"
Helen Keller recalled the first meeting with her teacher and said, "It was this man who loved me deeply in my later years." The article describes several love scenes of Sullivan to her, which is touching. For example, when the teacher saw her for the first time, she took her hand and held her tightly in her arms. When she met a strong wind in the tree, the teacher rushed up to "grab" her hand and helped her down from the tree. When she took the flowers to the teacher, the teacher "wanted to kiss her". Even when the author lost her temper and made mistakes, the teacher loved her deeply. For example, the author smashed a doll while learning to spell "doll", but Miss Sullivan still patiently taught her and led her "into the warm sunshine"; When the author wore many beads by mistake, the teacher didn't blame her, but pointed out her mistakes patiently and amicably.
Teacher Sullivan devoted herself to Helen Keller and deeply touched the author.
Second, "bring joy"
Miss Sullivan is a happy angel. She made Helen Keller feel the joy of study and life step by step.
For example, when a teacher teaches a doll, Helen Keller plays with the doll first, and then spells the letters by hand. This method makes Helen Keller "very interested".
For another example, when the teacher is teaching "water", let Helen Keller put her hand into the water and spell letters from slow to fast, so that she "seems to recall the forgotten past and arouse joy and passion".
With the increase of Helen Keller's knowledge, she felt that "there are more and more things that bring people excitement and pleasure".
So the author wrote: Miss Sullivan "brought me joy as soon as she came to me".
Three. "Start my study from life itself"
"Learning in life" is Sullivan's unique educational thought.
When Miss Sullivan teaches Helen Keller something specific, she should touch something specific. For example, let her play with dolls first; Let her put her hand in the water; He also led her to "walk through the fields where people are sowing seeds" and "sit on the grass by the river", and naturally began her "enlightenment course learning" in "nature".
When teaching Helen Keller to understand abstract things, such as "love", Miss Sullivan pays attention to explaining it through concrete feelings about life: "You know, you can't touch the clouds, but you will feel the rain. Similarly, you can't touch' love', but you know that the warmth of people can instill everything. "
Teacher Sullivan's education of "learning through life itself" is successful. Under her education, Helen Keller "has the key to learning a language", "her mind is full of wonderful truths" and "opened her eyes", and her life has become full, happy and valuable.
At the end of My Teacher, it says: Teacher Sullivan "brought me love, joy and colorful life". This is not only the author's praise for the teacher's noble morality, but also the teacher's outstanding talent.
