(Interview with Ouyang Guosheng of Straits Herald)

Task-driven composition has quietly entered the National College Entrance Examination 20 1977- 1997, topic composition (1998-2005) and material composition (2006-20 14). However, many research swords are biased and even mislead candidates and parents to a great extent.

So, how can senior three students write task-driven compositions well? Today, we invited Ouyang Guosheng, a teacher from Xiamen Foreign Language School, to give us guidance. He said that only by recognizing the "minefield" and interpreting the connotation can we avoid low-scoring compositions in the examination room and achieve high-scoring breakthroughs.

Ouyang Guosheng is a senior Chinese teacher in Xiamen Foreign Languages School. He won the first prize in the 5th Xiamen Teaching Innovation Competition, the first-class class teacher skill competition and the first prize in the Chinese teacher thesis competition.

The comment "Can the marking of the college entrance examination ignore human life" published in Southern Weekend was quickly reprinted by major media, which promoted the implementation of the "access system" for marking the college entrance examination in Shanghai.

The turn of composition guides students to return to real communication life.

In fact, a historic reform in the direction of composition in college entrance examination must have an inherent and profound pursuit: the task-driven composition shift is not only to "prevent mutual influence and accommodation", but to guide students back to real communication life. In terms of value orientation, we should guide students to respect otherism and communicate with each other in a civilized way, and move from closed private reasoning or strong argument to public reasoning and public civilization. Public reason and the civilized emotion needed by public reason are related to citizens' virtue and thinking justice. Therefore, the state advocates new composition to cultivate people and improve the quality of the people.

Teacher Ouyang Guosheng introduced that "task-driven composition" originated from daily teaching in Britain and America. The full name of "task-based teaching" is "task-based language teaching method", which is a language teaching method based on the completion of communicative tasks and was first proposed by Vygotsky. It focuses on giving a controversial or debatable question, which may have multiple results, so that students can make a decision or choose a result through consultation or discussion. It focuses on full exchange of views without reaching agreement, but it must be fully discussed.

Teacher Ouyang Guosheng said that for the composition in the examination room, students need to imagine the object of communication, and then communicate in a civilized way, instead of talking and reasoning. Therefore, when writing, we should have a clear sense of object, echo what he said and respect others. This is the minimum knowledge reserve for understanding task-driven composition.

Quality inspection reflects that candidates "step on thunder" did not examine the clear material connotation.

With the above knowledge, let's analyze the composition praised by Fujian quality inspection in April 2065438+2006. The material of task-driven composition pays more attention to real events in real life, and also requires students to communicate in a civilized way in a real context. This material is taken from the real event that a teaching building once used by a celebrity was demolished by the school, but the proposer wisely transformed it to make it more suitable for candidates to analyze and discuss in the real context.

For today's candidates, we should pay attention to two aspects: avoiding low scores and breaking through high scores. To avoid low marks, we must first find the "writing minefield" that task-driven composition must step on. This time, it embodies the following four "minefields":

First, the surface connotation. Candidates' exploration of the connotation of the old campus building itself is not in place, which greatly affects the expression level of the article, and the superficial content cannot be profound.

The second is the rising theme. Candidates' analysis of the reasons for the existence of old buildings on campus is too dependent on traditional culture, turning to too much discussion of traditional culture, ignoring the multi-dimensional discussion of the question of whether to leave or stay old buildings.

Third, do not write according to the material requirements and task instructions. Candidates are free to change important concepts such as "particularity" and "teaching building" contained in the materials, such as replacing "teaching building" with "school". In addition, the task is to write in the first person form of the present reality, but some candidates have changed this task and set the writer as themselves after 20 years, or the mother of the students. There are also mistakes in the presentation of objects, such as presenting a letter to the demolition office as a demolition office, which is inconsistent with the materials and task descriptions.

Fourthly, due to the indifference between communication and object consciousness, there is a phenomenon that "rigid reasoning is more than flexible feeling". In practical application, epistolary style should be a special style that is both reasonable and reasonable. This style requires a strong sense of dialogue, that is, the object of discourse should be specific and clear when writing, while many articles remain in the one-way reasoning dimension of old-fashioned argumentative essays, but fail to enter the artistic conception at the same time.

The phenomenon of "stepping on thunder" is probably based on the unclear material connotation and task instructions. Therefore, the first way to break through the high score is to examine the task requirements and interpret the connotation.

Interpretation of the Connotation of High Score Breakthrough Based on Contradictory Relationship

For a piece of material, candidates should first make clear the "content and significance of the material", which is the premise of writing a task-driven composition. "Content" refers to the event, and "meaning" refers to the will embodied in the event. The content of this material is "should the old campus buildings be demolished?" When the propositional materials show certain complexity, candidates should be able to find contradictions and opposites from the materials and extract the corresponding relationship of contradictions.

For example, the national volume I of 20 15 can extract the contradictory relations between traditional ethics and modern rationality, life consciousness and legal consciousness, emotion and reason, emotion and law, and law and reason.

The material "Do you want to demolish the building" provides a dilemma: from an ideal point of view, the school's pursuit of "development" is based on "modernization" construction, which is related to the school's development plan. Demolition of the building seems understandable, but if it is demolished, the school may be accused of destroying the human environment; If it is retained, it will be constrained by the reality of "limited land use". Therefore, demolition is emotionally unacceptable; Reservation, the development of the school is deeply affected.

From this, we can find two contradictory points and extract a set of contradictory correspondence, thus drawing up the material "meaning": "The conflict between campus humanistic architecture and modern school development". However, the discovery of contradictory correspondence depends on key concepts, so finding the relationship between concepts is a better way to find contradictory relations.

The concepts of "short, simple and old" in the materials show that the present situation of the teaching building is not dangerous, but it is no longer suitable as a teaching place, but it can be reused through repair and transformation. With the help of modifiers such as "groups of outstanding talents go out from here", the material shows the "particularity" of the old building, and the depth of digging into the connotation of "particularity" or "old building" determines the depth of composition thinking.

In addition to the interpretation provided by the proposer, we can also interpret the connotation of "old building" in this way: "Old building is no longer an ordinary teaching building, it has accumulated the collective memory of countless students, is an emotional bond between teachers and students, and is a catalytic medium to awaken memories. It is a symbol of campus culture with historical and humanistic feelings, a solidified music and a living specimen. This is a spirit of eternal significance that inspires education, enlightenment and nostalgia.
