人教部编版语文九年级下册词四首教案
词人如此有违常规，造成了一种拗峭不凡的气势，词意更加纵横驰骋，抒情更加酣畅淋漓。2.如何理解《满江红》（小住京华）中的“俗子”？从这首词的语境来看，“俗子”当指词人的丈夫。这与“八年风味”的婚姻反思，与“青衫湿”的悲情是前后呼应的。秋瑾在后来写的一首《沁园春》中说：“有多少，遇王郎天壤，辜负才华。”在长篇弹词《精卫石》中说：“道韫文章男不及，偏遇个天壤王郎冤不冤。”这些词句，都是借谢道韫所嫁非人，间接抒发了她对婚姻的失望。王郎天壤（天壤王郎），是谢道韫鄙薄她丈夫王凝之的话，出自《世说新语·贤媛》：“一门叔父，则有阿大、中郎；群从兄弟，则有封、胡、遏、末，不意天壤之中，乃有王郎！”当然，从广义上理解，这首词中的“俗人”，也可泛指世俗之人。秋瑾到日本后写的《鹧鸪天》词中，有“祖国沉沦感不禁，闲来海外觅知音”的词句，可见“觅知音”意指寻求救国之道，不一定指个人的情感问题。

初读课文，学习字词。 1.提出读书要求：默读课文，一边读一边画出不认识的字和不理解的词，并借助词典等学习工具书理解。 2.教师检查学生学习情况。 （1）检查生字读音。 小丘（ qiū）渲染（xuàn ）迂回（ yū）蒙古包（ měng ） 襟飘带舞（ jīn ）鄂温克（è） （2）指导易混淆的字。 “襟”是左右结构，左边是“衤”，与衣服有关，表示衣服胸前的部分。 “涩”是左右结构，右边下面是“止”，不能写成“上”。 “裳”下面是“衣”，与衣服有关。 “微”：中间部分不能少一横。 （3）理解较难的词语。 ①联系上下文理解词语。 草原上行车十分洒脱，只要方向不错，怎么走都可以。 “洒脱”的意思是：潇洒自然，不拘束。这个词语反映了草原的广阔无边。 ②理解“襟飘带舞”一词的意思，可以出示蒙古族鲜艳的服装来分析，意思是：衣襟和裙带随风舞动。 ③“翠色欲流”一词可以从难字入手理解，比如“欲”在这里表示“将要”的意思，“翠色欲流”就是绿得太浓了，将要流下来，写出了草原的绿，是充满生命力的。 ④鄂温克：我国少数民族之一，聚居在内蒙古自治区的东北部。

Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.
