It is a memory full of joy that we have 3 day off for labor’s day. To celebrate this short holiday, my uncle decided to take us to Yangmei ancient town to have a visit.
The road to the town is really painful. We waited for about 4 hours to board the ship. The mosquito on the road made my little cousin cry all the time. I felt just like it was the worst day in my life. Our car was in the end of line, and the start of the line was unknown. They said there was only one ship that only brings 8 cars at a time. I considered going home but I really wanted to have a look at that ancient town, so we waited. Thank god. The endless waiting did have an end. We arrived Yangmei at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
The town is really amazing. Modern architectural design seems no effect the buildings there. People there still live in the house make of woods and black brick. They grow plants in the house. In the hall, it is evergreen, means the family is like the plant never decays. In the front door are some flowers with bright color, or a tree with age. The family tree is on the wall. We can see the beginning of their family was Ming Dynasty. One of the restaurants there impressed me. The restaurant is an ancient house of a big and rich family. The house is old with a bed where people lay and did some reading in the old times. The most interesting thing was that there are two red bridal sedan chairs in the front door. They are telling the love and marriage in the old days. The house also has an attic. Water flows through the tube on the left side of it.
A river runs through this town, and the water is clean. We chose a riverside restaurant to have our lunch. The food there was wonderful. We had a good time there. Despite the traffic jams. Yangmei is really a good place to visit. I hope I can visit there again when all the roads and ships are ready for cars.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday ju
1.准备阶段。小学英语教师首先要做的就是要了解新课标对小学生各个年级段的不同要求,据此设计活动的内容和目标,从而达到提高教学质量,提升学生能力的教学目的。如笔者是在教授句型“what colour is it?”时就采用了活动式教学方法。教学的最终目的是怎样让学生听懂教师用what colour is it?的句型发出指示,学生尽可能快速地作出反应。所以语法的意义可以略讲,发音在活动过程中个别纠正即可。小学英语教师要做的就是先让学生对这个活动产生兴趣,从而提高英语学生的效率。做到了这一点也就达到了本节课的教学目标。
2.活动目标和内容的确定。教学目标一定要明确,此目标就决定的内容应该怎样进行。可以多准备一些五颜六色的Cards,可以设计为听教师提问,然后指定学生回答。之后,教师提问,学生抢答。最后,可以是一个学生提问,其他学生抢答。层层深入,真正做到让学生扎实掌握这一句型,脱口而出用英语。这样设定有利于让学生参与到教学中来,实践证明,这种学习方法效果非常好,每个学生学起来都兴致高昂,掌握熟练。
4.选好角色。这一环节非常重要,关系到整个活动的成败。首先教师的角色定位一定要准,教师是设计者、指挥者和监督员,要随时做好身份的转换。学生的角色也要设定好。如第一轮中,教师提问,学生回答,对于一些基础好的学生可以问难一点儿的颜色,对于一些基础较弱的学生可以提问一些简单的颜色。第二轮中教师要对学生的反应加以点评,表扬先进,鼓励发言不踊跃的,从而达到全体参与的目的。第三轮中,教师分组一定要适当,其中有学习好的,也有学习差的,这样可以优势互补一下。
5.设置好学生座位。心理学表明,不同的学生座位布局会产生不同的教学效果。如果学生分成小组,自由讨论,学生的自由度很大,教师就会自然流动于各个小组,做适时地指导;而如果学生的座位是排成半圆形围绕教师的,那肯定是教师为主,但学生之间也可以面对面地交流,提高了学生的地位,他们也会较为活跃。而对于传统的座位,学生在下,教师在讲台上讲授,教师的地位就非常突出,不利于活动地进行。所以,教师一定要依据班内学生的情况和课程的要求进行座位设定。
6.活动实施。在整个活动的进行中,教师要设置好每一个阶段的分目标,如第一阶段的目标主要是夯实基础,让每一个学生都会说“what colour is it?”而第二个阶段的目标是培养学生的反应能力,激发学生兴趣,第三个阶段的目标是提高学生的表达能力和运用能力。
