阅读《雨巷》教学反思(节选),按照要求答题。近 几年在优质课评选中听过不少老师讲过这篇诗歌.但大多数老师把时间用在分析“雨巷”“我”“丁香”“油纸伞”等意象的象征意义及诗歌的主题思想上。虽说这 样的设计并无不妥.但总感觉这样的课过于理性,对文本的解析过于清晰,诗的韵味大打折扣。而赵老师深谙诗歌创作鉴赏的规律,所以他的课堂很注重情境氛围的 营造。在舒缓忧伤的轻音乐中,老师如诗的导语一下子将学生引入了诗的境界:“暮春时节,烟雨江南,有道是:自在飞花轻似梦,无边丝雨细如愁。漫步江南的小 巷,你的耳边安静了下来,只有细丝般的丝雨摩挲青石板的声响,这个时候你的心里会涌起一种什么样的思绪 撑一柄油纸伞,化身多情的江南才子,这节课我们走 进戴望舒的雨巷,去品一品那番韵味。”接着在展示这节课的学习目标后(课前学生已充分预习课文),通过大屏幕展示两幅丁香的图片,两首描写丁香的古诗,寥 寥数语就厘清了丁香这个意象的象征意义,进而归总出越是美的东西越容易凋谢的哲理,通过流星、昙花、海市蜃楼、梦等例子加以印证。问题的处理不蔓不枝,较 好地解决了本课的重点难点。对该教学反思的分析,不正确的是( )。A、诗歌教学应在情境渲染下发挥学生的联想和想象,领会诗歌的意境、体会感情B、情境教学法是诗歌教学最主要的教学方法C、诗歌的艺术构思和表现手法不应该是课堂教学的重难点D、语文课是开放的。同一内容可从多角度解读
