一、引入:教师列举以下言论,让学生辨出哪些是孟子的,哪些不是。学生不知道的,由教师说出。学生不理解的,教师作简要解说。1.天将降大任于是人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为。所以动心忍性,曾益其所不能。(孟子)2.域民不以封疆之界,固国不以山溪之险,威天下不以兵革之利。得道者多助,失道者寡助。(孟子)3.鱼,亦我所欲也,熊掌,亦我所欲也,二者不可得兼,舍鱼而取熊掌者也。生,亦我所欲也,义,亦我所欲也,二者不可得兼,舍生而取义者也。(孟子)4.富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移,威武不能屈。(孟子)5.非礼勿视,非礼勿听,非礼勿言,非礼勿动。(孔子)6.无恻隐之心非人也,无羞恶之心非人也,无辞让之心非人也,无是非之心非人也。(孟子)7.庖有肥肉,厩有肥马,民有饥色,野有饿殍。(孟子)8.人性之善也,犹水之就下也;人无有不善,水无有不下。(孟子)9.民为贵,社稷次之,君为轻。(孟子)10.君子坦荡荡,小人常戚戚。(孔子)
三、解题和介绍创作背景。"装在套子里的人"是指生活和思想上都有某种框框,不敢越雷池一步的人,小说中的主人公就是这样一个人物,他是沙皇专制主义的产物。现在,别里科夫已成为顽固守旧,害怕变革,阻碍社会发展的人的代名词。我们学习这篇课文,必须把握创作的时代背景:19世纪末期的俄国正是农奴制度崩溃、资本主义迅速发展、沙皇专制极端反动和无产阶级革命逐渐兴起的时期。沙皇政府面临着日益高涨的革命形势,极力加强反动统治,沙皇政府的忠实卫道士,也极力维护沙皇的反动统治,仇视和反对一切社会变革。作者写这篇小说就是为了揭露和讽刺这种人丑恶的本质。四、结构分析明确:故事的主要情节是别里科夫的恋爱以及最后失败,按照情节的发展可以把课文分成三部分:(一)介绍别里科夫的外表、生活习性和思想性格(第1-4段)。(二)别里科夫与华连卡恋爱以及最后失败(第5段至倒数第3段)。(三)埋葬别里科夫,但生活中还有许多"别里科夫"(最后两段)。
