Features: This book, "Passionately Clicking on Writing," authentically reflects the successful experiment in writing teaching conducted by Teacher Deng. Her success stems from completely breaking free from the constraints of knowledge-based teaching objectives and firmly adhering to the teaching philosophy of "ability-based objectives." Her experiment focuses on solving practical problems students encounter in the writing process. From the content of the book, Teacher Deng's experimental approach is fundamentally sound and aligns with the principles of writing instruction.
Teacher Deng's online writing teaching is centered on the idea of "everyone improving, and every individual developing," "igniting the flames of students' minds and fostering the individual development of each student." This guiding philosophy embodies the new concept of the "New Curriculum Standards" shifting from "elitism to populism." It does not focus on a select few elite students but instead pays attention to every student, respects their personality and individuality, and promotes their healthy growth. This is often difficult to achieve in traditional classroom writing instruction but yields unexpected results online.
In teacher-student interactions and peer-to-peer exchanges during writing activities, students' sense of agency is strengthened. Through the collision of minds, emotions are ignited, and talents are showcased. In the spirit of "everyone racing forward," the writing skills and proficiency of every student are enhanced.
In terms of specific teaching methodology, the approach proposed by Teacher Deng—"reducing writing to a process, seeking breakthroughs through interaction, and leveraging the internet for improvement"—is also correct and aligns with the principles of writing instruction. Traditional writing instruction often focuses on correcting and commenting on students' submitted assignments, neglecting guidance throughout the entire writing process. The concept of "reducing writing to a process" captures the key point. Only by delving into the entire writing process, promptly grasping students' thought patterns, and providing targeted guidance can good results be achieved.
Writing is created by humans, and computers cannot fully replace human brains in creative thinking or express the unique thoughts and emotions of humanity. Currently, market products such as "Fast Writing," "Writing Nemesis," and "Magic Writing"—which claim to write an entire article in just three minutes—are, in reality, merely a modern form of the traditional "cut-and-paste" approach. Only by adhering to the principles of writing, grasping every stage of the writing process, leveraging the internet, and fostering improvement through interaction can the correct path be taken.
