introduction

The importance of whole book reading teaching was introduced, emphasizing the promotion of extensive reading in the Curriculum Standards, as well as the value of English literary classics in enhancing students' reading ability, developing thinking qualities, cultivating key abilities, and essential character traits. At the same time, it is pointed out that how to effectively utilize literary classics resources to carry out classroom teaching and stimulate students' interest in reading is an important issue in current educational practice.

Teaching difficulties and solutions

Explored the difficulties and solutions in teaching the whole book reading of high school English literary classics. The differences in students' reading interests, knowledge reserves, and life experiences lead to uneven learning levels and experiences. There are problems in teaching such as insufficient class hours, monotonous reading activities, and insufficient effective reading time, which affect students' interest in reading. Teachers lack effective reading guidance strategies and the quality of problem chain design is not high. Students face challenges such as complex sentence structures, unfamiliar vocabulary, and historical context when reading literary classics. Teachers should emphasize a macro understanding of the main theme of the text, starting with familiarity with character relationships and understanding the plot of the story. In teaching, we should consider teaching objectives and cultivate students' abilities, sort out the story plot, and determine typical characters and story fragments as discussion content. The post reading discussion class aims to reveal the complexity of the story through the core characters and events, and promote students' deep thinking. Teachers need to design a reasonable problem chain and thinking framework to guide students to go beyond surface information and explore the root causes of social phenomena. In teaching, it is necessary to make choices and simplifications based on the theme of the text and students' understanding level. The article proposes the "Review Relax Return Reread" 4R teaching model, which provides reference for teachers to effectively guide the reading of the entire book and promote students' independent and in-depth reading.

Teaching Practice of Discussion Class after Reading

Deeply explored the text interpretation of "To Kill a Mockingbird", analyzed the two storylines in the book and the social issues they reflect, such as racial discrimination and public opinion violence. The book tells the story of a small town in Alabama during the Great Depression from the perspective of Scout, a Finch girl, revealing the complexity of human nature and social systems. In the teaching practice section, teachers should select teaching materials based on classroom themes and text interpretation, and guide students to deeply consider the underlying reasons behind racial discrimination through problem chains. According to the analysis of the learning situation, the student comes from a science class in the second year of a high school in Shenzhen. They have active thinking but varying language abilities, and have some experience in reading literary classics.

Reflection Suggestions

This chapter emphasizes the importance of case selection and problem chain design in inspiring empathy and thinking among students, and points out the crucial role of dialogue between students, textbooks, peers, and teachers in deepening understanding. Teachers need to consider students' emotions, attitudes, and values when analyzing their learning situation. At the same time, when guiding post reading discussions, they should have in-depth discussions with students to understand their reading experiences and identify the focus of teaching. Teachers also need to cultivate interdisciplinary perspectives and enhance the depth of text interpretation to promote students' comprehensive understanding and stimulate innovative thinking.

conclusion

The key to teaching post reading discussion courses on literary classics is to connect literature with real life, guide students to deeply understand social issues, broaden their thinking perspectives, and reflect on personal behavior. Teachers should adapt to the diversity of students' viewpoints, flexibly guide discussions, and achieve teaching objectives.
