How to Write Children's Poems for Elementary School Students

Children themselves are gifted poets because they have a rich and unique imagination, which is what poets need. The language of poetry is primarily figurative language, such as "The season takes a nap and the mountain flowers pass through a lifetime." “Spring raises its green head” and so on. Poetry, like other literary subjects, can start from imitation. The ancients said: literature starts from nonsense and poetry starts from bullshit. The more you imitate, the better your children's poems will be. Here are several methods for you:

Lesson 1

One of the thinking methods for children's poetry

Cause finding method

For children's poetry, there are creations for adults and creations for children. She is popular in the typical, sentimental in the aura, naive in the naive, natural in the fresh, reflecting the innocence, childish interest and innocence of children. Some sayent that poetry comes from inspiration, and the same goes for poetry for children. So where does the inspiration come from? Mastering the methods of thinking about children's poems can promote the germination of inspiration. Next, I will talk about the inspiration of children's poems in terms of methods of thinking.

Cause search method. Give an object a cause and effect, the effect is reality, the cause is illusory and inaccurate, but in children's poems it is full of aura and childishness, innocence and kindness, and from a "feeling of being so stupid you're smart", to you, "Cause" has a strange and unfamiliar feeling.

For example, "Dayang":

The sun is like a big matchstick cake,

roasted in the mountain oven.

p> One night,

the next morning,

my face was red with fever.

The bright red morning sun is the effect, a fact, and the reason why itis so red is the cause. The “cause” that the young author seeks becomes a large cake of coal, roasted red in the mountain furnace. His imagination is so naive and unreal. But one thing is that both sides are "red" and red connects them both. Of course, the redness of the sun can also be associated with other reds, and many children's poems can be written based on this.

Another example is "Thinking Stars":

At night,

in the dark sky,

the stars twinkle.

It's because,

Grandmother Moon asked the question,

asked the stars to answer,

the stars blinked and reflected. .

Look, if the stars blink, then why do they blink? The young author immediately thought that thinking children would also blink. The blinking stars didn't think at all. It showed the childishness and innocence ofchildren and gave the stars a human aura, making them come alive.

Another example is "Peach Blossom":

Peach Blossom likes pretty girls,

He doesn't like sleeping in Sister Chun's arms,

Get up quietly,

steal Sister Chun's rouge,

wipe it desperately on your face.

Sister Chun woke up,

found that cigarette grease was missing,

then looked for it and came into the world ,

which causes all things to wake up quickly.

Look, the red color of the peach blossom is Is this the reason? Not at all, but the little author has made reason into a story, how interesting!

Here, when looking for the cause, you should first look for the point of discovery of the connection from the "effect" itself, and then make up a short story when establishing of the connection and write it down. in a branching method Do you think it eIs it easy to write poems for children?

But there are two points to note: 1. Sometimes only one percent of the connection between cause and effect is enough. Ninety-nine percent are far-fetched. If the connection is too real, just do it. will be lost. Childish interest; 2. The connection between cause and effect should come out of ordinary people's thinking and seem interesting. For example, everyone will think of the connection between the rainbow and the bridge. This doesn't give readers any idea. freshness and does not show the childishness, innocence and aura of children.

Second lesson

Method of thinking about poetry for children

Method of association

Association consists of thinking about something from one thing to another, and then from there, things spread out, revealed layer by layer, and thoughts arise.

For example, "Grandfather's hands":

Grandfather's hands are covered in callosités,

looks like

“Slope”;< /p>

Seeing this “slope”,

remembered -

You see, the first level goes from “cocoon” to “hillside”, which is a similar association. The hillside in nature is higher than the flat ground, and the calluses are also slightly raised in the palm. , and the palm appears to be flat. Of course, "hillside" can also be thought of as greening, everything else can be thought of, because to be associated with calluses one must select "harvest", so the associations associated with the second level are always based on the original. (cocoon) at the first level It is only relevant. Otherwise, there will be a lot of associations and it will be impossible to browse and focus on the theme. This poem illustrates that work creates the harvest.

Another example is "Grandfather's Beard of the Mountain".

White clouds,

surrounding the mountainside,

like the mountain's grandfather's beard floating

p >

Grandpa Shan,

stroking him,

sleeping while snoring.

The first level of this poem also has similar associations, with white clouds surrounding the mountainside, much like Grandpa Shan's Hu Shun floating; the second level still has similar associations, with Grandpa Shan sleeping while stroking his beard. What a peaceful old man, the picture is realistic and lifelike.

Another example is "The painful thoughts of the autumn rain":

Like ox hair, like fine threads,

The rain autumn is continuous,

Aunt Qiu, you are Why did you cry for so long?

My heart is cold and my heart is broken.

The leaves are falling one after the other,

I worry about the arrival of winter.

The poem "Autumn Rain" associates drizzle withraindrops resemble tears, and tears are associated with the psychological state of worry. Autumn rain is linked to landscape depression and psychological desolation. In fact, it is the melancholy of people's dissatisfaction with the autumn rain.

Course 3

Three ways of thinking about poetry for children

Editing method

Editing is originally a technique shooting technique used in cinema and television. . But also can be used to write poetry. **. TV makes extensive edits of all shots as needed and in accordance with the art, then reassembles them to always present a complete story to readers. The editing technique in the children's poetic thinking method is also used in the same way to edit and combine a poem. If the content is broken into pieces, it will not be thought or spirit. If the different contents are linked together withc a thread and the candied haws are tied together with bamboo silk.

Please read the children's poem "Crying":

The pressure cooker cries,

hisses,

because it is red by the butt of fire.

The baby cloud cries,

whispers,

because the eunuch Lei criticizes him.

Mom is crying,

Crying,

because I am disobedient.

What is crying?

Crying is a way to let off steam.

Your face will appear brighter after crying.

You see, the pressure cooker, the cloud and the mother have no connection. But the young author used the term “crying” as a common thread to express his search for brighter thoughts after crying.

Use the montage technique to write poems, requiring that objects be as far away from each other as possible, so that the jump is strong. If the title is "Laughing", dad laughs, hahaha.. Mom is here Laughingire, hey hey... My sister smiles, squints her eyes... In this way, they are both human beings, and their jumping ability will be weak, and the poetic flavor will not be strong, and the l The intention will not be high. If they are written with different objects, the poetic flavor will not be the same, if it doesn't work, you can try it.

The key to using montage techniques to write children's poems is to capture a common characteristic of different objects. The sizzling sound of the pressure cooker sounds like crying, and the cloud doll's cries sound even more like a rain of tears. The characteristics of the three are similar to those of the mother, so they are combined.

Use the editing technique to write, the first thought should be broad and global, and include the characteristics of each object. The second thought is to focus on finding commonalities in characteristicsof each object, then the poem will be completed.

Come enjoy the following children's poem "Mother" using the montage technique:

The blue sky is the mother of white clouds,

The high mountains are the mother of clear springs,

The earth is the mother of seeds,

Spring is the mother of flowers,

The homeland is our mother.

This poem is linked by the common thread of who fed who. Of course, there is a lot of content about who fed who, but certain choices need to be made based on the jump and the atmosphere, in order to improve the quality of the poem.

Another example is “Brilliance”

The brilliance of flowers

In spring

You see

The brightness of flowers

Violet and red

The splendor of the woods

In summer

Look

Lush and luxuriant

Green shade

The glory of fruits

In autumn

Look

The branches are colorful

The radiance ofChina

Today

Look at

the rich customs of the 16th National Congress

China is blowing everywhere

This poem uses “shine” as a thread to connect the “shine” of different objects at different times. By the way, the three poems pictured above also use the bixing technique. Each capital letter has two paragraphs (sentences) or three or four paragraphs (sentences) of bixing, and the last paragraph (sentence) is xing. For the final service, the last paragraph (sentence) is the intention of the poem.

Lesson 4

The fourth way of thinking about children's poetry

Stream of consciousness method

When you see something, there are all types of thoughts, left and right, forward and backward, up and down, outward and inward, light and dark, etc. This type of thinking is the stream of consciousness in your mind, which is why it is called stream of consciousness. The ref techniqueLexion of stream of consciousness can give you a fuller and deeper understanding of a certain thing in your mind. In the process of knowledge, we should not forget the new things we have learned, and we should avoid things that others consider bad. The commonly used stream-of-consciousness thinking method can cultivate a person's comprehensive, deep and creative thinking habits in understanding things.

Please read the children's poem "Question Mark" below:

The question mark,

is a naughty boy,

you always don't know what to do.

Question mark,

is a shy girl,

always makes me guess what she's thinking.

Question mark,

is an endless mountain,

you can get treasure by breaking the blockade.

Question mark,

is a strong ship,

taking us towards our great goal.

The little poet had various thoughts when he saw the question mark. He selected four representative elements closely related to the function of the question mark and wrote them down. The question mark is like a naughty boy or a shy girl. That’s the beauty of appearance. It is like an endless mountain, leading us towards a great goal. This is the essence of the question mark seen through appearance. , the knowledge bank, which is the technology that cannot be exhausted Development etc. Consciousness penetrates deep into reason, which gives rise to the depth and creativity of poetry.

The stream-of-consciousness method of thinking is the complete opposite of the editing technique. The montage technique is multi-object, single-feature thinking, and the stream-of-consciousness method is diffuse thinking. of an object, several functionalities.

Please enjoy the children's poem "Tree" below:

The tree is like a strong door,

blocking the strong wind and sand

The tree is like a tape recorder.

It records noise and brings tranquility.

The tree is so useful to us,

We cannot leave out its kindness.

Seeing the tree, the young author thought of the function of the tree, blocking wind and dust, sweeping away the turbid air, suppressing noise, and bringing tranquility. However, depending on the function, he thought about it. doors, brooms and tape recorders. Then he suggested protecting the trees and had an idea. One thing (tree) severalAs the elements (door, broom, tape recorder) are obvious.

Again enjoy the children's poem "Between classmates"

Between classmates,

there is a clear stream,

flowing,

Sincerity and purity transparentes.

Among classmates,

there is fertile ground,

where colorful trust and honesty grow

p>< p> Between the classmates,

there was a scene of bright morning light,

sparkling,

of flaming hopes quarreling the day and the night.

Lesson 5

The fifth way of thinking about children's poetry

The connection method

The connection method is to combine a certain characteristic of an object associated with a certain personality trait of a person. We usually say “plum blossoms like snow all over the sky”. This plum blossom mocks the snowflakes' incompetence. You can't freeze me to death, but I thrive despite the cold. Doesn't this connect the growth characteristics of plum blossoms with people's strong will? The key to writing children's poems using the connection method is to identifythe characteristics of the objects. Generally speaking, any object has two sides, with both advantages and disadvantages. We need to fully explore the benefits of objects and discover this positive and upward side to integrate it with people's thoughts, feelings, will, behavior and spirit. you can write a good poem.

For example, “Glass”:

Pure,

Like our souls.

Brilliant,

Like our future.

Transparent,

Let us know right from wrong.

The appearance characteristics of glass are pure, bright and transparent, which is related to our life principles. The soul should be pure and the future is bright. Life must shine. We must see clearly and differentiate between good and evil. We need to be transparent when looking at issues so we can tell right from wrong.

Another example is "Mountain":

You are a majestic warrior,

pwearing hard armor,

not afraid of thunder. ,

not afraid of the rain,

everyone

looks at you with admiration.

You see, the author understands that he is writing about mountains. In fact, he uses mountains as a metaphor for people, telling us that as a human being, we should be like the mountains and not be afraid of difficulties. , treat difficulties as dirt, and be a person who admires others. This poem describes the mountains. The characteristics of appearance are related to the spiritual quality of people, and the image is vivid.

Another example is "Meteor":

You, dragging a long tail,

sink into the night sky.

A short life

creates the glory of life.

A meteor is a natural phenomenon that occurs in an instant. But when it passed at this time, it was particularly bright, illuminating the entire sky. The glory of this momentof life is already remarkable. The young author combines a certain natural phenomenon with life, and the pursuit of life should also be the same.

Of course, the connection method is not limited to the connection between things and people. It can also connect things to each other, allowing the mind to expand and fly away.
