Mistake

我们刚到家就下雨起来。(X)

应改为:我们刚到家就下起雨来。(Ok)

Teaching Skill

Verb + 起来:

1.语言点解析:

“起来”引申义表示动作或状态并继续。

2.语言点导入:

教师联系生活实际,进行导入。

师说:现在是春天了,天气怎么样?

生说:天气开始暖和了。

师说:对,以后还会继续暖和,我们用“起来”怎么说呢?

生说:天气暖和起来了。

师说:很好,当我们想说某个动作或者状态,在某一个时间点开始,而且要继续下去的时候,可以说“……起来”

总结格式:Verb / Adjective + 起来

师说:我们可以说“春天了,天气渐渐暖和起来了。”

(学生可以重复教师说的句子)

师说:刚才天气还很好,现在突然下雨了,而且一直下,越下越大。

生说:刚才天气还很好,现在突然下雨起来了。

师说:这里要注意一下,正确的语序是:Verb+起+Object +来。下起雨来,不能说“下雨起来”。

生说:刚才天气还很好,现在突然下起雨来了。

师说:非常好。

 

Verb + 起来:

1.语言点解析:

“起来”引申义表示恢复记忆。

2.教师联系课堂情景,进行导入。

师说:他叫什么名字?我突然忘了。

生说:他的名字老师想不起来了。

师说:让我想想,啊!我想起来了,他叫……

生说:他的名字老师想起来了。

3.语言点操练:

联系课堂和生活实际,提问操练。

师说:(教师在白板上写一个新学的汉字)这个字怎么读?

师说: 你们看,照片上房间怎么样?

生说:太乱了。

师说:对,房间太乱了,我们要怎样做?

生说:收拾一下。

师说:很好。我们用“Verb+起来”的格式可以说……?

生说:房间太乱了,快把东西收拾起来吧!(板书)

师说:很好。当我们想表示一个东西或者很多东西从分散集中到一起的时候,就可以用“Verb+起来”的格式。

我们看第二张图片,这个女孩的头发现在是什么样子的?

生说:她披散着头发。

师说:好。跑步的时候,你们觉得散着头发方便还是扎起来方便?

(教师可以边说边做“扎头发”的动作)

生说:跑步的时候,把头发扎起来更方便。(板书)

师说:很好。常和“起来”一起使用的动词还有:捆、串、收、集中、积累、收集、团结等等。
