小結(jié)人們對待祥林嫂這個“嫁而再寡”的不幸女人態(tài)度：①、魯四老爺?shù)膽B(tài)度：不讓她干祭祀的活（71、73、75、108通過四嬸先后三喊“你放著罷”，殺人不見血地葬送了祥林嫂的性命。而其中尤以最后一次對其打擊最大）。魯四老爺站在頑固維護封建宗法制度的立場上，從精神上殘酷地虐殺她。他暗暗地告誡四嬸的那段話，就是置祥林嫂于死地而又不露一絲血痕的軟刀子。②、魯四嬸的態(tài)度：魯四嬸是“大戶人家的太太”，頭一次留祥林嫂是看她能干，祥林嫂被婆家綁架走以后，她害怕給自己家惹麻煩。之后她惦念祥林嫂不是因為關(guān)心她的命運，而是自己的傭人都沒有祥林嫂那樣可心。以后祥林嫂再來，她“起初還躊躕”，后來倒是真心憐憫祥林嫂，留下她。但是祥林嫂不像過去那樣靈活能干了，四嬸開始“不滿”，進而“警告”，最后把祥林嫂趕出家門?？梢哉f，四嬸只是把祥林嫂當成一件工具罷了，沒有把她當人來看。
人教版高中歷史必修3美術(shù)的輝煌教案2篇
畫中的諸多圖像反映了畫家對于傳統(tǒng)繪畫因素的吸收。那個懷抱死去孩子的母親圖像，似乎是源自哀悼基督的圣母像傳統(tǒng)；手持油燈的女人，使人聯(lián)想起自由女神像的造型；那個高舉雙手仰天驚呼的形象，與戈雅畫中愛國者就義的身姿不無相似之處；而那個張臂倒地的士兵形象，則似乎與意大利文藝復興早期某些戰(zhàn)爭畫中的形象，有著姻親關(guān)系。由此可以看出，畢加索不僅是一位富于叛逆精神的大膽創(chuàng)新者，同時也是一位尊崇和精通傳統(tǒng)的藝術(shù)家。教師須強調(diào)：現(xiàn)代主義美術(shù)是現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派的總稱，現(xiàn)代美術(shù)流派眾多，多姿多彩，但它們也表現(xiàn)出許多共同的特征。在技法上，它們大都反對傳統(tǒng)的寫實主義，追求新奇，空間結(jié)構(gòu)錯亂，色彩配置隨意，點線紊亂，缺乏透視可謂它們共有的特點。在創(chuàng)作主旨上，它們都主張強調(diào)自我，表現(xiàn)個人情感和內(nèi)心世界。可以說，現(xiàn)代美術(shù)藝術(shù)再現(xiàn)了20世紀西方世界的精神狀況。

人教版高中歷史必修1辛亥革命教案2篇
①從政府人員組成看，南京政府是一個以資產(chǎn)階級革命派為主體的政府。②從政府頒發(fā)的法令和措施看，這些法令體現(xiàn)了資產(chǎn)階級民主革命的要求，對于發(fā)展民族資本主義經(jīng)濟、資產(chǎn)階級民主政治和文化教育以及改革社會風氣，都起了積極作用。③從頒布的《中華民國臨時約法》看，憲法體現(xiàn)了三權(quán)分立的政治體制，體現(xiàn)了資產(chǎn)階級民主主義的要求，是中國歷史上第一部資產(chǎn)階級民主憲法，具有反封建專制制度的進步意義。（2）從南京臨時政府的內(nèi)外政策分析南京政府的根本弱點①未徹底地反封建。它沒有采取比較徹底的反對封建主義的措施，特別是對封建統(tǒng)治的基礎(chǔ)——地主階級土地所有制沒有觸動，這樣，南京臨時政府也就不能真正地把廣大人民群眾動員起來，因而缺乏真正的群眾基礎(chǔ)。
人教版高中歷史必修2羅斯福新政教案
【教學參考】對“新政”作用的評價史學界對“新政”作用的評價是仁者見仁、智者見智，但基本上有三種觀點，即“功大于過論”、“過大于功論”和“功過參半論”。持“功大于過論”者認為“新政”在美國歷史上基本上是一種進步現(xiàn)象，首先，“新政”挽救了危機，使美國人民擺脫了危機的困苦局面；其次，在缺少足夠的宏觀經(jīng)濟政策知識的時代，羅斯福所做的努力確實是開創(chuàng)性的；再次，羅斯福“新政”開啟了美國以后歷屆政府實施國家干預政策的大門，成為緩解自由主義經(jīng)濟制度之弊病的一劑良方，并在實質(zhì)上加強了美國聯(lián)邦政府的權(quán)威；最后，在30年代資本主義世界經(jīng)濟危機的背景下，同日本、德國為轉(zhuǎn)嫁危機而發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭的策略相比，“新政”無疑代表了一種進步、民主的解救危機方式。持“過大于功論”者認為“新政”未能使美國走出蕭條、步入繁榮。
