Learning Ability: Use mind maps to organize information about Zhao Yue and her art. II. Key & Difficult Points Key: Understanding the text structure; grasping the symbolic meaning of "bamboo" and "double happiness."

Teaching Procedures Step 1: Pre-reading Activity: Show a complex paper-cut of "Bamboo" and one of "Double Happiness." Problem Chain: · Q1: "Look at the bamboo picture. Is it just a plant? What might it represent in Chinese culture?" (Safety, resilience). · Q2: "The title says 'An Art Full of Life'. How can paper be 'alive'?" (Elicit curiosity).

(Flowers, birds, landscapes). 3: Deep Reading (Inference & Emotion) Focus Sentence: "The bamboo seems to be alive, and the leaves look like they are dancing." · Q3: "Paper cannot dance. Why does the writer say this?" (Metaphor for skill/vividness). · Q4: "Zhao Yue says 'Anyone can try it,' but she is a 'master.' What does that mean?" (Easy to start, hard to master - requires practice). Step 3: Post-reading Discussion (Part D): · Q5: "Some young people think paper-cutting is 'old-fashioned.' Why do you think it is becoming popular again (e.g., on Douyin)?" (Creativity, DIY trend, cultural confidence).
