Chapter 239: Rites
Looking at Umbridge's black face, Zhang Xu finally knew what Anthony meant when he said that they went first.
When the classmates had had enough, before Umbridge announced that he would lock them up, Zhang Xu coughed lightly and raised his right hand.
The air suddenly fell silent, and the students present looked at Umbridge on the podium for a while, and then at Zhang Xu who was sitting in the last row, with a look on their faces that a good show was about to be staged.
If this is a comic, then the place where Zhang Xu and Umbridge meet their eyes will draw a burst of electric light.
Zhang Xu knew that Umbridge wanted to ban the "rumors" of Voldemort's return, and her primary target was Dumbledore, and the secondary target was herself who was pulled out by Dumbledore to block the gun.
"Do you have any questions, Mr. Zhang?" Umbridge said with a dark face.
"I agree with what you just said, Professor Umbridge." Zhang Xu replied.
As soon as Zhang Xu's words fell, the students in the seats whispered about it, which was different from what they expected.
However, Eagle Academy is an academy that advocates using the brain to solve problems, and the students quickly quieted down, waiting to see how Zhang Xu performed.
Umbridge's face softened a little, and then asked, "Which point of view?" ”
"I very much agree with what you said just now, 'The teaching of this course has been intermittent and unsystematic.'" Zhang Xu replied.
"I think Defence Against the Dark Arts class, like any other subject, needs a syllabus for this subject."
"The syllabus includes the purpose of teaching, teaching requirements, teaching content, and so on. We should develop a document in the form of an outline according to the overall teaching plan, which stipulates the teaching content of a subject. ”
"The syllabus should include the teaching purpose, teaching tasks, and the scope, depth, structure, and progress of the teaching content, as well as the basic requirements of teaching methods, etc."
"The breadth and depth of the textbooks included in the EdUHK syllabus should generally be the minimum standards that students must meet."
"At the same time, the syllabus is also an important criterion for checking and evaluating students' academic performance and measuring the quality of teachers' teaching."
Umbridge thought at first that Zhang Xu was playing tricks like Anthony, and finally came to find fault.
But as Zhang Xu said more deeply, Umbridge's face softened, because what Zhang Xu said was very much in line with her, and it could also be said that it was in line with the views of the Ministry of Magic.
The syllabus is the guiding document for subject teaching, the logical framework of the course content, the teaching sequence, the guide for teaching work, and the reflection of the mastery of the course.
At Hogwarts, the development of the syllabus for each subject has been going on for several years under the leadership of Dumbledore, at the suggestion of Zhang Xu.
The syllabus for Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Herbs and other subjects has been largely completed.
So far, there are only two subjects left for the defense of the dark arts and the protection of magical creatures.
Even the syllabus for the history of magic class was compiled by Professor Binns.
Those subjects that have already completed the syllabus are those that the same professor has taught for many years, and they can combine their years of work experience to create a suitable syllabus for Hogwarts.
When Zhang Xu was compiling the syllabus for the Muggle Studies course, he also used letters to fully communicate with the authentic professor of the course, Professor Kairedi Bubaji.
The two subjects that do not have a syllabus are more problematic.
The professors of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class change every year, and most of them are not interested in teaching, one is thinking about getting the Philosopher's Stone, another is thinking about how to attract fans all day long, and the other is an undercover agent for the Death Eaters. Only Lupin got up, but then he quit.
There was also the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, where Professor Kettleburn stood up for the last shift and compiled the syllabus eighty percent. Just his successor...... Zhang Xu can only say "hehe" to this.
Umbridge's ability to climb to the position of deputy minister of magic shows that she still has a good level, but she puts all her energy into the power struggle.
Moreover, she had only been at Hogwarts for a short time, and she did not know about the subject syllabus.
So Zhang Xu plans to give her something to do first, so that she can take some of her mind away from the power struggle.
As for the syllabus she had written, it was probably a headache for Professor Snape.
Umbridge quickly figured out the key and found that this was a good breakthrough for her to meddle in Hogwarts teaching.
The students of Eagle Academy also agreed with Zhang Xu's words.
Think of the Charms class taught by his headmaster, Professor Flitwick, the Standard Spells, a set of books written by Miranda Goshawk for various subjects at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There are seven books in this set, each used in each of the seven years at Hogwarts, and it contains a variety of spells that students learn at school.
Looking at the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the past few years, Zhang Xu's views have naturally been agreed by the students.
After a pause to allow Umbridge and his classmates to digest what they had just said, Zhang Xu said, "I also agree with the 'Understanding the Fundamentals of Magical Defence' in the 'Course Objectives'. ”
Seeing that Zhang Xu agreed with his course goals, this was the first time in this week, Umbridge nodded and motioned for Zhang Xu to continue.
Zhang Xu continued: "The study of any magic is based on the study of its basic principles, and only by understanding the basic principles can we be regarded as mastering this magic. ”
Seeing that Umbridge didn't mean to stop him, Zhang Xu continued: "It is also necessary to learn the article 'learn to distinguish between occasions where you can legally use magic defense techniques'. The use of magic also depends on the occasion, and if you use inappropriate magic, it is easy to cause trouble or even harm to the people around you. ”
Umbridge was thinking at this point, you agreed with my first two course objectives, then the third one will agree with too, right?
Zhang's next remarks confirmed Umbridge's thoughts.
"It's especially important to 'evaluate Magical Defence in the context of practical use,' because there are many types of Magical Defence, and not all of them are useful in a particular situation. It is a basic and important ability to quickly determine whether various magical defense techniques are suitable for use according to the actual situation on the scene. ”
Zhang Xu's words made sense, and the students present nodded one after another, and Umbridge also nodded, which was the most harmonious moment since Umbridge took over.
"Very well said, very good insight." Umbridge said, "Ravenclaw College plus fifty points." ”
The students present were in an uproar, this was the first time that Umbridge had given the academy extra points in class.
This is also the class of the Eagle Academy that Zhang Xu dared to say this, the students of the Eagle Academy will use their brains to think about Zhang Xu's speech, as long as it makes sense, they will naturally agree.
If Zhang Xu had said this in the class of the Lion Academy, he would have been classified as a traitor by those guys who think about problems with their butts.
As for whether Zhang Xu will fall to Umbridge's side, the students of Eagle Academy don't believe it.
They have seen a lot of Zhang's play of saluting first and then soldiering.
What Zhang advocates is seeking common ground while reserving differences, he often "salutes" on the "same" first, praises you again, and makes you think that he is in the same group as you. And then on the "other" "soldier", if you can't refute him, he will press you to the ground and rub you hard.
So a group of students looked at Zhang Xu with expectant eyes, expecting him to say the words that once made them hate.
"But I have a slightly different point of view that I'd like to discuss with you, Professor Umbridge."
"It's coming!" The students of Eagle Academy immediately cheered up and entered the theater mode.
