Red Classics multimodal texts integrate diverse media, including written language, images, audio, and video, to create immersive educational experiences. They constitute important teaching resources for implementing the Chinese language curriculum standards, transmitting revolutionary culture, and enhancing students' core competencies in Chinese language learning. Recently, the unified-edition secondary-school Chinese textbooks have established a comprehensive teaching system of Red Classics extending from junior to senior secondary education. However, current classroom integration remains constrained by the formalistic use of multimodal resources, limited pedagogical methods, and insufficiently differentiated instructional design across various educational stages. To address these critical problems, this study proposes a three-dimensional closed-loop teaching framework of "interpretation, design, and presentation" firmly grounded in the Chinese language curriculum standards. This innovative framework systematically deconstructs multimodal texts, guides students in collaborative instructional design, and facilitates dynamic classroom presentations. By closely aligning teaching objectives and interactive classroom activities with overarching curriculum requirements, the framework develops a systematic, scalable pathway for effective classroom practice. Furthermore, it provides a practical, evidence-based reference for seamlessly integrating revolutionary culture education into secondary-school Chinese language teaching, ultimately fostering deeper cultural confidence and linguistic proficiency among students. Ultimately, this research contributes to the broader discourse on multimodal pedagogy by demonstrating how structured textual analysis and creative expression can synergistically elevate both ideological education and language acquisition in modern educational contexts.References
