8、Paragraph 2: Bob went to get the bill and when he returned he saw the truck driver talking oncell phone._【思维路径】核心内容 文本主要内容为:一个卡车司机在饭店吃饭,看到一位老太太受到饭店老板的热情招待。出于好奇,他询问老板Bob其中缘由。原来Mrs. Cosby曾经是Bob的老师。她用赞美和肯定的教学态度以及每月一张的优点记录单一点点改变了那些像Bob一样长期被否定的差生,使他们重拾信心、认真学习。写作思路(1)明确故事人物关系(characters)。卡车司机、饭店老板Bob、服务员们
9、、Mrs. Cosby。(2)理清故事主要事件(events)。卡车司机吃饭;Mrs. Cosby受到热情招待;好奇询问;Mrs. Cosby和学生们的故事。(3)根据已知人物、事件及续写段落首句预测故事发展(development)。故事总体的发展应该是在毕业那天,Mrs. Cosby赠送了学生毕业礼物并一如既往地鼓励他们,卡车司机听完Mrs. Cosby的故事后,应该受到感动和启发,可能会给妻子打电话并学着像Mrs. Cosby一样赞美妻子。续写第一段:毕业典礼上,Mrs. Cosby把每月一张的优点记录单集结成册,送给每一位学生,同时鼓励他们相信自己,去实现自己的理想。续写第二段:卡车司

12、All the encouraging papers through the years were there, in hard cover. She wanted us to keep that book. Whenever we felt unworthy, open it and read how good we were.

15、because I want to show my attitude. Just wanted to let you know you are the best cook I have ever met! Thats your strength! You will? Great, see you in the evening! Love you too!” 范文解析 范文围绕文章的内容进行了合情合理的拓展。Mrs. Cosby一直以赞美和肯定的态度挖掘学生的优点。因此,第一段毕业典礼时,她送给每位学生精心装订的每月优点清单合集。一个月一个月逐渐积累下来的册子凝聚了Mrs. Cosby对学生的信
16、任和肯定。Mrs. Cosby最后一次激励学生相信自己、追求梦想。第二段,卡车司机听完这样一个令人动容和深思的故事,又看到了饭店老板和服务员们积极乐观的现状,深受触动。在给妻子打例行电话时,不由自主地改变态度学着去称赞和肯定妻子,令妻子意外和惊喜。这样的思路非常符合故事发展的逻辑。最后一段司机的做法首尾呼应,突出赞美的巨大影响力,突出故事的主题。提炼归纳 1. 合理拓展情节 读后续写离不开对文本的把握和合理的推测。在正确理解的基础上才能对故事的发展做出合情合理又合乎逻辑的预测。为了使故事发展更具明确性,可以通过设问等方式将故事的后续发展凸显出来,以便于续写时信息的整理以及恰当的语言组织。在本练
17、习中,我们通过一系列的问题来拓展并整理自己的写作思路。第一段的设问以Mrs. Cosby为主体,正面描写Mrs. Cosby对学生的付出;第二段的设问以卡车司机为表达的主体,侧面描写Mrs. Cosby的赞美和肯定的态度对他人带来的巨大影响。 2. 首尾呼应,升华主题 这是赞美产生的奇迹。这个奇迹没有通过直接的描述,而是通过这种态度的受益者饭店老板Bob之口进行叙述,卡车司机作为故事的聆听者,和读者一起感受Mrs. Cosby带给学生的巨大变化,体会着赞美对人的巨大影响。作为一个完整的故事,在写作上做到首尾呼应常常必不可少。根据故事情节,首尾呼应不仅使故事情节具有严密性,还突出了故事的中心,升
