【摘要】为了提高读后续写教学的有效性,本文以浙江省2017年11月英语高考读后续写原文为例,解析了如何一步步设问引导学生更有效地进行读后续写。
【关键词】读后续写,设问
一、引言
本文属于记叙文。故事情节清晰明了,人物关系简单,语言描述朴实。本文阅读难度不高,两段续写段首句也比较简单。
二、教学过程
步骤一:读文本标题
T: To begin with, read the title and tell me what you should refer to in your continuation writing according to the title.
T: What does “with” suggest?
【设计说明】:本环节旨在引导学生充分挖掘有标题文本中标题所能提供的信息,能够分析标题、词、句等信息,并进行逻辑推理。
步骤二:细读文本,梳理情节发展
【Reading for the plot and conflict】
Step 1: Read quickly to catch the basic information about the story: setting, characters and event.
Teacher can ask students the following questions:
1. When did the story happen?
2. Who are mentioned in the story? What’s the relationship among them?
3. What would they do during the trip?
【设计说明】:学生快速重读文本,找出故事发生的时间、人物和主要事件。尤其是对“what”的梳理,有助于学生理清故事发展脉络,初步了解续写两段可能涉及的内容。
Step 2: Ask students to read paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 to find out what happened during the trip.
Teacher can ask students the following questions:
1. What happened during the trip?
2. What’s the conflict between Mom and other family members?
【设计说明】:本环节旨在通过讨论旅途中发生的事件,找出并分析文本中出现的矛盾冲突---“妈妈要在别人家的院子里搭帐篷而我们和父亲都不同意”,同时也引导学生抓住关键人物妈妈的性格品质。
【Reading for the character’s personalities】
Teacher can ask students the following questions:
1. What kind of person is Mom?
2. What supporting sentences can you find to convey Mom’s personalities?
3. What’s my childhood like due to Mom’s personalities? --- an interesting childhood; filled with surprises and amusements
【设计说明】:结合Mom性格特征回顾para.1,学生会对续写故事的基调更加清晰,即由于Mom的“forgetful, absent-minded”所导致的一次“interesting/surprising/amusing/strange trip”。
步骤三:分析续写两段已给首句
T: What will we write about in this paragraph?
T: What detailed description can we have in this situation?
T: What will we write about in paragraph 2 after the first sentence---We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way?
T: Was there any interesting thing/surprise in paragraph 2?
【设计说明】:续写两段的段首句能在一定程度上限制学生写作的方向,因此我们需要仔细研读分析每段段首句并且考虑到两段之间的逻辑联系和故事走向。在引导学生的过程中还要启发学生注意人物情绪、动作描写和环境描写等,从而丰富续写内容,并让学生了解到“续写中需要细节描写以充实文本”这一写作技巧。
步骤四:续写、分享与评价
Q1: Are there any key words?
Q2: Is the plot and content logical?
Q3: Is the context coherent?
Q4: Is Mom’s personalities changed?
Q5: Are there any good sentences and advanced vocabulary?
【设计说明】:通过评价,学生能更深刻了解自己写作中的不足,加以改进,并且促进了学生评判性思维的发展。
四、结束语
本次教学活动通过“读前导入---文本细读探究---读后续写”这三大部分,培养学生在阅读中关注续写任务的意识。另外,教师引导学生模仿原文本中的語言与句型,并通过对人物情绪,动作和环境等进行细致具体的描写来丰富续写内容。
