思维导图助推情节构思

程志丽

【 问题导读】

读后续写以读为辅，以写为主。读，要求学生把握语篇基本要素和主题，获取原文的情节发展，推断人物性格，挖掘可续写点；写，要求學生构思故事情节，运用准确且丰富的语言，合理进行续写。在整个读写过程中，学生在构思情节时或天马行空，令人不知所云；或集中于某一细节，过多陈述；或无从下手，所写寥寥数词。那么，如何合理推进情节呢？我们可以借助思维导图！思维导图可以用来构建框架，为读后续写助力。

【 名师导学】

思维导图是一种运用图像式思维的工具，是一种将思维形象化的方法，可以用来构建框架、细化语言等。学生在阅读的同时可以通过寻找中心句或关键词、句的方法来梳理文章各部分内容，这有利于把握文章主旨、梳理文章结构；而进一步围绕主题或某个关键点梳理各部分的细节，有助于把握文章细节以及语言。思维导图的种类很多，有树状图、气泡图、流程图、括号图、故事山、鱼骨图等。在构思故事情节时将括号图（brace map）和流程图（flow map）结合起来使用，可以帮助我们明确整体（段落梗概）和局部（包括段首语在内的情节发展）的关系并合理推进故事情节。

【 案例导引】

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

60?year?old Richard Olsen had retired from his work. He was very interested in adventureand hunting. This time he hunted on a land near Watford City， N.D.， in the underpopulatedwestern part of the state. In a cold winter， he tried a new spot and forgot to bring hiscell phone. He hiked more than half a mile with two dogs to a harvested wheat field.

Eyes fixed on the horizon in expectation of another pheasant （野鸡） taking flight，Richard stepped on a thin crust（ 硬层） of snow on a canal. It collapsed and he dropped.

Realizing that he was in trouble and was going to hurt himself， Richard was suddenlypicking up a lot of speed. His left leg hit first， and he lay on his side to reach for his shot?gun， unloaded it and used it as a walking stick. When he was partly up， he slipped and slidback down， because one of his feet got stuck between two rocks. Richard told himself that ifhe didn't get himself out of the canal， he wasn't going to have a very good night.

Richard got his foot free and climbed more slowly and cautiously out of the canal.Richard immediately realized the difficulty of the task before him. The accident occurred atabout 2 pm， and it was nearly 5 pm with the road far away and the sun setting.

Richard focused on crawling to safety. Even with his guns support， hopping wasimpractical. Instead， he sat down and pushed himself backward less than 40 inches at atime with his good leg. He was stubborn and sure that he must hold on. He was tiredout and had more frequent breaks. Temperatures dropped below zero overnight， and hisgloves and boots got wet. His hands and feet soon were completely numb.

Paragraph 1：

Richard's dogs had been playing in the field and eventually came up to him. Seeingtheir owner in bad situation， the two dogs surrounded his body to warm him while barkingwildly. Moved and motivated， Richard finally struggled to one side of the road with the helpof his dogs. Exhausted and painful as he was， he still tried to wave down a driver for fearthat he might lose consciousness at any time. He waved and the dogs barked wildly butwith no reply from any car. With six cars speeding by and the daylight fading out， a wave offrustration and helplessness gradually swallowed him up.

Paragraph 2：

However， gleams of daylight remained—Richard saw the seventh car. Gathering all hisstrength， he waved his hands wildly again， hoping for good luck. Fortunately， this time thecar stopped. The driver rolled down the window， and when he saw Richards situation， hegot off instantly， rushed to Richard， assisted him in coming into the car and drove to hospitalat full speed. In a weak voice， Richard extended his heartfelt gratitude. Finally， Richardgot rescued and cured. From then on， whenever he went hunting in new spots， he wouldtake his cell phone and any time he was confronted with a terrible situation， he would encouragehimself to stick to the end with this accident.

【模擬导练】

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

One Sunday last year， eight of us hiked for a couple of hours through the desert nearSan Diego to reach Thunder Canyon Cave. We had to abseil （沿绳滑下） through an icywaterfall to get inside， so we put on our wetsuits and lowered ourselves 30 feet down. By11：00 am， we were inside. After we climbed further， we reached a nine?inch crack. Havingmoved for four hours， I was tired and wet.

The group leader， Luca， was guiding three cavers. One of them， Steve got stuck in thecrack. There was 10 minutes of pulling and pushing until Steve was free. He was tired andneeded to leave. Luca， assuming I'd been through the crack before， guided Steve throughthe cave for another 15 minutes to an exit. I was the second from last to go through. I didn't realize that Luca wasn't there—if I'd known， I wouldn't have attempted the crack， as Ineeded an experienced guide.

The challenge is to put your feet first down the length of the crack， and then move yourbody sideways to swing along， before dropping five feet to the floor of the next space. On myfirst attempt， I knew I wouldn't make it through， but the group encouraged me to try again. Ididn't want to inconvenience anyone by having to make the long trip back through the cave，so I backed out and took off my wetsuit. In just my T?shirt， I tried to slide through again butmy hips （臂部） were trapped. My feet were hanging on the other side and my left arm supportedmy body. My hand rested on a wooden board that had been left covering boulders （巨石） to protect cavers from slipping. Luca returned and the team tried everything to shift meas I mentally focused on escape.

After two hours my arms weakened， so I slid further into the crack， where the gap wasonly 8.5 inches wide. My body weight was on my left hand， my back and chest touching thecold stone walls. The guy behind me， Jim， tried unsuccessfully to pull me back. Of course， Iwas blocking his escape， too.

注意：續写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1：

With the risk of the low body temperature， the group supplied me with their own jackets.__________

Paragraph 2：

After eight hours， Luca found the rescue team._____________
