基于协同性的读后续写教学实践

浙江 袁宏阳

一、引言

2016年10月开始，浙江省英语高考试题出现读后续写新题型。面对新题型，师生都有陌生感和困惑感。从学生的续写作品来看，多出现人物关系混乱、情节构思不合理、语言表达与原文脱节等问题。总结起来，就是读后续写中的低协同性，其主要原因也在于“读”。从教学角度来看，教师出现重写轻读、重语言轻思维、重练习轻指导等问题。读后续写，顾名思义，先读后写，读写结合；读是写的前提和目标，写是读的拓展和顺延。因此，协同性是高质量读后续写的重要风向标，具有重要指导意义。

二、教学分析

1. 教学内容分析

笔者以如下语篇和题目要求为例，尝试了基于协同性的读后续写教学：

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home,and I told her everything. She was ready for me.“No Santa Claus?!” she shouted, “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad.”

“Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”

“Go where, Grandma?” I asked.“Where”turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of almost everything. As we walked through its door,Grandma handed me ten dollars.“Take this money,”she said,“and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.

I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself.The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out at recess（课间休息）during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! My eyes settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.

“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down.“Yes.”

The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

本篇教学文本为一份高考模拟试卷中读后续写题型的材料，这篇文章讲述了圣诞节前夕发生的小事：身为小孩的“我”不相信姐姐告诉“我”的没有圣诞老人这回事，就去问奶奶。奶奶便带“我”到商店，给了“我”十美元，让“我”买一样礼物送给“我”认为需要它的人。东西买回来后，奶奶帮“我”包装好。而续写部分有两段，每段开头语已给定，要求续写短文的词数为150左右，并要求续写中必须使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词。……
