■写作项目——Write a continuation of a story
本单元的写作任务是读后续写。读后续写是一种将阅读与写作紧密结合的考查形式，旨在考查学生的综合语言运用能力。要求学生在尽可能短的时间内，了解所给材料的核心信息，梳理内容的发展脉络。在读明白的基础上，根据所提供的两段的开头语，围绕主题和关键信息进行读写构思，巧妙地预设故事的走向，合理地解决故事中的冲突，最后达到一个完美的结局。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
本篇课文是Lesson 3中故事的续写，总结框架结构如下：
二、学要点构思
续写故事需要根据原文内容提炼核心信息，把握文章的脉络，了解文章大意。然后遵循原文的故事线索，构思故事发展，解决文章的矛盾冲突，达到情节的升华。如本文续写故事线索如下：
Setting We were taken into the underwater ship.
Characters I, Ned, Conseil, and two seamen.
New plot What we would experience inside the machine.
The development of the story ·We slowly got used to the new environment. ·We were examined carefully. ·We were offered some food and questioned.
Ending We couldn't go home for the moment.
三、学语言风格
1．开篇通过环境描写(如aboard the machine、All was black等)以及人物动作描写(如shook with cold、 could hear、 breathing quickly等)巧妙地衔接原文，使读者身临其境，感受到紧张的气氛。
2．续写中有许多关于情感的描写，如课文中“I could hear Ned and Conseil breathing quickly.They were nervous, too.”表现了人物紧张的心理状态；“‘We will die in this prison！’cried Ned.”表现了人物恐惧的心理状态。
3．采用人物的有效对话以及描述心理活动的方式(如made me realise、 ate in silence、 smiled 等)对故事进行拓展，突出了续写故事的写作特点。
4．状语的恰当使用可以使动作描写更生动，也可以更好地渲染某种氛围，如课文中用“quickly”修饰动词“breathe”，形象地刻画出Ned和Conseil紧张的状态。
5．续写故事中第二段第一句采用比喻的修辞手法，把机器比作“prison”，更加形象地描绘出机器内部的情景，并从侧面刻画出了人物此时压抑的心理状态。
具体写作指导
Write a continuation of The Last Leaf
——续写《最后一片叶子》
续写短文多以记叙故事类文章或夹叙夹议类文章为主，线索逻辑强，故事经常曲折跌宕。要求读写并重，阅读需要精确理解，续写需要大胆推断但不能偏离主题。续写步骤如下：
第一步：精读全文，确定线索
精读全文首先要解决好五个W和一个H的问题，即理清人物(who)、地点(where)、时间(when)、事件(what)、原因(why)及怎样发展(how)，然后根据关键词理清故事发展的线索。
如根据故事The Last Leaf的基本要素，可梳理故事的线索为：
第二步：构思情节，谋篇布局
以原文结尾为起点，分析两段所给出的首句开头，按照原文中情节发展的逻辑特征，展开尽可能丰富的想象，构思情节发展，预测故事的结局。如根据下面The Last Leaf故事中续写第一、二段的首句可用设问的方式预测情节的发展：
Para.1.Tears came to Johnsy's eyes as she knew what Mr Behrman had done for her.
Q1: What were her feelings
Q2: What did she do
Q3: What would she say to Mr Behrman
Para.2.Ten years later, Johnsy became a famous painter due to her dedication and hard work.
Q1: What would she do when she realized her dream
Q2: How did she feel when she remembered the past
Q3: What was Mr Behrman's influence on her paintings
第三步：理清逻辑，优化语言
结合原文的写作风格及文中的关键词语拟写草稿。写作手法上以记叙为主，描写上以动作描写为主，情节的发展要合乎逻辑。所续写的内容在主题、人物、线索及语言风格上要与原文保持一致，表现为上下文衔接自然，前后情节互相照应。
第四步：巧用多种写作手法
作为记叙文的一种辅助表达方式，细节描写对加强文章的表现力发挥着重要的作用，因此，要善于捕捉细节、刻画细节。有时还可以使用比喻、拟人、夸张等修辞手法。此外，议论、抒情的表达方式对记叙文主题的展现也发挥着重要作用。
第五步：构织画面，合理收尾
后续结果要体现出把握现在、展望未来，结尾应该是积极向上的。无论续写的内容多么曲折离奇、惊心动魄，在结尾部分一定要积极、乐观。
[针对练笔]
试根据The Last Leaf内容的分析和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
Tears came to Johnsy's eyes as she knew what Mr Behrman had done for her.

Tears came to Johnsy's eyes as she knew what Mr Behrman had done for her.Johnsy was very moved by the selfless act of her neighbor, Mr Behrman, and felt a mixture of gratitude and regret.She gently stroked the brushstrokes of the last ivy leaf, which she now knew was Behrman's masterpiece, only to inspire her to keep fighting.With a heavy heart, Johnsy wished she could thank Behrman in person, eager to tell him how his selfless act had changed the course of her life forever.
Ten years later, Johnsy became a famous painter due to her dedication and hard work.Inspired by Behrman's faith in her and his sacrifice, Johnsy threw herself into her art with vigor.While she was proud of her accomplishments, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness that Behrman didn't live to see the fruits of his sacrifice.Johnsy's paintings often capture themes of sacrifice, perseverance and the strength of the human spirit, all of which are deeply influenced by Behrman's lasting impact on her life.(共69张PPT)

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafés, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course, she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city？”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later, she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
注意：1.续写词数应为80左右；

She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up.She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life.Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life.
[阅读拓展训练]
In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles.She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children's access to books in wealthy and low-income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks.“I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand-new books because they didn't have room in the library，” said Constantino.She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap.“School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all，” said Constantino.“If you're a child in an underserved community, you're left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”
The word about Constantino's work was spread, and books began piling up.Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public-school and community libraries across California.The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space.Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in.“We're working together.It's not a gift; it's a partnership.It really builds a sense of community，” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids.Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read.We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming.
So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give.My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”

In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles.She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children's access to books in wealthy and low income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks.“I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand new books because they didn't have room in the library，” said Constantino.She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap.“School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all，” said Constantino.“If you're a child in an underserved community, you're left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books.”
The word about Constantino's work was spread, and books began piling up.Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1.5 million books to public school and community libraries across California.The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space.Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in.“We're working together.It's not a gift; it's a partnership.It really builds a sense of community，” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids.Constantino said, “If we provide high interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read.We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming.So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give.My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
1．Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A．To prepare for a PhD.
B．To reduce the waste of books.
C．To donate more books to poor communities.
D．To figure out kids' ways of gaining reading books.
2．How did Constantino bridge the gap
A．By obtaining donated books.
B．By raising money on the street.
C．By founding a profitable organization.
D．By getting support from the local government.
3．Which of the following can best describe Constantino's work
A．Challenging. B．Successful.
C．Depressing. D．Doubtful.
4．What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A．They can turn to writers on campus.
B．They are more willing to read books.
C．They donate their own books to school libraries.
D．They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.

Dear Bob，
I'm very glad to know that you're interested in Chinese culture, especially Tang poetry.As you know, Tang poetry is a very important literary form which enjoys great popularity in China.Tang poems represent the traditional Chinese culture and are popular all over the world.
As the golden age of poems, the Tang Dynasty produced many outstanding poets, among whom Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi were the most well known in history.When it comes to poems, you'd better grasp the meaning firstly, and then try to recite the whole poem.If you choose the right method and work hard, your learning ability can be improved.
Welcome to China and I'm looking forward to your view about the Tang poems.
Yours，
Li Hua
