Henry needs to face the problem of how to handle and manage this huge sum of money， while also dealing with the social attention and various changes in interpersonal relationships brought by this wealth. This is not only a test of his wisdom， but also a test of his character and values.

在理解故事情節與人物特點的基礎上，學生確定寫作主題，包括人物性格的轉變、情節的發展、故事的轉折等。學生選擇一個與原故事相關且具有吸引力的主題，在確定寫作主題后，拓展思路，為續寫提供更多的素材與靈感，思考人物在故事中的成長、變化，及情節的轉折、發展等。結合自己的生活經驗與情感體驗，為續寫注入個人特色。在確定主題和拓展思路后，學生搭建邏輯框架，為續寫提供清晰的寫作結構，根據故事情節的發展與人物性格的轉變設計合理的情節發展與轉折點，使續寫內容與原故事保持緊密聯系。

六、開展寫作實踐

在確定寫作主題和思路之后，教師引導學生進行寫作實踐。學生根據自己的想法與故事情節的發展進行自由寫作。教師給予學生適當的指導，提供寫作技巧、例句等。在The Million Pound Bank Note的讀后續寫中，學生基于原文的故事情節和人物特點進行合理的想象，完成一篇符合故事邏輯與人物性格的短文。

（一）語言運用

He decided to use this wealth to contribute to the well-being of himself and others. Henry began to actively participate in social welfare undertakings， using his wealth and influence to help those in need. He established a charity foundation to provide education and medical assistance for impoverished children. He also actively participates in environmental protection， promoting urban greening and sustainable development.

（三）人物塑造

續寫應盡可能地延續人物的性格特點。原文中，主人公是一個善良、勇敢的人，因此，在續寫中，行為與言語也應體現出此特點，保持故事的一致性和連貫性。原文中的人物關系是怎樣的，在續寫中，可以進一步發展此類關系。續寫中，加強主人公與其他人物之間的關系，可以使他們之間的互動與對話更加豐富，使故事更加生動有趣。

原文中的人物可能有所成長，可以在續寫中得到反映。主人公在經歷了一系列事情后，可能變得更加成熟、理智，此種成長可以通過行為與言語表現出來。因此，在續寫中，可以進一步挖掘人物的內心世界。主人公的內心想法與感受在續寫中得到體現，可以使人物更加立體、豐滿，因此，可以通過人物的內心世界反映整個故事的主題和意義。

續寫范例：

（四）主題深化

學生在續寫過程中，根據原文的主題思想，對主題進行深化和拓展，可以使續寫內容更加具有思想性和深度。續寫時要注意主題與情節、人物之間的聯系，使主題更加自然地融入整個故事中。在開始續寫之前，深入理解原作的主題。The Million Pound Bank Note講述了一個關于財富、人性、命運和選擇的故事。學生要明確這個主題，并思考如何在續寫中進一步深化這個主題：可以探討財富對人性的影響，或者探討命運與選擇之間的關系，使續寫內容更加豐富和深入；可以探討社會中的貧富差距、道德淪喪等問題，使續寫內容更加具有時代感和現實意義。在續寫中，學生表達自己的觀點和見解，對某個主題提出自己的看法，或者對某個事件發表自己的評論，可以使續寫內容更加具有個性和思想性。

續寫范例：

Over time， Henry became a highly respected figure. His story inspires more people to pursue a meaningful life， pay attention to social welfare， and care for others. In the end， Henry realized that true wealth did not lie in money and material possessions， but in inner satisfaction and caring for others. He told the world through his own story that life is not about pursuing endless wealth and pleasure， but? pursuing a meaningful life.

續寫的這個故事情節與原文有很大的不同，但符合原文的主題和風格，并且拓展了原文的情節和人物形象。

通過本次教學實踐，學生更好地理解了The Million Pound Bank Note的故事情節與人物特點，掌握了讀后續寫的基本技巧和方法，閱讀理解能力和寫作表達能力得到了提高。部分學生在續寫過程中出現了跑題、語言不流暢等問題，需要進一步加強閱讀理解和寫作表達的訓練。教師可設計更多有針對性的訓練任務，加強對學生閱讀理解和寫作表達的指導，鼓勵學生多閱讀、多寫作，提高學生的閱讀理解和寫作表達能力。
