發現了某娃小學一年級上學期的一篇說明文的草稿如下。我要是虎爸，肯定會說：平鋪直敘的厲害。其實我想bso，bso點是當時娃去圖書館查了好幾本書花了好幾個小時收集了資料。當然咯，這個彰顯當時我們電腦水平較差。
收集資料意味著娃肯定會記錄書上怎麽寫的。讓他自己寫，多多少少有了一個模仿的底子。甚至娃原句照抄，在某一個階段，對孩子也是有幫助的--至少他迅速能寫出東西。這樣就有機會練習寫作的很多環節。你寫不出來就練習不到對不對。比如說，改動敘事結構，比如說安排人物對話，甚至有餘裕去描寫描寫風景，這些寫作元素，如果一開始你“賴皮”，借用了別人的框架/情節/設定，你就有機會去練習。你自己絞盡腦汁設計情節/框架/設定，就未必有功夫有機會去操心這些寫作元素。另一個角度來講，這樣的“賴皮”對娃的心理暗示也是好的：我是會寫東西的。
說明文如此，故事也一樣，很多娃最早在學校寫的東西是看過的故事改頭換麵交上去的。很多小孩，家長覺得他寫作不好，其實是因為孩子“死腦筋”，非得自己憋出一個自己的東西來。很多家長實際上期望的是：孩子有獨立創作的能力，這個要求未免太高--慚愧地表示，我們孩子都十一年級了，獨立創作的能力還差得遠。當然我們低手要求低也是有的。
My name is XXX and my animal is the Gila Monster. I like this animal because it is venonmous and lizard-like. I also like monsters and a Gila monster is a monster that is rarely fatal.It can be banded or reticulated. Both types have bands around their tail. The reticulated Gila monster has more broken bands on his body than the banded one. It has a thick body, four stubby legs, 5 toes with sharp claws used for digging and a black face. It can be silver, blue, orange, hot pink, pink and yellow. It is very scaly. The Gila monster cannot run very fast. It has a forked black tongue. The Gila monster has a blue mouth. Its tail grows fater (sic) the more it eats. That is because when the Gila monster is eating, more fat goes into its tail. It can survive without food for months or even years.The Gila monster lives in the southwestern united states and northern mexico. It inhabits scrubland, succulent desert and oak woodland. The Gila monster does not eat a lot. In fact, the Gila only eats 5-7 times a year. When they do, they eat as much as 1/3 there body weight. It eats eggs, nestlings, small birds, mammals, frogs, lizards and carrion. Eggs are its favorite food.
