读后续写ANoteoftheNicestThingsA Note of the Nicest ThingsHe was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Marys school. All of my students were dear to me, except Mark Eklund. He often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable. One morning my patience was growing thin, and then I made a new teachers mistake. I looked at him, saying, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!”It wasnt ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” Since I had stated the punishment, I had to act on it. I took a roll of tape out of my drawer. Without saying a word, I proceeded to Marks desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X over his mouth. When I walked back to Marks desk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” A Note of the Nicest Things One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students, leaving a space between each name. Then I told them to write down the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates. As they left, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday I gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. “Really?” I heard the whispers. “I never knew that meant anything to anyone!” “I didnt know others liked me so much!” Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.” Years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport. My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important. “The Eklunds called last night,” he began. “Really?” I said. “I havent heard from them in years. I wonder how Mark is.” Dad responded quietly. “Mark was killed in Vietnam,” he said. “The funeral is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.”I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before, so handsome, so mature.Readingforstructure01Readingforinformation02Cluestowriting03Continuationwriting04CONTENT1ReadingforstructurePART ONEA Note of the Nicest Thingsfalling actionclimaxrising actionintroduction (setting)conclusion(evaluation) plot plot Markwasatrouble-makerinmyclass.(Para.1)Markthankedmeformypunishmentandteaching.(Para.2-5)Yearslater,IgotthenewsaboutMarksdeathandattendedthefuneral.(Para.6-7)2ReadingforinformationPART TWOMy general impression about MarkAll of my students were dear to me, except Mark Eklund.I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.He often talked constantly.Conclusion: Mark was a trouble-maker in my class.Mark was my headache.A Note of the Nicest ThingsMark got punished.When did it happen?One morning my patience was growing thin, and then I made a new teachers mistake.What did Mark do?I looked at him, saying, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!” It wasnt ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.”What did I do?Since I had stated the punishment, I had to act on it.
