Seventeen ways to open up writing ideas

1. Prototype heuristics.

From the psychological point of view, the formation of students' imagination and creativity often depends on "prototype inspiration". Inspired by model essays and excellent works, it is not only easy to open up ideas, but also conducive to cultivating innovative spirit. For example, after teaching articles such as "Litchi Honey" and "Praise of Poplar", in order to combine reading and writing, we can think: according to our own life experience, we can recall what we are familiar with, such as bees and poplars, and we can use their characteristics to compare people's noble character.

2. Memory method.

From the perspective of information theory, composition should go through the process of absorbing information, storing information, extracting information, recording information, sorting out information, and finally sorting out articles. The key to composition is how to open the information storage of the mind, so that it can face the topic with materials to write, things to talk about, feelings to express, write leisurely and write an article. For example, topics such as "childhood memories" and "new things in my hometown" can be remembered as much as possible. Put a movie in my mind to recall not only the people and things related to the topic, but also the related poems and songs and their writing methods. Then choose one or two typical examples that are most impressive and appropriate.

This method can also open the thinking block. In the composition class, after the teacher reveals the proposition, under normal circumstances, students' thinking activities will begin, and they will search the information related to the proposition in the brain memory bank. After searching and recalling, relevant information will follow, and with the in-depth development of ideas, it will be vague and gradually clear. However, if students lack psychological preparation and feel nervous and anxious on the spot, their thinking and memory functions will fail and their thinking will be suppressed. If this kind of mood is not adjusted and overcome in time, it will affect the writing speed and even be in vain.

In this case, you should change your thinking angle immediately and don't stare at the proposition. Let go of the shackles of proposition first. Try to recall relaxed and happy scenes. This situation has something to do with composition, but it is not considered from the scope of the theme. For example, if you imagine "If I were a rich man ……", you can temporarily forget the related theme of "restraining the strong and helping the weak, punishing the evil and promoting the good" and go back to watch the relaxed and happy plots in the rich man's TV series. For example, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the son of Qin got a big belly because of his evil deeds; In "Smart Tumor", the boss Qian got a big sarcoma because he was greedy for money, and so on. Anyway, I just recall the scenes that I find interesting, and my mind will relax. It can make people concentrate, think positively and think actively; When happy scenes come to mind, information related to the theme will jump out of memory one by one. When the door of memory is opened, collecting information according to the requirements of related topics will get a smooth thinking effect.

3. Love association method.

Association is a psychological process from one thing to another, and it is an ideological leap caused by feelings in life. When you see a pine tree, you can associate it with the noble qualities of revolutionaries; Seeing bees busy collecting honey can be associated with tens of millions.

Thousands of ordinary workers-workers, farmers and so on. Appropriate association can not only enrich the content of the article, but also help to express beautiful feelings, create the artistic conception of poetry, deepen the theme of the article and arouse readers' feelings.

When conceiving a composition, sometimes there will be such a situation, that is, after reviewing the topic, one piece of information related to the theme will be quickly recalled in my mind, but I can't think of the second and third articles any more ... because its image is too vivid and strong, occupying the whole memory door, forcing students to extend their thinking according to it. However, if the article only relies on this information material, the content seems really simple. At this time, for an obtained information material, it is a multi-angle material contact method without proposition requirements. Relevant information can be related, for example, reservoir can be related to hydropower station, man's thought can be related to his personality, car can be related to airplane, and Xue Rui can be related to bumper harvest. We can think of the cause and effect of this message, such as the message "Someone dived to save the drowning teenager", and we can think of his motivation to save people. How did he react in society after saving people? We can think from the opposite side of information, such as "bright" and "dark" thinking, "honest" and "corrupt" thinking, and so on, which provide a broad world for the operation of thinking, and can extend the thinking in all directions, greatly speed up its conception and improve the quality of composition.

4. Reverse thinking method.

The so-called reverse thinking is to overcome the mindset and think in the opposite direction of the problem, thus revealing new ideas and shaping new images. For example, when writing morning glory, most people praise it for its courage to climb and make progress, and blow the horn for the "four modernizations"; Reverse thinking satirizes it as a wimp who can't stand on his own feet. Another example is writing lotus flowers, which has always been praised by scholars as "getting out of the mud without being stained"; Reverse thinking can also praise the thick "sludge" that nourishes the lotus.

5. Multi-angle demonstration method.

The method of observing and demonstrating from different angles is called multi-angle argumentation. If students are asked to write down their thoughts after learning fables, they can put forward an opinion from three different angles: Mr. Nan Guo, Qi Xuanwang and Wang Qi. From Mr. Nan Guo's point of view, we can understand as follows: ① You can't be Mr. Nan Guo; (2) Mr. Nan is no longer accused; Mr. Nanguo's slip away is a sign of self-knowledge. From Qi Xuanwang's point of view, we can understand: ① the enlightenment of Qi Xuanwang's Listening and Blowing; (2) Who let Mr. Nan Guo join the court band? 3 Qi Xuanwang, who is fatuous and enjoyable; (4) Advise Mo Xueqi to declare the king. From Qi's point of view, we can realize that; Why did Mr. Nanguo run away? ② Where is Zhuo Gaoming, the King of Qi? (3) from the king of qi, I thought of it. This not only broadens students' thinking, but also exercises their flexibility and creativity.

6. Discuss communication methods.

In order to overcome the phenomenon of the same content of exercises, you can write articles with novel ideas and distinctive personality characteristics. After the proposition, we can discuss their respective plans for selecting materials, conceiving and arranging articles, so as to achieve the effect of mutual exchange and learning from each other's strengths.

The purpose of complementing each other. 7. Time and space development method.

The so-called time-space development method is to think about the changes of people or things in different time and space according to the characteristics of the topic, so as to review the past, examine the present and look forward to the future. For example, if you write "planting trees in barren hills", you can think about what this place was like before, how long the trees were, whether there were birds and animals, and whether there were many people in the past; Think about what units there are now, who comes here to participate in tree planting, what trees to plant, the scene of labor, enthusiasm and enthusiasm; Think about what it will be like in the future, whether there will be trees, flowers, fruits, birds and animals playing in the forest, and whether there will be people playing in the forest. Think about the past and the present, and think about the future.

8. Rethink this proposition.

Sometimes after reviewing the questions, a lot of materials related to the theme will pop up in my mind. However, the composition has a word limit and cannot be written into the article. It would be a pity to lose any material. After thinking about it, I have nothing to lose, and I don't know which one to lose. It seems to be related to the theme, but I can't think of a clear clue, and my mind is in a mess. The idea is to walk around in these materials and it is difficult to go deep.

At this time, you should immediately jump out of the bondage of material, kill "make a comeback" and re-examine the proposition.

As I said before, most quick compositions are written in order, and there is always a basic theme requirement. However, when examining the topic for the first time, the rational thinking was not profound, and I only had a superficial understanding of the theme. When you recall some materials and then examine the proposition on the basis of thinking in images, you not only deepen your understanding of the proposition, but also make a qualitative leap in your understanding of the theme. After such repetition, your understanding and memory level of materials will inevitably improve, and you will focus on the materials that can best express the theme, while letting other materials "fade".

Creationists have specially studied this way of thinking. They start with identifying the goal of the proposition, recall the images related to the theme and write them down (we can express them quickly with various symbols). Perhaps in the process of writing them down, images and ideas related to the theme come to mind again, and then return to the proposition goal for consideration. This repetition will produce new ideas. The more repetitions, the better the effect.

Of course, quick composition is limited by time, and it is difficult to repeat it many times. But when it is trapped by many materials, we can change the dilemma of blocked thinking, get rid of the fetters and make progress by retreating.

9. Consider the end of the article first.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning", which happens when you conceive an article. In the process of sorting out the clues of the article, it is sometimes stranded because of the "beginning". Time is limited, and you are not allowed to spend a lot of time thinking about the beginning. Since we can't think of a good "beginning", we should change the habitual way of thinking step by step. Let your mind jump out of the "head" and jump to the "end" of the article at once.

10. Triangle thinking method.

"Triangle thinking" method-from three angles, or choose three typical cases, or arrange three plots (contrast), or set three theoretical points. , effectively express or clarify a central idea.

This method is very suitable for students to learn to write all kinds of "thousands of words" and write all kinds of exam-oriented compositions.

(1) lateral concentration type. Use three interrelated and parallel typical examples or truths to express or clarify a central idea. Like the topic of "lovely pasture", it is best to find out three lovely points, such as lovely scenery, lovely herdsmen and lovely shepherds, and then describe them in turn. In this way, the meaning of "cute" is rich; Moreover, all aspects of the content and form of the full text may cooperate with each other and achieve harmony and unity in diversification.

If you write "having a healthy mind", you can also discuss it from three angles: (1) Mental health can be fully developed; (2) mental health, in order to do a good job of unity; (3) Mental health can adapt to the situation. If so, the three sub-arguments can become an integral part of the general argument of obedience and interpretation in both ideological content and language form; The whole text can form a pluralistic and harmonious unity.

(2) Vertical depth type. Reveal a theme with three organically related events, plots or truths. The three punches in "Lu Ti Zhi Chong Zhen Guan Xi" are more powerful than each punch, which vividly shows Lu Da's brave spirit of getting rid of violence and being calm.

The essay topic "Remember a Debate" can also be organized into three parts: before, during and after the meeting. Moreover, "Hui" can be divided into three levels in imitating "ventriloquism", which makes it a kind of structural beauty of "three in three".

Similarly, writing an article about the requirements of writing can be discussed from three points: "right, good and fast", and the article "robot" is explained according to its three stages of development-automatic Woodenhead, industrial robot and intelligent robot, so that people can see its development process at a glance. If you write how to read, you can explain it in three steps: explaining its words, knowing its meaning and knowing its method (writing).

(3) Contrast prominent type. That is, through the comparison of three kinds of contrast to highlight the theme. If you write a narrative of "On the Road to Getting Rich", the requirement is to write about two businessmen, one wins because of sincerity, and the other loses because of treachery, you can make such a comparison: (1) The goods you handle are different, one is genuine, and the other is selling fake and shoddy "(2) The attitude towards customers is different, and what you say is bitter; (3) Different attitudes towards the law. One is to pay taxes according to law, and the other is to evade taxes illegally. In this way, the beauty and ugliness of two people can be revealed, and the article can play the role of persuading good and punishing evil.

If you want to write an argumentative essay, you can compare it like this: (1) The purpose of learning is different, one is to learn skills, and the other is to mix diplomas; (2) Different learning attitudes, one serious and the other careless; (3) The time spent is different, with one more and one less. If so, isn't it clear which is better and which is worse? It is more effective to write an argumentative essay with some emotions.

Of course, objective things are complex and diverse, and the thinking that reflects objective things cannot be unified. What things or problems should be considered from three angles, and what things or problems should be considered from less than or more than three angles, and analyzed in detail.

In addition, it can be clearly seen from the above that there are essential differences between the "triangle thinking" method and the "three-stage" method. In writing, we should not mistake "three-step" for "triangle thinking".

1 1. Cross thinking method.

For example, if we want to go to a city, there is only one straight line in vertical thinking.

A road, or a winding path leading to a secluded place, shows not only a road, but also things related to the road-vehicles, pedestrians, traffic police, weather, time, people and scenery that change at any time, and a series of humanistic landscapes that combine regional scenery, times, customs and even politics, economy, history, folk customs and culture, and the author's vision, hearing, smell and culture appear. In this way, we can "wander all over the world and think deeply about the audio-visual area; The spirit of painting, not only with things; It is attached to the sound and lingers at will (Wen Xin Diao Long Xun pian).

12. Picture thinking.

When writing a narrative, it is often a dry narrative, which only shows a process of development, so it lacks touching power. This is because language thinking will not become picture thinking. Only by focusing on explaining the ins and outs of things, instead of recreating the original vivid picture of life and re-experiencing the colorful perceptual world, and only by fully displaying the picture in the author's image, can the article produce fiery and vivid artistic charm and reproduce and sublimate the colorful life.

13. Thinking method of abandoning similarities and seeking differences.

Although composition and creation are different, their measurement standards are basically the same. A good article should be "unique", that is, the so-called "words that people have never said, words that people have never sent". That kind of one-sided and stereotyped article is a taboo for writing. Therefore, every time we write an article, we should use such a "16-character formula"-people have no me, people have me, people are new, people are new, and people are amazing. Writing should have the "uniqueness" of the author, and "uniqueness" is also the embodiment of personality. For example, a short story called Gift. The content is: there are a pair of young lovers, both of whom love learning very much and study very well. The unit recommends young women to study abroad. On the eve of going abroad, the hero gave us treasury bills as a gift. Although treasury bills are useless abroad, they can keep my girlfriend worried about the motherland and send her to study abroad at public expense when she is in debt. This treasury bill not only shows the hero's sincerity and love, but also shows the hero's love for the motherland, the people and socialism. Based on this, this work can also be called "unique conception". Of course, we require the idea to be unique, but we also require it to be positive, meaningful and reasonable.

14. "In place" thinking method.

It is to grasp a little, get deeper and deeper, and go deep into the maximization of your own strength. For example, when writing an argumentative essay, it is important to convince people by reasoning, avoid random labeling, and resolutely abandon the randomness of affirmation or negation.

15. Brainstorming thinking, or "whirlwind thinking", or "thinking by analogy".

When writing, first write out all the materials and methods you can think of about the topic, then sort, queue and choose the best, first take "a lot" and then seek "high quality". This is the so-called "divergent thinking" and "closed thinking", just like Hua's optimization method, striving for Excellence. You can also do it in another place.

People's ideas give birth to their own new ideas, and they can also permeate fresh content and profound meaning in seemingly ordinary plots.

16. Add and subtract deformation thinking methods.

This method is very effective for literacy trainers. The method is to select wonderful paragraphs, compress them first and then expand them, and finally appreciate the author's writing skills against the original text.

Compression, expansion, expansion and recompression, such addition and subtraction operations, can cultivate students' rigorous thinking ability and master the simple and complex changing laws.

17. permutation and combination thinking.

Using comprehensive ability to rearrange and combine the different components in the problem and break the original combination order, just like the arrangement and combination in mathematics, we can also innovate by trying several combinations. Try to practice permutation and combination for five minutes every day, try to find the similarities and differences between two or more unrelated things, find a useful or interesting combination framework, and find subtle differences in comparison, so as to enhance the ability of accurate judgment and gradually form a dialectical materialist world outlook and methodology.
