CHINESE  

China has a long history with deep cultural roots that remain fresh and relevant to this day. This semester, we have examined Chinese traditional culture in the Chinese elective courses, with a view to experiencing the Chinese classics, and learning from literacy masters to develop our understanding of traditional culture. This will help our students to better appreciate their cultural heritage and so enrich their personalities.

中华文化源远流长，底蕴丰富，流转千年而历久弥新。本学期，中文选修课开展了中国传统文化探究式学习，以期品国学、敬圣贤、赏文韵、修智识，让爱莎天河学子在体悟中国传统文化的路上遇见更好的自己。

THEME 1主题一

 Chinese Story 中华故事 

From the beginning of our inquiry, we understood the basic elements of time, place, and characters in the story through reading and analysis of different stories. In the process of writing a short story in the later period of our study, we reviewed our understanding of the structure of the story. After the reading of stories from genres such as mythology and fairy tale, we made story mind maps and created interesting picture books.

前期我们通过对不同故事的阅读分析，理解故事里的时间、地点、人物等基本要素。后期在创作小故事的过程中，我们巩固对故事结构的理解。通过神话故事、童话故事等多类故事的阅读，制作有条理的思维导图，仿写有趣的绘本故事。

Ancient poetry recitation, picture book reading, and writing for fun were also included.

本学期我们体验式学习了二十四节气的习俗文化、气候、农耕、节气生活和游戏，开展了自然观察、传统手工体验、自主探究、自主创作和日常渗透等活动，我们还进行了相关的古诗朗诵、绘本阅读和趣味写作等语言学习。

THEME 3 主题三

Chinese Characters 汉字符号 

This semester we gained a preliminary understanding of the historical development of Chinese characters through the inquiry and study of the "Chinese Character Thinking" course. We learned more about the characteristics of pictographs and stimulated the enthusiasm of students for learning Chinese characters.

本学期我们通过“汉字思维”课程的探究学习，对中国文字的历史发展有了一个初步的认识，了解了象形字的特点与其趣味性，激发了对汉字文化的学习热情。

THEME 4 主题四

Chinese Poems 中华诗歌  

The focus of the inquiry this semester was to transcend the differences of time, space and culture, and share the poet's unique perception of the world through examples of the poet’s work and the study of the poet’s historical background. We set the poet's life as our starting point, and then extended this to a study of their poems so that students could appreciate the unique charm and context of the poetry.

本学期我们的探究中心思想是读者通过对诗人的个人表达以及其所处的时代背景的研究，可以超越时空、跨越文化的差异，分享诗人对这个世界的独特感知。我们以诗人的生平为切入点，继而延伸到诗歌类型的学习，使学生感受诗歌的魅力。
