爱莎「读书月」

Books are like old friends with deep emotions, bringing us comfort in both joy and sorrow. Reading good books not only nourishes our inner peace but also enriches our souls. This April, we hold a Reading Month event in ISA Wuhan Library with the theme of "Starting from the Heart, Enjoying Reading". 

书卷多情似故人，晨昏忧乐每相亲。品读佳作，是内心的温润泰然，更是灵魂的丰盈饱满。四月，武汉爱莎图书馆举办了主题为“从心开始，乐享阅读“的读书月活动。 

The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) defines libraries as “combinations of people, places, collections, and services that aid and extend learning and teaching.” 

国际文凭组织（IBO）将图书馆定义为 “图书馆涵盖了人，空间，藏书以及服务，这些资源共同协力帮助和提供学习和教学。” 

In alignment with this definition, the ISA Wuhan Library strives to create a versatile, inviting learner-orientated learning and communication hub with rich and deep collections where a culture of integration, information literacy, and passion for reading is fostered, by providing our students, teachers, and members of the community with the space, resources along with quality academic support as well as thoughtful service needed to extend learning and inspire exploration. 

根据这一定义，武汉爱莎致力于把校园图书馆打造成为高度融合、功能强大，深刻而温馨的理想的学习、交流中心。一切以学习者为核心，培养社区成员的信息素养和阅读热情，为每一位社区成员提供扩展学习和激发探索所需的空间、资源以及高质量的学术支持和优质贴心的服务。 

Reading a good book is like lighting a lamp in our hearts. Let's look back at the wonderful moments of the "Reading Month" event together. 

精读一本好书，点亮一盏心灯，让我们一起来回顾一下“读书月”活动的精彩瞬间吧。

Wenhua PYP students introduced World Book Day in the form of a dialogue, which led to the question "Why do we need to read?" The children also expressed their views: "Because we need knowledge." "I want to be happy." "Reading makes us know a lot of things we don't know yet. ......" The discussion among the students was wonderful. Although there is no single standard answer, everyone has found the meaning of reading. 

文华PYP的学生们以对话的形式介绍了世界读书日，从而引发“我们为什么要读书？”的思考，学生们也表达了自己的观点：“因为我们需要知识。”“我想获得幸福。”“读书让我们知道了自己还不知道的事情还有很多……”同学们的讨论精彩纷呈。虽然没有唯一标准的答案，但是大家纷纷找到了读书的意义。 

In addition, Wenhua PYP students were also exposed to several different forms of poetry in the ‘Reading Month’ activities.  For example English poetry - wandering lines, modern Chinese poetry, and Ancient Chinese poetry. As students delved deeper into reading, the children generated more and more reflections. How did poetry come to be? How are wandering lines similar to and different from our modern Chinese poetry? 

此外，文华PYP的学生们还在读书月活动中接触了几种不同诗歌形式，如：英文诗—徘句，中文现代诗、中国古代诗歌等。“诗歌是怎么来的呢？我们学习了俳句，它和我们的中国的现代诗又有什么相同和不同呢？现代诗这种文体会随着时代而消亡吗？我们能为古诗的传承做些什么呢？……” 

Will the modern poetry genre die out with the times? What can we do to pass on ancient poetry? Perhaps children are on their way to finding answers, but these curiosities about the world keep encouraging them to explore. 

随着阅读的深入，学生产生了越来越多的学习思考，也许他们正在寻找答案的路上，但是这些对世界的好奇却一直鼓励着他们探究和钻研。

In this Reading Month, the students in the secondary school have risen to the challenge of reading as many pages as possible each day to support the school’s aim of ‘traveling around the world’ in 28 days. Each student also prepared a presentation to tell others about the book they have been reading. The teachers were impressed with the range of books the student have chosen.  

在这个读书月，外籍中学部的学生们在努力挑战每天尽可能多地阅读，以完成“在28天内环游世界”的目标。每个学生还准备了个人演讲，介绍他们正在阅读的书，所选择的书籍范围令老师们感到印象深刻。

We have also incorporated House competition activities into Reading Month. Students have completed ‘Guess the book from the emoji’, and they have deciphered the book title from the picture of things associated with the book. Each Grade has also created a literary-themed windowpane in their classroom. This week, there will be a comic strip writing competition.

外籍中学部还将院舍比赛活动纳入了阅读月。学生们完成了“从表情符号猜书名”的任务，他们从与书相关的图片中完成了书名解密。每个年级的学生们还在各自的教室里创造了不同文学主题的窗户装饰。此外，学生们还举办了漫画故事写作比赛。

The reading month culminated with a costume parade, where students dressed as characters from their favourite books. The students dressed up as their favorite characters from books and bring a wonderful performance to the audience.

随着“角色时装秀”活动的到来，外籍中学部的阅读活动迎来了高潮，学生们纷纷模仿他们书中最喜欢的角色进行了换装表演，为观众们带来了一场精彩绝伦的视觉盛宴。

The theme of Wenhua MYP Reading Month is "Discovering History and Society From Literature". The reading method adopted in this reading activity is based on the comparative reading of Chinese and foreign novels with intertextuality. The students in each class were divided into two groups. One group chose modern and contemporary novels that reflected the context of China's social history, and the other group chose foreign-translated literary works that reflected Western social life. 

文华MYP读书月的主题是“从文学中发现历史与社会”，此次阅读活动采用的读书方法是基于互文性的中外小说比较阅读。各班级同学共分为两个组，一组同学选择了反应中国社会历史语境的现当代小说，另一组同学选择了反应西方社会生活的外国翻译文学作品。 

During the reading process, the two groups of students need to independently complete the PPT production and post-reading feedback writing and request oral sharing in the classroom or library. During the sharing process, the two groups of classmates can also ask questions, criticize each other and express different opinions. 

在阅读的过程中，两组同学们需要各自独立完成PPT制作和读后感撰写，并要求在课堂或图书馆进行口头分享。在分享的过程中，两组同学之间还可以互相提问、批评并发表不同意见。

After sharing, the teacher will lead students to review and reflect on the process of reading and thinking. Through this comparative literature reading activity, the students became familiar with the intertextuality literary inquiry ideas emphasized in the IB course.  

分享结束后，老师会带领同学对阅读和思考的过程进行复盘和反思。通过这次比较文学阅读活动，同学们熟悉了IB课程所强调的互文性的文学探究思路。 

It also trained their critical thinking and oral expression skills. More importantly, these literary works contain the cultural transformation of Eastern and Western societies from tradition to modernity, and then to postmodernism. Therefore, in the sharing and resonance of students' views full of "polyphony" and "multi-voice", their global perspective and reflective ability towards individuals, identities, and communities have also been further improved. 

同时这一过程也训练了同学们的批判性思维和口头表达能力。更重要的是，这些文学作品背后蕴涵了东西方社会从传统到现代再到后现代社会的文化转型，因此在同学们充满“复调”和“多声部”的观点分享和共鸣中，他们的全球性视野和对个体、身份与社区的反思能力也得到了进一步提高。
