G6-9 Humanities: Beginnings, Values, Myths, and Stories

六至九年级人文:起源、价值观、神话及故事

Room 32/ 32号教室

Where do our beliefs and our values come from? What are the stories that people have told and retold that have shaped who we are today? In this project, we learned about key texts and stories from around the world that have influenced people and societies to this day, including the Bible, the Qur’an, Confucian sayings, and Greek mythology. Students engaged in a debate about some of the ideas explored, wrote and edit their own stories, and produced a dramatic piece or vlog connected to the themes of the project.

You will see examples of their creative journals from the Odyssey and from Xi’an as well as a journal booklet about areas students studied in history class.  8th-9th grade students made a vlog about all the places they talked about in their journal booklet and 6-7th grade students wrote and created three scenes dramatized from myths that will be performed in the auditorium. Various writings from 6-9 will be also displayed including expository writing about the Odyssey and other nonliterary work about the field trip to Xi’an. Student work will be shared in Room 32.

我们的信仰和价值观从何而来?人们讲述和复述的哪些故事塑造了我们今天的身份?在这个项目中,我们了解了当今世界上那些对人和社会造成影响的关键文章和故事,包括圣经、古兰经、儒家谚语和希腊神话。学生们就所探索的一些想法进行辩论、编写以及编辑自己的故事,并制作了与项目主题相关的戏剧作品或视频博客。

您将看到他们在《奥德赛》和西安上创作的期刊的样例,以及一本学生们在历史课上所学知识的期刊。八年级至九年级的学生就他们在期刊里谈论到的一些地方创作了视频在他们的期刊;六年级至七年级的学生创作了三个神话化的场景并将在礼堂进行演出。还将展示6-9年级之间的各种作品,包括有关奥德赛的说明性文章以及有关西安实地考察的其他非文学类的作品。学生作品将在32号教室展示。
