白珊·安妮高中周讯（20）

 

 

Dear Baishan AWS Parents and Students,

 

We hope that you all received the Student Learning Summaries, and that you have had some time to review this document with your son or daughter. We are also hoping that all of you were able to schedule a time to meet the teaching staff next Friday. 

 

We are happy to announce that Baishan AWS now is authorized to offer Advanced Placement courses for the 2020-2021 school year. AP classes are globally recognized as one of the highest international standards of high school courses that can be completed. AP classes are very favorably looked upon from universities, and often qualify for college credit. Qualified Baishan AWS students will now have the opportunity to challenge themselves in the years ahead. We will provide an overview of AP options for our students during our schedule planning and college counseling this month.

 

Have a Good Weekend,

 

Robert Hinman

 

Director

US History and World Geography with Ms. Brauer

 

Our 9th grade world geographers have each been assigned a country, and they've used a detailed spreadsheet of United Nations data to assess their country's development using various quality of life indicators. Then they had to choose which three indicators they'd consider the most important if they were the ones creating a single Human Development Index to rank development worldwide. 

 

本周在九年级的世界地理课上，每个学生都被分配到一个国家，他们利用一份联合国数据的详细电子表格，分析各种生活质量指标来评估他们国家的发展。然后假设他们来创建人类发展指数对全球发展进行排名，他们必须选择出最重要的三个指标。

 

The 10th grade looked back to the Civil War to revisit the key points of their online learning time and to prepare for the first of their two semester exams, on the Civil War and Reconstruction. After that, we looked at the riots and the protests against structural racism currently happening across the United States and talked about their historical roots. 

 

本周在十年级的美国历史课上，我们回顾了内战，重新审视了之前在线学习的要点，并准备了本学期两次重要考试的第一次考试，关于内战和战后重建。之后，我们回顾了目前在美国各地发生的针对种族主义的骚乱和抗议活动，并谈到了它们的历史根源。

Math and Science with Mr. Mackeigan

 

In our ninth-grade geometry class, we finished our study of circles, looking at angle measures and segment lengths, and equations of circles in the coordinate plane. 

 

本周在九年级的几何课上，我们完成了对圆的研究，研究了角度测量和线段长度，以及平面坐标上圆的方程。

 

In our tenth-grade integrated science class, we looked energy in plants, studying photosynthesis and cellular respiration, as well as plant responses to stimuli. Additionally, we continued our research for our unit assessment, a presentation on a bacterial disease. 

 

本周在十年级的综合科学课上，我们研究了植物的能量，光合作用和细胞呼吸，以及植物对刺激的反应。此外，学生们继续对单元评估进行了研究，一个关于细菌性疾病的陈述报告。

English with Ms. Roth

 

In English 9, we've started practicing writing poems using figurative language like simile, metaphor, personification, and hyperbole. Students will perform final poems on Monday, June 22nd. The supplemental English class for the "9.5" students has been using the story of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" to study the character arc of the hero. Next week, they'll have a chance to write their own narrative short story about a hero. In English 10, our novel study continues. We're more than half way through Pay It Forward, and the dramatic irony is starting to create suspense!

 

本周在九年级的英语课上，我们开始练习用修辞性语言写诗，比如明喻、暗喻、拟人化和夸张的修辞手法。6月22日，星期一，学生们将进行诗歌表演。“9.5”年级学生的英语强化课程一直在学习Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief这个故事，并研究英雄的性格弧线。下周，他们将有机会写一个关于英雄的故事。在十年级的英语课上，学生们继续研究小说Pay It Forward,，已经学习了超过一半的进度，小说戏剧性的讽刺开始制造悬念！

Math with Mrs. Hinman

 

Students in Algebra II finished learning how to graph trig functions this week. Next week they will finish unit 8 by creating a function to model ocean waves and investigating how this energy could be harnessed as a power source. 

 

在代数II的课上，本周学生们完成了如何绘制三角函数方程。下周，学生们将完成第8单元的学习，并创建一个模拟海浪的函数，研究如何将这种能量作为能源加以利用。

 

Art with Mr. Brandt

 

The Baishan AWS Art students have continued to make major progress on finishing lessons and completing their Environmental Art work.  The students will begin a new unit related to lens-based and photography work.  Students will be challenged to apply previously taught compositional strategies to existing photographs, then create their own professional-looking photographs.

 

本周在视觉艺术课上，白珊·安妮高中的学生在完成课程和环境艺术作品创作上继续取得很大进步。下周学生们将开始一个与镜头和摄影相关的新单元。学生们将被要求将之前学习的构图策略应用到现有的照片上，然后创建他们自己的专业照片。
