From the Director  项目主任总结

This proved to be a busy week for many who were finishing unit assessments and making corrections to big assignments.   In many classes, students needed to demonstrate many of the lessons learned over several weeks by completing larger, more summative tests. 

本周对学生和老师来说，都是非常忙碌的一周。本周许多课程都完成了单元评估和作业修改提交。学生们需要通过完成更多、更具总结性的测试来展示他们这几个星期学到的知识。

We are at the point of the year when students are becoming more comfortable with their classes and teachers, and begin to relax a bit too much.  I am encouraging parents to help us keep the pressure on the students.  I am asking the parents to continue to challenge their child to explain the notes and assignments in their planners when they are signed over the weekends.  Ask them to explain the teacher codes and see if there is missing information.  And, as always, please leave a note in the planner if you have any concerns, or communicate with the advisors. 

现在学生们对所学的课程和老师已经越来越习惯和适应，因此开始有点松懈。希望家长们跟我们一起， 给学生一定的压力。希望家长们周末在周计划书上签字时， 询问并关注孩子在每节课上的表现和作业情况，让孩子解释一下老师的签字代码，看看有没有遗漏的信息。如有您有任何疑问，请在周计划表上留言，或及时与班主任沟通。

The students should also be encouraged to explain which teachers they are going to during our Get Wright Time at 16:05 each afternoon -- a time when students learn to reflect on their own progress and make responsible decisions with their time.  Teachers are more than happy to help them with a last-minute question or explanation of a difficult concept.

在每天下午16:05的Get-Wright时间里，学生们也被鼓励积极跟老师沟通 ——在这个时间段里，学生们要学会反思自己的学习进度，学会利用时间，对自己的学习负责。老师们非常乐意回答学生们提出的问题，给学生们解答他们的疑问。

Above all, please continue to show your enthusiasm for their learning.  The students will need to know that the teachers and parents are continually expecting higher achievements.

最重要的是，请您继续保持对孩子学习的关注和热情。学生们也需要知道，老师和家长都在不断期待你有更好的表现。

Epidemiology Lab "Pandemic"  流行病学实验室“大流行”

Our Red Tie 11th graders were fortunate to have an opportunity to take part in a science experiment organized by Mr. Mark Brierley from Qingdao Amerasia International School and supervised by Ms. Emilia Zheng.  These students joined many QAIS students and faculty, along with Ms. Claire Wen from Baishan School to become part of an epidemiology lab that mimiced how diseases spread with simple liquid in test tubes.  本周我们11年级红领带学生在郑老师的带领下，有幸参加了青岛美亚国际学校马克·布莱利先生组织的科学实验。学生们加入到美亚国际学校的老师和学生们中去，成为流行病学实验室的一员，该实验室模拟了用试管中的简单液体传播疾病的过程。

The students were challenged to deduce who "patient zero" was by determining who shared water with each other.  As it happens, our very own Baishan AWS student Red Tie Tony was the unlucky "patient zero" in this experiment.   学生们通过确定谁和别人共用水来推断谁是“零号病人”。碰巧，我们白珊·安妮高中的红领带学生Tony成为这个实验中不幸的“零号病人”。

Chemistry with Ms. Jiajia 化学

In this week, Grade 11 students learned how an element forms to an ion by losing or gaining electrons. They could distinguish the difference between a cation and an anion and deduce ionic compounds using metal and nonmetal elements. Students talked about both physical and chemical properties within a group and across a period. Metal elements on the left of the period (for example sodium and magnesium) form basic oxides. On the right-hand side of the period, the oxides of non-metals are acidic. The point of change in the period occurs around group 13 (for example, aluminum), which can act amphoteric ally. 

这个星期，11年级化学学习了原子如何通过得失电子而形成离子，阴阳离子如何不同，金属离子和非金属离子如何形成离子化合物。学生还讨论了同一周期元素的物理及化学性质趋势，同一族，物化性质又是怎样变化。他们总结出，金属氧化物具有碱性，非金属氧化物具有酸性，还有一部分元素表现出两性，既有碱性又有酸性。

Chinese Language with Ms. Zheng 中国文学

说到对后世影响深远的思想流派，除了儒家和道家，就是法家了。法家是中国历史上提倡以法制为核心思想的重要学派，以富国强兵为己任，成为中央集权制的主要统治手段。本周10年级学习了法家的思想观点，代表人物韩非子及其作品《五蠹》，并对中国古代历史、文化、哲学、社会制度等作了深入的了解和探讨。

Legalism is an important school in Chinese history who advocate the rule of law as the core ideology. It takes the responsibility of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and become the main ruling means of centralization. This week, G10 learned the legalist school's thought and viewpoint, the representative figure Han Feizi and his article FIve Bookworms, with a deep understanding and discussion on the ancient Chinese history, culture, philosophy, social system, etc.

11年级学生在研究学习汉语语法的道路上继续前行。本周开始学习现代汉语短语的类型及分类方法。通过对不同结构类型短语的分析，更好地理解词汇的性质和意义，也为接下来学习“句子”做了充分的准备。善于思考的学生们还提出了一些有趣的问题，例如“吃饭”“写字”“睡觉”“堵车”“遇难”，哪些是短语？哪些是句子？依据又是什么呢？

Grade 11 students are on the way to study Chinese grammar. This week, we began to learn the types and classification of modern Chinese phrases. Through the analysis of different structural types of phrases, we can better understand the nature and meaning of vocabulary, and make full preparation for the next learning of "sentence". The thoughtful students also put forward some interesting questions, such as "Chifan", "Xiezi", "Shuijiao", "Duche" and "Yunan". Which are the phrases? Which are sentences? What is the basis?

Chinese Studies with Mr. Zhan 中国文学

本周9年级学生学习了《儒林外史》中的精彩片段“范进中举”。学生们通过查资料，对科举制的产生、发展至僵化有进一步的了解，分享了对科举制度的看法。通过研读，体会到“讽刺”手法的魅力和力度。在学以致用的实战环节，学生可运用“讽刺”手法写一则故事，亦可从科举考试谈到当今学生如何对待考试。在点评环节，学生充分互动，思维活跃，频出“金句”。在充分听取同学和老师的建议的基础上，每个人再进行修改升格，以完成“以读促写”的训练。

This week, G9 students learned the wonderful episode of "Fan Jin Zhongju" from the Scholars. The students had a better understanding of the emergence and development of the imperial examination system and shared their views on the system. Through the study, we can realize the charm and strength of satire. In the practical link, students can use "Satire" to write a story, or talk about how students treat the examination from the imperial examination. In the review section, students fully interact with each other, thinking actively, and frequent "golden sentences". Based on fully listening to the suggestions of the students and teachers, everyone revised and upgraded to complete the training of "promoting writing by reading".

University Guidance with Ms. Du 美国大学升学指导课

This week, we switched the topic from How to Choose Major to How to Choose a college/university. Firstly, I introduced several college ranking systems and analyzed their authority. When they were asked to mention one thing, they'd like to find out more about College/University, their answers were various and interesting, including dorms, gyms, part-time opportunities, tuitions, etc. At that point, I handed out the College Match Terms worksheet, in which M stands for Major, A means Academics, T is for Territory, C represents Cost, and H stands for Help. Among the specific terms provided, students could find most of the items that they cared about college and then added more that were not on the list. When students' interest was aroused, I "invited" them to have a visual campus tour on the Internet. They visited the Book Store, Student Service Center, the Athletic Center, etc. It was a wonderful experience. And after that, many already couldn't wait to visit real American universities!

本周，我们将话题从如何选择专业转到如何选择学院/大学。首先，我给学生们介绍了几种高校排名体系，并分析了它们的权威性。当他们被要求提到一件他们想了解更多关于学院/大学的事情时，他们的回答是多样而且有趣，包括宿舍、健身房、兼职机会、学费等等。我分发了大学匹配术语的任务表，其中M代表专业，A代表学术，T代表领土，C代表花费，H代表帮助。在所提供的具体术语中，学生可以找到他们关心的大部分内容，然后可以添加更多不在列表中的项目。当学生们的兴趣被激起时，我“邀请”他们在网上进行一次虚拟校园之旅。他们参观了书店、学生服务中心、体育中心等，这是一次非常美妙的经历。在那之后，许多人已经迫不及待地想参观真正的美国大学！
