From the Director  项目主任总结

This edition of the Weekly Update in Sway is particularly impressive. As you'll read below, teachers are continuing to deliver engaging lessons and showing no signs of slowing down. Math students are learning how equations can, or can not, be applied to real-world situations.  After weeks of practical lessons and labs, the science students begin a new unit by going back to the textbook for lessons on molecular biology. It was review week for the History students as they prepare for their Unit assessment. Good luck to them!   在本期周讯中，您可以看到我们的教师们正继续引导学生深入课程，并且循序渐进，逐步深入。数学课上学生们正在学习如何将方程式应用于现实世界。经过几周的实践课和实验课，科学课上学生们开始回归课本，学习新的单元——分子生物学。历史课上学生们正在为单元评估认真复习，祝学生们取得好成绩！ Do not miss Ms. Gan's link to the students playing the new ukeleles.  The students have developed quickly as they prepare for the show in January. 请一定观看本期周讯中音乐老师 Ms. Gan 上传的学生演奏四弦小吉他的视频，学生们正在为一月份的演出积极排练。

Blue Tie English students begin a new book, while the Green Ties, similar to the history students, prepare for a unit summative assessment. Good luck to them as well.  英语课上，蓝带学生开始学习一本新书，绿带学生正在准备单元总结性评估，祝他们取得好成绩！

IB Mathematics AI SL with Ms. Guedes   IB数学

This week the IB Math students continued studying analytical geometry. They learned how to graph and calculate the equation of the perpendicular bisector of a line segment. They needed it to create Voronoi diagrams modeling real-life issues, such as resource, business, and public service buildings location.  本周在IB数学课上，我们继续学习了解析几何。学生们学习了如何绘制和计算线段的垂直平分线方程。学生们需要创建Voronoi图形来模拟现实问题，如资源、商务和公共服务建筑的位置。

The students made connections between graphs and modeling of real-world issues. 学生们将图形与现实问题的建模联系起来。

Geometry and Algebra II with Ms. Guedes    几何和代数II

This week the Geometry students completed the unit on Parallel and Perpendicular Lines. As a special treat they explored parallel and perpendicular lines in non-Euclidean geometry, and discussed how we define parallel and perpendicular. In non-Euclidean geometry many of the theorems we learn do not apply. In the next unit we will continue to Congruent Triangles.

本周在几何课上，学生们完成了平行线和垂直线单元的学习。在此基础上，学生们还探索了非欧几里德几何中的平行线和垂直线，并讨论了我们如何定义平行线和垂直线。我们学到的许多定理在非欧几里德几何图形中并不适用。在下一单元中，我们将继续讨论全等三角形。

The Algebra 2 students worked on many real-world problems using systems of linear equations. They learned different methods of solving with and without graphing technology. There will be an unit assessment next week.  

在代数2课上，学生们使用线性方程组解决了许多实际问题。学生们学习了使用和不使用图形来解决问题的不同方法。下周我们将进行单元评估。

AP Art with Mr. Brandt AP艺术

This week in AP Art, Green Tie Katherine conducted material studies with cloth and a small mannequin. She will graduate to a larger mannequin later as she studies the textures, color combinations, and her skills at sewing. As a reminder from last week, her fashion design portfolio is inspired by sea coral.

本周在AP艺术课上，绿带Katherine用布料和微型人体模型进行了材料研究。接下来，她将在更大的人体模型上进行创作，研究布料、颜色组合和缝纫技巧。作为上期周讯的补充，Katherine的时装设计创作灵感来自海珊瑚。

Red Tie Max continues to develop a series of artworks that document his time during Covid self-isolation.  红带 Max继续进行系列艺术品的创作，记录他在新冠自我隔离期间的经历。

Biology with Mr. Silva 生物

We started Quarter 2 in our school year with high expectations and setting up academic goals. Molecular Biology requires a lot of time and reading to deep understand the roles of the chemical substances involved in life processes. We went back to the "old and good" textbook Biology for the IB Diploma to build up our concentration and note taking skills.  本周同学们带着高期望和高目标进入第二阶段生物学的学习中。分子生物学需要学生进行大量的阅读来深入理解生命过程中化学物质的作用。本周我们回归IB生物学教材，以培养学生们的专注力和记笔记的能力。

This week in American History we reviewed for the Unit test next week.  We have covered pre-colonial America through the American Revolution, 6 chapters.  The test next week will include definitions, multiple choice, short answer and an essay question.  The students were studying hard this week.  On Monday we will discuss various possible short answers and essay questions as a class and in groups before playing a review game to practice the definitions.  The unit test will be next Wednesday, November, 24th. 本周在美国历史课上，学生们有针对性地复习了下周将要进行的单元测试。本单元内容涵盖了从前殖民地时期的美国到美国独立革命，共6章。下周的单元考试将包括定义、多项选择、简答题和一道文章论述题。学生们本周都非常努力地进行复习。下周一我们将讨论各种可能出现的简答题和文章论述题，然后分小组，通过游戏等方式来帮助学生复习这些定义。下周三11月24日我们将进行单元测试。

This week in Social and Cultural Anthropology we continued to investigate international supply chains through an anthropological lens.  The students have been writing essays on a research question they created within the area of inquiry, "production, exchange, and consumption."  The students have been reading each other's essays to peer edit and identify key concepts to expand their thinking on the issue.  The final draft is due next Monday, I look forward to reading them.   本周在社会和文化人类学中，我们继续从人类学的角度研究了国际供应链。学生们一直在就他们在探究“生产、交换和消费”领域中提出的一个研究问题撰写文章。学生们通过阅读彼此的文章，进行同侪反馈并确定重要概念，以加深他们对该问题的思考。学生最晚于下周一提交撰写的文章，我期待着阅读学生们的成果。

English at AWS 英语

Blue Ties have begun studying Clap When You Land, a novel in verse, which gives students at opportunity to see multiple figuarative language and sound devices at work. In addition this week, we examined foreshadowing as a technique to build suspense in a text, using Rohl Dahl's story "The Landlady" in Escape Room form. Green Ties are preparing for their Unit 1 summative assessments next week, which will include aspects of the IBDP Language Acquisition assessments for writing, reading, listening, and speaking. Yellow Ties focused on writing good paragraphs this week while continuing to follow Percy Jackson on his Hero's Journey. Finally, our Red Tie honed his argument, especially focusing on organizing solid paragraphs, a compelling counterargument, and cleaning up grammar in the revision process.  

在本周的文学课上，蓝带10年级的学生已经开始学习 Clap When You Land。这是一本诗体小说，学生们可以从中学习修辞手法和韵律节奏。除此之外，本周我们还通过学习罗尔·达尔（Rohl Dahl）的故事The Landlady，研究了一种在文本中构建悬念的手法。绿带11年级的学生正在为下周要进行的第一单元总结性评估做准备，该评估将根据IBDP语言习得评估要求，包括写作、阅读、听力和口语。黄带9年级的学生本周专注于写好段落，同时继续跟随 Percy Jackson学习英雄之旅。最后，红带12年级的学生锤炼了自己的论点，特别是在组织严密的段落、令人信服的反驳以及在修改过程中清理语法方面的问题。

PE and Fitness with Coach López 体育健身

After weeks of practice playing different invasion sports, our students got the chance to perform all the learned skills in two different tournaments this week. AWS and Amerasia International School PE departments worked collaboratively to ensure that the students had a safe and encouraging environment to work as a part of a team and try out new challenges. Grades 9 and 10 were mixed together with MYP students from Amerasia International School and play an Ultimate tournament on Tuesday and a Touch Rugby one on Thursday. Both events were a huge success, and we look forward to provide these opportunities to our students again in the future. There were many positive interactions among the different teams and a great deal of sportsmanship was shown during both events.  

经过数周不同运动项目的练习之后，本周我们的学生有机会在两次不同的比赛中展示所学到的技能。白珊·安妮高中和美亚国际学校的学生组成一个团队，在安全有序的环境中相互合作，迎接挑战。9年级和10年级的学生与美亚国际学校MYP的学生一起参加了周二的排球锦标赛和周四的触式橄榄球赛。这两项活动都取得了巨大的成功，我们期待在未来再次为我们的学生提供这些机会。不同球队之间有许多积极的互动，学生们在这两项活动中都表现出了很强的体育精神。 

Our Fitness students, continue developing their different health related fitness components while supporting and spotting each other when needed. They are very independent in the weight room, they know how each of the machines work and which muscle groups the different exercises target. It is expected that by the end of this school year they will be able to use the weight room in their own, and they are working hard towards achieving that goal.  

本周的健身课上，学生们继续按照自己制定的计划进行锻炼，同时在需要时相互支持和帮助。学生们在器械室非常独立，他们了解每台设备的工作原理，以及不同的训练方式有针对地锻炼哪些肌肉群。预计到本学年结束时，他们将能够独立使用器械室，学生们正在努力实现这一目标。

Chinese Literature & Culture with Ms. Emilia  中国文学

本周，我们学习了中国古代思想学说中的法家和墨家。在研读法家代表人物韩非子及其作品《五蠹》的同时，同学们对中国古代历史、文化、哲学、社会制度等作了深入的研究和探讨。我们还学习了墨家的主要代表人物墨子及其代表作《兼爱》，通过学习文学作品，更好地理解墨家的“十大主张”

This week, we learned about the Legalists and Mohists in ancient Chinese thought and theory. While studying Han Feizi, the representative of Legalists, and his work five beetles, the students made an in-depth study and Discussion on ancient Chinese history, culture, philosophy and social system. We also studied Mozi, the main representative of Mohism, and his masterpiece universal love. Through studying literary works, we can better understand the "ten propositions" of Mohism.

IBDP中文课的学生们进行了第一单元话剧《茶馆》的单元测试。通过口试和笔试两种不同的形式，检验了同学们这一阶段的学习成果，也让大家真切感受到自己取得的进步。 同学们的语言表达变得逻辑通顺、条理清晰 、有理有据。写作也不再是杂乱无章，而是有点有面，既深入分析又精炼概括，在规定时间内成功地完成了一篇考试论文。The students of DP Chinese class took the test of the first unit drama Teahouse. Through two different forms of oral test and written test, we tested the students' learning achievements of this unit, and also let them really feel their progress. The students' language expression becomes logical, clear and reasonable. Their writing is no longer disorderly, but a little multifaceted, is not only in-depth analysis but also refined and summarized, and successfully completed an examination paper within the specified time.
