From the Director  项目主任总结

This week has been an exciting build-up to Halloween, which is celebrated in many countries -- a celebrated tradition in the U.S. and many other countries.  Both students and teachers have done very well to stay focused on their lessons and teaching containing their excitement for the planned Halloween activities Thursday and costume day Friday.  

本周我们举行了令人激动的万圣节活动。万圣节是美国和其他一些国家的传统节日，许多国家在万圣节都有庆祝活动。学生和老师们本周在集中精力进行课程学习和教学活动外，也积极准备和参加了周四下午举行的万圣节活动和周五全天的装扮日活动。 

As you may have read in the Journalism class's recent edition of Annie Writes, Halloween is a tradition that stems from very old Gaelic, Celtic, and Christian traditions.  20th Century traditions include decorating, dressing in costumes, sharing candy, and games.  Baishan AWS has done our best to represent these customs by decorating, having fun games on Thursday, dress-up day on Friday, and activities.  Additionally, students and faculty have been invited to guess the number of candy pieces in a jar displayed in the lobby.   正如本期安妮校报上读到的文章所述，万圣节起源于古老的盖尔人、凯尔特人和基督教的传统。20世纪万圣节的传统包括装饰、盛装打扮、分享糖果和游戏。白珊·安妮高中通过教室装饰、周四的趣味游戏和周五的盛装打扮以及其他的各种活动，尽我们所能地让学生们体验这些习俗。此外，学生和老师们还积极参与了猜测大厅里一个罐子里糖果数量的游戏。

Mathematics with Mr. Guo 数学

This week, Grade 10 students focused on the story of functions. We begin with set notation, intervals, definition of Function, function notation, domain, and range of functions. We tried to look at the functions verbally, graphically, numerically, as well as algebraically.

十年的的学生这周开始学习函数的基础理论，包括集合，区间，函数的定义，表示方式，定义域和值域。我们学习着从语言，图像，数字和代数的角度看函数。

Trigonometry is one of the most important unit in our Pre-calculus curriculum. This week, Grade 11 reviewed trigonometry in the right triangle and then expanded their knowledge into any triangle. They derived the sine rule, cosine rule and area of a triangle and applied these rules in solving problems.

三角函数是预备微积分里最重要的一个单元。这周十一年级的同学先复习直角三角形的三角函数，然后把知识拓展到了任意三角形。他们推导出正弦定理，余弦定理和三角形面积公式，并用这些定理去解决问题.

Grade 9 did a topic test on solving quadratic equations this week. Then we tried to use Microsoft Excel to graph quadratic functions - parabola. Students concluded that, in order to make the graph reasonably accurate, they need to know axis of symmetry, vertex, y-intercept and x-intercept of the function. Next week, we'll be working on finding this information of quadratic functions.

九年级的同学完成了 解一元二次方程的单元测试。我们尝试着用Microsoft Excel去画一元二次函数图像-抛物线。为了使图像更加精确，同学们总结出几个必要信息：对称轴，顶点，x轴和y轴交点。下周我们将具体学习如何画抛物线。

English Language Arts with Ms. Jia and Ms. Jenn 英语语言文学

Physics with Mr. Kytle 物理

SEQ Figure \*ARABIC 12 - Jack-O-Lanterns are part of an ancient tradition that dates back thousands of years. On the night of October 31, people in Northern Europe celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. We place Jack-O-Lanterns around our homes to keep us safe from bad spirits. In the spirit of this festival the students carved Jack-O-Lanterns as part of our Halloween festival. 南瓜灯是万圣节的一个古老传统 ，可以追溯到几千年前。10月31日晚，北欧民众庆祝Samhain，当时人们相信死者的鬼魂会返回地球。人们在家里点燃南瓜灯，来阻止不好的鬼魂的来访。为了让学生们更好地体验这个节日，我们组织了学生雕刻了南瓜灯。

13 - Happy Halloween!!!

This week the students finalized their understanding of atoms and how they can be linked together to form molecules. This information will come in handy later as we will soon start to examine the different forces that exist in the Universe. As it is Halloween this Saturday, I have given over a class to having the students make Jack-O-Lanterns.  We will return to our studies of Physics and the students will review for their exam on Scope and Scale which will occur later next week.

本周在物理课上，学生们完成了对原子的学习，以及它们是如何连接在一起形成分子的。这些知识将在以后的学习中用到，很快我们将开始研究宇宙中存在的不同力量。 为了庆祝本周的万圣节活动，我教给了学生如何制作南瓜灯。下周 物理课上我们将复习比例和规模这一单元并进行测试。  

Chemistry with Ms. Jiajia 化学

In this week, Grade 11 students carried out an experiment to investigate the physical properties and how Alkali metals (group 1) & Alkaline Earth metals (group 2) react with water.  They were socked and excited by what they saw and found.They found alkali were very soft and easily to be cut. They deduced the activity orders of group 1&2 metals through the experiment. They learned “formation of ions” and periodicity including trends of atomic size and ionic size, first ionization energy according to the whole periodic table. 

这个星期，11年级学生通过化学实验探讨了碱金属和碱土金属的物理与化学性质，对比了不同金属与水反应的激烈程度，发现了碱金属柔软的质地极易切割推断出金属的活动顺序。他们感到震惊和兴奋，对于他们所看到和所发现的。他们学习了离子的形成与周期性质，包括原子离子的的半径变化，第一电离能的变化趋势。

Chinese Language with Ms. Zheng 中国文学

本周10年级学习了道家学术思想、代表人物庄子及其经典之作《逍遥游》。道家奉行道法自然，清净无为。《逍遥游》通过寓言故事，探讨人生哲学，蕴含了辩证法因素和无神论倾向。通过赏析课文，体会道家的学术精髓，感悟精神世界的自由豁达，并学习庄子文章中新奇的构思，大胆的想象和极具浪漫主义的文学特点。

This week, grade 10th learned Taoist academic thought, representative figure Zhuangzi and his classic work "Xiaoyaoyou". Taoism pursues the way of nature, pure and inaction. Xiaoyaoyou explores the philosophy of life through fables, which contains dialectical factors and atheism tendency. Through the appreciation of the text, we can understand the academic essence of Taoism, the freedom and openness of the spiritual world, and learn the novel ideas, bold imagination, and romantic literary characteristics in Zhuangzi's articles.

11年级本学期的词汇Project——关于词语的专题讲解本周在课堂上，由同学们一一精彩呈现。有的讲了“一字多义”，有的介绍“一语双关”，有的对 “常见混淆词语”进行辨析，还有的对跨文化交际中的词语现象进行了解读。虽然语法作为语言中最难的一部分，有很大的学术挑战性，但是同学们通过自己的研究、分析和探索，都出色地完成了这项作业，并很好地锻炼了他们的表达讲解能力。

This week in AP Chinese class, the students of grade 11th presented their project of Vocabulary one by one. Some talk about "polysemy", some introduce "Pun", some discriminate "common confused words", and some interpret the phenomenon of words in cross-cultural communication. Although grammar is the most difficult part of the language, it has great academic challenges, but through their own research, analysis and exploration, the students have completed this assignment excellently, and exercised their ability of expression and explanation.

Visual Arts with Mr. Brandt 视觉艺术

Chinese Studies with Mr. Zhan 中国文学

本周9年级学生继续学习《智取生辰纲》。据研究，当思维被可视化后，信息加工及信息传递的效能将将大大提高。在教学上，能使“教”变得更清晰，“学”变得更轻松、更快乐。“思维导图”是实现“思维可视化”的技术之一。在学习本课时，学生们在自主阅读的基础上，分专题制作了思维导图，然后进行讲解分享。在回答“听众”的提问时，讲解员有时采用类比的方式，有时采用打比方的的方式，这可以看出学生们具有较强的发散思维。当遇到无法解释的问题时，老师指导学生再回到文章中去，从字里行间中找线索、信息，培养学生“研”读文本的意识和能力。

This week, grade 9th students continue to learn the "Seizure of Birthday Gift Shipment by Trickery”. According to research, when thinking is visualized, the efficiency of information processing and information transmission will be greatly improved. In teaching, it can make "teaching" clearer and "learning" more relaxed and happier. "Mind map" is one of the technologies to realize "thinking visualization". In this class, the students made mind map based on independent reading, and then explained and shared. When answering the "audience" questions, the announcer sometimes adopts analogy, sometimes by analogy, which shows that students have strong divergent thinking. When encountering unexplained problems, the teacher instructs the students to go back to the article to find clues and information between the lines, to cultivate the students' awareness and ability to "research" the text.

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

At the beginning of class, several students were invited to share their favorite career and one that they had never heard of based on the search on the professional website. Then I distributed the Career Interest Areas handout and lead students to review those six different areas. After that, I told students that I was going to give them a list of careers, and their task would be to try to match each career with the appropriate career interest area. I distributed the Holland Code Career Matching worksheet and students had discussion with their partner and then wrote down their answers. In general, they did a really good job, which means most of them have mastered the main characteristics of each career interest area. More importantly, through this activity students learned about several careers that they considered interesting.

在课程开始时，几个学生被邀请根据专业网站上的搜索结果分享他们最喜欢的职业和一个他们从未听说过的职业。然后我分发了职业兴趣领域的讲义，带领学生复习了六个不同的领域。之后，我给他们列出一份职业清单，他们的任务是努力让每一份职业都与相应的职业兴趣领域相匹配。我分发了“荷兰代码职业匹配”工作表，学生们和他们的搭档讨论，然后写下他们的答案。总的来说，他们做得非常好，这意味着他们中的大多数人已经掌握了每个职业兴趣领域的主要特点。更重要的是，通过这次活动，学生们了解了一些他们认为有趣的之前并不知道的职业。
