本学期末，温州森马协和国际学校高中部组织了首届小说节，旨在促进对阅读的热爱、提升学生的文学赏析能力。从寒假期间（2023年1月）开始，英语老师们就引导学生踏上了阅读之旅。从选书，到读书，再到开学后在课堂上一起赏析、研究及讨论。在五月份，为了更好地指导老师们将小说研读融入到课堂，高中英语组还邀请校外专家开展工作坊来交流教学策略。学生们在前期赏析完小说，就开始积极投入到六月中旬的展览准备工作，通过引人入胜的人物分析、背景介绍、情节概括、书评撰写、封面设计以及现场讲解等形式，在小说展览活动中向全校师生展现所读作品的精髓。6月29日，学部在大剧院举行了一场盛大的晚会，学生们通过戏剧朗诵、配音、话剧、手偶剧和音乐剧改编等方式将每一本小说的魅力呈现给观众。
This semester, WZ SUIS High School organized the first Fiction Adventure, an exciting activity to promote a love for reading and enhance students’ literary skills.
Starting with book selection during the winter vacation (January, 2023), our dedicated teachers guided students throughout their reading journey, providing valuable insights and encouraging discussions.
Workshops by experts (May, 2023) equipped teachers with effective teaching strategies centered around the selected novels.
Students actively participated in exhibition preparations (June, 2023), showcasing their creativity through visually captivating displays reflecting the essence of the novels.
On June 29th, 2023, the activity culminated in a grand gala show at the Grand Theater, where students brought the magic of novels to life through dramatic readings, skits, plays, puppetry and musical adaptations.
下面就一起来欣赏这场非凡的探险吧……
