深国交院长随堂听课（二）| Principal Mobsby joins Online Learning Classes

上周我有幸旁听了一节AS化学课，今天早上我又加入了数学老师Summer Xia的课堂。这堂课上，Summer老师应用了Teams进行授课。一开始，Summer老师先点名，确保同学们都已经加入进来，不过也有个别同学网络连接不是很顺畅。原来26人的课堂，今天有1人缺席。

Last week, I had the opportunity to join an AS Chemistry class. This morning I began with G1.1 Mathematics with Xia Laoshi, Miss Summer. We are using Teams today and the lesson began with the register and assisting the one or two students with connection issues. There were 26 of us in the lesson, so just one of our class was absent today.

今天讲的是三角函数，大家一起先复习回顾上节课留的作业。Summer老师通过提问的方式让我们都知道了答案，随后她分享了自己的屏幕，细致地讲解了如何得到答案的过程。Summer老师同时运用OneNote进行板书，这样学生都可以在课后查看笔记。

Then we went onto the lesson, with the topic of trigonometry, beginning with a review of the homework from last time. We got the answer when the teacher asked one of the class and then Miss Summer explained to us the important details of how to get to the answer, sharing her screen and writing the working out so that we could all see it. She was using OneNote to write on with her computer because we can all access it and check back on what we did later.

Summer老师认真解释了计算过程中避免简单错误的重要性，并讲述了为什么有些解不在所求区间范围。

She carefully explained what was important for us to remember when doing the calculation to avoid simple errors and why some solutions are not included in the required interval.

讲解完作业之后，我们进入到本节课的主题。Summer老师给学生们介绍了这节课的目标，关于在所求区间范围内，如何解余弦函数方程。大致介绍之后老师让我们先自己练习一下。运算出来之后，我们听见窗外的鸟都在欢快地鸣叫。随后，老师指定一位同学展示演算过程，在老师的指点下最终得到了完整的解决方法。我觉得我的“同学们”真的挺聪明！谢谢Summer老师和G1.1班的数学课！

After explaining the homework, we went onto the main part of the lesson with the teacher telling us today’s objectives on how to solve cosine equations in an interval. The teacher gave a brief introduction and then let us try for ourselves first. While we worked, we could hear the birds singing outside. Then one of our classmates was asked to go through how she got the answer, with the teacher guiding her to help her get to the full solution. I think my classmates are smart. Thank you G1.1 Mathematics and Miss Summer for the lesson.

今天我旁听了G2的Back  Yang老师的生物课，我们使用的是Zoom上课。我有些许迟到错过了点名，但Back老师可以在群里看到我们出勤的情况。

This morning I am joining G2 Biology with Yang Laoshi, Mr Back. We are using zoom today, but I am a few minutes late so have missed the register, but Mr Back can see the list of us on the group.

正式上课了，Back老师通过提问的形式让我们开始了解消化系统和消化器官。老师鼓励我们提问并给出了非常具体的解答。接着Back老师引出了对抗肌的概念，并将其与身体其他部位联系起来，让这一概念与我们产生更多的相关性。

We are already into the lesson, looking at the digestive system with Mr Back asking us questions and showing the parts of the digestive system, starting with a simple question – “can a person drink or eat upside down?”. Our teacher allows us to also ask questions to help us understand the details. Now Mr Back is getting us to relate the idea of antagonistic muscles to other parts of the body, making the idea more relevant for us.

网络课程让我比较喜欢的地方是，当老师通过麦克风提问时我和我的同学们都能听得非常清楚，在教室上课时有时候坐在后排的同学就可能会听得比较模糊。当然，回答问题时也必须用英文，当有人小声嘀咕时老师也会好言提醒，这对我们的英语提高作用颇大。

What I like about these online lessons is that the teacher asks us questions and with the microphones we can all hear clearly and hear the answers from our classmates – sometimes in the classroom when we are maybe at the back of the room we can’t always hear what people answer. Of course, we still have to use English when we are answering, and the teacher nicely reminds us if we slip – its good practice for us.

当老师挨个提问时，我认真地倾听同学们的回答，每一个答案都帮助我们在已有的认识基础上构建起一个更完整的消化系统的框架。

Listening to my classmates answering the questions as the teacher asks us in turn, each answer helps us building up the diagram of the digestive system using what we already know to add to a bigger picture.

对于一些比较冗长且难度大的问题，Back老师给我们更多的时间去思考，独立理解这些概念，然后再向我们解释答案。我觉得我们有更多的机会提问，也可以通过聊天功能向老师询问个别不懂的问题。

For the longer and more difficult questions, Mr Back gives us more time so we can think and work through the ideas by ourselves before he calls us all back to the lesson to explain our answers. I think we have had more chances to ask and answer questions today and we can also use the chat function to type an extra question to the teacher if we don’t understand something.

当我们回顾今天所学的知识时，我惊讶于今天学习了这么一个复杂的系统，从部分到整体。消化系统确实很复杂，但将它们拆解来学会使其变得简单而有逻辑。谢谢Back老师精彩的生物课！

When we go back through the whole diagram of all that we have been studying today, it is amazing how we have built up the ideas of such a complex system, piece by piece. The digestive system is very complex but all the little parts we have studied are simple and logical. Thank you G2.X1 Biology and Mr Back.

这次，我来到G1.8班Kaisar老师的英语课上，今天要学习的是《夜色下的死狗之谜》。通过阅读和分析文章，再理解文章中使用的语气，也就是作者对于我们所讨论的主题所持的态度。因为有些人不太明白这一概念，老师强调了这对于我们理解文章非常重要，因为它跟其他上下文是不一样的。

This morning I have joined G1.8 English with Mr Kaisar. We are studying The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. We begin with some reading and explaining from the text to show the tone being used. This is the author’s attitude towards the subject matter being discussed, and because some of us are uncertain as to the definition, the teacher emphasises for us how important it is for us to understand this as it is different to other contexts.

我们轮流从文章选择一段，阅读并解释作者的语气。我们都跟着阅读的进度，翻看自己手中的书本，然后讨论文章中相应的细节，找到能表现作者语气的相关论据。谢谢Kaisar老师和G1.8班的同学们！

We take it in turns for one of us to choose a passage in the text, read it and explain the author’s tone. We all follow along on the reading as we each have our own copies of the books and can find the same page. Then we discuss the details in the passage and what evidence there is that lets us know the tone. Thank you G1.8 English and Mr Kaisar.
