In a remarkable showcase of cultural exploration and creativity, G9 students recently concluded their in-depth inquiry projects with the global context of “Orientation in Time and Space” on four distinct international festivals, wowing their peers, teachers, and their parents with their exceptional performances.
近日，九年级学生们成功完成了一场精彩纷呈的文化探索与创意展示。他们以“时空定位”为全球背景，通过精心的策划和设计，向整个MYP社区展现了四个国际节日的核心价值与独特魅力。这次探究展示是九年级学生们辛勤工作的结晶，他们的卓越表现更令同龄人、老师和家长们惊叹不已。
Divided into four groups, these talented young researchers embarked on a journey to learn and present the rich traditions and celebrations of St. Patrick's Day, American Independence Day, Day of the Dead, and the Diwali Festival. Their goal was very clear --- to dig into the history, customs, and modern-day festivities of these renowned holidays. They also collected a lot of materials so that they could accurately show their information to the audiences.
在本次探究中，学生们被分为了四个小组，以小组为单位开展了他们的学习之旅。从爱尔兰圣帕特里克节到墨西哥亡灵节等等，孩子们充满热情地研究了这些著名节日的历史、习俗、内核以及现代庆祝方式等内容。他们还收集、查证了大量的媒体资料，以便能够准确地把信息展示给观众。
Each group delved deep into their respective holiday's origins, uncovering the tales and traditions that have shaped them over time. From the shamrock-clad revelry of St. Patrick's Day, the patriotic fervor of the American Independence Day, to the understanding of death on the Day of the Dead, and the various celebratory customs of Diwali Festival, the students left no stone unturned in their pursuit of knowledge.
每个小组都深入挖掘了各自节日的起源，揭示了有关这些节日是如何随着时间的演变而变化的。无论是亡灵节中关于死亡的理解，还是排灯节中各式各样的庆祝习俗...学生们在追求知识的过程中一丝不苟，对每一个细节都进行了充分的探索研究。
What set this inquiry project apart, however, was not just the acquisition of facts or information, but the transformative power of creativity. To convey the essence of each festival, these four groups went the extra mile, crafting intricate dioramas and props that transported spectators to the heart of these celebrations. The results were super stunning, showcasing their impressive talents and dedication to their subjects.
本次探究展示最与众不同的地方不仅在于学生们能够从中大量地获取知识，更在于他们创造力的迸发与呈现。为了传达每个节日的精髓，四个小组都不遗余力地制作了精致的景观模型和道具，给人以身临其境的体验。而他们的呈现效果也是令人惊叹的，不仅证明了他们这一个多月以来的的专注、努力和付出，还展现出孩子们在各个方面的才华与能力。
The crowning achievement of this inquriy project was their nice live drama performances, which brought their research to life. The stage came alive with the vibrant reenactments of traditional rituals, dances, as well as music that defined each holiday. The enthusiasm and dedication of our G9 students shone through, leaving the audiences in awe of their exceptional presentations.
而本次探究最令人瞩目的莫过于孩子们的现场戏剧表演。舞台上，四组同学通过精心设计的剧本编排和极富情感的动人演绎，向观众们展示了每个节日的独特魅力以及他们对节日内涵的深入理解。舞蹈、音乐、演讲...精彩的环节，环环相扣，使观众们沉浸其中，并为他们投入的演出鼓掌叫好，学生们的探究热情和孜孜不倦在此刻展现得淋漓尽致。
This G9 inquiry project showcase was a huge success. As spectators left the auditorium, they have carried with them not just an appreciation for these diverse celebrations, but a deeper understanding of the cultural significance that binds people across the globe. These G9 students had truly taken us on a journey around the world, demonstrating that understanding, appreciation, and celebration of our differences are at the heart of a harmonious world.
这次九年级探究展示取得了巨大的成功。当观众们离场时，他们不仅对这些国际节日有了更进一步的了解与认识，还深刻体会到了文化的重要性，文化能将人们紧密地联系在一起。这些九年级学生带领着我们环游世界，不仅让大家感受到了文化的魅力，也让我们认识到了在团结与和谐的道路上，学会理解和尊重其他文化，将会为我们构建一个更多元共融的世界。
