Middle School｜English PBA Showcase 初中段PBA成果展示

6月6日中午，西楼的连廊上洋溢着欢庆的气氛，欢呼声和击掌声此起彼伏。这是六年级学生英语项目式评估成果展的现场，许多学生正自豪地展示他们精心制作的、令人惊艳的“TIME时代杂志”。

活动气氛热烈，融合了多种元素：学生的努力、创造力、想象力与欢庆氛围交织在一起，令人振奋。这些原本只属于课堂成果的杂志，被放大打印在画布上，陈列在走廊里一一展出，视觉效果十分震撼，吸引了来自各个年级的师生驻足观赏。大家纷纷领取选票，为自己最喜爱的杂志投上一票。

On June 6th, 2025, at lunchtime, SHSID Hsi building’s skywalk was filled with celebrations, “hooray”s, and high-fives. It was the SHSID 6th grade’s English PBA (Project-Based Assessment) showcase, where many students were proudly displaying the fascinating TIME magazines that they had created. Like a hearty bowl of soup, the event was a concoction of just the right ingredients: students’ hard work, creativity, imagination, and celebration! The magazines, printed large on canvases and exhibited along the hallway, were eye-popping and attracted the curiosity and excitement of teachers and students from many grade levels, who grabbed ballots and voted for their favorite magazine.

这场成果展是一个为期六周项目的最终环节。在这个项目中，学生们研究了一位现实生活中有影响力的杰出人物，撰写了一篇与该人物的虚构访谈，并设计、印刷了一本真正的杂志来收录他们的访谈内容。许多展出的杂志超出了预期，内容十分完整：不仅包含了引言和场景设定，还有虚构的广告登在封底上、用于零售库存管理的条形码，以及额外的附加文章，宛如一本真正出版的杂志！

This showcase was the final step of a six-week project in which students researched a real-life influential figure, drafted a fictional interview with them, and designed and printed a real magazine to contain their interview. Many of the magazines on display went above and beyond, complete with introductions and scene setting, fictional advertisements on the back covers, bar codes for retail inventory, and additional articles like a real magazine!

在投票统计结束后，第一名由来自6-10班的Vivian获得，第二名由6-6班的Grace 获得，第三名则由五位同学并列！这些学生为这项出色的作品投入了巨大的努力，为同学们树立了一个极好的榜样，充分展现了学生的卓越成就。

After the votes were counted, the first place prize went to Vivian Li from class 6-10, second place went to Grace Yin from class 6-6, and there was a five-way tie for third place! These students put prodigious amount of effort into the impressive work and had set a wonderful example of student achievement.

通过对几位获奖学生的采访，可以看出他们在项目中不仅提升了排版设计、图文协调、场景设定等技能，还在模仿语气和文学写作方面有了显著进步。尽管过程中遇到了诸如图片与版面不匹配、背景设计困难等挑战，但学生们通过不断尝试和老师的指导，最终克服了难题。他们纷纷表示，这次项目既锻炼了综合能力，也带来了成就感和乐趣。

Through interviews with several award-winning students, it is clear that they not only improved their skills in layout design, image-text coordination, and scene setting, but also made significant progress in imitating tones and literary writing. Although they encountered challenges such as mismatched images and layouts, as well as difficulties in background design, the students overcame these obstacles through continuous effort and guidance from their teachers. They all expressed that this project helped develop their comprehensive abilities and brought them a strong sense of achievement and enjoyment.

本周，浦西七年级学生将西区教学楼的走廊变身成了一个充满活力的"思想法庭"，精彩呈现了他们对于正义、偏见与媒体力量的深入探索。这场名为"世纪审判"的展览通过学生自写的报纸文章、戏剧性重演和互动展示，深入剖析了三场具有里程碑意义的案件：斯科普斯案（"猴子审判"）、《十二怒汉》以及基顿言论自由辩论案。

This week, our seventh graders transformed the hallways into a vibrant courtroom of ideas, showcasing their deep dive into justice, bias, and the power of the press. The "Trials of the Century" exhibit featured student-written newspaper articles, dramatic reenactments, and interactive displays exploring three landmark cases: the Scopes "Monkey Trial," 12 Angry Men, and the Keyton free speech debate.

前来参观的师生们赞叹不已地看着墙上张贴的色彩缤纷的新闻报纸文章——这些文章专业印刷在真正的新闻纸上。每一篇文章都展示了学生们对新闻报道平衡性的把握，剖析了这些审判中的争议焦点。

Visitors marveled at the colorful newsprint articles—professionally printed on real newspaper stock—lining the walls. Each piece demonstrated the students' grasp of journalistic balance as they dissected the trials' controversies.

活动亮点是一份特别版报纸，它汇集了每个七年级英语班级的最佳文章，同样印刷在真正的新闻纸上，并分发给参与者。旁边设置的"问答站"邀请参观者就争议性话题展开辩论，而播放的视频片段则展示了学生们表演的精彩法庭场景，其中法槌敲击和激烈的交叉质询一应俱全。

The highlight was a special edition newspaper compiling the best articles from each Grade 7 English class, printed on real newsprint and delivered to participants. Nearby, a Q&A station invited visitors to debate controversial topics, while video clips showed students performing dramatic courtroom scenes, complete with gavels and heated cross-examinations.

"这不仅仅是关于历史，更是关于观察正义、说服力和真相如何在当今世界运作。"外教老师Mr Wendell解释道。师生们在离开展览时表示，有幸亲眼见证了这些未来记者和法律人才的风采！

"This isn't just about history," explained teacher Mr. Wendell. "It's about seeing how justice, persuasion, and truth play out in today's world." As visitors left, many remarked how the showcase didn't just display work—it made them rethink their own assumptions.

2025年6⽉11⽇午休时间，⼋年级英⽂组在西楼C栋6楼举办了⼀场趣味横⽣的PBA展示活动。此次活动展⽰了同学们为英⽂课题作业制作的优秀杂志，⽽这学期的英⽂课题旨在推动学⽣们各⾃找出⼀件他们认为“影响了特定⽂化的事”，反思事件的效果以及其背后⼈们想表达的思想。在活动过程中，⼋年级的⽼师们引导并⿎励了学⽣们浏览不同杂志作品，挑选出⾃⼰最喜欢的⼀本，再将作品的突出之处记录下来。学⽣们还可以在教室内展出的⽩板上上写下⾃⼰对本英⽂单元核⼼问题：“什么是⽂化？”的回答。同学们纷纷踊跃参与，津津有味地在杂志⾥寻找着⾃⼰最感兴趣的⽂化话题与“转折点”事件。

On June 11th, 2025, the Grade 8 English Group hosted a PBA showcase and reading activity on the 6th floor of C building during lunch break, exhibiting the excellent magazines made by students for their PBAs. The main objective of the PBA was for the students to find an event that had influenced a particular culture and reflect upon the impact. During the activity, teachers guided and encouraged students to look through the magazine collections, find one of their favorites, and reflect upon what the piece did well. Students were also provided with the opportunity to write down their own response towards the unit essential question—“what is culture” on a board displayed inside the room.

在午休时间结束之际，本次阅读活动也圆满落下了帷幕。通过这场活动，同学们不但积极探索了历史上不同的事件，还思考了这些事件如何塑造了我们今天所观察到的不同⽂化。⼤家在欣赏同学作品的同时更加深了对⽂化的理解，认识到了⽂化的演变以及每种⽂化背后传递的讯息。学⽣之间的交流学习为他们每⼀位都带来了新的视⾓，帮助他们更好地了解了⾃⼰以及⾃⼰所⽣活的世界，进⼀步加深了他们对本单元“⽂化”主题学习⽬标的理解。

The activity concluded very successfully, with students across the grade fully engaging and exploring the different events that happened throughout history and how the events have shaped a specific culture that we observe today. The students enjoyed the works of their peers greatly while developing a deeper understanding on what culture is, how it evolves, and the messages of people behind every culture. The form of learning through communication between students brings new perspectives, which will help enhance the students’ knowledge of themselves and the world that they live in, building a strong connection to the purpose of this unit.
