迪士尼出品的电影《花木兰》更是让全球的观众认识了这位勇敢坚韧、个性爽朗的中国姑娘。

Disney shared the stories of this female warrior in its movie around the world. 

Recently, SCFLS organized all primary school students to enjoy the puppet show -- Hua Mulan in Suzhou Culture and Art Center.

The drama created by Shanghai Puppet Theatre has won the Golden Lion Award for the best performance of the 4th National Puppet Show and the special award of the 5th Russian International Puppet Festival.

该剧将传统皮影与现代多媒体有机结合，拓展了皮影戏的表现空间，表现手法新颖独特，人物造型别致，个性鲜明。

This drama combined shadow puppet and modern techniques, which was played out on screens with unique characters and strong personalities. 

从木兰身上，同学们学到了对自己的真、对朋友的信、对父母的孝、对国家的忠。

It is an inspiration to students throughout the ages.

小朋友们更是通过亲手操纵皮影收获了很多欢笑，也对这一非物质文化遗产有了更多的了解。

Students were full of respect and admiration of Mulan and this intangible cultural heritage. 

四、五年级的同学们将开展本学期最后一个UOI探究单元——“共享地球”。为此，孩子们对此剧有了更深的体会。

Students from Year 4 and 5 will start their last UOI -- Sharing the planet in this semester which helps students better understand this drama.

 五年级（3）班的叶子语同学在观后感中这样写道：

After watching the interesting shadow puppetry, some students asked: “Do you remember the four kinds of puppet shows?" Some students said: "I really admire the filial piety and courage of Hua Mulan."

Everyone has learned something in this activity. When I saw Mulan asking the emperor to release the leader of the enemy in exchange for peace between the two countries, I was deeply moved and overwhelmed by her bravery, grace, and wisdom.

Peace is not easy, we should cherish the moment, and be friendly to our classmates. Even if there is a small conflict, we should learn to resolve it peacefully.

--As Ziyu Ye from class 3 Year 5 written after the drama. 

那么，在课堂上的UOI探究单位是如何开展的呢？

让我们一起来看一下吧！

Let’s explore how UOI works in SCFLS.

“为什么会有男女不平等的情况发生？”

“我们能做些什么来改善男女不平等的现象？”

对于这个与大家息息相关的议题，同学们饶有兴趣的议论开来。老师根据学生的提问，整合语言学科的说话与表达，社会学科上的组织与文化，数学学科的数据处理等知识，为学生提供探究思路，使学生对这一议题有了更全面和深入的认识。

"Why is there gender inequality?" "What can we do to improve gender inequality?" Students discussed these questions with great interest. According to students' questions, teachers integrated the knowledge of language and expression, organization and culture in social sciences, data processing in mathematics, and so on, so as to enlighten students during the inquiry process and help students have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this topic.

课堂上的体验真是丰富多彩！学生通过调查家庭分工，完成统计图，认识到很可能在自己的家庭中就存在不平等现象；观察和书写“女”字从古至今的演变，他们理解到不平等现象的长期存在及历史沿革；通过阅读和制作杰出女性的时间轴，更好地让学生认识女性的伟大成就；通过书写穿越时空的一封信，让学生感受现代社会与旧时社会，男女性不平等现象的强烈对比，增强学生对现代社会倡导男女平等的正确认识。

By investigating the division of labor in families and completing the statistical graph, students realized that there is likely to be inequality in their own families. By observing the evolution of the Chinese character "woman" from ancient times to the present, they understood the long-term existence of inequality. By acting as newscasters, students gathered news reports about inequality in different countries. By creating a timeline of outstanding women, students understood the era and the great achievements of women. By writing a letter through time and space, students can feel the sharp contrast between the modern society and the old society, and the inequality between men and women. All of these activities enhanced their correct understanding of the equality between men and women in modern society.

学生利用六分图列举了他们所了解的冲突形成的原因、形式、危害、影响、解决和控制冲突的方法；表演发生在自己身边的冲突；通过阅读和观看视频，了解世界范围内各种场景下的冲突，实现全球背景下的学习。

Students used chart to list the causes, forms, harms, influences and methods of solving and controlling conflicts. They acted out the conflict around themselves. Through reading and watching videos, they learned about the conflicts in various scenes around the world and realize learning in a global context.

在剧本创作过程中，学生通过小组交流与合作，明确了各自的任务：有的写旁白，有的描写人物特点，有的进行道具制作，并且一遍遍的开展话剧排练。

In the process of script creation, students divided their tasks through group communication and cooperation and rehearsed the drama over and over again.

通过单元学习，孩子们反思了平时生活中同学间的冲突，有意识地通过多种方式妥善地解决冲突；意识到和平的来之不易，形成了对祖国和民族强烈的认同感，学会了从自身做起，为更美好、更和平的世界贡献力量。

Besides, students reflected on the conflicts among classmates in daily life, and consciously resolve the conflicts in a variety of ways. They were aware of the valuable peace, formed a strong sense of Chinese identity, and learned to contribute to a better and more peaceful world.

成功的探究将引导学生采取负责任的行动。这种行动将拓展学生的学习，也可能产生更广泛的社会影响，而各个年龄段的学生所采取的行动会有明显的不同。为学习者提供机会并培养他们的能力，使他们能够选择和决定所要采取的行动，并对这些行动进行反思，以改变世界中的自己，并影响和改变世界。

Successful inquiry will lead students to take responsible action. This kind of action, which differs in ages, will expand students' learning and may have a wider social impact. We provide learners with opportunities to develop their ability, take actions and reflect on those actions to change themselves and the world.
