French Elective in Taipei |
In
order to raise students' interest in
French culture , the Experiment
all Department
French Elective class held a
rather interesting trip
on May 17 to allow the students to have hands-on experience on both table
manners
and daily life knowledge on the culture. Their
first stop was
a bookstore in Taipei where they
were introduced to the publishing
process of French books and magazines.
The bookstore owner , who
was a French , personally planned various
activities for the students. Later,
students went to have lunch at the
Ritz Landis Hotel to taste and learn about
French cuisine. This experience not only increased the students' knowledge
about
French cultures , but also gave them
a chance to use what they
have learned in class. |

Bilingual Department Chinese Presentations |
Would you like to enter the women's world of Li Ru-Zhen's Flowers in the
Mirror and see the confusion
caused by the reversal of genders? Or
would you like to go back to the Warring States Period to see how
General
Tien Tan charged the enemy encampment using oxen
with burning tails ?
If you would, The Bilingual Department Chinese
Presentation is where you should have been.
On May 18 and 25, the 7th to 12th graders and
their Chinese teachers gathered together for two mornings
of entertainment.
For
weeks before , students had been
beating their
brains out to
realistically recreate scenes from stories.
The products of their creativity
were presented in
plays such as The Ten Chinese Brothers,
a story
about ten brothers who each possessed superhuman
talents. The student
who played
Fourth Brother wore pantyhose on his arm
and tugged
mercilessly at his own " skin " effectively
recreating the extraordinary
elasticity of Fourth Brother's rubbery skin and giving the audience a good
laugh. The hard work of students and teachers obviously paid off when
their presentations were met with laughter and applause. |

The Eighth Graders Go Camping |

distinguish between different wildlife plants and their skills in using the compass, putting up tents, tying knots, and other scouting skills. |
