六、阅读下面短文,回答短文后的问题(共 4 小题;1—3 题每小题 2 分,第 4 题 3 分,满分 9 分)
Project-based learning(项目化学习)is learning while doing:It gives learners the chance to get a deeper understanding of a topic(话题). Project-based learning is becoming widely used in schools. Students work on a project over a period of time — from a week to a term. At the end of the project,they show their knowledge and skills by creating a product(成果). Let's look at the example of Sandra.
Sandra is a 13-year-old student. She wanted to know more about Greek mythology(希腊神话). Well,how did she make it?
| She chose Greek mythology characters as the topic because she was interested in the characters and their stories. | Step 1 Choose a topic |
| She had to learn about that topic and do some research. To collect information,she read through materials on Greek mythology. She also read some novels like Percy Jackson. She watched videos and played games about Greek mythology. | Step 2 Do the research |
| She created a project based on(以……为基础)her talents and skills. She loves to build with Legos(乐高),so she decided to build Lego Greek mythology characters. She's also really good at art,so she created a book about her favourite characters. In it,she drew pictures and wrote the stories in her own words. | Step 3 Create a project |
| After all of that work,she made a presentation for Mom and Dad and shared the two products that she created. Then she shared her project online with friends,and even shared her project on social media. | Step 4 Do the presentation |
From the example of Sandra,we can see that project-based learning allows a student to learn about a topic and then create a project based on his or her talents and skills. Through project work,students can not only learn deeply about a topic,but also have fun learning. So if you're interested in something,why not start with project-based learning?
