AP考試日期為5月11日至22日，補(bǔ)考定在6月。在接下來的幾周內(nèi)，隨著大學(xué)理事會不斷公布更多考試調(diào)整的細(xì)節(jié)。

01.DAP's Letter

學(xué)術(shù)項(xiàng)目主任來信

Dear Students and Parents:

親愛的同學(xué)及家長：

This is Mr. Mark Wilkerson. First, I would like to inform you of some position changes. During the past month, I have been honored to begin serving as the new Director of Academic Programs here at BIPH. Regardless of titles, the entirety of the BIPH leadership team will continue to work together on all student and academic issues and to continuously offer a quality education.

我是Mark Wilkerson。借此，向大家說明我很榮幸晉升為華潤小徑灣貝賽思國際學(xué)校的學(xué)術(shù)項(xiàng)目主任 (DAP)。小徑灣校區(qū)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)會繼續(xù)團(tuán)結(jié)協(xié)作，為不斷提升教育品質(zhì)而努力!

For the past several months, I have seen dedicated and committed work and efforts from our teachers and students, and I thank you, parents, for all of the guidance and help you have provided for your kids over these last several challenging months!

誠然，過去幾個(gè)月的教學(xué)充滿挑戰(zhàn)，但我們共同見證了所有教師與同學(xué)們的奉獻(xiàn)精神與不懈努力的堅(jiān)韌。在此，我對各位家長為孩子們提供的指導(dǎo)與幫助表示衷心感謝!

As you may know, AP exam season is coming. As a result of the challenges presented by COVID-19 worldwide, College Board recently announced major changes to its AP exams. Compared to years past, this year’s exams will be shorter; will cover less material; and will only feature Free Response Questions instead of Multiple Choice questions. However, since these changes have been announced, our teachers have adjusted their curriculum and are working tirelessly with their students every class to ensure that students stay aware of what they will need to do to be prepared and have success on their AP exams.

如您所知，我們即將迎來AP考試季。受COVID-19疫情影響，美國大學(xué)理事會最近宣布對今年AP考試進(jìn)行重要調(diào)整。與往年相比，調(diào)整包括：每門考試時(shí)長將有所縮短，考查知識范圍縮小，不設(shè)選擇題，僅設(shè)置問答題等。自考試調(diào)整公布以來，我校老師迅速調(diào)整教學(xué)計(jì)劃，積極與學(xué)生通過遠(yuǎn)程課堂進(jìn)行溝通，確保學(xué)生了解如何調(diào)整備考策略，以幫助學(xué)生在AP考試中取得成功。

Exams are scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 22, with make-up dates in June. Over the coming days and weeks, I will provide many updates to all of you as we find out more about particular details of the exams. For specific questions regarding the exam,

AP考試日期為5月11日至22日，補(bǔ)考定在6月。在接下來的幾周內(nèi)，隨著大學(xué)理事會不斷公布更多考試調(diào)整的細(xì)節(jié)，我校將持續(xù)為各位考生、家長更新考試訊息。

Thank you again for all of your support of our school community!

再次感謝海龍集體家庭成員對我校工作的支持!

03.AP Review

AP復(fù)習(xí)連連看

AP Calculus

AP 微積分

Madalina Ailincai

Since most of our students are enrolled in multiple AP courses, creating a study schedule is very important. When creating a study schedule, allow 40-45 minutes study sessions for each subject with 10-15 minutes of break between sessions.

考慮到我校很多學(xué)生都參加了多個(gè)AP課程，因此制定一份合理的學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)劃十分重要。當(dāng)我們制定學(xué)習(xí)規(guī)劃時(shí)，應(yīng)為每個(gè)科目安排40-45分鐘的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間，且每兩個(gè)科目之間留出10-15分鐘的間隔。

In AP Calculus AB, students should find time to organize their binder and put the notes in order so they can be easily accessible during review sessions. Also, retrieve and charge your TI-Nspire graphing calculator, you may need it during the exam.

學(xué)習(xí)AP微積分AB課程的同學(xué)應(yīng)該抽出時(shí)間整理活頁文件夾和筆記，以便在復(fù)習(xí)期間能便捷地找到所需的學(xué)習(xí)材料。另外，一定要檢查TI-Nspire繪圖計(jì)算器并為其充電，在考試過程中可能會用到它。

In class, we have been working on Type FRQs. These are free response questions from previous exams organized by concepts. I strongly encourage each student to print these ”Type FRQs Problems” and review them.

課堂上，我們一直在學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)用題的解題技巧，這些題目是按考點(diǎn)歸類出來的往年AP考試真題。我強(qiáng)烈建議每位學(xué)生把這些問答題打印出來，便于復(fù)習(xí)。

Since the AP exam is timed, you want to make sure you train yourself to complete each question in the allocated time. Allow no more than 15 minutes for each of the free response question.

AP考試是限時(shí)考試，同學(xué)們在練習(xí)中要確保在規(guī)定時(shí)間內(nèi)完成解題，訓(xùn)練自己每道題目的答題時(shí)間不超過15分鐘。

But the most important piece of advice for students is to ask questions. The more questions you ask, the better prepared you will be for the AP Exams.

但是對學(xué)生來說，我們給出最重要的建議是主動提問。同學(xué)們提出的問題越多，你們?yōu)锳P考試做的準(zhǔn)備就充分。

AP Economics

AP 經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)

Elizabeth Lotus

-Focus on FRQ practice and review.

重點(diǎn)練習(xí)解答題并復(fù)習(xí)相關(guān)知識點(diǎn)。

-Go above and beyond on Albert.io. You have every question on the platform for your Econ courses open to you to practice. Don't wait for your teachers to assign you homework; work ahead and practice those topics you feel weak on!

充分利用Albert.io網(wǎng)站的學(xué)習(xí)資源。該平臺上有經(jīng)濟(jì)課上學(xué)過所有知識點(diǎn)的練習(xí)題，切勿被動等待老師布置作業(yè)，對于自己還沒牢牢掌握的知識點(diǎn)，同學(xué)們要主動學(xué)習(xí)。

課堂直播

Dr. Richard Vigilante

This week in Algebra two we worked on graphing parabolas. Students learned that a quadratic equation can be converted from standard form to vertex form by completing the square. Once students calculated the vertex from of a quadratic, the vertex was identified and the parabola easily graphed. In addition, students were able to easily determine if a parabola opened upward or opened downward by analyzing the lead term. Utilizing the Zoom platform, students were able to share their screen with classmates or draw directly on my shared notes using the annotate feature. This has been one of my favorite lessons because it connected so many different mathematical concepts and vocabulary.

本周在代數(shù)2課堂上，Dr. V帶著孩子們學(xué)習(xí)了拋物線的繪制。通過學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)了如何將二元一次標(biāo)準(zhǔn)方程轉(zhuǎn)換為頂點(diǎn)方程。學(xué)生只需計(jì)算出二次方程的頂點(diǎn)，就能找到該頂點(diǎn)位置并輕松繪制拋物線圖。此外，通過分析前置項(xiàng)，同學(xué)們一眼就能斷定拋物線開口是朝上還是朝下。在Zoom教學(xué)平臺上，同學(xué)們可以共享屏幕或利用注釋功能直接在老師共享的筆記上繪圖。這個(gè)單元是Dr. V最喜歡的內(nèi)容之一，因?yàn)樗w了許多不同的數(shù)學(xué)概念和詞匯。

Last week in Geography class students explored different extreme weather conditions that happen around the world. The students then chose which extreme weather they were most interested in and completed research to find out more about it. Once their research was complete, they were given the final task of creating a "Weather Report Video". 上周的地理課上，學(xué)生們探索了世界各地發(fā)生的各種極端天氣情況。他們要選擇最感興趣的極端天氣，深入調(diào)查，收集更多相關(guān)信息。在完成調(diào)研后，他們還接受了老師給出的終極任務(wù)——“報(bào)道天氣預(yù)報(bào)”。

05.Sea Dragons’ ELL experts

海龍身邊的英語輔導(dǎo)專家

Our ELL teachers’ goal is to make sure the academic material and concepts are accessible to our students. They work closely with the subject teacher, so that we can ensure that all the students have the opportunity to learn and succeed. Often they co-teach the class, approaching the material in ways that address the diverse learning needs of our students. Do you want to know how our ELL teachers support distance learning, how ELL teachers collaborate with Subject Expert Teachers, what English and/or academic support services our AP students can expect from the ELL Department and how students improve their English fluency when they are at home? please watch the video below.

我校ELL老師的工作目標(biāo)是確保學(xué)生們能掌握專業(yè)課老師教授的學(xué)術(shù)知識。ELL老師與專業(yè)課老師一起，不僅幫助學(xué)生們理解知識點(diǎn)，還通過共同授課的方式，與專業(yè)課老師從不同角度，確保所有需要英語輔導(dǎo)的孩子們達(dá)成學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)。那么，在現(xiàn)階段遠(yuǎn)程授課中，我校ELL老師是如何打破地理限制提高學(xué)生們英文水平?他們又是如何與專業(yè)課老師合作教學(xué)?AP學(xué)生又可以從ELL團(tuán)隊(duì)尋求到怎樣的英語及學(xué)術(shù)輔導(dǎo)及孩子們怎樣在家也可以提高英語水平?帶著這些問題，我們采訪了我校英語語言指導(dǎo)部。

06.Arts can take you everywhere

遨游藝術(shù)殿堂

BIPH artists do not stop creating arts. Recently with the guidance of Mr. James Lowe and Ms. Sheilah Grace, our students have learnt Forced Perspective, Elements of Arts, Principles of Design. Like what Albert Einstein said “Creativity is contagious, pass it on.” We hereby showcase different students’ art works, and hope more Sea Dragons start to explore the fantastic art world.

BIPH的小藝術(shù)家們從未停止過藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作。在藝術(shù)老師James Lowe 及Sheilah Grace的帶領(lǐng)下，孩子們最近學(xué)習(xí)了強(qiáng)行透視法、藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作元素、藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作原理。正如愛因斯坦所說“創(chuàng)造力有蔓延性，讓我們盡情擴(kuò)散它吧。” 借此?？?，我們?yōu)榇蠹艺故疚倚Ｐ∷囆g(shù)家們的作品，希望更多的海龍能加入探索神秘藝術(shù)世界的隊(duì)伍中。
