Making Museums Meaningful (And Fun!) 让参观博物馆变得有意义及有趣

A welcomed announcement in any school classroom is that of an upcoming field trip. Taking a day away from campus and going out into the city with classmates and friends is always exciting for students. For teachers, however, there are higher objectives in mind; foremost, field trips are a means by which to extend the classroom and further impact student learning.

在课堂上，学生们最喜欢收到的通知就是学校即将带他们进行实地考察旅行。离开校园一天，并和朋友们一起探索城市，同学们总是非常兴奋！对老师来说，老师们会有更高的目标。因为实地考察旅行意味着将课堂上的学习延展到课堂外，强化学生们的学习。

At Yew Chung International School of Beijing, part of the unique Learning Community model involves frequent collaboration among teachers. In light of this collaborative spirit, James Honey, Year 4 Co-Teacher at YCIS Beijing, shares ideas for other teachers and parents to make their next museum visit both meaningful and fun.

北京耀中国际学校独特的学习社区模式让教师之间有更频繁的协作。基于这种协作的精神，四年级James Honey老师经常和老师、家长分享如何让博物馆参观变得有趣和有意义的经验。 

Pre-Visit Projects 参观前的“预习”

Before any trip, it’s important to think first about why the trip is necessary. How does it relate to the current topic in class, and how will the trip enhance that topic? The trip must introduce something additional to the classroom learning, rather than being simply “a day away from school”.

在任何实地参观之前，首先思考我们为什么需要组织这个实地考察。这个很重要。然后，再思考这个参观如何和现在课堂上学习的课题相联系，参观又是怎样加强孩子对课题学习的？我们需要确保参观使得同学们获得课堂之外的知识，而不仅仅是离开学校出去玩一天。
