Middle School Chinese Department: Diverse Books Feed Minds—Students’ Book Report Display

September 14, 2020

Now that school has successfully opened in such a beautiful season, the Best Book Report exhibition has attracted special attention in the SHSID middle school section. Organized by the Middle School Chinese Department, this exhibition has essentially allowed every middle-schooler to first enjoy reading, to then become inspired, and finally to design their book reports in creative ways.

In total, more than seventy outstanding book report designs were displayed in this exhibition. If you stop by and take a close look at these student efforts, you will be amazed at how well students interpreted many literary works and how fantastic their ideas were. For example, you may enjoy the woods and blossoms depicted in the report on The Secret Garden. Also, you won’t likely want to miss the chance to appreciate the valuable sibling relationships demonstrated in the Bronze and Sunflower report. You can even see student appreciation for the various heroic figures in Water Margin and the harsh realities of life in Tales of Hulan River and Memories of Peking. If you continue to look further at these reports, you will be introduced to the extraordinary detective skills on display in Holmes, a series of adventures for innocence and love in The Little Prince, and many other students works about various books.

The Best Book Report exhibition was particularly aimed at improving students’ comprehension of language, celebrating many diverse values, and cultivating students’ abilities as humanistic thinkers.

As teachers of the Middle School Chinese Department, our mission is to ensure that students continue to read more books during this semester. We will, as always, encourage them to share their opinions and to seize inspiration while they explore the beauty of the Chinese language and literature.
