上海燎原双语学校三年级刚刚结束的探究单元主题是“我们如何表达自己”。本单元中心思想是“摄影是交流观点的一种手段”。

In the past G3 UOI unit how we express ourselves , our central Idea is Photography is a means of communicating perspective.

虽然因疫情缘故依然受困在家，但是三年级同学们的探究热情丝毫不减，他们充分利用现代技术完成学习和探究。利用摄影作为交流视角的一种手段，这是燎原双语三年级本学年的第四个探究单元。孩子们发掘新奇视角，在家中利用有限资源，将各种创意十足的想法变成现实。

Despite being forced to stay at home, Grade 3 are still loving to inquire at home and were able to fully make the most of our access to technology. Using photography as a means of communicating perspective, our fourth UOI of the school year, we were able to offer our own perspectives and offer a new take on creative ideas from within our own home.

本单元探究的**步，是研究光的概念，了解光对拍摄事物的重要性。学生进一步发现了在欣赏和拍摄照片时，角度、距离、光源和模式的重要性。有时我们甚至可以通过光学幻觉来理解光的技巧。

Our unit initially looked at the concept of light, and how important light is to the way we view things. This led us to discover the importance of angles, distance, light sources and patterns when viewing and taking photographs. sometimes we can even fall for tricks of the light through optical illusions.

光线的使用The use of light

光线的使用是非常重要的。孩子们在探究过程中找到了有趣的方法来利用光线，特别是利用阴影。

The use of light is very important, and we found fun ways to use light to our advantage, particularly when it came to shadows.

关于摄影的思考Thinking about this lesson

拍照需要很多前瞻性的思考，孩子们通过调整角度，发现了不同的拍摄方式。

Taking photographs involves a lot of forward thought, and we discovered different ways of taking the same point of interest by adjusting our angles.

完全掌握了技术，孩子们不仅可以练习拍照，恰到好处地利用摄影向世界表达观点和想法。本单元孩子们研究了不同的传达信息的方式，并在此过程中学习了一些有价值的技能。上传、下载、编辑、裁剪、写博客——在小小年纪就掌握这些宝贵的信息技术技能。

Having complete access to technology allowed us to study not only how to take photographs, but also how to present them to the world. We looked at different ways of getting our message across, and learned some valuable skills in the process. Uploading, downloading, editing, cropping, blogging – all valuable skills to master at such a young age.

孩子们也认识到了摄影可以讲述故事，“一幅画能表达千言万语”。

We learned that photographs tell us stories, and that a picture paints a thousand words.

孩子们还发现了照片是如何骗人和误导人的，而这种情况既适用于图片，也适用于文字。这也是训练我们批判性思维的好机会。

We also discovered how photographs can be manipulated and that context applies to the pictures we view as well as words we read. Critical thinking at its best.

另外，孩子们在老师引导下从摄影发展史、摄影的种类、摄影的光线、手机摄影和照相机摄影的区别、摄影的构图等多方面多维度展开了探究学习。

We have inquired and studied the history of photography, the types of photography, the light of photography, the difference between mobile photography and camera photography, and the composition of photography.

Through the video, we know the development history of photographic equipment, and also know a lot about photographic composition. Look, I took this by myself!

在疫情期间，我们找一些令我们最感动的照片。医护人员虽然精疲力尽，但为了保护我们的生命健康和安全，治愈更多确诊病例，挽救更多的生命，牺牲了他们的休息甚至陪伴家庭的时间。另外，我们还通过韦恩图对比了手机和照相机。

During the outbreak, we found some of the most moving photos. Although the medical staff are exhausted, in order to protect our life, health and safety, cure more confirmed cases, save more lives, and sacrifice their rest and even the time of accompanying their families. In addition, we compared cell phones with cameras through Wayne map.

拍摄不仅仅是对美景的向往，还有对心灵的释放。一张好的照片是自己心灵和现实美景互为感应的结合体。

Taking photos is not only because of the yearning for beautiful scenery, but also the release of their own spiritual happiness. A good picture is a combination of their own telepathy and real beauty.

十岁成长足迹Ten years of growth

正逢三年级小朋友十岁生日之际，所以本单元设计的总结性评估是自己动手完成自己的十岁成长足迹。在和爸爸妈妈整理照片的过程中，同学们回顾了他们的成长点滴，意义非凡。

Because it's the tenth birthday of G3, the summative assessment we designed is to complete their own ten year growth footprint. In the process of sorting out the photos with Mom and Dad, the students reviewed their growth, which was of great significance.

进入10岁，每个孩子都很兴奋并感到幸福。收集整理，用现代技术(图片编辑APP )进行编辑，制作了属于自己的电子相册，记录了过去十年中最美好的瞬间。

At the age of 10, every child is excited and happy. Collect and organize, edit with modern technology (image editing APP), and make their own electronic album, recording the best moments in the past decade.

通过梳理KWL表格，我们对摄影有了更深的了解，在电脑上制作十岁成长照有了更好的指导。

Through sorting out the KWL form, we have a deeper understanding of the photography unit. We make ten year old growth photos on the computer.

最后，为了完成本单元的探究任务，孩子们在线上进行了合作。这些合作充分运用了过去几周所学的各项学习方法和学习技能。小组成员各自居家学习，合作完成项目并不容易，但三年级的学生却欣然接受疫情带来的反思和新的机遇，共同创作出了精彩的作品。

Finish off unit, we collaborated on projects that drew together all our approaches to learning and skills of the last few weeks. It was a hard task, to work together when team members are isolated at home, but Grade 3 rose to the occasion and produced some fantastic pieces of work.

If you ever need someone to take your photograph, go and ask your friends in Grade 3!
