Synthesis Week 1/20

本周,Synthesis课程将专注于探索角色和策略的多样性。在“比邻星”游戏中,学生将通过风险评估和长远规划学习多方面的战略技巧;在讨论环节中,他们将反思自己生活中扮演的不同角色以及如何在冲突中做出选择。这些活动不仅提升学生的逻辑与团队协作能力,还将帮助他们更好地理解自我与周围世界的关系。
This week, Synthesis focuses on the diversity of roles and strategies. In the “Proxima” game, students will explore risk assessment and long-term planning to develop a wide range of strategic skills. During the discussion session, they’ll reflect on the different roles they play in life and how to make choices when those roles conflict. These activities enhance students’ logical thinking, teamwork, and self-awareness in relation to the world around them.

“比邻星”是一款结合风险、权衡和长期策略的游戏。玩家可以通过耕种获取分数、占领行星控制系统以获得奖励,或提取矿石购买卫星。本周的地图设计为玩家提供五个核心学习目标:
“Proxima” is a game of risk, trade-offs, and long-term strategy. Players can cultivate to earn points, claim planets to control systems for bonuses, or extract ore to buy satellites. This week’s maps focus on five key lessons:

  1. 耕种的重要性
    The importance of cultivation
  2. 税务卫星的作用
    The purpose of tax satellites
  3. 如何让不可居住的行星变得适宜
    How to make uninhabitable planets livable
  4. 相互生长卫星的功能
    The role of intergrowth satellites
  5. 日食的强大影响
    The power of the eclipse

学生将在游戏中通过合作和提问来测试假设并积累经验,为应对未来更高难度的挑战做好准备。目标不是赢,而是学会如何更有效地思考和计划。
Students will collaborate, ask questions, and test assumptions to gain experience and prepare for harder challenges ahead. The goal is not to win but to learn how to think and plan effectively.

讨论 | Discussion

我是谁 | Who Am I

本周的讨论课主题聚焦于学生在生活中扮演的多重角色。学生将探讨自己是听者、提问者或阅读者的不同角色,并反思在角色冲突中如何选择优先级。每个情境都让学生思考当“不同的我”发生冲突时,他们会如何决定谁更重要。这是一场关于自我意识的对话,让学生通过分析和交流更深刻地了解自己的身份与优先级。
This week’s discussion focuses on the multiple roles students play in life. They’ll explore being listeners, questioners, or readers and reflect on how to prioritize when roles come into conflict. Each scenario prompts students to consider which “you” matters most when different aspects of their identity clash. It’s a dialogue about self-awareness, helping students better understand their identity and priorities through analysis and collaboration.
