本周，Synthesis课程围绕“沟通的精准性”和“同理心的困境”展开探索。在“超级球”游戏中，学生将学习如何使用队友的姓名进行更高效的团队沟通，提高协作精度；在讨论环节，他们将深入探讨在帮助他人和维护自我需求之间的平衡。通过这些体验，学生不仅能提升团队合作能力，还能培养对个体差异的尊重和理解。
This week, Synthesis focuses on “precision in communication” and “dilemmas in empathy.” In the “Hyperball” game, students will learn how using teammates’ names leads to more effective teamwork and coordination. In the discussion session, they will explore the balance between helping others and prioritizing personal needs. These experiences will enhance their ability to collaborate while fostering respect and understanding for individual differences.

在“超级球”游戏中，快速的节奏往往让团队沟通变得模糊，比如用“大家”或“你们”这样的泛指词。然而，精准沟通是高效团队的关键，本周学生们将学习使用队友的名字，使指令更清晰、行动更协调。团队将在前30秒进行自我介绍，熟悉彼此的名字，为最终的高压比赛做好准备。精准的交流能让团队在关键时刻更具优势。
In “Hyperball,” fast-paced gameplay often leads to vague communication, with players using generic terms like “everyone” or “you guys.” However, precise communication is key to effective teamwork. This week, students will practice using teammates’ names to make instructions clearer and coordination smoother. Teams will take the first 30 seconds to introduce themselves and learn each other’s names, ensuring they’re ready for high-pressure final rounds. Precise communication gives teams a critical edge.

本周的讨论主题聚焦于“同理心”与“个体需求”之间的平衡。学生将探讨如何通过称呼队友的名字来展现对他人的尊重，同时讨论何时应该优先考虑团队需求，何时应坚守自己的立场。本周的情境围绕帮助他人展开，但每种选择都伴随着代价——学生需要思考：我们是否应该总是帮助他人？是否存在需要优先考虑自身需求的情况？这些问题没有绝对的对错，只有更深入的思考和交流。
This week’s discussion explores the balance between “empathy” and “individual needs.” Students will discuss how using teammates’ names shows respect for others while also considering when to prioritize the group’s needs versus standing by their own. This week’s scenarios all involve helping others, but each choice comes with a downside—forcing students to think critically: Should we always help others? Are there times when prioritizing ourselves is the right choice? There are no right or wrong answers, just deeper reflection and discussion.
