基金，匯率，利潤，通脹，外貿(mào)，股票，財政……對于初學(xué)者而言，經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)似乎是一門“高大上”的學(xué)科：晦澀難懂的定義讓人難以捉摸，紛繁復(fù)雜的理論讓人抓耳撓腮。

Funds, exchange rates, profits, inflation, foreign trade, stocks, financial policies ... For beginners, economics seems to be a difficult discipline: there are too many obscure definitions and complicated theories.

但是，在蘇城外國語學(xué)校，這一切都將被化繁為簡！在國際高中部的經(jīng)濟(jì)課堂上，老師帶領(lǐng)著學(xué)生，將生活中的點點滴滴與經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)理論緊密相連，把所學(xué)內(nèi)容搭建成系統(tǒng)的知識體系。

However, in SCFLS, everything is much easier and closely related to life! In an economics class in Senior High School, the teacher leads the students to link everything in life with economics theories, and build a coherent knowledge structure.

在本節(jié)課開始之前，學(xué)生就已學(xué)習(xí)了宏觀和微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、基本經(jīng)濟(jì)體制、供求關(guān)系與價格變化，以及價格彈性等知識。因此，本堂課的教學(xué)目標(biāo)是：

1. 結(jié)合生活中的事件，運(yùn)用所學(xué)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)理論分析其對市場造成的影響，并搭建知識框架；

2. 探索市場經(jīng)濟(jì)體制中的競爭與激勵的重要性。

Before this class, students have learnt what macroeconomics and microeconomics cover, basic economic systems, demand and supply, and price elasticity. Therefore, the objectives of this class are:

1. To apply economics theories in analyzing how events in life affect the corresponding markets, and to build a knowledge structure accordingly; 

2. To explore the importance of competition and incentive in a market economic system.

教師對學(xué)生進(jìn)行異質(zhì)分組，每組學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)水平由高至低均勻分配，并分別拿到一張最近發(fā)生的新聞圖片。針對該圖片，學(xué)生需展開小組討論，在規(guī)定時間內(nèi)，結(jié)合已有知識，思考一個充滿開放性的問題。

Students on different levels are grouped together, and a news picture is allocated to each group. Students need to discuss on their assigned pictures, and think about an open-ended question within a limited period of time.

在討論過程中，教師全程跟蹤、記錄學(xué)生的思路，并適時引導(dǎo)，幫助他們逐步構(gòu)建第二單元整章的知識體系，將零散的知識以思維導(dǎo)圖的形式串聯(lián)起來，讓學(xué)生認(rèn)識到經(jīng)濟(jì)理論的內(nèi)在關(guān)系。

During their discussion, the teacher tracks and records students’ thoughts, and guides them to connect the dots in unit 2 with a mind map, enabling them to realize the interrelationship between economics theories.

為鼓勵學(xué)生進(jìn)行多角度、批判性思考，并考察課堂關(guān)注度，小組展示完畢后，不同組之間即可進(jìn)行互評，學(xué)生對他組觀點提出自己的建議和想法。

to encourage students to think from various perspectives and critically, and to test their attention when other groups are giving presentations, students from different groups give feedback to each other, offering their advice and ideas.
