第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND — Students' involvement (参与) is a goal in schools everywhere. A teacher in the Washington suburbs has found a way to engage and motivate students — by bringing rhythm and fun to mathematics. The approach works well especially for students who speak English as a second language.
Making math fun
The voice heard in the video belongs to mathematics teacher Jake Scott. Most of the performers are his students. “I use rap because it is something that appeals to students, and also because music aids memory,” explains Scott.
Scott started using rap videos three years ago. So far he has produced nine, including Triangle Experts and Quadratic Formulatic, which have been viewed tens of thousands of times. “It is fun and the whole process is something that students appreciate,” says Scott.
More than a teacher
Blair High School principal Renay Johnson is a big supporter. She even appears in Scott's latest video, Undefined Expressions.
“Mr Scott is very motivating and engaging for students,” notes Johnson. “He enjoys what he does. As you know, he engages students with mathematics through music. But he is also our wrestling coach. He also sponsors the National Honor Society. And he is also a director of an after-school sports academy. I am lucky to have him here as a teacher.”
Scott was recognized as an outstanding educator last year by the Montgomery County Council. He was also honored the same year by an African-American civil rights organization.
Jake Scott says he wants mathematics to be something that students look forward to learning. And he says the results will help them on a path to colleges and careers.
