（UOI）Unit of Inquiry- How we express ourselves
UOI探究主题 – 我们如何表达⾃⼰
Dear parents, in the following inquiry classes, students will learn about the images that exist around them. Students
will get access to different types of images which contain many different elements and have various functions.
Through this unit, we hope students can understand “image” is a way to express themselves and can deliver
information. The same image can be read by different perspectives. 亲爱的家⻓们，在接下来的探究中，学⽣
将围绕超学科主题“我们如何表达⾃⼰”展开探究，主要的话题是图像。学⽣们将接触到各种各样的
图像，包含不同的元素，有着不同的功能，并得到不同的反馈。通过本单元的学习，我们希望学⽣
能够理解图像是⼀种表达⽅式，可以帮助我们传递思想和信息，同⼀图像允许不同的解读和观点，
更好的⽀持学⽣发现和表达观点、情感、⽂化，反思、扩展、享受我们创造⼒的⽅式，提升我们的
审美鉴赏。
