Editor's note: This summer, many primary and secondary school students and parents have found that the homework assigned by the school has changed greatly: there are fewer written homework, more physical exercise, labor practice and other types of homework; there are fewer mechanical homework, more practical and inquiry-based homework. "Homework is getting more and more interesting" has become a personal feeling for many students.
Behind the characteristic summer vacation homework, it condenses the wisdom and painstaking efforts of teachers in homework design, and reflects the concept of educating people for the comprehensive development of morality, intellectuality, physical fitness and labor. In this issue of the weekly, we select some of the school's special summer vacation homework to feel the growth of students in the homework.
More "heart-wrenching" homework
Interview with outstanding Communist Party members around you
August 15
This summer, the school assigned a special homework: interviewing the outstanding Communist Party members around them. At 9 o'clock this morning, I came to the old man's house of Zheng Lifang, who is the party member I want to interview.
Zheng Lifang, who was the instructor of the first women's drilling team in the Liaohe Oilfield, told me the story of that year. She and her team members worked three shifts a day, immersed in hard work and hard work, and completed the drilling of more than 80,000 meters.
I asked the elderly Zheng Lifang how to persevere in the face of difficulties. She said: "Giving up my small family and taking care of everyone, suffering first, pleasure later, I am a Communist Party member, I should do this." "I was deeply moved to hear such an answer.
Although the interview was over, my mood could not be calmed for a long time. As a descendant of the oil people, I want to carry forward the red tradition, continue the spiritual bloodline, and strive to grow into the pillar of the country.
Beijing 101 Middle School Junior 14 Class Qi Zihang
This summer, the students of Beijing 101 Middle School have to complete several "red assignments": write a letter to the revolutionary martyrs and imagine a dialogue with them; carry out a "red" volunteer service, such as participating in the "Red Voice" volunteer interpretation team; watch film and television works such as "The Age of Awakening", or read recommended books such as "On Protracted War"...
"The school's student development center fully mobilized the superior resources of all grade groups and subject groups, and the teachers designed a wealth of 'red assignments' for students after discussing the learning situation." Guo Yuanli, director of the Student Office of Beijing 101 Middle School, introduced that after the opening of the school, the school will also conduct a comprehensive review of homework and organize the exhibition and broadcast of excellent homework.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. How to use the way that children like to hear, so that ideological and political education into the mind? How to design a variety of summer vacation assignments, guide students to inherit and carry forward the party's fine traditions, and draw wisdom and strength from the history of the party? Many schools have made explorations.
Jiangsu Nanjing Kerui Primary School calls on students to punch in the local red landmarks of Nanjing, light up the red venues, walk into a period of history, and listen to a red story; the lower corner primary school in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, arranges the "painting patriotism" homework, allowing students to use the brush to show the changes around them and feel the development of the country; Chongqing Luneng Bashu Middle School requires students to formulate a "red journey" plan to deepen their understanding of party history in the process of combing the revolutionary holy land...
"Using the holidays to complete the 'red homework' and let students receive education and increase their talents in the practical activities of 'learning the history of the party, knowing the party's conditions, feeling the gratitude of the party, and following the party' requires the careful arrangement of the school, the coordination of parents, and the joint participation of the whole society." Only by advancing with the times and constantly enhancing the affinity and pertinence of ideological and political education can we stir up the positive energy of youth and let the red gene be passed on from generation to generation. Guo Yuanli said.
More "healthy" work
Exercise for an hour a day
August 5
I've been using the School Sports Cloud Classroom Platform for over 400 days. During the summer vacation, I can practice jump rope, squat, open and close jump, bobby jump, etc. on the platform to complete sports assignments. The platform will also count and score according to my action images, and today I practiced jump rope, jumping 175 times a minute!
My favorite sport is basketball, but the shooting percentage is not high. The basketball teacher reminded me that my arm strength was too weak and I needed to strengthen my arm strength. I found on the Sports Cloud Classroom Platform that kneeling push-ups can exercise arm strength, and I have strengthened this practice in particular. I used to do 3 sets a day, which increased to 10 sets during the summer vacation. Recently, when I was playing basketball with my dad, I found that my shooting percentage has improved tremendously! When school starts, I'll have to compete with the basketball team's friends.
Sun Qingyu, a second grade class of Zizhu Primary School affiliated to East China Normal University
Like Sun Qingyu, "exercising for one hour a day" is the summer vacation sports homework of all students of Zizhu Primary School affiliated to East China Normal University. Principal Zhang Jilei introduced that the school's intelligent platform has opened up a sports cloud classroom, which can count according to students' moving images, and will also help students to do their actions through voice prompts. "Students can view their own exercise data, challenge the top ranked students, and everyone's enthusiasm for conscious exercise and active practice is stimulated." Zhang Jilei said.
The Ministry of Education and 15 other departments issued this year the "Bright Action Work Plan for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents (2021-2025)" proposes that the physical education homework system for students in winter and summer vacations should be fully implemented. According to the requirements, this summer, sports homework has become the "standard" of schools.
"Sports homework is not just physical exercise, we must pay attention to the educational value of sports." In the view of Sun Weihua, a senior teacher at the Chaoyang District Education Science Research Institute in Beijing, making sports homework practical requires careful homework design. "Good sports work should make students want to play sports, love sports, and help students persevere and develop hobbies and habits."
Paying attention to local conditions, the physical education teacher of the Special Division Affiliated Primary School in Changle County, Shandong Province, designed sports activities that can be completed at home, such as practicing single-legged throwing objects with sandbags, practicing two-point running with props such as mineral water bottles, etc.; to enhance parent-child interaction, the Fifth Primary School in Miyun District, Beijing launched the "I exercise with parents in the summer" photo contest and the "My Physical Exercise Healthy Habits" short video collection to guide students and parents to participate in physical exercise together...
"Summer can guide students to watch sports competitions, master the rules of 1-2 sports competitions, try sports commentary, etc., which helps to cultivate students' interest in sports." Sun Weihua suggested.
More "fiery" homework
Understand that labor is the most glorious
August 10
Today, I came to the goji berry planting base near my home to complete the summer labor homework.
In the planting base, there are busy figures of pickers everywhere. I picked up a small sprig and looked at it carefully, and the bright red goji berries were delicate. But when I wanted to pick it, my hand retracted like an electric shock. On closer inspection, it was revealed that the goji berries were surrounded by small spines. It turns out that goji berry picking is not as simple as I thought!
I learned to be next to my aunt, holding a small bucket in one hand and picking up a bunch of goji berries with the other hand, shaking them gently, shaking the scattered goji berries into the bucket. But the remaining goji berries are not so easy to pick, although I am careful, I still encounter thorns from time to time. It didn't take long for me to sweat. I experienced the hardships of the peasants, felt the hard-won life now, and understood that labor is the most glorious.

"Summer is a good time to carry out labor education, we hope that through infiltration, integrated labor homework, exercise the ability of students to work, so that labor awareness rooted in children's hearts." Zhang Yuying, principal of Hongsibao Town Center Primary School, said that after the opening of the school, teachers will also select "labor models" based on students' labor points.
At present, the focus of labor education is to organize students to participate in daily life labor, production labor and service labor in a purposeful and planned way in addition to the systematic study of cultural knowledge, so that students can practice with their hands, sweat their strength, receive exercises, temper their will, and cultivate students' correct labor values and good labor quality.
"Labor assignments should reflect an educational design." Qu Xia, deputy dean of the School of Labor Education of the China Institute of Labor Relations, said: "For example, give play to the subjectivity of students and let students design their own labor tasks; innovate the form of homework, pay attention to the arrangement of hands and brains, creative and social value of homework; innovate the form of assessment, through the exhibition of labor results, so that students are more motivated." ”
During the summer vacation, the Tenth Senior High School of Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone in Liaoning Province organized students to learn pottery, simulated car driving and other courses, and stimulated students' enthusiasm through explanations, project practice, reflection and exchange, role model motivation, etc. The Jugezhuang Town Center Primary School in Miyun District, Beijing, relied on the school's grape paradise to hold a grape picking festival, so that students can feel the value of labor in production and labor.
Some schools also carry out service labor education, and students strengthen their sense of social responsibility in public welfare labor and volunteer service. In late July, the members of the "Little Dingdong" volunteer service team of Puyang Experimental Primary School in Henan Province came to the Municipal Red Cross Society to participate in volunteer activities, and Kong Weiyuan, a sixth class in the fourth grade, helped sort out the donated materials with his parents and classmates, and she said seriously: "This summer, I have grown up!"
