The "Reading, Appreciating, and Reflecting" series, as a research-based curriculum, introduces literary genres like "micro-fiction, poetry, prose, essays, and stories" into secondary school Chinese teaching. It enables students to learn how to conduct research around a topic and reflect their findings in writing. Thus, it has become a comprehensive activity that integrates reading, appreciation, research, and writing, benefiting students' literary appreciation and analytical skills, as well as their overall Chinese literacy.
Reading requires savoring and reflection, but it is even more inseparable from readers connecting with their own experiences. To read with experience, one's appreciation deepens, and one's insights become clearer. All concepts are abstract, but experience makes them concrete and vivid. The "Experience" series respects students' reading experiences and advocates personalized reading. The selected articles are both enlightening and enjoyable.
