Inspiring TED Talks by Grade 10 students were such a pleasure to listen to! They learned to write an organized speech with techniques to engage the audience; research a topic of their interest; and speak keeping intonation, stage space, and non-verbal cues in mind. #NISinspire

Making connections between literature and our world: For Banned Books Week (Oct 1-7), Gr 10 students made connections between the novel they are currently reading, 'Ray Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451,' and the reasons certain states ban certain books in our world. #NISinquire

Perks of having a diverse staff: Guest speaker Maia, our Art and ToK teacher, left the Gr 12 ELL students enthralled with her story of growing up in Colombia and helped them understand the context of Marquez's novel 'A Chronicle of a Death Foretold.' #NISinspire #NISinclude

Claims. Evidence. Rebuttals. These budding Gr 7 English debaters have been arguing and refuting claims on topics ranging from the impact of grades on learning, the ethics of animal testing, and the impact of video games to the importance of knowing a second language! #NISinquire

These Gr 12 students are jugglers! In this stations activity to prepare for the Paper 2 IBDP English L&L exam, they have to plan an answer for 4 complex questions, refer to 4 different texts, find evidence, analyze authorial choices, and compare/contrast texts. Phew! #NISInquire

Why do folktales often show women as the victim? What if women had a voice and were the doer instead? Gr 11 students used Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's style to twist Little Red Riding Hood's narrative from being the victim to saving herself from the big bad wolf. #NISinspire

How is Ray Bradbury's 'Fahrenheit 451' connected to the Banned Books Week? Ask Gr 10 students who are reading the novel and participated in celebrating the Week by expressing their views on censorship and reading why certain books have been banned in the past. #NISinquire

A fascinating dialogue through a Socratic seminar exploring Fahrenheit 451. It is amazing the depth of dialogue that is possible when there is a safe space and clear forum in which to exchange and challenge ideas #NiSinquire@NIS_English

The shadow looming over the student and the aerial shot shows the menace of homework and the students' vulnerability, according to a group of Gr 11 English L&L students that created a photo portfolio as part of the unit on visual language. #NISinspire

It's been a great first week of school! Part of building relationships early in the school year, these secondary teachers share their tropical side while getting to know their new students 🌺#NISinspire #tropicalshirtThursday

Much like Sakura, we are grateful for the short time we get to spend with our seniors each spring. Though we miss them, it’s wonderful to #seethembloom Watch them creating pictures for visual analysis in preparation for exams #NISimpact

In DP Language and Literature, we see the culmination of years of hard work. Students run their own “Socratic seminars,” discussions driven by questions. Our students are their own teachers. #isthereanythingmoreNISthanSocrates? #NISinspire

Context, features, audience and purpose: how do we deconstruct non-literary texts to make sense of the ideas they espouse? Strategies like CFAP allow us to make sense of seemingly complex information by recognizing what it’s trying to accomplish and how it works. #NISinquire

On a rainy Wednesday morning, students grade their own papers and reflect on how they might improve. Through inquiring, exploring and working together, our students will be more than ready for our DP exams. #NISinquire

8th grade students wrote poems about their family histories and the places that make them feel at home. This one, by MS, paints a picture of Singapore’s skyline, casting the massive skyscrapers as metaphors for the country’s diverse perspectives. #NISinspire
