丰富多元的国际课程为实现学生的个性化发展提供了选择的可能和坚实的基础，也是人朝分国际课程中心的一大亮点，同时，如何确保跑班体制下有序的良性运转状态也是各个学院日常管理工作的重点。祁连学院的老师和学生们通过晨会开展形式多样的活动，不仅有助于开拓视野、多元思维方式，更有益于交流情感、增强班级成员的集体归属感，可谓意义非凡。以下是来自祁连学院开展的系列主题晨会活动。
The variety of international curriculums offers students the opportunities and abilities of self-achievement. It’s also one of the most eye-catching characteristics of the international education system at RDFZ ALC. It is always vital to make sure that the daily order is maintained under the vertical system. In Qilian house, homeroom teachers and students organize several meaningful activities at morning registrations to not only broaden students’ horizon, but also enhance communication with each other and create closer friendship. Here is the introduction of the activities organized by Qilian House.
主题一：早间新闻
Activity One: Morning News.
祁连学院的同学们都心系天下大事与时事新闻，他们在班主任的积极引导和班干部的有效组织下，从新高一入学至今，坚持利用晨读时间分享时事新闻。
Students in Qilian House pay much attention to global news and current affairs. With positive guide of homeroom teachers and effective organization of student leaders, they have successfully held many Morning News sessions in this school year.
活动展开方式是一位同学针对近期发生的新闻事件，制作成PPT，在晨读时与大家分享，随后全班同学展开讨论，各抒己见。自新高一入学以来，早间新闻分享已经包含了：朴槿惠闺蜜干政事件、美国总统大选、伊万卡特朗普、古巴领导人Fidel Castro、澳洲高中生自制炸弹事件、恐怖怪谈、夏校经历、动物园破产事件、美国UA航空丑闻等。
Usually, a student makes a presentation on the news or influential affairs happened recently, and then expresses his or her own opinion about it with the class. Later, all of class members will discuss the news together. Till now, students have shared a large number of news events including The president election in America, the scandal of Park Geun-hye,Ivanka Trump and so on.
这样的活动不仅锻炼了同学们勇于展示自己的胆量，也提升了同学们的演讲水平与表达能力，更培养了同学们总结归纳信息与综合分析问题的能力，这些能力对于同学们将来的学习生活乃至个体综合素质的提高都大有助益。

学术分享，包括分享展示和交流讨论两个环节。针对同学们近期学习、生活方面的困惑，由一位同学分享如何快速适应国际高中生活、分享交流各科学习经验、分享申请大学经验，随后其他同学提出问题，共同交流。除此之外，还组织同学们以传阅形式展示优秀笔记，相互借鉴相互学习。
This activity includes 2 parts: presentation and communication. It mainly solves the problems about students’ recent learning and daily life. Every time one student will stand in the front of the classroom and share his or her own experiences and ideas about college application, option study and useful learning approaches. The rest of the class always take notes diligently during the presentation.
通过分享，高一的同学对于申请和大学生活有了较为具体和深入的认识：应该怎样选校？大学专业和高中选课之间有着怎样的联系？综合大学和文理学院之间的差异究竟有多大？专业排名和综合排名，究竟哪一个更加具有说服力？这些原本认识模糊的问题都在分享中得以解答。
From sharing, senior 1 students can know more about college application: How do they choose the best fit? What is the relationship between high school courses and college majors?
