S.1 Compo Research on Famous People
S.1 students have started their first research on famous people in the library. They gather important and interesting facts about the person they are going to write about in their composition from books as well as electronic resources like Worldbook Online Encyclopedia. In this exercise, not only can they practise the research skills they learn in the library program, they are also able to enrich the content of their English Composition writing.

中文閱書報告
《執著‧放下》的作者是廖東梅和嚴以敬（阿虫）。這書講述廖東梅的經歷。廖東梅是一位弱能畫家，出世時因大腦缺氧而導至腦痙攣，但她心裏仍充滿著希望、感恩和動力。這本書教我們要珍惜生命，不要怕面前的困難，要勇於嘗試，這樣成功就在眼前。(Cherry Lui, 4A 20)
《生命中該有的》是一本人物專訪的書, 裡面記載著十五位來自不同界別名人的生平、成功與失敗的故事和與作者張寶華的對話。這書是一本對每個年青人影響十分重要的書, 因為每位名人都會講一些對現代年青人的啟示, 從而啟發我們。我亦從這本書學懂了很多做人的道理。(Iris Poon, 4A 23)

S.1-3 Reading Circles
"Literature circles are a topic of interest to various literacy educators, and their use has been discussed in a variety of academic journals, conference papers, and workshops. Teachers at all grade levels utilize literature circles as a vehicle through which students learn to: think critically about literature, express their ideas in oral and written forms, and better enjoy their literacy experiences.
"
Our Reading Circles are a modified version of the Literature Circles. Small groups of students meet regularly to discuss about the books they are reading. Parents help as leaders/facilitators. Group meetings aim to be open, so natural conversations about books, personal connections, digressions, and open-ended questions are welcome. Students take responsibility in their reading and construct meaning together in the group discussion.
