SAGE PenPal Program(SPP): 高中生国际笔友招募
如果您是中国的高中生，均可报名参与此次活动，与全世界的同龄人交流身边发生的事情以及世界各国同龄人眼中的全球商业变化，畅谈合作机会。
当然SAGE（Student for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship）所在学校的学生将有优先权。
具体请关注SAGE China Blog...
Here is a short description of what I have done with Sweden:
LEARNING PARTNERSHIP
What I would like to develop is a learning partnership between schools so we both can learn about global business. Each school would do research just like an actual business would in terms of what it would take to “import” things from the country, and “export” things to the other country. What the “import/export” essentially involves is a exchange of items. With our Swedish partnership we have exchanged t-shirts, candy for Swedish crystal and Swedish candy.
In addition, students would learn about each other’s culture and maybe develop a pen-pal type relationship by learning about each other. I would send a profile and names of my students, and you could do the same and they could communicate once every week or so.
Items to exchange- As far as the type of items to exchange, my initial work on this tells me that the weight of the items is important. The lighter the better. It would be nice if the products we trade could be determined by the students for their educational benefit (market research). That is something we can discuss further. Basically, it is an “exchange” of items, rather than an import/export arrangement.
Timeline- I would like to get started as soon as possible.
Communication- Internet/email would be the obvious choice.
We have had success with a school in Sweden for the last five years and would like to expand it to other countries.

New Comers:SFLS Brainstorming 上外附中之行
2008-2009赛季迎来SAGE China第一个新学校，她是上外附中Shanghai Foreign Language School。高一高二就是用来玩得，确实没错！总是能在第一次接触SAGE 的学生身上找到Eureka！还有自己的影子。
感谢刘仲林，他是一个敢想敢做的人，不然赛智没有机会深入到他们的需求中去。感谢殷芹老师，当然还有陈凤雅老师，提供了这样的机会，不管是给SFLS的学生还是给我和SAGE China的所有成员。希望SFLS的SAGE team抓住好的条件和机会，尽情地发挥自己的想象，并踏实的实现一步一步地目标。
我们见证您的成长！

College mentor备忘录2：头脑风暴法答案
来源： 综合 发表时间： 2007-08-06
(一)来源
头脑风暴法（brain storming），又称智力激励法、BS法。它是由美国BBDO广告公司总经理A.E奥斯本于1939年首次提出，1953年正式发表的一种激发创造性思维的方法。
(二)原则
1.禁止批评，鼓励表扬
奥斯本认为，对现有观点的批评不仅占用时间和脑力资源，还会使与会者人人自危，从而发言更加谨慎，影响新观点的诞生。因此，不要暗示某个想法不正确或者将有些消极作用，所有的想法都可能成为好的观点，或者能够启发他人产生新的想法。
相反，如果对与会者的观点不断进行表扬，则会在很大程度上激发其创造力和想象力，有利于新观点的诞生。
2.重在数量
头脑风暴法讨论的应该以更多的数量的观点为目标。如果单纯追求观点的质量，则容易拘泥于某一个有创意的观点，导致大部分的时间用于这个观点完善上，而忽视了其它观点和思路的开发。
3.观点不可雷同，强调建立新观点
头脑风暴法要求与会者不可重复别人的观点，强调建立新的观点。将他人和自己的看法进行比较、融合，比较容易产生新的思维成果。如此下去，更多的观点就容易产生，而且更多的观点带来了更多有用的观点。与会者的思维也会更加开阔，能够在挖掘自身潜力的同时，不断参照其他人的思维成果，在脑力震荡中产生新的观点。
(三)实施要点
1.不受干扰的环境及平等的会场布局实施头脑风暴法，选择整洁、安静，没有外界打扰的环境非常重要。会场也最好布置成圆形或者U形，这会使与会的每个人都有平等的感觉，且容易感觉到其他成员和自己处在同一小组中。
2.确定不同背景的与会者
与会者要做到不同层次的人相结合，专家和各背景的人相结合。专家的选择要与预测的目标相一致，而且要有一些知识渊博、经验丰富并对问题有较深刻的理解、较强的分析与推断能力的专家参加。参加讨论的不应该只是专家。不同背景、差异很大的人或许能提供不同的信息。也许具备不同身份的人往往能提供给你所需要的东西。
3.开始前的准备活动
参会者到达时，要试着使他们之间进行先进行交流。主持人需要介绍比较生疏的人。此外，还要将会议的意图阐述给与会者，但是不要对具体问题的解决方法做任何暗示。
(四)误区
1.设定发言顺序。发言顺序的设定往往会使讨论陷入模式化的误区。如果老板率先发言，可能会设定讨论的议程和范围，讨论就立刻受到了局限。大家如果轮流发言，则会导致与会者会把他当成一项任务，也不利于集体讨论的进行。
2.禁用愚蠢的东西。对于头脑风暴来讲，没有什么是愚蠢的东西。因为这些看似不可思议的东西往往能够激发与会人员的灵感和创造力。
3.远离现场举行。在远离现场的讨论可能达不到预期的效果。这是因为，现场可能会触发一些更为有益的东西。（© 世界经理人）

college mentor如何进行辅导？SAGE模型
作者：CLAIRE LIU 来源： 原创 发表时间： 2006-11-08
定义
SAGE（Surrendering Accepting Gifting Extending）模型是一种辅导过程框架，帮助培训者摆脱固定思维，形成不受权力影响的学习渐进过程，有利于培训者接收有效信息，提升培训效果。
来源
Chip R. Bell所著《Managers as Mentors ：Building Partnerships for Learning 2nd Edition》一书中提出了SAGE模型。贝尔是美国行为调研协会的资深合伙人，曾担任许多国际知名公司、机构的顾问或培训师。
应用
成功的管理应该是一种辅导行为，而成功的管理者应该承担教练的角色，如何引导和培训员工，是领导者的一项必修课。SAGE模型是一种培训的基本方法和思路，实施的意义在于，通过重点培养学习者的发现和独立能力，减少界线限制，培养责任意识。
1、 放弃（Surrendering）—铺平学习的道路。在培训过程中，教练要尽量放下自己的权威意识，让学生减轻焦虑，增强勇气
2、 接纳（Accepting）—为风险尝试创造一个安全的港湾。多鼓励和支持学生，传递认可和安全的信息，给予安全感，让学生更有尝试的勇气。
3、 馈赠（Gifting）—培训的核心内容，教练提出建议，给予反馈，指出发展的重点和方向，这是教练与学生分享自己才能的过程，能够加强辅导关系，使之健康发展。
4、 扩展（Extending）—培养学生的独立能力。扩展意味着将关系延伸，超过预期的界限，用多种方法强化学生的知识，有利于创造一个独立的、能自我辅导的学习者。

Food for thought:Choosing smart entrepreneurs
http://www.bjreview.com.cn/business/txt/2007-07/02/content_68115_2.htm
"When we have a bunch of entrepreneurs brief us about a project, the smart ones are the preferred choice," said Luh. "But I don't want to invest just in high IQ scores. IQ is the mother of wisdom, but the two vary drastically, with the latter being far more important.
"Oftentimes, a company can have very good products, industry outlook, innovative technology, market and development potential, but problems with execution. Should there be any deviation in the course of execution, the people are accountable for such failure," Luh explained. "One with inadequate capability can still grow to be capable, but nothing can be done if he is found wanting morally. That is how wisdom is different from IQ."
Luh offered an example to illustrate his idea.
In 2000, the DFJ Dragon Fund extended investment to a few companies started by graduates of Tsinghua University. They presented clear and accurate schemes in every aspect. Luh was particularly impressed by the team leader, a former student who had experience and outstanding achievement overseas, and a deep knowledge at home and abroad. Soon after the investment arrived, however, the leader started to disagree with his partners and threw himself into an internal fight for power.
"Plus his personal integrity was also in question," Luh explained.
The guy bought a car for himself and registered it under his own name with the raised funds. When asked about the issue, he showed no regret and made up excuses.
"The case cost us a lot of money and much time," said Luh. "So we now attach great importance to the personal integrity of the entrepreneur. We always want to put our investment in the hands of smart entrepreneurs, who care about corporate culture, credit standing and branding.
"Of course, most of the entrepreneurs are very young, and age is related in some ways to wisdom," said Luh. "It is impossible to expect these young entrepreneurs to have too much wisdom. But wisdom can be nurtured step by step and it will grow in practice just as Buddhism refers to the root of wisdom. In most cases, given a little help, people will come to an understanding."

我校赛智社员赴乌克兰获奖归来
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
来源:华师大二附中校电视台供稿 2007年09月12日 11:17 阅读次数:1475
赛智活动是一项非常有意义的活动，我校学生一直积极参与，把学校的賽智活动开展的有声有色。
2007年7月30日至8月7日，我校赛智（SAGE）经济社的7位社员（刘心悦、何婧婧、范诗然、邵子剑、于华辰、巢艾伦、牛谦）与指导教师陈檬前往乌克兰的敖德萨市参加了第五届“SAGE世界杯”。
赛智，最初由美国加州大学的一所分校创立，是从事学生经济创业的青少年组织，也是一个学生经营经济项目的比赛。“SAGE世界杯”是赛智组委会举办的一年一度的国际比赛，代表不同国家的赛智团队将在此大赛中齐聚一堂，通过演讲、答辩等环节角逐总冠军。今年，共有来自中国、美国、韩国、巴西、南非、俄罗斯等十个国家的代表出席本届比赛。
为期四天的活动和比赛包括欢迎晚会、文化展示、当地经济论坛峰会、正式比赛和闭幕式狂欢几大部分。在8月3日的正式比赛中，我校代表凭借以“迎接特奥，关注社会弱势群体”为主旨的与“阳光之家”——上海智障人士的活动组织的合作项目“Sunshine Project”及其积极的社会影响获得了本届的新奖项：社会杰出贡献奖的银奖及奖金。
本届“SAGE世界杯”既是一个各国文化交流展示的舞台，又是培养经济眼光、拓宽国际视野的平台。在这次非同寻常的经历中，参赛者不仅享受了一次特殊的异国之旅，同时也在备赛和比赛的过程中收获了宝贵的坚定与自信。

Is Winning Everything? -from Lili's Blog
It surely is at the World Cup. The winning team always gets attention; the winning team gets adoration; the winning team is worshiped. Winning seems not the most important thing; it's the only thing. In life, do we also want to win all the time? For some people, yes! They fight, struggle, trap, or simply do whatever it takes to win. Students burn mid-night oil in order to be at the top of the class, whether voluntarily or coercively. Employees work their ass off hoping to be promoted over co-workers. Celebrities strive to be the most popular stars by hook and by crook. Winning is sweet! But look at what we've probably lost when we won. We never enjoy small little things in life; we have less family time; friendship and cordial interpersonal relations becomes unnecessary; our health is deteriorating. We pay so much cost for winning, and we tend to lose the ability to enjoy the process of getting what we long for. Then winning becomes nothing

From the SAGE 2007 World Cup Competition
It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom.
Before we give examples of winning ideas from the SAGE 2007 World Cup Competition, let us pause and reflect on Gandhi’s words.
There is not one, but two, lessons in those words.
First, we could and should learn from others, so reading about what winning SAGE teams have done is good.
Second, what winning SAGE teams have done is not necessarily going to help them win this year. Circumstances change and the best things of yesterday might well not be the best things for today. Question which you and your teammates should always ask is, “Can this activity be done better?” If your team answers “yes”, then it should not hesitate to do the activity better and share your improvement in SAGE competition this year.
For example, last year a SAGE team might have had an activity in which team members did much traveling by car. But now, with climate change looming like a fire-breathing dragon, traveling around by car is not a good idea. A SAGE team has to think whether the activity could be done using buses, bicycles, cellular telephones, the Internet or even walking shoes.
The following examples are excerpted from the annual reports submitted by SAGE teams at the 2007 World Cup Competition.
From the Nigerian SAGE Team
“Clean the World.” This project is the response to the challenges of keeping our school community clean and stopping air pollution arising from indiscriminate burning of wastes. Through this initiative we provided giant waste paper baskets for all classrooms in our school. Our SAGE team also constructed a refuse dumpsite for the dumping of refuse generated by our school community.
“Trees 4 Life.” The main activities of our Trees 4 Life campaign include planting trees by our SAGE team, carrying out environmental awareness campaign through the design of handbills containing messages like “Plant and Replant,” “Plant Indigenous Species 4 Life”, and carrying out tree-planting pledge action. Our tree-planting pledging target of 100,000 trees by the end of 2007 has been met with the promise of 60,000 trees from the local government councils and 40,000 trees from churches, mosques, private sector and rural communities across Nigeria.
“The World Is Ours.” Through this project we are creating a network of sister schools across the world and creating markets for our goods. Our team has exchanged correspondences with our 30 high schools and youth business organizations across the world. We are happy to inform you that our Tender Touch products and musical CDs are now available in Ghanaian and United Kingdom markets.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From the Chinese SAGE Team
“Environmental Protection.” First, we gave our cooperation to Roots & Shoots, a school environmental group. We campaigned for a series of “green” environmental projects:
to recycle waste paper,to recycle dead batteries,to recycle yellow pages.
And we handled a flea market every term, including this term. We collected and sold students’ unneeded possessions and profited from the margin price.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From One Russian SAGE Team
“Do Become a Journalist.” Aims: vocational guidance for the talented youth in the sphere of journalism, to perfect the editing of the school newspaper Boomerang. Our school has no common information center. Students and their parents would like to know school news and get detailed information. According to a student opinion poll, 96% of students are interested in a school newspaper.
Making the business plan: selection of the staff, searching for providers, developing the technology of production, the cost estimation of the project, the definition of capital investments, the calculation of cost price, setting the price.
Production activity: our school paper issued monthly in four pages, a circulation of about 100 copies; an issue is prepared by journalists, an editor, a proofreader, a financial manager, an issuing manager, and distributors.
Consider how your team might improve on the above.
From the American SAGE Team
“Social Entrepreneurship.” Bracelets. We continued to sell the imported Peruvian-style bracelets, a plan originated by IDEA, to have the townspeople of Cuchuma, Peru, make authentic woven bracelets. This has helped to create a thriving business within the town and enabled the townspeople to support themselves. We worked with the Peruvian government, Heifer International, and DeSales University SIFE to create and sustain the business for a second year.
Visiting Schools. We visited a local elementary school for the second year to create awareness about Team IDEA, Peru and Nicaragua. We arranged a time to meet with 4th graders and created a lesson plan as well as an assessment to test their new knowledge. We taught the students about the languages, cultures, and governments of Peru and Nicaragua, as well as about the Heifer Foundation.
“Environmental Stewards.” Greenhouses. With the help of Heifer and DeSales, we helped to provide greenhouses to families in the town of Cuchuma, Peru. The greenhouses grew food for many families by using the land and limiting the harmful gases released into the air.
Garden. We are creating a garden outside Hogar el Resposo in Nicaragua. Money raised from Powder Puff was donated to help the children create a garden to benefit the town. Other money was donated to help the orphanage itself.

From the Philippines SAGE Team
“Growth is evolution towards perfection.” TARP, Inc., has consistently evolved, maturing to become a leader of the Philippines bag industry. Our elemental focus on bringing a rewarding business opportunity for locals, innovative products, and acting as an uplifting force for good culture to more people throughout the Philippines has nurtured this growth. Looking forward, we will continue to enlarge our global footprint, while introducing new products to capitalize on our strengths and expand our capabilities and our horizons.
“2007 Milestones.” We believe our social consciousness, translated into providing employment to the unemployed, has become an investment in human capital. This focus on long-term success on human resources has played a pivotal role in this official recognition. We expect that our labor partners would help lead the company in renewed revenue growth for the entirety of the year in 2008.
“Training the Common Folk in Entrepreneurship.” Our company values underscore our corporate culture and represent one of the reasons that TARP, Inc., is able to attract highly motivated craftsmen devoted to their craft. Consistent with this Transforming Difference orientation, our Entrepreneurship for Everyone Initiative has been a significant success. In just three months of operation, Entrepreneurship for Everyone has provided more than 40 new jobs to different people by broadening the horizons and braving the impossible.

It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. Mahatma Gandhi (Bookmark and often refer to http://www.quoteopia.com/)
Before we give examples of winning ideas from the SAGE 2007 World Cup Competition, let us pause and reflect on Gandhi’s words.
There is not one, but two, lessons in those words.
First, we could and should learn from others, so reading about what winning SAGE teams have done is good.
Second, what winning SAGE teams have done is not necessarily going to help them win this year. Circumstances change and the best things of yesterday might well not be the best things for today. Question which you and your teammates should always ask is, “Can this activity be done better?” If your team answers “yes”, then it should not hesitate to do the activity better and share your improvement in SAGE competition this year.
For example, last year a SAGE team might have had an activity in which team members did much traveling by car. But now, with climate change looming like a fire-breathing dragon, traveling around by car is not a good idea. A SAGE team has to think whether the activity could be done using buses, bicycles, cellular telephones, the Internet or even walking shoes.
The following examples are excerpted from the annual reports submitted by SAGE teams at the 2007 World Cup Competition.
From the Nigerian SAGE Team
“Clean the World.” This project is the response to the challenges of keeping our school community clean and stopping air pollution arising from indiscriminate burning of wastes. Through this initiative we provided giant waste paper baskets for all classrooms in our school. Our SAGE team also constructed a refuse dumpsite for the dumping of refuse generated by our school community.
“Trees 4 Life.” The main activities of our Trees 4 Life campaign include planting trees by our SAGE team, carrying out environmental awareness campaign through the design of handbills containing messages like “Plant and Replant,” “Plant Indigenous Species 4 Life”, and carrying out tree-planting pledge action. Our tree-planting pledging target of 100,000 trees by the end of 2007 has been met with the promise of 60,000 trees from the local government councils and 40,000 trees from churches, mosques, private sector and rural communities across Nigeria.
“The World Is Ours.” Through this project we are creating a network of sister schools across the world and creating markets for our goods. Our team has exchanged correspondences with our 30 high schools and youth business organizations across the world. We are happy to inform you that our Tender Touch products and musical CDs are now available in Ghanaian and United Kingdom markets.

“Environmental Protection.” First, we gave our cooperation to Roots & Shoots, a school environmental group. We campaigned for a series of “green” environmental projects:
to recycle waste paper,to recycle dead batteries,to recycle yellow pages.
And we handled a flea market every term, including this term. We collected and sold students’ unneeded possessions and profited from the margin price.

From One Russian SAGE Team
“Do Become a Journalist.” Aims: vocational guidance for the talented youth in the sphere of journalism, to perfect the editing of the school newspaper Boomerang. Our school has no common information center. Students and their parents would like to know school news and get detailed information. According to a student opinion poll, 96% of students are interested in a school newspaper.
Making the business plan: selection of the staff, searching for providers, developing the technology of production, the cost estimation of the project, the definition of capital investments, the calculation of cost price, setting the price.
Production activity: our school paper issued monthly in four pages, a circulation of about 100 copies; an issue is prepared by journalists, an editor, a proofreader, a financial manager, an issuing manager, and distributors.

为什么要参与赛智？
一．中学：
实际意义上实施素质教育，培养学生学习能力、实践能力、创新能力等方面21世纪有竞争力人才的必备素质。社区实践将与学校课堂教育紧密结合，与之相辅相成，起到改进学校传统教育模式的作用。
高中生们在老师和大学生辅导员的指导下，策划、实施、评估创新的商业类、社区性项目，并在每年4-5月进行比赛，评比出最佳团队，代表国家参加世界比赛。从具体方面来讲，中学和中学生可以从以下方面受益：

2. Oakland Tech High School and PFLS SAGE Team (Pudong foreign language school)
- 全面与大学、社区、企业互动
- 参加全国赛智选拔赛
- 有机会参与国际大赛、促进国际文化、学术交流
二．大学：
大学生将在以启发梦想的创业教育为责任的赛智中得到能力的锻炼和社会责任心的培养。同时，在帮助高中生实现项目评定的过程中与我们的BAB（Business Advisory Board 商业资询委员）交流互动，在实践中了解各领域（风险投资、外贸、物流管理中的‘Problem Solving 和 Know-how）。同时教会大学生在创业过程中需要做有社会责任感的决策,为未来培养更多的CSR（Corperate Social Responsibility）
大学作为带动中学进行创业教育，起到参与、组织、协调的作用。大学生们通过专业知识学习具有良好的知识背景，在团队建设和运营上有较丰富的经验，是担当传播创新知识和理念的绝佳人选。特别是学习商业、经济、管理、语言、表演、计算机的大学生对赛智团队的帮助非常明显。
大学生参与赛智可以从以下方面获益：
- 锻炼大学生实践能力
- 促进与各界精英的交流
- 实现大学生社会价值
- 作为大学社团的可持续性实践项目
- 提高大学在全国高中生中的知名度、扩大生源提高各界对大学的评价
- 角逐年度“赛智最佳大学生辅导员”奖
三．企业和机构：
企业是赛智项目中不可或缺的组成部分。他们有些直接参与到高中团队的指导工作中，有些参与主办机构举办的互动讨论，有些则作为评委参与到全国选拔赛获国际比赛中。企业更是在经济上和精神上给予赛智这个非营利性项目极大的支持，以使中学团队能完成创新项目并且参与全国选拔赛，以及赴海外参加国际赛智大赛。企业参与赛智可以从以下各方面获益：
- 参与帮助青少年成长，提高企业公众形象
- 提高企业知名度（在全国选拔赛/国际比赛中推广企业）
- 赴全球赛参加主办方的商业讨论，与国外企业建立良好关系
- 直接参与培养商界未来优秀人才（成为学生团队的顾问）
- 成为SAGE Judge/Sponsor/Ambassador/Consultant
什么是赛智?
赛智为国际非营利性组织SAGE（Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship）的中文译名。取其 比竞智慧之意。
赛智为高中生、大学生、社会各界成功人士提供交流互动的平台，通过在创业教育和社区服务的合作中，共同为创造更美好的社会而做出贡献。该项目是面向高中生的创新教育的实践项目，由美国加州州立大学发起，现在已经发展为全球具有广泛参与性的项目。
Our Mission：高中生通过创业学习和社区服务，成为有商业实践意识、有社会责任感、主人翁精神和环保意识的人才。
赛智鼓励高中生走出课堂、走进社区，寻找问题、分析问题、解决问题，为改善社区贡献自己的力量。赛智为高中生展示才能创造了契机，搭建了舞台，学生们通过学习、实践、展示，成为有综合素质的人才。赛智有了高中生、大学生或社会各界的参与，发展更迅速更壮大。而每个赛智参与者，无论是高中生、大学生或社会各界（无论是政府、企业或者非营利组织）的精英也能通过亲身参与而获益。
随着中国经济的发展，我们希望更多的青少年能够担负起未来建设的重任。
SAGE China Host:
SAGE China为中国地区比赛的主办方，我们也真诚地希望有更多的志同道合者一起来推进中国青少年的发展。如您希望参加比赛或支持观摩请联系我。
考虑到学期的周期，赛智中国比赛一般在4-5月举行，决出代表中国的参赛队参加在全球巡回SAGE World Cup，如2008年SAGE China 决赛于5月31日在复旦大学正大发展中心举行。今年的World Cup 在尼日利亚首都阿布贾举行。

高中如何开展赛智(SAGE)活动？
结合您的问题和我自身的经验（由于我本身也曾经参加SAGE比赛），仅供参考：
1． 请学校负责学生活动的老师推选有兴趣有能力的同学组成SAGE团队。（团队队长1人，骨干力量5-6人，队员数量根据所进行的项目灵活安排。）在此过程中，可以采取由老师推荐学生，或学生自己报名，两种方式相结合。
2． 给团队配置好必须的硬软件资源。 硬件资源指照相机、摄像机、电脑等（活动过程需要记录下来，以便在比赛陈述过程中，用作声像资料，团队中应有同学负责这项工作）。
软件资源指的是具有专业知识的指导者，可以是大学生、老师或社会人士，给团队的活动提供引导和指导。（可以利用所能取得的任何有用的社会资源鼓励学生带着相关的问题去找专业人士）
3． 集体学习研究SAGE的宗旨和项目标准以及以往各个国家比赛中的项目。（这项工作可以在指导老师或大学生辅导员的指导下进行。）
4． 根据所了解的SAGE信息，让队员策划项目方案。先可以采取"大脑风暴"的方式想出尽可能多的方案。（可以分组进行，每个小组给出一个项目方案，给定时间，如两天，之后让他们集中起来，汇报方案。）团队可以初步筛选出可行的好方案，然后请指导者(可以是大学生辅导员或咨询委员会)帮助确定要实施的项目。
5． 开始实施项目，并定期做小结和调整（如每两个星期一次）。
6． 在比赛前三周左右时间，总结项目，挑选项目并整理资料（书面、声像）。总结能力强、英语写作好的同学负责写陈述稿，有电脑特长的同学负责做PPT演示幻灯片。最终完成一个15分钟的英语口头陈述和4页A4大小的书面报告。
7． 临近比赛，后期准备工作（服装、书面报告、道具等），并邀请指导者观摩彩排，提出建议。
注意：SAGE是以学生为主体、老师或指导者为辅助的以培养学生学习能力、创新能力和实践能力的活动。在此过程中值得向学生强调的是在过程中收获的意识和社会责任感。
同时也可以采取阶段性的目标激励的方法。
在此，诚邀您参加观摩今年的中国赛区决赛。时间为每年的4-5月，如有任何疑问，欢迎您提出！
