September 20, 2020美國的獨立戰爭也有花木蘭？！沙場上的紅玫瑰—Deborah Sampson | 神奇樹屋Magic Tree House #22：Revolutionary War on Wednesday 遇見華盛頓
這一集是美國獨立戰爭系列的第二集，在這集我們要分享在戰爭中的傳奇故事，與獨立戰爭前後，世界帶給美國的影響，以及美國如何影響今後的世界⋯

因為大英帝國的不合理殖民政策，引發美國想脫離英國統治，而展開了長達八年的美國獨立戰爭，但這場戰爭中，民軍不但士氣低靡、資金也不足，可以說是困難重重⋯ 不過回到獨立戰爭的戰場上，竟然也有美國版的花木蘭故事，但別於電影《花木蘭》的代父從軍，Deborah Samspon是為了擺脫奴工的宿命，為自己縫製一套軍服，偽裝成男性，開啟她傳奇的軍旅生涯，而是什麼原因，讓”他”的身分被揭發了呢？最後，長達八年的美國獨立戰爭，又為今天的美國帶來了什麼呢？

本集李老師與Sophie的Q&A:
Sophie, let’s have a more detailed discussion about this Magic Tree House book. Sure.
Which special writing do Jack and Annie need to find during this adventure? They need to find something to send.
What’s the weather like when they get to colonial America? It’s snowy and very cold.
What was the United States made up of over 200 years ago? It was made up of thirteen colonies.
Which country ruled the colonies then? They were ruled by Britain.
Which war did American patriots fight for from 1775 to 1782? They fought for independence from Britain.
Why did the patriots call the British soldiers redcoats? Because British soldiers wore red uniforms.
Why does the captain that Jack and Annie meet ask them to help him deliver a letter? Because he’s also from Frog Creek, Pennsylvania, just like Jack and Annie, so he wants them to help him deliver a letter to his children
What important historical event happened on Wednesday, December 25, 1776? About 2400 American patriots crossed the Delaware River in Pennsylvania led by George Washington to ambush the British soldiers.
Did the American patriots succeed? Yes, they completely caught the Hessians, German soldiers hired by the British to fight off guard. It was a great victory for the patriots.
Whose words did George Washington use to encourage his soldiers? Words of Thomas Paine. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.
Can you tell us who Thomas Paine is? He was a writer during the colonial period. He inspired the patriots by writing a popular pamphlet called Common Sense. He encouraged the colonists to break away from Britain.

September 12, 2020引爆戰爭的導火線—鮮少人知的美國被殖民史| 神奇樹屋Magic Tree House #22：Revolutionary War on Wednesday 遇見華盛頓
這一次的神奇樹屋Magic Tree House #22：Revolutionary War on Wednesday 我們將會分為三集來介紹美國獨立戰爭，第一集，我們來聊聊戰爭發生前的時代背景。

曾經被大英帝國殖民的美國，你知道是什麼原因，讓美國人沒有留下喝茶的習慣，反而是喝咖啡嗎？

在美國獨立前，美國還沒有州的區分，只有13個殖民區，這些殖民區都集中在東北區緊靠著大西洋沿岸，但殖民統治的大英帝國到底施行了什麼不合理的政策，迫使殖民區埋下反抗的種子呢？

本集李老師與Sophie對話：

Sure, In the beginning of the book, the reader finds out that Camelot, where Morgan, the librarian who created the magic treehouse from King Arthur’s times is from, is in trouble. To save the kingdom, Jack and Annie have to find four special kinds of writings for her library. For this book, they have to find the second writing, something to send.
Why doesn’t Jack really want to go at first? Because they are going to another war.
Which war are they going back to？ American Revolutionary War.
Which two sides fight against each other in American Revolutionary War? Americans patriots fight for independence from Britain.
Who do they meet by the river? They met a group of tired patriots.
What date do Jack and Annie return to? December 25, 1776.
Which important historical figure do they meet there? George Washington
Why is George Washington so important? Because he led America to become independent and he became the first president of the US
How do Jack and Annie find the special writing that they are looking for? When a captain asks Jack and Annie to help him deliver or send his farewell letter to his children if he dies in the war.
What do Jack and Annie get to do after this? They get to take the writing home.
Sophie, can you briefly outline this story for us? My pleasure. Morgan’s Camelot is in trouble, and in order to save Camelot, Jack and Annie need to find four special kinds of writing. In this book, they go to the American Revolutionary War to find the second writing. When they get there, they discover it’s December 25, 1776, and the patriots are about to cross the Delaware River, led by George Washington. A captain asks Jack and Annie to deliver or send a letter to his kids in case he dies in the war. Upon receiving this letter, Jack and Annie realize they have accomplished their mission and are able to return home.

September 04, 2020 讓柏拉圖讚譽為第十位繆思，卻被後世誤解性向的才華女詩人—Sappho莎芙｜神奇樹屋 Magic Tree House #16: Hour of the Olympics 勇闖古奧運

在這集的Magic Tree House當中，Jack和Annie遇到最重要的人物就是Plato（柏拉圖）與匿名女詩人，據推測，這名女詩人應該是Sappho（莎芙），雖然莎芙是早生於柏拉圖一個世代前，但透過作者巧妙的安排，讓他們在同一個時空見面。

而我們常聽到單身男女會說「我在尋找我的另一半」，你知道”另一半”這個詞彙其實是源自於柏拉圖在《對話錄》中對愛情的觀點嗎？

而古希臘時代，女性沒有受教權，但出生貴族家庭的莎芙，卻能成為當時彈著lyre（七絃琴）吟唱詩詞的女詩人，你知道Lesbian 女同志，這個詞彙，其實是源自莎芙與她的出生地Lesbo島嗎？到底她的詩詞中藏著什麼樣的魅力，也讓柏拉圖的老師Aristotle（亞里斯多德）也欽佩不已呢？
