AN INTERESTING LESSON AT VĂN MIẾU-QUỐC TỬ GIÁM FOR STUDENTS OF VINSCHOOL MÉTROPOLIS
On October 4, 2020, grade 6 students of Vinschool Métropolis visited Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám and learned by hands-on experience taking part in an educational activity called "Mật mã danh nhân-Celibrity Code" that offers them a chance to discover interesting things about the stone steles and to find out names of outstanding Ph. Doctors whose names were engraved on those steles.
The Codes are placed on different steles, the students' task is to come up with a correct answer to a question before they are allowed to take one code. Each found code contains interesting information about the same Doctor. When students have found all the codes, then they will know who the Doctor is.
This educational program is developed in the form of a game. In fact, the progam brought them interesting hands-on experience, from which they could learn skills, including: understanding the layout of steles, analyzing and processing information, observing, describing, evaluating. Taking part in this program, the grade 6 students of Vinschool Mestropolis felt free to play and move, which is good for their health.
Stone steles at Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám record the names of 1304 Ph. Doctors who lived in the Lê, Mạc, and Lê Trung Hưng dynasties. Many of the Doctors whose names are engraved on the stele are famous people, including historian Ngô Sĩ Liên, mathematician Lương Thế Vinh, scientist Lê Quý Đôn, diplomat Ngô Thì Nhậm … They are good examples of ethics and learning for students to follow.

When the students found all the codes and knew who the celebrity is, they continued to visit the Heritage Discovery Centre, where they learned how to print using priting blocks. This activity gives students an opportunity to understand traditional printing techniques and the meanings of some Chinese characters that were engraved on the stone steles.
