【 Overview of the Research Plan 】

	Category of Competition Participated： Local Leader
	Our Local Community is： Our school is located in Yilan City, Yilan County, Taiwan and the leader we present in our research is Mr. Huang Chun-Ming and his Huang Ta-Yu Kid’s Troupe are also located in Yilan City. Yilan City, a capital city of Lanyang Plain, a plain first developed since Wu Sa led his followers into Toucheng in 1796. They pushed gradually southward. In 1802, immigrants from Zhangzhou, Fujan, China developed the 5th base point, Wu Wei (5th Enclosure), which is present Yilan City. 1810, due to outlaws’ and pirates’ actions, the Ching Government decided to annex into its territory and set up a county administration – Kamalan County Government to charge. They built castle with soil and plant Jiuchun Tree on the earth wall as fence and make the castle a city with wall, isolating waters, office, street, temple and educational institutes and was called Jiuchun City. It turned this place a center of politics, economic and culture. Presently, Yilan City is equipped with the best Performance Hall in Yilan County, which has been used by many performing groups, both domestic and foreign. Huang Ta Yu Kid’s Troupe has been dedicating their performance in this place for many times. It has even moved their Troupe base to this performance hall to be the originating place for promoting children drama.

Presently, there are 80 computers in the classroom always ready for surf online. There are also 2 scanners, one printer for network printout. In the classroom, we have one computer for connecting network. Each grade has one B/W and Color printers for the use of team members. Ion access, Computer classroom of the school further provide one Linux Main for storing the individual data and web page space. Each of the 7 members has computer at home and are linked to internet. So, the students can browse online in school as well as at home for needed data and information.
	Problems we encountered and overcome：
Problem Encountered Description of problem Our solutions Compatibility of time between member and interviewed Team members like interview very much, but they have their schooling time and interview time to arrange and conflict is not unusual. Many students have to spent time in cram school as well. This made our interview plan under test. Teachers conducting interview on behalf of students, and discuss with students over the recorded tapes. Security Security is the utmost to students in going out of school for the research. As the interviews were mostly set with short notice, we had to give up sometime to abide the insurance requirements. Set up the interview appointment as early s possible and provide the interview schedule as well as the insurance time table. Students and teachers are differently oriented to the research. While students are very interested in engaging in the research, but they are not patient enough to sorting data and typing the notes of interview. Convincing with students with the theory that data sorting and interpretation are the most important part of an invention and a research. Photographing In their play, the troupe does not like us use flash light, which may have impact on their performance. Use better camera or ask the troupe to provide photos. No random interview rehearsal or in play, we don’t want to disturb them, so the time for interview becomes difficult to predict. Use lunch break or the break between interviews. Coordination with school instructions need be improved. While we spent lot of efforts in field investigation, the information could be used only within our team and could not be utilized effectively. The results of research were conveyed to teachers in Wednesday seminar and we designed learning sheets, special reports, drama play to make students know about Huang Chun-Ming and his Kid’s Troupe. Still lot of work needs be done The more we are in touch with the interviewed party, the more we need to interview further and the more data / material needs to be collected. Although our workload grew with the approaching of date set for uploading, but we, students and teachers, are proud for the Achievement we have made.
	The gains：
	Master Huang Chun Ming is a unique person. Before meeting him, we knew that he is a famous folk literature writer. After searching data/ materials about him on line, the interview and following tours of his Huang Ta Yu Kid’s Troupe, we sensed his vast range of knowledge. From literature to kid’s drawing books, from radio drama to documentary, from photographing to shredding drawing, he learnt by himself in many cases, but he is very professional. The deep emotional transaction between people in his works always make people just believe them. We asked, why does he promote kid’s drama? He insisted that he is not promoting, but providing children who might not have the chance to watch stage play. This moved us very much. We though a famous writer must have grand target or purpose in establishing a kid’s troupe in his home town. Yet, what he had is a simple hope. It is hard to believe that in this superficial and disguised era, there is a person like Master Huang Chun-Ming, persisting and dedicating in a tiny simple wish. We feel lucky as well as happy to be a Yilan local, as Master Huang Chun-Ming is.
