Deciding on the topic |
|
We spent a lot of time on deciding to enter the competition, to register, and to choose the topic. Originally, we chose the topic of ¡§Soy Sauce,¡¨ which is related to the industries in Hsin Kang Township . Later, after many team meetings and much discussion, we decided on the topic ¡§The Deng Yun Academy,¡¨ which was the historic monument locally. |

Holding the Confucius worshiping ceremony |
|
Of all the elementary schools in Chia Yi County, only our school has a spirit tablet of Confucius on campus. Therefore, the ceremony of worshiping Confucius this year was held in our school. The ceremony was pompous and solemn, which let us see a different aspect of our school. |

Recruiting new members |
|
At first, the team comprised of five students in addition to the teachers. Later, the six-graders who were CyberFair participants the previous year agreed to come to pass on their experience to the original members. So we had ten members in all. Union is strength. A member added means one more helping hand. Go! Go! |

To go out to investigate, an essential skill is to use the digital camera. Under the direction of our teachers and with continuous practice, we became experts in photography. |

Discussing the framework for the topic ¡§The Deng Yun Academy¡¨ |
|
The teachers asked us to brainstorm. What could the Deng Yun Academy inspire you to think of? O my God, I kept thinking about this even when I was taking a bath or in sleep. |

Visiting the Deng Yun Academy |

The Deng Yun Academy was on campus. The teachers asked us to go to the front yard to look at the information, watch the inscription on the stele, and visit the Wen Chang Shrine so as to know its past and present and the history of Wen Chang Elementary School . |

Collecting, reading, and filing data |

For more than two months, we collected many data about the Deng Yun Academy , Confucius, General Wang Der-Lu, Confucius worshiping ceremonies, and other academies. We classified, edited, and uploaded them one by one to the file called ¡§Work Progress Report.¡¨ |

Visiting the Ming Xin Academy |
|
We were very excited because this was the first time we went to visit a place outside our school. The Ming Xin Academy was very bustling. There were a lot of things to see. The architecture was old-fashioned and filled with scholarly atmosphere. |

Handling the questionnaires |
|
Because there were too many Dance Students, Ritual Attendants, and Music Students, it was hard for us to interview them one by one. We decided to draw up three questionnaires in which we posed questions according to what we saw in the worshiping ceremony of Confucius. Then we distributed and took back the questionnaires. After an analysis, we uploaded the result to the file of ¡§Work Progress Report.¡¨ |

We conducted and recorded interviews with our directors. Then we wrote reports based on the recording and notes. These made us understand the meanings of the ceremony of worshiping Confucius and the relics and history of the Deng Yun Academy . |

Holding training classes on web-page making |
|
After finishing collecting data, we started to make web-pages. Though we had had experience of web-page making, it was a brand-new activity for us to design and make cartoons. With the direction of our teachers and our own practice, our products looked much more remarkable. |

Making our web-pages |
|
After the sample plate was finished one by one, each member began to put in texts, pictures, commentaries he or she was responsible for. It looked simple but to show our best we spent a lot of time on them. |

Integrating and connecting our web-pages |
|
Our work was almost finished except for editing. We codified our documents properly. Each web-page was given a suitable file name and uploaded to the FTP belonging to each member. At this juncture, our teachers needed only to download each web-page to give it a final inspection, editing, and integrating before we could put paid to it. |

After everything was found OK, we uploaded our data, thus finishing the five-month-long project. |
