Problems
1. Chinese language skill: During the whole process of the activities, every aspect was deeply involved with the use of Chinese language, including writing daily log, management of the website content, designing of questionnaires, interviewing skills, summary, writing reports, etc. So the students have polished their language skills (reading, speaking and writing).
2. Social knowledge: Based on the school, we approached the community, exploring the stories of the local people, and gained a better understanding of the humanistic features of Luchou. We identified the problems we were faced during the process, and tried to solve them on our own.
3. Knowledge about the nature and our lives: By searching on the internet, field interviews, audio recording, photographing by DC and DV, we have learnt to deal with the power of modern science and technology. With this project, the students were trained how to observe, raise questions, make plans and summaries, analyze the results, cooperate and coordinate with each others. Their creative ability and the spirit of science were also polished. Now they have tasted the pleasure of being initiative and independent in exploration.
4. Art and humanistic knowledge: By designing the posts and the website, the students have improved their creative ability and artistic taste.
5. Comprehensive skills: During the activities, the students were allowed to express themselves and think over their experience, and learn to attain their goals with cooperation and coordination.
6. Health and sports: The interviews required the careful planning of time, agenda and place in advance, and the proper attitude towards interviewees. This would help the students’ personal development and lives in future.
7. Information technology: the students made use of various information skills to search, sort, analyze, integrate, demonstrate and use data. The information technology has become an important tool for them to expand their study and communicate with others. The design of the website also helped them to improve their IT skills.
