Green---The Research Motivation of Green Map in TaChu Village
|
Contents:
|
一、Research Motivation:
The Green Map is called “the Green Life Map” in Taiwan and its abbreviation is “Lui Hwo Map”. It is a kind of map concerning the nature and cultural environment. The completion of the map is through the local people. Green Map Icons are used to designate the meaningful scenic spots in ecology and society. These
scenic spots will make people feel strong connection with the natural environment. People will be happy and pleased with themselves. In addition, it will make us find ways to reduce the negative impact to our environment and take up the ecological system knowledge. Thus the community members will know the health-promotion organizations and institutions. It can connect the people with the nature and promote the people’s local sense. (http://www.greenmap.org) Briefly speaking,
the Green Map is a tool for reaching the sustainable future.
The so-called “sustainable” means that we shouldn’t use things which will damage the global environment in daily life, work, food, beverage and entertainment. Besides, we then can ensure the quality of life to our culture, races and the generations in the future.
Nowadays the Green Map System is an eco-cultural movement. A completion of the Map stands for the involvement of the localized knowledge, movements and responsibilities. It just accords with the socail learning area to combine the four basic ideas “survival, living, life and existence”. Thus we can merge this lesson into the learning
activities of the social learning area.
On account of the above ideas and the Remote Digital Aid Project from E-Service Volunteer of National Changhua University of Education, it inspired our principal Mr. Chang Jei-ju and the dean Mr. Juo Shuin-de to participate in the Cyber Fair on environment issue.
Hopefully we can
demonstrate the digital research result with the spirits and ways of the Green
Map through plans, participation in the survey activities on natural and
ecological study, local customs and conditions or feelings of the people,
combining the collective observation of the parents, teachers and students,
exploring and recording the ecological and cultural feelings of our campus and
community.
Further more we hope ourstudents will know far more about the local and natural environment of TaChuVillage. We’d like to cultivate our
children to become the green seeds for subsoiling ecological environment and
local education.

Green--- The Suggestions and Reflections of the Research V, A Case
Study---Green Map in TaChu Village
|
Contents:

五、 Suggestions and Reflections:
1.The study is just a beginning. We need to keep observing and researching and
then we can know further about the natural ecology and the local feelings of
the local campus and the community.
Therefore we will keep tracking and recording.
2.Through the assistance of the class
PTA and Parents Association, the people of the community can pay more attention
to make the Green Map together.
3.Gradually I found out through the
research procedure with the students that the so-called teacher-students
relationship is vague.

The students ask
the questions naively, share enthusiastic and try hard to solve the
problems. As I am used to playing a role
of “instructor” and “leader”, I loosen myself to reexamine my “opinions” and “position”. I ask myself from the bottom of my heart that
I have never felt or believed the fact that the children are born to pursue
knowledge by instinct. Furthermore I
doubt deeply that the children have the ability to “rustle up food” to “feed”
their stomachs of knowledge. Yet they plunged
into and gave a lot of assistance to the Aactivated Green program. It really
presented the kids a wonderful opportunity to make the students and me have a
fantastic beginning in “the procedure of the knowledge construction”, “knowledge
stems from life’ and “care and sprout of environment and beauty”.
It was very tough to research in the first place. We felt uneasy for “the unknown” and “ambiguity”. In addition it was difficult because of the
self-limitation. Therefore we obtained
knowledge and self-confidence and created many valuable memories through the
articles accumulated.
I adore the converted “me” and the
converted children. Indeed, they are the
energetic elves of the Activated Green on the PaGua Mountain.
Read what the students
wrote in the research report and then you will know that all their efforts are
worth collecting and sharing. We will
remember the mutual progress in our life forever. It is because the course is the most complete
and meaningful.

Report of Advisor Chu Chin-yi

Before we paid a visit to the Society of
Wilderness, I was not so touched by the Green Map Movement. I simply wanted to accomplish a job and a
movement. Yet after we visited Taichung
Office, the Society of Wilderness, it opened another field of vision to us.
The Taichung Office is located in a very unnoted and small alley. The wok team here is enthusiastic about our
land and lives. We can have further
concept in our environment through the transparency pictures made by them. We were moved to know each story from the
trasparency and caught by the perceived environment. What impressed me most was some pictures
taken in the entrance of the forest.
These pictures had been taken in the smae place. It was green and widely spread five years
ago, and then it went down a little, at last, the forest looked bare one year
ago. Then I realized why there’s a sign
with a tearful eye. I think what it
wants to say is the phenomenon of the withering.
Let’s start from our own
environment! Hohefully such withering
will be cut down day by day. May Green
activate again!

Reflection on Cyber Fair (The Volunteer
Parent Jeng Bao-chien)

I am very pleased to have such opportunity
to take part in Cyber Fair activity held by school. The activities begin from this semester. I would like to share my reflection of
study. The first trip was to visit
Taichung Office, the Society of Wilderness.
The teachers and students up to a total of 21 went to Taichung on the
first day of the winter vacation. We
know there are some people who cherish the same ideals and devote themselves to
the ecological preserve.
Our school sensed that our children lacked
of technique. We invited the advisor
Miss Lin Su-jen to teach our students to make picturebooks. The topic was “My School”
stretching to the kids’ families. The
teacher used costly acrylic materials and the students all tried hard to do the
job. They did it with their
creativity. The result surprised the
teachers. Under the teacher’s guidance,
the students were inspired to show their artistic ability. It was really a gift given from school.
In the speech of the
Society of Wilderness on February 19th , Class A, the fourth grade
had a very valuable lesson. They
introduced every detail in global warming and the measures to solve such major
problem. Besides, they introduced the
prototype trees in Taiwan and how to do a rubbing of the leaves. Under the guidance of Mr. Chung Bu-lao, we
planted Taiwanese prototype trees in the movement “Get Online, Being Green”
held by Chunghwa Telecom in the afternoon.
The teachers and the students of our school all planted the trees, such
as Calocedrus Formosana, Princess Flower, Polygonum Multiflorum Thunb,
Cinnamomum Kanehirae Hayata and Lagerstroemia Subcostata etc. (The folk name is Ho Bu-pa. It means that even monkeys can’t climb such
slippery trees.) They made the WunDe
Backyard Garden---The Fairy Land flourishing and prosperous in the Chinese New
Year. I was so honored to take part in
the activity. Thanks to our school, it
gave the teachers and students another type of learning. I would like to show the gratitude of all the
parents.

I was so happy to take part
in the cyber fair this year. It was a
very rare opportunity. Our school is in
the countryside. It was very tough job
to obtain such an opportunity. The knowledge
that the students of the fifth and sixth grades could join the activity made me
excited and thrilled. How could I miss
such a great chance?
Then I attended the activity with my friend.
We drew up our reports at the midday break every day. I introduced the scenic spots near our school
and nearby and the reflection to Taichung Office, the Society of
Wilderness. The Office is not that big
as I expected. Although it is a very
small place, we had many good memories there.
The ladies in the Office taught us how to make a Green Map. We could even use signs to indicate what we
wanted to show. Furthermore they showed
us many pictures of beautiful scenic spots including DaBaJien Mountain. Taiwan is so beautiful and hopefully we can
protect our Formosa.

I was so honored and
pleased to have this opportunity to take part in the Cyber Fair this year. It’s quite difficult to obtain such a chance
in the remote area like our school.
There were too many students wanted to join the activity. Luckily I was chosen. Our teacher told us that she wanted to decide
who could participate the activity by drawing lots. I was so nervous to pray and pray. I repeatedly said my prayers in my mind. When the time came, our teacher called out
for the lucky ones. At last I
unexpectedly heard my name. I gave
cheers from the bottom of my heart. I
couldn’t believe what I heard. I thought
that was all because my sincere prayers made me dreams come true. We went to the computer room to draw up our
reports at the noon break on the first day in the Cyber Fair Activity. The dean asked us to introduce the beautiful
scenic spots around TaChu Village and the relection of Green Mapmaking when we
went to Taichung Office, the Society of Wilderness last time. I got through very tough time. Partly we should resist the feeling of sleep,
partly we tried hard to manage our report and tried not to type the wrong
words. Although it’s a hard time
finishing our job, those good memories will be lasting in my heart
forever.

I
was so delighted to have the opportunity to take part in the activity this
time. I obtained a lot of knowledge in
the activity. At the beginning when I
heard the news from our teacher, I was wondering if I should go for it or
not. A friend of mine asked me to join
with her, I took my courage in both hands to step in. I was so surprised and so excited. We drew up our reports together and discussed
together. I was fond of this
feeling. It’s terrific. We even went to the Society of Wilderness
because of the activity. We were taught
to make the Green Map. What impressed me
most was the films to introduce the beautiful scenic spots in Taiwan and the
slogan in the film, “We have only one
Formosa and we have only one globe.”
When we tried to make the picturebooks, we mixed the colors with the roller, painting and
cutting together. There are so many
beautiful memories to keep.
When I drew up my report during these days, I always heard a voice from my
mind, “Try harder and harder. Don’t give
up.” It is a very challenging
opportunity for myself and it’s also so meaningful.

I am very pleased to

been cudgeling my brains trying to draw up my report. It doesn’t matter if only I can take part in
this contest. I don’t care. The only thing I want is win.

thought that Cyber Fair was not fun in the first place. After I took part in the activity, I obtained
a lot of knowledge. I had many things to
do after my participation in this activity.
For example, drawing up the report is a necessity and besides, the Green
Map making. At first when I saw the
tools on the desk, I thought that it must be a very tough and time-consuming
job for me to do. After I tried it, I
realized that it was quite simple and fun.
I really learned a lot during these two days and I did my level best to

My report was to introduce the beautiful scenic spots around our school
and I should post it online. We went to
the Society of Wilderness to make the delicate picturebooks. Afterwards the teachers there took us
upstairs to the second floor, they showed us the beauty of the trees and the
mountains. In the end, I know I should
pay more attention to make picturebooks and the report.

I had nothing to do but follow him.

Through the dean’s teaching, my ability in composition improved far

At times the activity made me know what the Green Map is and green
life. Whenever the other friends talk
with me about the green life things, I could say something more quickly than
the others. Then I will feel
accomplished. By the way, I had to type

This
was the first time for me to plant a tree.
I was so excited. My best friend
Huang Jun-yen planted with me. The most
amazing thing was that we could took a shovel to dig the soil in the Elf
Land. I was wondering what strange
things I was going to dig out. We dug
and dug again. Eventually I planted a
tree into the hole. I even dug out some
earthworms and a plastic bag. All of a
sudden I heard the girls screaming.
Guess what? They dug out a
worm. I thought it was a Rhinoceros
Beetle or Stag Beetle’s grub in the first place. Actually it was a nameless worm. It made my hands turn sticky. Our teacher guessed that it was a dorbeetle’s
grub. I hope we can plant more trees
then it will be helpful to our eyes.

When we planted the tree, hopefully our tree could grow taller and
taller, better and better. We felt very

planted the tree with great care, too. Someone’s
tree was quite strange, half red and half green. I couldn’t figure out why. When we put the tree into the hole and
covered with dirt, it was so interesting.
We pressed the dirt and repressed it again and afterwards we left the

could feel the crying of the nature through this activity. Over-developing the environment, people
damaged our nature. We should take good
care of the nature. By the way, it’s not
easy to make a picturebook. You can only
accomplish it with complicated procedures.
Above all I learned to type because of drawing up the report. You can’t type too fast at first. I kept learning slowly and then faster and
faster. I hope the activity will last
forever. Isn’t it wonderful?
