School Activity

 

Expert Speech

 

Lecturer: Liao, Hui-Yan (Head of Environmental- Control Section, the Ministry of Interior)

Motivation: After interviewing architect Zhang, Qing-Hua , the designer of Beitou Library, we had a better knowledge about the history and the background of the Green Building, which we had never learned from school. Inviting Liao, Hui-Yan to deliver a speech to teachers and students in our school will clarify and intensify the concept of the Green Building. We can learn how to put the concept into practice in our daily lives.

In-Class Promotion

 

Bullet points: What is Green Building? Why do we need Green Buildings? We hope that we can tell the students how important the Green Building is to us through PPT presentations. We can start from the basic part of our lives, that is, saving water and energy. 

 

▲We were presenting our promotion project to junior students.

 

Puppet Performance

Besides “I Love Green Building”, Green Miracle also used the story of “Three Little Pigs” to write a skit about Green Buildings, in hopes of telling everyone the advantages of Green Buildings

 

Story Outline:

Once upon a time, there was a Little Wolf, who used to listen to his grandma telling stories. His favorite story was “Three Little Pigs,” which is about a wolf who helped little pigs build houses. One day, his grandma was sick. Little Wolf’s father told Little Wolf to visit his grandma with a basket of fruits. On his way to grandma’s house, he came across a Sleeping Beauty who likes to listen to stories, so Little Wolf told Sleeping Beauty the story of “Three Little Pigs,” after that, they became good friends. When Little Wolf was looking for his grandpa chopping woods in the mountain, he bumped into a pig, who was collecting straw. Little Wolf was so excited that he asked him whether he was the first little pig, who built a house with straw, but the first little pig told him that he built a Green Building instead of a straw house. Little Wolf got this answer from the second little pig….Who on earth did Little Wolf came across? How did they build Green BuildingsBuildings?

Picture Book

 

Purpose：

During the process of researching Green Building project, we could hardly find books that were suitable for younger children. Therefore, Green Miracle decided to create a picture book, in which we painted the story “Three Little Pigs that You Don’t Know,” but we changed a few plots. A story with pictures can help them get the idea quickly. Finally, a picture e-book was created.
