During this time being, we had laughter , tears , love and joy. We started out from summer time when the cicadas were chirping in the trees and ended all the way till next spring. It was a tough journey. Some parents doubted that it would affect their children’s grades and quitted halfway through. However, to insist in what we believed in, we put ourselves together and gave this competition all we got.

It was a real honor to join Green Miracle and worked with partners that I respect. Through this contest, I got to know more about Green Buildings and its meaning. It also let me realize the good that Green Buildings can do to the world! I hope this website can let more people understand and build more G reen Building to love and protect our planet!

Our Internet Fair is coming to an end finally!

This is a memory that I will never forget. Through this, I learned how powerful it is to be perseverant. Due to the Internet Fair, we had to visit the sites ourselves very often. It took a lot of our weekends and I often had to ask for a leave from my classes. Bur many parents were willing to ask their children to take a leave from the talented classes in order to take part in the visits.

Our first trip was to the Architecture and Building Research Institute. Second trip was to the Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch. Third trip was to the demonstration base of Green Buildings. . Fourth trip was to the Tamhei Waste Water Recycling Factory. We even had a chance to interview the director of Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch Jhou, Jhih-Hong , professor Li, Wun- Ling , Mr. Jhen Sing- Sheng, borough president of Jhang An subdivision of Beitou , Ms. Zeng Shu -S ian, director of National Central Library , Mr.  He Ming- Jin, head of Architecture and Building Research Institute and last but not least two architects of Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch, Mr. Jhang Cing-Hua and Mr. Guo Ying -J hao. We even got their signatures!

Besides, we used our free time to make a big Green Building model. It was our first time building such a big model, so it wasn’t beautiful and some of our members even hurt themselves accidently while making the model. After the experience of making such a big Green Building model, we went back and made smaller models of our own at home. With these models, we held an in-school photographic exhibition and Green Building exhibition. Besides these, we even went to different classes and acted out “ Three Little Pigs That You Don’t Know”. We even showed a short promotion film of Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch , which we volunteered tour guides. Besides, we even invited famous people from different areas to star in our G reen B uilding promotion video. After looking back at all these memories, I’ve gained a lot. Not only did I learn from teacher Lin and teacher Lu about how to use X Mind to construct a website, but also Artister, Unlead Video Studio, and how to upload our video that we made onto Youtube. What’s more is the experience of promoting Green Building on-air and being interviewed by Mandarin Daily News!    

Lots of lessons were learned during this competition. Besides the knowledge of Green Building and skill of planning an event, we learned to work as a team, to cheer each other up , these were all valuable lessons that weren’t taught inside the classroom. Hereby, we are grateful of all the supports that we got on our way, support from our families, friends and all the others. We couldn’t finish this webpage project without them. We really put a lot of our efforts into this project “Taiwan’s Green Building Pride- Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch”. As our teacher encouraged us, “This is only the start. The road of research is tiring, but the power that abundant. So, we, Green Miracle , the lovers of Earth will keep going on as the guardian of protecting this planet and supporter of Green Buildings.”

As spring arrives, Green Miracle’s work is finally done for the Internet Fair. Looking at it, all the days of hard work and everybody’s efforts starts to came into my mind.

I remember last summer when our team only just formed together, we were discussing our topic and the name of our team. The teacher tried his best to explain to us what “ Green Building”, our research topic was. He let us discuss about the readings Architecture O2 and The Magic Green School in our study group. After reading these books, the concept of Green Building started to sprout in our minds. After reading , we needed to experience the things that we’ve read in real life, so our first stop was the Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior to visit the Eag House. This let us know the future development for our architectures and that it doesn’t cost a lot of money to build a Green Building.
Next, we visited one of the twenty five most beautiful libraries in the world. Our team came to Beitou to visit the Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch. The director of the library, Mr. Chou, gave us a tour of the library and explained it all. Here we saw everything that we learned about the nine Green Building targets put into use. The more we knew about the library, the more astonished we were because of its beauty , comfort and how in its silent ways, the library is protecting the earth.

In addition, we also visited the Civil Service Development Institute and Tamhei Waste Water Recycling Factory. Due to our efforts, the Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior gave us all a short-term training certificate. After visiting all these Green Buildings, we started making models of Green Buildings according to our own designs. We even wished that we could build a Green Building that we could live in, but to live in it alone would be a pity, we believed that this wonderful idea should be promoted to the community and other schools. So, we performed “ Three Little Pigs That You Don’t Know” in school and held a Green Building Fair to let students in our school know more about Green Buildings. We even filmed a promotion video and uploaded it onto Youtube. What’s more was that we were so excited that we gathered our creativity and made a picture book. Besides, we even went on air for our first time to spread our ideas, accept Mandarin Daily News’ interview, and we even got the support and approval from the minister of the Ministry of the Interior, Mr. LI Hong-Yuan .

To present our final result and effort, Teacher Lin and Teacher Lu taught us how to use the software X Mind, Artister, and Unlead Video Studio. All the bitterness and sweetness during the process of this whole project were all there in our hearts. Although a lot of the experience was the first time for a lot of us, yet we tried our best to learn and cheered each other up. Besides thanking our teachers’ guidance and support, we have to thank our moms and dads for their company and support throughout the whole process, not letting us feel lonely along the way. All our efforts were all for one purpose, to let more people care for our environment and create a harmony in-between nature and human.

At the begining of the semester, I joined Green Miracle . During the weekends in September, our team came back and forth between MRT stations and Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch. As October came, we were still wandering about on the streets of Beitou. Then the harsh cold December came, in big and thick jackets we came back to the library to interview the director of the library and learned how to be a volunteer. Throughout all these time, no matter how hard, our passion for “ Green Building” never died out.

Since joining this team, I had a lot of my first times. The beauty of Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch astonished me. In order to research on “ Green Buildings”, we visited a lot of places, took lots of classes, and the Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior gave us all a short-term training certificate for our effort. The spirit of Green Building and its targets had stuck in my mind.

While working on this project, I learned of new skills, from invitations to flyer design, survey design, web editing, all these sharpened me. Especially in the computer aspect, I learned a lot of new things. In in-school and out-school activities, I participated in the puppet performance which was new and fun to me! Making our own Green Building model from each wall to each handmade plant was another meaningful activity that we did. The success of the launching ceremony really pulled our spirit up.

During the winter break, we went to Radio Taiwan International for an interview. At first, everyone was nervous, but we got better later on. We also got interviewed by the Mandarin Daily News at school. What’s even more, we got the support and approval from the minister of the Ministry of the Interior, Mr. Li Hong- Yuan. All these were wonderful experiences for us all!

During the whole process, it was tough. We are grateful for the supports from everywhere we can get. Thanks to our teachers, our parents, and our classmates, if it were not with their support, we couldn’t have today’s success. During these few months, I really experienced the importance of teamwork. Due to everyone’s effort and time, could all this happen. Also, during this whole process, the power of internet technology and the computer really surprised me. By using all these resources efficiently could we organize it all together. We may have sacrificed our leisure time, but we gained something more unforgettable. Not only did my knowledge grow, but also my mind. I think I’m doing something meaningful  - to spread the idea of Green Building to every corner on Earth. We hope our research project can spread around the world and let the concept sprout everywhere!

When you see a Baroque Architecture which country do you think of? Europe, of course. Then when you think of Taiwan, what kind of architecture do you think of? I’m afraid that no one could answer this question. 

The Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior may have an answer though. They are creating something new - the Green Building. The green ceiling is my most interested target among the nine targets of Green Buildings. Taiwan is an island of hot temperature with lots of plants. It would be a great thing if we could live in the forest. Green roofs for each house, with birds and butterflies coming and going. Ponds of green plants and fish and fireflies. In the cool breeze and such surroundings, we free ourselves of the pressure from a day. Green lands that are lost to development now moved upon the roof is a great way to pursue.

The government and its people have tried to promote Green Buildings for years. They worked together to protect forests. They put together the beautiful nature and school and community. We ourselves can be protectors of nature, by doing the little things in our liv es such as buying energy saving labeled products and turning off lights, and faucets.

In the beginning, we thought this would be a fun and easy project. However, halfway through, we changed our point of view. We discovered the hardness within this project. Everyone were tired. However, we kept on going all the way till the end!

After finishing this web design project, it let me realize how wonderful and powerful the internet is. Not only can we use it to send messages, but also promote our country through it, just like what we did with Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch. Now we can let more people around the world know what a wonderful library we have here in Taiwan! Through the web, we could share the fun reading in the tree house and at the same time spread the concept of Green Building, to let people know of the environmentally friendly, energy saving, waste reducing, healthy way of life.

Besides, I gained a lot of computer skills especially with picture editing. I could not only make the pictures pretties, but also edit it into what we need, by adding words, for example. Besides computer skills, I also learned to work as a team. While working on the project, we helped each other out when we need to while working on our best. When a problem appeared, we would discuss it as a team. Although there were many different voices and we had fights, we managed to come up with a solution through talking with one another. I think this is important because if we can’t listen to one another’s voice and insist our own, there wouldn’t today’s success. So we should thank each other, and say “Thank you! You did a good job!” However, it wasn’t all that tough throughout the project, we had fun time also. Most of all, unlike sitting in a classroom and hearing a lecture, we were experiencing it ourselves.

Due to this, we had more time working with each other and our friendship grew stronger and stronger. We learned a lot through this project. Although we had to go and visit a lot of places during the weekends and to stay at school longer to talk about and work on the project, no matter how tired we were, there was one thing that we believed in - “We must go on. Never give up.” Due to this belief, we finished our project and hope that it will have a good grade!

Instructors’ Words:

Share Resources. Develop Students’ Potential Accordingly.

Like the students have said, from summer till spring, this had been a long journey. What I’m glad about is that I see the growth of the children, for example they could only do a choppy report in the beginning, but in the end they could all do a perfect presentation; from working well independently to working successfully as a team; from wanting to quit to persevering till the end. I was also grateful for those people who had helped the students with their project : Jhang Cing- Hua, architect Guo Ying- Jhao, head of the Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior He Ming-Jing, curator Zeng Shu -S ian, Director Liao Huei -Yan , chairmen Jhen C ing Li , Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch dean JHOU Jhih- Hong, teacher Jhen Hai-S hu, teacher Li Wun- Ling, manager Wang Wan- Jhih, borough president of Jhang An subdivision of Beitou Jhen Sing- Sheng, professor Jhen Guei- Cih and many more others. So, as you can see the students really learned a lot outside of the books.

To learn and to know is never enough; to teach and know its difficulty.

Starting from receiving a ten-hour internship certificate and became an ambassador for promoting the concept of Green Building , Green Miracle had revised this research project again and again. It was a tough road to take. However, upon each difficulty we m et, we learned a little something more. From visiting the library to promoting the concept in the school and outside the campus, all these are things that cannot be learnt from  textbooks. It was because kids got to experience all these by themselves instead of just reading and that was also why they could felt the urge of promoting Green Buildings . Doing a research project  requires not only knowledge memorizing, mature operating skills but also teamwork and overall understanding of such issue . Through teamwork, discussions with teachers and outdoor visiting, students had new findings and gained knowledge about Green Buildings. Before ending it all, recalling back to what you all little fifth graders had achieved, I am proud!

Open up your vision. Develop in all aspects .

The children’s interest is diverted and changeable. We need to help them learn according to each and every of their differences. Let them learn knowledge by experiencing them instead of only memorizing from the texts. At the same time, parents can work with kids through cooperation and negotiation, to help them throughout the process of learning and supplement their different needs to let them learn from daily lives, to help them observe their surroundings and gain interest. In the end, letting them learn something that they can take with them for life. During this whole process, teachers had put much effort in discussion groups sharing and teaching, parents also participated eagerly. By the cooperation of teachers and parents, we guided these kids, taught them how to ask questions, and how to solve problems. Through these scientific processes, it can help the students understand the world better, and at the same time raise their abilities and the power of innovation.

Greeting the twelve year compulsory education.

The most important of this project is cultivating the students’ skills to deal with future challenges through all this, as to the result of the webpage competition is not that important comparing to it. To provide a high quality platform offering divert materials for the students to learn is the only way to prepare the students for the twelve year compulsory education. After all, it is  the overall development of a person that the future world would like to see . Starting from collecting historical documents from the Taipei Public Library Beitou Branch, students have learn ed how to research , collect data, analyze data, interview , record , edit data, write reports, construct a webpage and a lot more. All these skills may have been obtained through toil and tears, yet with these skills that the students now possess- organizing, applying to daily life, and problem solving skills, I believe they are ready to take upon the challenge that the twelve year compulsory education and the world have awaiting them.

Rome wasn’t built in a day!

“Green Building” is really a profound knowledge
As only fifth graders, our power is limited

Luckily, we have teachers with patience to guide us
A lot of great people are also willing to lend us a hand

Because of their help, even if there were difficulties along the way
We gave it all our courage and effort

The Last Harvest

Problems that we faced

Problems that we faced

(1) Insufficient time: Case studies doesn’t only pay attention to the result, but also the way it was recorded. So, starting from the interviews, recordings, art work, filming, designing the program system, editing, and the final test-run of the webpage, were all filled with challenges. We even had to redo the webpage when we finished it the first time because the whole typesetting and color wasn’t satisfying enough. However, within these problems that we faced, we learned to plan it out and go along with the designated time limit. To keep going along with the schedule, we learned to share working loads and discuss when needed. During each discussion, we recorded everything down so that we knew what we did and what to do in the future. 

(2) Quitting of team members: Because there were a lot of places to visit and also rehearsals, discussions to be made, so a lot of the weekend time were taken up. We had to ask for leaves from our artistic classes, so it isn’t odd for some parents to question whether or not such a project would affect our grades or not. Whenever we encountered such a problem with worried parents, the teacher would patiently explain to the parents in search for their supports. Yet some members had personal reasons and quitted throughout the middle. Indeed such happenings will affect us, but we insisted to keep going on because we really wanted to finish this project, it is our belief.

(3) Webpage revised again and again: This is our first time entering such a contest, so from writing the system to typesetting, form, capacity of files were all problems that we had to face. We could only ask for improvement within one fault after another. After getting off school, we would go and ask for help from classmates and teachers. On the weekends, we would ask for the instructors’ advice, but there were technical problems that were really hard to understand, so we could only learn and do it at the same time. The final report was the hardest part. To put all that we have done over the past six months together into a paper really killed our brain cells.

(4) Unfamiliar with interviewing: Making an interview and recording for us aren’t easy. However, after practices with our instructors and parents plus listening to and watching the recordings, we improved gradually.

(5) Too much data to organize As the deadline came closer and closer, the difficulty only grew tougher and tougher. The biggest challenge was the organizing of all the data and the final presentation of the webpage. Although we kept in contact through email and phone, still we had problems with not being able to integrate some information that we have. After full discussion with each other, we came to an agreement. A few unsolvable problems we either took a vote to keep it or leave it or otherwise ask the instructors to help. This project is the biggest homework that we’ve ever done, but also one that we learned the most from.

2012.12.13 Educational Extension Activities (17)
After the script is settled, we started rehearsing. At first, we talk with our script in our hands. Because we were not familiar standing in front of the camera, so we acted like robots and had several NGs. Finally, our teacher came up with a new tip. She wanted up to practice in front of a mirror at home and then practice in front of our families, so we’ll act more spontaneous when rehearsing altogether. However, the rehearsal turned out to be hilarious. Everybody couldn’t help laughing whenever someone read the line wrong. At last, even our teacher burst out laughing with rest of us. After the training of the teacher, Jer-An and Yun-Tung started to act like professional commercial stars.

In this way, our school brothers and sisters can also understand the meaning of green building through the performance.

2012.12.25 Educational Extension Activities (22)
On December 25th, the team of “The Green Miracle” held a fun and interesting activity. We performed a short play in Ren class of the first grade. I think we did a great job and won a thunderous applause. I thought that’s because we spend so much time practicing to get such a great result. And then, we held an exhibition at the science hallway. Beautiful models were made by every member of “The Green Miracle,” especially the huge model that we put a lot of efforts in. Many classmates left encouraging words after visiting the exhibition which made our day. We also introduced the exhibition by ourselves and put interactive computer games in the exhibition.

2012.12.25 Educational Extension Activities (23)
The team of “The Green Miracle” not only promote “I Love Green Building” activities on campus, we’re also going to expand the activities throughout the neighborhood of our members.

Today was the first day of our school. At noon, the teacher told us that we almost finished constructing the webpage and thus asked us to check whether there were typos in the articles we put on the webpage, and also the electronic book made by The Green Miracle, the touring video of Beitou, and the promoting video of the green building. We, as well as teacher Lin Shu-hui and Lu Shi-Cheng, felt very touched about what we had achieved so far after seeing those videos we made. The teacher introduced many kinds of functions of the uploading software and also taught us a lot about using it to upload our webpage. The teacher said that it was possible the more the deadline approached, the more network jam there would be, so we uploaded part of the finished webpage first. It took like forever to upload just one webpage, especially when we uploaded the touring videos and the live puppet show video. Only when we had this experience of uploading the webpage on our own would we realize how hard it was to make those abundant webpages on the Internet. In the afternoon as we were about to leave school, the teacher sent us a piece of good news that our webpage had been successfully uploaded and passed the first-stage verification. Hurray! Our hardworking finally paid off! Although we passed the verification, the embedment of the videos were somewhat problematic. We kept working hard to fix the problem and check for typos of our webpage. We were determined to work hard until everything was done completely.

2013.2.19 Preliminary Completion of the Webpage
Today the teacher and we worked again on modifying the content of our webpage. From wearing short-sleeve T-shirts to sweaters, we spent almost half of a year to complete this project. We had wonderfully enriched life with great sense of achievement. We were really touched and happy! We also tried different types of computers to see if our webpage could be opened with them.

2013.2.24 Mission Completed!
The teacher and we once again modified the content of the webpage. We checked again whether there were typos and corrected them. Finally, our project and all works were all finalized and done.

2013.2.25 Final Test and Examination
