Penghu County Zhongxing Elementary School─Start with "Heart"

In school education, knowledge education is concrete, and often this type of education is clear. However, some educational content is abstract, but it is more difficult and demanding to teach than knowledge education. This course- The concept of "re-starting" comes from "repair", and this course is named "re-starting". I hope that "re-starting" means a new beginning, and I also hope that it starts from the "bottom of the heart" sincerely.
In the education field, it is inevitable to deal with behavioral problems of students outside of academic studies. There are many situations, and teachers often have to deal with them appropriately. Observing from school life, students in the class often run in the corridor, bump into someone, say sorry, and then the person leaves, leaving the fallen and stunned person on the floor. The monitor needs to be adjusted to deal with it; or the classmate reminds him out of kindness. , do not listen to advice, affect their own and other people's learning status in class, and even verbally abuse each other. After the teacher mediates, they apologize... There are many things like this. Do those students who have been hurt must say that it is okay? Is it true? It didn't matter? Or does it not matter now?
During the design activities, another opportunity came from the fact that the school’s curriculum base had many broken, defective 3D printed products and damaged laser cutting works that I wanted to reuse. "If something is broken, repair it if you can, and throw it away if you can't." This should be a common way for everyone to deal with it in life. Therefore, we plan to repair these items. This idea was conceived into five activities:
1. Things the movie taught me-COCO Nightclub
What if the relationship between brothers, sisters, husband and wife, colleagues, friends, bosses and subordinates... is broken? If you use the method of repairing items - "repair it if it can be repaired, throw it away if it can't be repaired", can it really be thrown away? Even if it is repaired, , can we go back to the past? Can we have no grudges? Or should we choose to hide them?
In my heart, should I just look forward? Or should I face all this with a tolerant heart? So, I first chose a cartoon - Coco Nightclub to match the theme of "Repair", and conducted it in the form of Chinese language teaching discussion, which transforms the film's wounded affection into hatred and even influence
Impacting the dreams of future generations, how the characters in the film forgive and be forgiven, how they release goodwill, and how they repair the subsequent relationship are activities of visual art. Since this meaning is abstract, therefore, through "rescue" "Bonsai Battle" will be presented in detail to allow students to have a better experience.

2. Battle to rescue potted plants
In the first activity, it was mentioned that "repair" is abstract, so we used the broken materials used in gardening and landscaping to recombine this activity. We broke the flower pots wrapped in rice bags with a hammer. The breaking action It symbolizes the words or actions that destroy the relationship, and then opens the rice bag. The broken flowerpot symbolizes the body and soul after the injury. Then the broken flowerpot is repaired and decorated. These two actions symbolize the act of repair and change. The use of Transformation-visualization techniques in Chinese teaching.

3. Family painting together
Family Painting Together—Activity Metaphor: What happens when verbal communication between family members decreases? Communicate using non-verbal messages
Pass, what are the difficulties? What situations or obstacles will arise when family members are not good at expressing themselves but want each other to understand their situation? (The metaphor or development that the activity hopes to bring out can be adjusted according to the awareness of the participating members)

4. Home safety protection network
Family safety protection network - activity metaphor: When each member of the family is willing to pay more for the family, the stronger the protection network is, the higher the psychological quality will be when facing challenges together (or when accompanying one of the family members to face challenges). Being able to show family support is more likely.

5. The world in my eyes
In some corners of the school, because the buildings are old and cracked, students create creations based on the cracks and the natural texture of the broken walls. However, this activity must also add the element of "interesting" and find it on their own. Topic, come up with ideas, discuss with teacher, start
Make miniature art installations.
