4. Problems We Had To Overcome
This is our first time to attend the international webpage match, also the first time for such a big match. We were very excited. When we started, we didn´t know how to choose the theme. There were many categories in the match. After several discussions, we decided to choose music and art. After choosing the theme, we started to split up and collect the details. The students were all careful when choosing the site and details. Everyday they used the after school time to collect the details and write the diary. We also used the holiday to visit Mr. Sun to introduce the diary. We also did the picture ourselves. After two months, our material was nearly finished and then we started to do the webpage. During the webpage making, our teachers were in charge of the design of the webpage. We were in charge of editing the words. We gained a lot.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
After the match, we felt a lot. Through two months effort, we collected all the material. Though designing the webpage was tough, we finally worked it out. We were all happy when we saw the final result. We enjoyed not only the result but also the processing. We learned the process from the books and got to know the cultural development of the leaf nerve. We felt the spirit of making a contribution and knew of the cohesive power.
6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
Many support the non-material culture relic, which belongs to an unknown folk art. We hope we can introduce more people this activity so that it continues to go on.
