1、The combination of project and school-based curriculum： |
||
Our research of miao original ethnic dance is the combination of different disciplines, including history, geography, culture, arts and computer. Students are trained to ask question, solve the problems, communicate with strangers, and cooperate with other team members. What’s more important, we study the status quo of local folk culture, design interview, write essays, and then make into web pages. All these activities strengthen students’ ability in listening, speaking, reading and writing. |

3、In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your InternationalSchools CyberFair project both on-line and in person. |
||
| We consider it our responsibility to make the public understanding the "history of Miao Original Ethnic Dance", thus we should play the role of "community ambassadors" and reveal it to others.We have tried to tell others what we know and introduced it to school mates and villagers. We realize our research result in the form of signboards, as well as a homepage hosted by the school website. Apart from being a resource for countryside education, the homepage also allows citizens to deepen their understanding of the local art through the Internet. The website we make is believed to make more people know about original ethnic dance. | ||

6、Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises (Optional) |
||
| We have got a better knowledge of Miao original ethnic dance. Though it seems popular nowadays, it is dying out on the earth. Miao seniors tell us that because of busy farm work, miao people have no mood in singing and dancing, expect for important festivals. They even don’t wear their ethnic group’s customs. The original ethnic traditions may have no offspring. Luckily, our government has realized the importance of this problem and carries out a series of policies to protect original ethnic culture. We hope our website can contribute to the protection of Bijie tradition and also our province-Guizhou. Miao people’s passion and hospitality really impressed us a lot. | ||
