春節鞭炮製作 Chinese New Year--Firecrackers Making

鞭炮
　

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　年獸

雖然在台灣過年也很少放鞭炮了 在美國長大的小朋友們更不知道放鞭炮的由來

學習語言 文化真是一個重要的部分 適當的把文化轉化有趣成中文課程一部分 效果很好

我特別說了一個年獸的故事 最後再來做鞭炮 可以不用一定要做傳統的紅色鞭炮

製作過程他們非常專心 也很開心

已經下課了還欲罷不能想把彩色鞭炮越做越長

In modern days of Taiwan, people seldom let off firecrackers during Chinese New Year. Children who are born in the U.S. may never know why traditional firecrackers are used for. I told a story about Year monster before making firecrackers. Students could choose any color they want to make their own firecrackers instead of traditional red ones.

When my students made Chinese firecrackers, they were so engaged and had a good time. While it’s time to go home, they didn’t want to stop it and wanted to make their firecrackers as long as they can.

Learning a foreign language, one of the most important parts is learning its culture. Language teachers should add a cultural story according to special holidays. Or design some interesting cultural activities into their curriculum.

Sometimes parents' help in a hand-on activity in class is necessary especially for young children.
