New Taipei City Fuxing Elementary School—BLUE not BLUE

The learning area of middle school students gradually expands from the campus to the community, starting with the introduction to the Little Blue Dress picture book and then leading to the entire cross-field course on indigo dyeing art. We begin to understand the cities, towns, counties, and industries in which we live, and explore the industries and innovations of our hometown in the social and comprehensive fields, and are exposed to career exploration courses such as industry professionals. Students also encounter many setbacks in their lives. How will you deal with low emotions when encountering setbacks? Will you give up or get up and keep trying? Through interviews with community indigo dyeing craftsmen, they talk about the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial process, and through the stimulation of various cross-field courses, they learn the steps of problem solving, from discovering problems → analyzing problems → solving problems → accepting the results, and find their own way to deal with depression.
Middle school students begin to learn indigo dyeing techniques, combining the fold-dye tie-dye and triangular splint snowflake twist developed from cross-domain aesthetics with the creative triangle stitching from cross-domain mathematics. They try to integrate the school-based butterfly curriculum into indigo dyeing creations, and construct the curriculum with SEL social emotional learning to overcome lows - BLUE or not BLUE. Through the process of dealing with frustrations encountered in Mr. Squirrel's bread lesson in the Mandarin language field, combined with interviews with craftsmen and the difficult experience of personally creating indigo dyeing works, and combining emotional education to write down the methods and feelings of overcoming difficulties in the indigo dyeing process, through course activities and texts, internalize your own positive way of dealing with frustrations, cultivate your own tenacious tolerance for frustration, and motivate yourself to keep moving forward.
