Taoyuan Municipal Longxing Junior High School — Toast Your Imagination! Creative Toast Aestheticians

With the 12-Year Competency Education Curriculum Guidelines emphasizing "core competency orientation" and "interdisciplinary integrated learning," this course starts with students' familiar daily dietary experiences, combining English, home economics, and aesthetic education. Through the theme of "Creative Toast Painting," students learn, explore, and express themselves in real-life situations. The course uses "Food as Art" as its core concept, transforming food from a simple necessity into a creative medium, guiding students to use common ingredients to create aesthetically pleasing works and experience the joy and value of food design. Through the process of observation, design, creation, sharing, and reflection, students cultivate aesthetic literacy and innovative thinking, thereby enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
In terms of English learning, the course is designed based on the principle of task-based learning. Through activities such as ingredient identification, production process and presentation of results, students can use English naturally in specific operational situations, improve their listening and speaking skills and communication confidence, and practice the language learning spirit of "learning by doing".
In terms of home economics education, the curriculum integrates dietary education and life skills training, guiding students to understand the characteristics of ingredients, pay attention to food hygiene and safety, and learn to use simple kitchen tools correctly, so as to establish healthy eating concepts and self-care abilities.
In terms of aesthetic education, the course guides students to perceive aesthetic elements in life through activities such as color matching, image design, and composition, cultivating their aesthetic ability and creative expression, and allowing aesthetic education to be naturally integrated into daily life.
In addition, the curriculum design emphasizes collaborative learning and diverse abilities, encouraging students to share ideas and appreciate others' work in group interactions, cultivating an attitude of respecting differences, empathy and mutual assistance, and teamwork, and practicing the core concept of "spontaneity, interaction, and mutual benefit" in the twelve-year compulsory education.
