2. Use local environmental resources to enhance students’ environmental awareness

Environmental protection is a basic national policy, and environmental issues arise every time It educates and affects each of us silently. To cultivate students' awareness of environmental protection from an early age, off-campus environmental resources are the most intuitive teaching materials. For example, in the "I Love My Hometown"? Xinpu? Environmental Protection Special Research Comprehensive Practice Activity organized by the sixth grade, students learned about the current environmental situation of Xinpu, offered ideas and suggestions, and were willing to contribute to Xinpu's environmental protection. During the activity, environmental volunteers went to parks, roadsides, rivers, stations and other public places to clean up garbage, collect waste batteries, recycle waste paper, milk cartons, etc., expanding students' activities and broadening their horizons. . The use of off-campus environmental education resources enables students to more consciously form environmental awareness and enhance their sense of social responsibility.

Education is life, and life is education. As a place of long-term residence, it has a priority and profound impact on students' development. Students' clothing, food, housing and transportation all have local characteristics. It is a convenient and effective theme to use local famous and high-quality specialties to cultivate students' sense of closeness and pride in their hometown.

Xinpu Town is located in the north of Cixi and the south coast of Hangzhou Bay. It has more than 10 kilometers of golden coastline and is extremely rich in tidal resources, including various fish, shrimps, crabs, clams, mud snails, Haiguazi? ***More than 100 kinds of seafood treasures are famous inside and outside the province. Guests from Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo all like Xinpu seafood. Class 5 (2) of our school carried out a comprehensive practical activity with the theme of "I love seafood in my hometown". Through interviews, surveys, tastings, records, and sorting, students learned about the types, shapes, tastes, prices, functions and fishing of seafood in their hometowns.

In addition to seafood, Xinpu local products are also very famous, such as Haitian cotton, Xiandi watermelon, four-cornered red water chestnut, Zhejiang Ophiopogon japonicus, Zhejiang medicine Atractylodes, etc. Among them, they have the greatest influence, the highest output value, and the best economic benefits. The best ones are the loofah from Xinpu and the grapes from Liyang, Shengbei. In 2006, "Liyang" brand grapes became a famous specialty in Ningbo City and won the "Gold Award" for Zhejiang Province's Agricultural Specialties. In December of the same year, the Liyang Grape Planting Base was also named "Cixi Youth Quality Education Base." It is precisely based on these resource advantages that the theme comprehensive practical activities of "Going into the Fields" and "Experiencing the Grape Village" carried out by the third and fourth grade students in our school came into being. The students were very enthusiastic during the activity, and got to know the famous and high-quality specialties of their hometown by seeing, touching, tasting, taking photos, and taking notes in person, cultivating a sense of pride in their hometown.

The hometown of students? Xinpu has developed from a village in Haiyu into a modern emerging town on the bank of Hangzhou Bay. . The agricultural products here are rich, the industrial economy is developed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a prosperous scene. With the opening of the Hangzhou Bay Cross-sea Bridge and the development and construction of the Hangzhou Bay New Area, Xinpu has become a hot spot for development, and students are proud of it. This honor is inseparable from the hard work of our fathers. We use this as a course resource to guide students to choose content that interests them in life and carry out social practice activities. We established the comprehensive practical activity topic of "Ideals Flying in Hometown", set the activity themes jointly determined by student groups or teachers and students as sub-topics, and carried out a variety of comprehensive practical activities, based on "autonomy, cooperation, inquiry". Comprehensive practical activities allow students to understand the past of their hometown, understand the present, look forward to the future, continuously stimulate the creative spirit, and gradually enhance the sense of ownership, allowing students to continue to grow through experience and exploration, continue to mature through participation and integration into society, and understand the future.
