The curriculum map comes from Xizhijie Elementary private school in the No.1

Avenue School District. These different calendar activities and lesson plans were

created for the sixth grades classroom at Xizhijie Elementary. The number of students

are 35. We hope the plan can help those students to reduce their learning pressures and

build a healthy relationship with their peers and teachers. The plan also focuses on

guiding students to form a better life habit, which is more likely to obtain an effective

learning in the future.

Daily Sports Journal Sharing

1.Different physical activities that promote students to learn how to cooperate

with each other and make their own team and have more opportunities to

experience school life

We provide different sports, such as badminton, basketball, Ping-pong, relay race

game, running, soccer and volleyball for each week. Students need to choose 5 peers to

work with them and each new week, we will change the game and new partners. When

students play sports, they need to share their feelings in the beginning of the class and

complete their daily journal.

The daily journal is really important for the first month. Students can record their

body development, such as muscle development by doing different sports, how their

body become strong, and how those physical activities help them to avoid diseases. For

students’ physical development, they are supposed to learn new sports and increase
PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 6

their interests in doing exercise. Students should change their ideas about sports and

become more professional for each sport.

Also, those students need to compete with each other, which can improve their

motivation because they really want to win so that they are willing to spend time on

training after school. They can learn more sports knowledge and develop their interests

in the future. Additionally, those sports can bring a better body development in the

futures.

Involving in different social topic

2.Students focus on different social topics and study with their groups to share

what they found about their topic and provide more effective and outside

resources.

Here are several topics that students can choose: poverty, health care, school

climate, school bullying, unequal education, discrimination, and immigration. Students

need to find the topics they are really interested and each group are 5-6 persons. Each

student is supposed to make contribute for their own groups. In the meeting class,

students need to share what they found about their topic. Then, when each groups finish

their presentation, other students have opportunity to come up with their confusion and

the presentation students can create small interesting quiz for other students to test what

they learn from their presentation.

For students researching, they need to understand the definition, why, the ways of

solving, and what they can do. They can compete which groups students obtain more
PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 7

information and provide more details to express their personal perspectives. In the

activities, students can learn team contribution and how to have a team thinking. They

should help each other and share more ideas that they found from website, news, or

journals. Those resources they could share with each of their peers so that every student

can obtain more knowledge and open their eyes.

Positive and Negative Emotional Sharing

3.Students can share different emotions by their personal experiences. They need

to understand the reason and learn a right way to solve their negative emotions

Students can join different clubs and activities to rich their personal experiences.

But for each clubs, we will use knock-out system, which can stimulate student to work

hard for their clubs. Each week, we will choose 3 the worst clubs to be eliminated. The

scoring including:

 Classmates voting

 Whether the clubs have new and creative ideas

 How clubs help students to rich school life

 The clubs’ contribution for school festivals

 Each member’s participation

The competition will cause students’ emotional change because some of they are

unsatisfied the results and they have to give up their clubs and start over, which is a

huge challenge for 6 grades students. In the process, students can learn how to

encourage each other and spread positive emotions to their members because they are
PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 8

team (Gayed, et al. 2018). They should understand how important to work together and

build a harmonious relationship with each other (Gayed, et al. 2018). They can learn

overcome difficulties together in the process.

In the end, those students have to share how do they feel about club life and what

they learn from failure or success. Also, those students need to apply their experiences

they learned to their daily life. Then, they can give each members a evaluation about

their negative emotional control and how do they deal with a positive emotions as well.

The Standard of Healthy Dining Hall Creation

4.Students are supposed to create their own diet contribution by Dining Hass’s

guidance and they can understand the importance of nutrition.

Students need to eat 3 times a week in school dining hall and for each meal, they

are supposed to record what they eat and how many calories they intake (Mazzola,

Moore & Alexander, 2017). Here are some choices for students to select their own

nutrition plates (Dietary Guidelines, 2015).

 Vegetables: lettuce, potato, bean sprout, cabbage, carrot, onion, baby corn,

celery, broccoli, spinach, and potato

 Fruit: Strawberry, watermelon, orange, banana, hami melon, grape, apple

 Fat free milk, 1% of milk, chocolate milk, soymilk

 Eggs

 Meat: beef, pork, chicken, shrimp

 Water or lemon water

PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 9

 Beard: whole grain, seeds, white

 Rice and noodles

 Sandwich and pizza

Each student come to our school dining hall will obtain a first guidance for food

contribution and they can learn how pick their food by themselves gradually. They

should write their nutrition report. In the end of the week, they need to share their results

and compare what they learn about food introduction.

They are supposed to finish each week’s quiz about food and nutrition so that they will

become more familiar with healthy food and unhealthy food. They also need to have

their own reflection about how to improve their health and the understanding of

different types of food. They also should know about daily calories absorbtion. Then,

they complete their own nutrition plates. For each plate, they have different nutrition

ingredient, so they can communicate with what they eat and what kind of food is the

best for their body nutrition and development.

Intellectual games promote students brain development

5.Students can learn a better thinking patter and develop their creative and

critical thinking by joining math competition training, chess training, Lego clubs,

etc.

Students obtain a free after school program for 3 days each week in the month.

They can choose to different intellectual groups. For every two weeks, they will have a

competition to show their ability. For example, if students take part in Lego clubs, the
PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 10

second week, they need to show their Lego model to us and tell us how do they made

it with their peers and teachers will chose the best model and give reward to the best

groups. If students choose math competition clubs, the second week, they will have a

math test. Students need to obtain a high grade and top, second, third students will

obtain a rich reward, which is a effective way to encourage students to work hard.

In the month, we focus on helping students to train their brain development and

creativity. In the plan, it is free for students to choose whatever they want, such as video

games, puzzles, Lego, robot building, math competition, science topics, chess, etc.

Therefore, they have more time to think and find their interests, which can stimulate

their potential abilities as well. In the of the month, students need to show their works

to their classmates and share what they learned from the club they join.

Understand the real motivation and recognition about ourselves

6.Students learn make a planning for their dreams, goals, and future life. They

need to understand their motivation and what is the strongest thing to support

them.

For the plan, we guide and encourage students to finish some new things that they

never try before, such as adventures, school camp, read poems or any famous books,

and design a future planning by themselves. Each weekend, students are organized to

join these activities. We create motivation for those students and help them to overcome

difficulties in the process. For after school programs, students just need to spend 40
PRESENTATION CURRICULUM MAP 11

minutes to learn different subjects three times a week, such as new language learning,

math, sciences, literature, and history learning.

Students need to have a basic understanding for those subjects and they should

finish their own projects. They can research resources from library, read newspapers,

magazines, or using computer. Then, students should make a conclusion about what

they do about their own subject and share their learning experiences.

For outdoor activities, such as school camp and adventures games, students need

to develop their independent thinking. In each game, it is impossible for students to

avoid difficulties so that they need to think really hard and recognize how do they deal

with those difficulties and what makes them to insist. After the games, they should have

a correct recognition and what they learn from the experience. Then, they require to

integrate their life and how those thing they experienced can help them to build a better

life. In the end of the month, students are required to make a conclusion about what

they learned in the month and share their changing and what kind of people they really

want to become.
