Bilingual Health Class

The primary goal of this lesson plan is to educate the learners about disaster preparedness, with a particular focus on fire and earthquake safety measures.Taiwan and the Philippines face common natural disasters, primarily earthquakes, owing to their locations in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region prone to frequent seismic activity. According to data from the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) in Taiwan, the country experiences an average of 100 earthquakes per day, with around 2.8 quakes of magnitude 6.0 or higher annually. Similarly, the Philippines registers approximately 20 earthquakes per day, measuring 4.0 and above on the magnitude scale, as documented by the Philippine Seismic Network.

As the saying goes, “long illness makes the patient a good doctor”, frequent disasters have provided both countries with valuable experience. We aim to impart this knowledge to our learners, emphasizing the importance of being ready whenever these disasters happen to lessen casualties, especially among children who are the most vulnerable in any disasters. Our goal is to instill to the learners that safety is everyone’s responsibility, and through learning lifesaving skills, they can contribute to minimizing the impact of the disasters. Moreover, the intention is to empower the children by educating them about safety measures in case of fire emergencies. When children are well-informed,  they are less likely to be scarred by the traumatic event. Additionally, the lesson plan seeks to instill appreciation for the efforts of firefighters and impart essential values of responsibility and community care.

本課程計畫的主要目標是教育學習者有關備災的知識，特別關注火災和地震安全措施。 。根據台灣中央氣象局(CWB)的數據，該國平均每天發生100次地震，其中每年約發生6.0級或以上的地震2.8次。同樣，根據菲律賓地震台網的記錄，菲律賓每天記錄約 20 次地震，震級為 4.0 級及以上。

俗話說“久病成良醫”，頻繁的災害給兩國提供了寶貴的經驗。我們的目標是向學習者傳授這些知識，強調在災難發生時做好準備以減少傷亡的重要性，特別是在任何災難中最脆弱的兒童。我們的目標是向學習者灌輸安全是每個人的責任，透過學習救生技能，他們可以為最大限度地減少災難的影響做出貢獻。此外，目的是透過教育孩子們在發生火災緊急情況時的安全措施來增強他們的能力。當孩子們了解情況時，他們就不太可能因創傷事件而受到傷害。此外，課程計劃旨在灌輸對消防員努力的讚賞，並傳授責任和社區關懷的基本價值。
