Teachers and RCEF teaching fellows at Dadong Primary School worked to develop two new courses for 5th and 6th graders. The course on thunderstorm safety was suggested after a villager was killed by lightening last month. Teaching fellows Yu Zhihua and Xia Jing have taught lessons about thunderstorm and lightening safety and have also organized 5th graders to research indigenous knowledge on this topic. We’re still trying to verify the soundness of some of the findings. For example, many locals believe that places where there are a lot of ants are more prone to be struck by lightening. After educating themselves, the students are going to educate villagers about how to stay safe in thunderstorms. They are creating posters which mainly rely on picture images, so that they can be more easily understood by villagers who don’t read well.

大洞学校的老师和RCEF的教育专员决定为五，六年级的学生新开两门课程。由于五月份村里发生了一起村民遭受雷电袭击致死的事件，所以开设了一门关于避雷的课程。教育专员Yu Zhihua 和Xia Jing在向学生传授雷电和避雷知识的同时，还将五年级学生组织起来调查当地居民在这一问题上积累的认识和经验。我们仍在评估调查结果的合理性——比如，许多村民认为有很多蚂蚁聚集的地方更容易遭受雷击。此外，学生们也把他们在课堂上学到的避雷知识传授给村民，为此他们特意制作了以图画为主的海报，方便部分文化程度较低的村民阅读。
