` Student Sample Daily Meteorology Diary

`

` Not Knot’s Knot Games Blackout Knots All players have a piece of rope. Assign a specific knot. Shut out lights for a specified time and see how adept group is in the darkness. Vary knots called and time lights are out. Blindman's Knot The students are blindfolded. The leader passes down the line, holding a piece of cord knotted in one of the familiar knots. Each student may feel it for ten seconds to discover which knot it is. The students are then provided with a cord. At the word "Go" each blindfolded player makes the knot they consider the right one. The quickest (if correct) wins. Bowline/Sheet-bend Draw Have the students divide into pairs. Each pair lines up across from each other. Each student is given a piece of rope long enough to tie around their waist and leave a couple of extra feet. These ropes should be on the ground by the student’s feet. At the GO signal, each student picks up their rope and ties a bowline around their waist. Then they join the rope with their partners rope using a sheet-bend. They then back up until the ropes become taught, lean back and hold their hands in the air. Chariot Race When you get on to teaching the square lashing a good game is the chariot race. The students are divided into teams (of a fairly small number) and each team is given a chair and two staves. They then have a fixed period (say fifteen minutes) to build a chariot which simply involves square lashing each of the staves to either side of a chair so that they extend equally in front and behind of the chair. Warn students that it is vital that the lashings are very tight. Then set up a race track, if space is limited then you will probably have to have each team running one at a time and time each, however if you can hold the race in a larger space it is possible for all teams to race together. One member of each team sits on the chair and the other team members must carry the chair by the staves only and run around the course. In running with the chair, any bad lashings will be disclosed since they will become undone. A suitable penalty should be imposed for any team that drops their passenger. This game always proves to be most entertaining. Knotting Baseball Same teams as baseball, but no bat or ball. Pitcher and batter each have a piece of rope. Pitcher calls name of knot and throws his rope to anyone in the field. If batter reaches first with knot tied correctly, he is safe. If knot tied (correctly) by fielder, reaches first before batter, he is out. If batter cannot tie knot called, he is out. If fielder cannot tie knot called, batting side scores one run whatever else happens. Fielders can then return ropes to second, third or home to "force" base runners. Make sure pitcher throws rope to all fielders and not too frequently to first base (throw in a counterclockwise fashion starting at first base). Knotting Circle Players sit in circle. One ties a knot in a bit of rope and drops it at the feet of one of another group, who must name the knot correctly and say if it is tied right before the tier has run around the circle. Whichever wins ties the next knot, and so on. Knotting Relays Give all students a chance to compete and practice. Use basic knots tied in a useful way: bowline around the waist, tie a sheet bend using two different thickness of rope, tie a clove hitch around a spar or pole.

` -Day 3: 1/23 Thursday MANYUEYUAN TRIP Map of the Park: General map of the park and walking paths. Do not deviate from these paths. There are several points where you can access a huge local network of paths. While there may be many hikers doing so, entering these paths could result in fines for large groups, so pay attention to marked warning signs. Do not allow buses to pass this lot! Road will become very narrow afterwards. From the parking lot, students should use the river-side path to go toward park.

` Using a Compass – Orienteering Speech #1 Greetings ladies and gentlemen. My name is _______________. Today I am going to tell you how to use a compass. First, you hold the compass flat in front of you. Second, you look at the magnetic needle. It points north. Third, you set your bearing with the orienting arrow. Fourth, you pick a landmark and go in that direction. Fifth, you check your compass every now and then. Finally, you know how to use a compass. Go on a treasure hunt with your friends! Orienteering Route 1 Lost in Qingpu – Compass Challenge Start at the north side of the NWE Park. I. Go west to the intersection. II. At the intersection, go north to the next intersection. III. Draw a ‘1’ on the map where you are now. Then go west to the next intersection. IV. Draw a ‘2’ on the map where you are now. Then go northwest to the next intersection. V. Draw a ‘3’ on the map where you are now. Then go southwest to the next intersection. VI. Draw a ‘4’ on the map where you are now. Then continue southwest to the next intersection. VII. Draw a ‘5’ on the map where you are now. Then go northwest to the next intersection. VIII. Draw a ‘6’ on the map where you are now. Then continue northwest to the next intersection. IX. Draw a ‘7’ on the map where you are now. Then go north northeast to the next intersection. X. Draw a ‘8’ on the map where you are now. Then go southwest to the next intersection. XI. Draw an ‘9’ on the map where you are now. Then go northwest. XII. Find the end goal in the riverside park! intersection compass riverside park For Experienced Classes

` LIVING STRATEGO: This the real-life manifestation of our Stratego board game into a breathing physical game of war and strategy! It is important to teach this as a SPOKEN game. You need to be aggressive in enforcing that! - RULES: - If you don’t speak your rank or at all, you are eliminated automatically. - If someone tags you and you run away, you are eliminated automatically. - The game, which at this point you should be familiar with, two teams face off until a goal is accomplished, or the other team is all eliminated. In an encounter, which happens 1 on 1, is started upon tagging the other player. The attacking player asks “What’s your rank? I’m a captain.” “I’m a marshal. You have been eliminated.” Winner is determined based on rank, highest rank wins except in special unit cases. - If a player is eliminated, they may return to their home base (Teacher) to receive a new rank card. S: “Teacher, I was eliminated by Sunny who was a colonel.” T: “What rank were you?” S: “I was a sergeant.” T: So sad. You are now a major. Give the student a randomly shuffled card from the remaining deck. >>> This will lead into Living Stratego: THE FLAG & Stratego: KING OF THE HILL STRATEGO RANKS

` Special Game Rules: - Only the miner eliminates bombs. Bombs eliminate everyone else. But bombs cannot tag anyone. If a bomb tags someone else, the bomb is eliminated. - Only the spy, bomb or another marshal can eliminate a marshal. Spy eliminates marshal if tagging first, marshal eliminates spy if tagging first. If disagreement ensues, then paper-scissors-stone. - If two of the same rank meet, they are both eliminated. - Lying is okay in this game until two players meet in actual battle. That’s called counterintelligence or being a good spy!

` Additional Rules for Teachers 1. All students must obey the 7 rules WITHOUT FAIL. Any student who fails to adhere to rules forfeits their knife for the remainder of the lesson, possibly permanently. Teacher judgement required. 2. Let students wear gloves. 3. Knives are only given to those who demonstrate self-control and responsibility. 4. Users should be well awake and not tired or clumsy. 5. In the event of cut or puncture, stay calm and send to First Aid immediately. 6. Always review the safety rules with students before giving out any knives. 7. All knives need to be returned at the end of the lesson. Check the number of knives at the beginning and end of the knife sections. If there are less than before, the class may not continue. A student is likely attempting to sneak a knife or there is a knife somewhere on the ground. It is imperative for our school that knives are strictly controlled! 1. Blood Circle! 2. Always carve away from yourself. 3. Knives are tools, not toys. 4. Grip the knife with a fist 5. Knives can only be open when we are sitting down and ready to cut. 6. A sharp knife is a safe knife. A dull knife is a dangerous knife. 7. Only open one tool at a time. Seven steps to keep us safe using knives

` Additional teaching notes: ⁃ We don't use our knives to carve living trees. ⁃ Our knives are not weapons. They cannot be used for this. ⁃ Like scissors, we only pass and walk with closed knives. ⁃ Never put pressure on be back of the blade, it can close on your fingers. ⁃ Always think, “If my knife slips away from me, will it hit me or someone else?” If yes, change your position. Activity One: Sharpening our knives Activity Two: Whittling
