Towards a more ethnical development: a 'Musico-Development' opportunitymusicindevelopment
This document proposes a "musico-development" understanding to integrate music and development. It argues that music is central to African culture and development realities.

They brainstormed ideas, carefully designed and created tiles representing cultures from China, India, Samoa and more. The tiles were sewn together into a quilt and displayed on the wall to educate others about the cultural backgrounds of students in Room 13.
Room 13 students from many different cultural backgrounds studied various cultures and roles in society. They created cultural tiles representing important aspects of their cultures to display. The tiles included art from China, India, Maori culture and more. The students worked collaboratively to design, create and display the tiles as a cultural quilt to share their learning and celebrate their diverse classroom community.
Room 13 students from many different cultural backgrounds created a cultural tile quilt to showcase what they learned from their inquiry journey. Each student designed a tile representing an aspect of their own culture, such as korus, Chinese writing or henna designs. They faced challenges in securing tiles, but problem-solved by using fabric instead. With care and multiple drafts, the students transferred their designs onto the fabric tiles. They then sewed the tiles together into a quilt and added a wooden frame to display their work and represent the cultural diversity of Room 13.

前言
Motivation:
Our campus often has many stray dogs. They’ve been here so long it almost
seems like they are one part of the “Concordian” family. They come and go as they
please, and you can find them in all the corners of the Concordia campus.
Unfortunately, the dogs equal fleas. Many of the students love the dogs, but cannot
tolerate the fleas. It has been a constant struggle to decide if somebody should take
the dogs away. So we decided that we would de-flea the dogs in the campus, which
would not only help the dogs, but also let all of us have a clean and friendly campus.
過程
DAY 1 (8/31)
Making our blog
We chose a blog website call “Wretch” to make our blog. We are writing every
step of what we are doing and how everything turned out. We decided a lot of things
together, like what background we should use, because it had to be about dogs. Then,
we typed our own introduction like things we liked and our hobbies and what our
role was in DFC. Next after we told our class our plan, we used our blog to answer
their questions. They asked some questions like “How do you catch the dogs?” We
1
2. also included a video of what our teacher thought about our project after we started.
(The video is in Chinese.)
Finding our teacher for our DFC-謝恩琦 (Ms. Lilyann :D)
Finding our teacher that wanted to help us was a challenge because not many
teachers wanted to “run around and catch dogs.” At first, we asked our English
teacher-Mr.Schaff. But he said that he didn’t know how to catch dogs, and he only
knew how to catch cats. Maybe he’s afraid of the dogs. Then, we thought maybe
teacher Rebecca could help us, because she loved dogs. Unfortunately, she was in
Israel, and wouldn’t be back until almost September. Finally we decided to find
teacher 恩琦 (Lilyann), who is our art teacher. We debate if we could ask her,
because she probably doesn’t know how to catch dogs. At last, we decided to ask her,
because although she can’t help with the “catching dogs” part, we knew she would
support us, and try. Plus were planning to draw little bookmarks to make money. She
would help us a lot with that. So on July 25th, we wnet to ask her! She said yes.
Our plan at that moment
At first, we wanted to sell our bookmarks to make money for the dog flea
medicine. But later, after talking about it together, we decided to give them the cards
we made if they donated money because we were concerned that nobody would
actually buy the bookmarks. At the same time, we decided to change the bookmarks
into something more like little cards, because bookmarks were harder to draw, and
took longer.

3. Day 2 and 3 (9/1)~(9/2)
Drawing our cards
After deciding and talking over and over again about what we are going to do,
what was going to happen and many other complicated things, we started drawing
little cards!!! Never would we have known we would draw for nearly eighty days!!
We not only came every noon to draw cards, but also came on weekends that we
were free too. During these eighty days, our teacher had repeatedly told us, “I can’t
believe how slow you guys are drawing!” Because every noon we would only finish
one or two cards a person. Even though she joked about that everyday, we were
extremely thankful for her patience, and for letting us draw at her office.
Saturday, (9/1)
After discussing when we were free, we decided on a Saturday, September first.
This was the first time we ever did our DFC on a weekend drawing, and so of course,
it wasn’t entirely successful. We only made around four cards that day. We spent a
lot of time preparing to draw that day. We searched for nice quotes and bible verses
to put on our little cards and cut the paper into equal shapes and chose colors for the
papers. On that day, Shelly made a really beautiful little card that we all loved. It was
a hand-drawn card of a DFC facebook page, and it looked almost like a real one, but
much cuter!

5. Day 4 Day 5 (9/3)~(9/4)
Fundraising!!
We fundraised for three days. We fundraised in our own classes during break
time, and went to talk to teachers and asked them for money. Many teachers were
very generous and gave much, but we met many difficulties. For example, most of
the teachers had a homeroom class, and they wouldn’t be in their office during
noon-sleeping time, and more than once, we were stopped by many teachers asking
us why we were walking around during that time. Some of our classmates didn’t
want to give money to us, because they were also doing DFC, and were tight on their
money too.
Day One
This day was the first day of our fundraising. I brought a mickey mouse box to
put all our money in. Winnie and Shelly are in Class 8, so they started fundraising in
their class. Me and Jenny are in Class Ten, so we fundraised in our own class. On the
first day, Class 8 wasn’t successful, and nobody gave money because almost half of
their class was doing DFC too, but in different groups. For example, a group with my
friend Zoe in it was doing fundraising for an orphanage selling little handmade
Play-doh earphone plugs. Compared to our group, they gave something for the
money and we didn’t. (Because we only gave teachers little cards, otherwise we
would have never got enough.) So most of them did not end up giving money to our
group. As for our class, we got a surprisingly big amount of money. I think a lot of
people gave money from class ten is because they were surprised that even if they
gave just one or two NT, we thanked them all the same. I think that even it’s just a
little bit of money, it means as much. Next, during noon time, we went to the office
of the Junior 1 through Junior three homeroom teachers. In the offices, we were
really successful. Winnie seems to have a knack for convincing teachers and grown
ups to donate money for us. That noon, we met Teacher Rebecca who was the
homeroom teacher of Class 8 and loved dogs. She told us she would love to help us
fundraise the next day, and would tell her whole class about our project and would
help us to get money from Winnie’s class. She also offered to help us catch dogs once
we were done with the fundraising. We were very lucky to meet her!
This day, we got the total of 847 NT.
Day two

6. This day we were all very excited, because Teacher Rebecca was coming to help
us! We hoped that with her help, we would get enough money to buy flea
medicine.First we went to the English teacher’s office, where there she convinced
many people do donate money for our cause. After that, we went to the counselor’s
office, and during the walk there, we met two teachers, and because of Ms. Rebecca,
they also gave us money. At the counselor’s office, we met a teacher who informed
us that de-fleaing collars were much more cheap and convenient than the medicine
we decided to buy, and so, we thanked her a lot and took her advice. We changed
our plan to buying collars. That day, we got the total of 2800 NT. We were all very
happy because we never dared to think we would’ve been that successful.

7. Day 6 Day 7 (9/5) (9/6)
Catching the dogs
This day we came for the first time to catch the dogs. We were unsuccessful.
The dogs all ran away from us and disappeared. After around fifteen minutes, there
wasn’t a dog in sight. At that moment, we almost gave up. The dogs were just so
afraid of us! Even if we had food in our hands, they would still run away. But in the
afternoon, I came alone again with some food. There was a white dog under a school
bus, and I decided to try again.
I threw the food near the car and waited. For a long time, the white dog didn’t move.
But after around five minutes, it stuck his head out and quickly ate the biscuit. Then,
little by little, the dog came out! At that second, I had confidence again that if we
tried, we would succeed. They were just afraid a whole lot. If we had enough

The woman in the pink shirt was Teacher Rebecca. She offered to help us catch the
dogs.

Conclusion
We learned a lot of things in this week. Not only did we change the environment
of the campus, we really got know all the dogs. We could name every dog in the
campus and sometimes, when we are walking in the campus, we would look at the
dogs and we would say, “Hey! That’s little brown! Or that one’s called Mama.” It’s a
lot of fun to know the dogs well. It’s one thing to know there are dogs in the school,
and another to have once fed them and touched them. It was a great challenge and
experience.
