Analysis of Taiwan's natural geographical environment and economic development characteristics shows that Taiwan has been an indivisible and sacred territory of the motherland since ancient times.

Structural Analysis

The content of this section of the textbook mainly corresponds to the following requirements in the "Geography Curriculum Standards": point out the location and scope of Taiwan on the map, and analyze its natural geographical environment and economic development characteristics ; Explain that Taiwan Province has been an indivisible and sacred territory of the motherland since ancient times.

The teaching materials in this section are divided into three parts in terms of content. The first part talks about "the sacred territory of the motherland". It uses a combination of narrative texts and activity texts to mainly introduce the scope and location of Taiwan. It allows students to use a scale to measure the actual straight-line distance between Taiwan and the mainland. From the geography subject Explain the issue of the "sacred territory of the motherland" from the perspective of the motherland, and use the facts of crustal changes in geological history and historical and cultural materials to further explain the close connection between Taiwan and the motherland from the perspective of time development.

The second part mainly introduces Taiwan’s natural conditions and rich products. The richness of products is directly related to its superior natural conditions. Therefore, the textbook mainly introduces Taiwan's products in the narrative text, and combines the activity texts to ask questions to verify its rich products. It also provides "distribution of temperature and precipitation", "southern section of Taiwan Mountains" "Vertical distribution of vegetation" schematic diagram to clarify the causal relationship between natural conditions, products and resources.

The third part mainly talks about Taiwan’s economic development. The textbook uses narrative texts and schematic diagrams to explain the development and change process of Taiwan's economy from agriculture and agricultural product processing to the export processing industry, as well as the influencing factors of economic development at different stages. This part of the textbook is closely connected with the previous part on natural conditions, especially the development stage focusing on agriculture and agricultural product processing. The reading materials analyze the development and change process of Hsinchu Science Park, and use cases to illustrate again the development process of Taiwan's export-oriented economy and the positive role of local encouragement policies in promoting economic development. Activity texts are not only a supplement to narrative texts, but also an important part of cultivating students' skills and abilities. Students can summarize and summarize by themselves after reading the industrial distribution characteristics map, and under the guidance of teachers, they can also identify the factors that affect industrial distribution. Therefore, relevant content about Taiwan's industrial distribution is arranged in the activity text. Through three small questions, accompanied by distribution diagrams, students are gradually guided to think and analyze in a progressive form, and cultivate students' ability to analyze problems. Regarding the changes in Taiwan's industrial structure, the textbook does not mention it in the narrative text, but arranges it in the activity text. Students are first asked to draw a line chart of the changes in the industrial structure. On the basis of the drawing, they analyze the characteristics of the changes in the industrial structure, which not only cultivates It improves students' skills in drawing statistical charts, further deepens their knowledge, and expands students' learning space.

The above three parts highlight the connection between knowledge, and also better reflect the requirements of the "Geography Curriculum Standards". When studying Taiwan, we should first clarify its political territorial ownership issues, and then discuss Taiwan's natural conditions and its economic development characteristics. This is the main idea in compiling the textbook in this section.

Content Analysis

1. Regarding "the scope and territorial ownership of Taiwan Province", the textbook uses narrative texts and activity questions 1, accompanied by a map of Taiwan Province, to enable students to learn from geography From a disciplinary perspective, we clarify the political territorial ownership of Taiwan Province. Combined with the first question in Activity 1, students can make it clear that in addition to Taiwan Island, Taiwan Province also has many surrounding small islands, focusing on finding the Diaoyu Islands and explaining their ownership. The third sub-question of Activity 1 is to use students to measure the straight-line distance on the ground to illustrate the close and indivisible relationship between Taiwan and the mainland. Activity question 2 uses time development as a clue and explains the inseparable relationship between Taiwan and the mainland based on historical materials such as geological history, society, and culture.

2. Regarding "the location of Taiwan Province", the textbook focuses on the location and relative position of the sea and land through narrative texts and the second sub-question in Activity Question 1, combined with the map of Taiwan Province, emphasizing this The two aspects are to help students better understand the issue of territorial ownership. Regarding its latitude and location, the textbook uses the fourth question of Activity 1 to guide students to observe the map and find out where the Tropic of Cancer passes through Taiwan Island. Determining the location of a certain area through important parallels is a better positioning method. The textbook hopes to cultivate students' ability to understand the area through activity questions.

3. Regarding "Products and Resources of Taiwan Island", the teaching materials are in the form of a combination of narrative texts and activity texts, and are accompanied by a map of "Distribution of Main Agricultural and Mineral Products of Taiwan Island" to illustrate the richness of Taiwan Island. Resources and properties and their distribution. From the perspective of natural resources, the textbook mainly lists forests, minerals and aquatic products, and focuses on the "Sea of ??Forests" and "Southeast Salt Bank" in Activity Question 1. From the perspective of products, the textbook mainly mentions some agricultural products, and guides students through the first and third questions in Activity 2 to explain what agricultural products are produced in Taiwan Island? In what areas are agricultural products and forests mainly distributed? In addition, the textbook also comes with two pictures: "Yushan is the highest peak in eastern my country" and "The scenery of Sun Moon Lake in Alishan is charming". These two pictures are the epitome of the beautiful scenery of Taiwan Island, which can illustrate that Taiwan Island is rich in tourism resources.

4. The textbook uses short narrative texts and activity texts, accompanied by corresponding maps and schematic diagrams, to reflect the causal relationship between natural conditions, products, and resources.

The second and third questions in Activity 2 and Activity 3 all illustrate this relationship. When analyzing these questions, you can combine the "Temperature and Precipitation Distribution Map", "Taiwan Province Map" and "Taiwan Island's Main Agricultural and Mineral Products Distribution Map" to explain the reasons for Taiwan's rich products and resources from the topography and climate aspects. and distribution characteristics. The textbook uses the "Vertical Distribution Map of Vegetation in the Southern Section of the Taiwan Mountains" and the "Distribution Map of Temperature and Precipitation" to explain why Taiwan's forests are rich in tree species. It can be seen from the temperature conditions that Taiwan's mountains are in tropical and subtropical areas, so the foothills should be covered with tropical vegetation. As the altitude increases, the temperature gradually decreases, and the vegetation changes into subtropical vegetation - temperate vegetation - subarctic vegetation - alpine shrubs and meadows, etc. Therefore, vertical changes in climate cause vertical changes in vegetation, making the forest tree species richer .

5. Regarding "the development and characteristics of Taiwan's economy. When analyzing Taiwan's economy, we should start from its natural conditions and resources. It shows that the early economy was mainly agriculture and agricultural product processing. With the continuous development of society, the population Rapidly growing, an economy based solely on agriculture cannot meet Taiwan's local needs, and the focus of Taiwan's economic development has begun to change. The textbook uses the "Changes in Taiwan's Export Trade Structure" statistical chart to intuitively illustrate the transformation of Taiwan's economy from the past to agriculture and agricultural product processing. From the development to the current export-oriented processing industry, the "Favorable Factors for Taiwan's Export-Oriented Economic Development" diagram is used to intuitively explain the favorable conditions that can promote Taiwan's economic changes. In addition to what is shown in the diagram, you can also add One factor, namely Taiwan's policy of encouraging the development of export processing, is also an important factor in Taiwan's rapid economic development. In order to better explain the characteristics and changes of Taiwan's economy, the textbook uses Hsinchu Science Park as a case to further illustrate Taiwan's exports. The development of Taiwan's export-oriented economy has better supplemented the policy factors not included in the diagram of "Taiwan's export-oriented economic development"

6. Regarding "the distribution characteristics and influence of Taiwan's industry." Factors". This part of the teaching material appears in the form of an activity text with a distribution map of "Taiwan Island's major industrial centers" and a schematic diagram of "Factors affecting industrial distribution", and the three questions in the activity text are set in a progressive form. Solution No. When answering questions 1 and 2, pay attention to the distribution map of "Taiwan Island's major industrial centers" to get the answer. After students get their answers, teachers should further guide students to think based on the "Map of Taiwan Province" and the schematic diagram of question 3. Complete the third question.

7. Skill training on "Drawing Statistical Charts". This textbook not only guides students in interpreting statistical charts, but also provides students with information on "Taiwan's Three Categories" in the final activity question. The numerical changes of "Industrial Output Value Composition" are drawn, and some polylines are drawn. Students continue to complete the unfinished polyline parts. Through this question, students are trained to draw statistical graphs. During training, teachers should pay attention to instructing students how to determine the three types of industries based on the legend. The color of the line, how to find the abscissa and ordinate in the chart based on the data given in the chart. After the students complete this chart, the teacher should guide the students to combine the drawn line chart with the "Changes in Taiwan Province's Export Trade Structure" line chart. , analyze and explain the characteristics of Taiwan's industrial structure changes.
