The map of Hudi Community.
In order to let us better understand the geography of Hudi Community, Dean Yen compared Hudi community to an ok hand gesture. The circle part of the ok represents Hudi Community. The fingers around the circle are like the mountains that surrounded the community. The knuckle of index finger is compared to Mt.Shamao.
OK Hand gesture that is used to remember the map of community
At first we could not picture the map of Hudi Community in mind. Yet, after Dean Yen's explanation we got a better understanding of Hudi Community's geography. Using hand gesture to learn was a really effective learning method. In addition, we found the process to be very interesting. In a short amount of time, we were all familiar with the surrounding of Hudi Community.
