The lesson is original classroom material informed by official typhoon, heavy-rain, and tropical-storm safety guidance.
Ming is a junior high school student in Taiwan. On Monday morning, his teacher says a typhoon may come this week. Ming does not feel worried at first. He thinks, 'It is only rain. I can still play games at home.' But after school, he sees many people buying water and food at the store.
At home, Ming's father checks the weather update on his phone. The news says the typhoon may bring strong wind and heavy rain. Ming's mother makes a simple list: drinking water, bread, fruit, medicine, batteries, and a flashlight. Ming helps charge the phones and power banks.
Then the family checks the balcony. There are two flowerpots, a small chair, and an old box outside. Dad says, 'Strong wind can blow these things away. They may hurt people.' Ming moves the flowerpots inside and puts the chair near the wall.
Before bed, Ming puts the flashlight on the table. He also puts his school bag away from the window. He learns that getting ready is not scary. It is a smart way to keep the family safe.
The typhoon arrives on Tuesday night. The wind is loud, and the rain hits the windows. Ming wants to look outside, but his mother says, 'Stay away from the windows. Broken glass can be dangerous.' The family sits in the living room and listens to the news.
At ten o'clock, there is a power outage. The lights go off, but the family is ready. Ming takes the flashlight from the table. His sister uses a small battery light. They do not open the door because the wind is too strong.
For a short time, the wind becomes quiet. Ming says, 'Maybe the typhoon is over.' His father says, 'Not yet. Sometimes the weather looks calm in the middle of a storm. We must wait for an official message.' Ming nods and keeps listening to the update.
During the night, the family drinks water, eats simple food, and stays in the safest room. Ming feels a little nervous, but he also feels proud because everyone prepared well.
The next morning, the rain becomes lighter, but the street near Ming's home is full of water. Ming wants to go outside and take pictures. His father stops him and says, 'Flood water is dangerous. You cannot see holes or broken things under the water.'
The news says some mountain roads are closed, and people near rivers should be careful. The teacher sends a message to the class group: 'Stay home. Do not go to rivers, beaches, or mountains today. Help your family clean only when it is safe.'
Ming helps his mother clean the balcony after the wind stops. He wears shoes and gloves. He sees leaves blocking a small drainage ditch near the building, so he tells the building guard. The guard thanks him and cleans it safely.
In the afternoon, Ming calls his grandmother. She lives alone nearby. He asks, 'Grandma, do you have water and food?' She says yes. Ming smiles. He understands that typhoon safety is not only about one person. It is also about checking news, helping family, and caring for neighbors.
