Editor's Notes
#7:社交网络
What students wrote on board made me happy because of what it says about the community feeling in the classroom.
Tea tasting was in Tacoma. They love the adventure of going into an urban area without parents. Also the atmosphere is perfect for students.
Connect Chinese with feeling of independence, adventure, and connection with peers.
#10:Students are concerned with big questions: What is their purpose in life?
Tests? How they’re feeling emotionally and physically.
Give them vocabulary to talk about emotions in Chinese.
#11:Introduce Shanghai Restoration Project. Uproar in Heaven. Students will be willing to spend a lot of time to do something that is meaningful to them. Also helps them think about how they might integrate Chinese with other interests in the future. This student wants to double-major in music education and Chinese.
改编
#12:夜空中最亮的星. Capture the sentiments of young people. We performed it together.
Lyrics let you “pre-teach” vocabulary that will come up formally later on in curriculum.
#13:Where the picture comes from.
Dennis talks about majiang.
#17:This extends beyond simply using examples that you know relate to a student’s interests. I look for a deeper level and more integrated expression.
Provide venues for students to bring their other talents into the classroom: music instruments, art, singing.
When doing traditional art, let students express themselves.
Poetry. Do modern poems too. Let students choose poems from choices you give them. Research the poet.
