AnonymousHi everyone,
In preparation for the seminar, please download and review the attached reading on "Chinese Philosophy." We will be asking you to participate in a debate from the point of view of different Chinese philosophical schools from the Warring States Period.

AnonymousMiranda,
I am so glad you already sent us info to read and prepare. One question are we going to be given all the reading material required or do we need to purchase it in advance.
AnonymousThanks Miranda, I am printing the readings for my pool-side enjoyment. I will post later.

AnonymousMiranda,
I will not have internet access after today, so I had to use Mary's while she posted. Do you have anything else I can read.

AnonymousAre you able to get on line yet?? I do not recall Mohism from the text books for 6th grade history - Do you? It is a brother love brother philosphy. How nice that would be. =:O
AnonymousMary I am getting some info together. I will call you so we can review it later. I'm still planning to come over if these flash floods would stop. Will discuss in the pool.

AnonymousThe morning session had much to offer. An idea that I can best bring into my sixth grade classroom is bringing up the letters that John Adams wrote to John Jay. My lowest level classes can chorally read the letter and write a response that Jay may have replied to use china as trade. I might not fully understand this. I need to look more into this.
AnonymousMy students could begin a truckers map. Placing pins at the spots where a story takes place. Allowing us to continually locate areas in Asia that we have read about. Having a large map of Asia in the classroom would allow my low level students to continually learn and relearn about the waterways, mountain regions which will motivate their interest in literature while promoting the 6th grade standards for history.

AnonymousI really enjoyed surfing through the first website listed http://depts.washington.edu/chinaciv
I think my students will enjoy it also because it if user friendly, simple for them. Questions are asked to prompt their thinking and then an answer is given with visual and written evidence is given to support the main ideas. I like it because it has links to maps and visuals of pictures. I am a visual person, it sticks to the brain, and a lot of my low learners and ELL kids can benefit from a site like this. I will definately be accessing this site when teaching about China. I recommend surfing this site.[Edit by="rosanna_elgohary on Jul 29, 5:59:52 PM"]I will continue to surf the other sites[/Edit]
AnonymousRosanna,
I agree with you regarding the website; websites like these help out our ELD students who need as many visuals to help them understand new concepts. The information is arranged in such a manner that it allows the teacher to have a good general idea of certain topics.

AnonymousIn response to Professor Ye's lecture, I would like to recommend these two websites:
On Chinese paintings: 古書畫 http://www.npm.gov.tw/dm2001/B/
On Chinese literature: 中國文人世界 http://tech2.npm.gov.tw/literature/
For teaching ideas, teachers can list several artists, poets, and other writers on the board. Let students choose a person to do research on, and give a brief report and presentation on the artist.
For Chinese language class level III, student can give a brief introduction on the artist/author, give the class the characteristics of the artist, and also use the artist's characteristics to re-create a picture/poem, and present to the class.
