Self-introductions

[Madeline George]

I am Madeline George and I teach 8th Grade Language Arts in Imperial, California. One of our curriculum units focuses on WW2 and talks about the internment camps as well as the concentration camps.  In my class, we discuss Asian cultures as related to other reading topics and news events. So, I am always looking to gain more knowledge of cultures with which I am not familiar.

[Deborah Brittenham]

My name is Debbie Brittenham. I am a retired Social Studies teacher, now substitute,  from Walnut Valley USD in Diamond Bar, Ca. My interest in Japan started long ago when my brother moved to Hokkaido to teach, and has developed through teaching medieval Japan in 7th grade. I was fortunate to participate in an East Asia seminar, then study tour of Japan and South Korea with NCTA, and have since attended numerous workshops first through  UCLA, then USC-China. I currently am a volunteer docent at the Bowers, a cultural art museum in Santa Ana. I am delighted to be able to join this group, and to deepen my knowledge of Japan.

Hi, my name is Ying. I am a language teacher. I am learning Japanese. It's so lucky to join this class with you all. I'm so curious about Japanese culture since it is so unique and charming. I would like to incorporate what I have learned from here to my language class.
