Thanks for the museum list. We will be checking this out to see if we can use it in our Point Vicente Unit.
Hi Folks,
I propose that we have an additional Saturday session. The first 90 minutes would be for content/trip related matters and three hours would be for web construction efforts. Two Saturdays seem possible:
Feb. 11
Feb. 25
The web session is voluntary, but we'd need all those interested in the study tour to attend the opening meeting. Please vote here for your preference. If they are equally good or bad, please indicate this.
I think we'd meet 9 am - noon, lunch, 12:30-2.
Thanks for weighing in on this.
I would prefer Feb. 11th because I will be out of town on Feb. 25th!
I would like to meet on February 25. I could not meet until 11 AM on February 11 so the 25th is better for me.

My vote is for Feb. 25th. I most likely can't make it on the morning of the 11th.
Louis
Thank you Clayton... I would prefer the 25th of Feb.
Denise Clement
I seem to be out numbered, but I am already in a class on the 25th; so my vote is for the 11th.
Barb
I would prefer Feb 11 as I am out of town on the 25th.
I guess either is fine with me. Does this make up for the one some of us missed?
Hi, my first choice for the additional Sat. class would be Feb. 25th although I could be there on the 11th. Put me down as being flexible! Bev
Is the Saturday, March 11th meeting at UCLA at or is it at PV High?
Also, our March 6th meeting is on a WASC visitation day. Will we still be able to use the library?
Unfortunately, I had to miss the March 6th session...have we discussed opportunities to make up the classes that we have missed? I remember a session offered at UCLA covering information on Vietnam, in April? Does anyone have information on this and would this work as a make up class?
Several members of this group need to make up for missed sessions. In completing make-up assignments, please understand that the intention of the assignment is to immerse you in an East Asian topic and to ask that you think creatively about how you teach about it or how you could use a particular resource with students.
There are three make-up options:
1. attend and participate in the missed session at another seminar site, note that there are variations in the topics and speakers at these different sites, no seminar is identical to another
(Hard now that the term is over, but sessions will be held at UCLA July 31-August 8.)
Contribute a 200-250 post on the session to the seminar discussion forum. I recommend focusing on the documents for the session and discussing how they could be adapted for class use.
2. attend an East Asia-focused lecture at UCLA or another facility
Learn about these presentations via the Asia in SoCal website:

Contribute a 200-250 post on the presentation to the Asia in My Classroom discussion forum. Summarize the content of the presentation and discuss how you might incorporate the ideas into your own lessons.
3. visit an East Asia-focused museum exhibition

Did anyone get the forms/information for getting UCLA credit for our East Asia course? I e-mailed and phoned Linda Truong, but I didn't get a response. Maybe out for vacation? Anyway, I would like to go forward with getting these credits. If anyone has information for me, I'd appreciate it.

P.S. Hope everyone is having a great summer
