Winnie the Pooh and Tiger as representing China and America's presidents was dreamed up by Chinese netizens in 2013. Censors sought to squelch it, but people passed it around millions of times.

My name is Reyna Kauil and I teach World History and Latin American Studies at Alliance Stern MASS, it is a math and science charter high school on the Cal State LA campus. This is my first year in the teaching profession and I am so excited to have access to curriculum and learn to incorporate East Asia in my World History class. I have had discussions with my principle about teaching Asian American Studies or Ethnic Studies next year, so the content I learn at this seminar will definitly be put to use in the near future. I am a Trojan Alumni and am excited to be back on campus learning about ancient China. Looking forward to collaborating with you all!

Hey I'm Harpreet (Harp) Sidhu and I teach 9-12th grade English at all levels at Arleta High School in the SFV. I'm taking this seminar primarily for the LAUSD salary points...but I do see great value in possibly learning more about Chinese literature. I took and very cool Classical Chinese Literature class in my undergrad studies and I loved the poetry and short stories. I love teaching about literature from different cultures, so I hope we get a chance to be exposed to that writing.

I am Tasha Phillips an Elementary Resource Specialist Teacher. I service 5th and 6th grade students in English Language Arts and Math. Although, this seminar is about East Asian History, I believe the reading and writing aspect is very much tied to ELA.
