I teach 7th (world) and 8th (U.S.) history at Mark Twain Middle School in Mar Vista (LAUSD). I am fortunate to teach at a school with great language programs. I teach two of my history classes in Spanish (Dual Language-Spanish) and a seventh grade class to Language Immersion students (Mandarin).
I'm participating in this seminar to deepen my understanding of East Asia, especially because it was not a prominent topic in my own education.
