    My students had a great experience with their historical debates! Topic was 嫦娥和后羿是真爱,love or power(money). Students were able to research and study materials, then present their findings in a debate format. They had to think critically about their arguments and use evidence to back up their points. It was amazing to see how engaged they were in the process and how much they learned. They had to work together to come up with the best arguments and it was really interesting to see how their ideas evolved over the course of the debate. We had a lot of fun and it was a great learning experience for all of us.

    I like traditional Chinese paper cut rabbit stamps because they are a beautiful and unique way to express one of the Chinese art. Usually, the artworks are made of red paper, as red is associated with festivities and luck in Chinese culture, so they are a great way to explore Chinese culture and can be used to teach students about the history and symbolism associated with the zodiac. These stamps can be used with students in a variety of ways. For example, I can let students to decorate cards or other artwork, or make a stamp collection, or to make a unique stamp design, many fun ways to learn about Chinese culture from stamps. No matter how they are used, these stamps are a great way to bring Chinese culture into the classroom.

    As I represent confucianist school team , the best course of action in this situation is to consider my moral obligations and strive for justice. Confucianism teaches that justice must be upheld and puts emphasis on reconciliation and rectifying wrongs. As such, it's important to determine the consequences of the actions taken and address them in an appropriate manner. Depending on the severity of the crime and the impact it has had on those affected by it, a range of actions could be taken. 

    I may wish to seek advice from my father and ask him to explain his actions and apologize for any harm that he has caused in privately.

    If I fear that his actions have led to serious harm and violated any laws, I should seek advice from legal counsel as to how to proceed. I may also speak to a trusted mentor or another figure of authority to seek guidance, It is also important to not only consider justice and restoring balance, but also understanding, forgiveness and compassion - all of which are core concepts to be found in confucianism. If I’m confucianism I need respect and obey my father, I need trust him and forgive him.

    My name is Yao Jin and I am a Mandarin teacher at an IB high school. Before this, I used to teach Art in China. Teaching Mandarin has been a great experience for me and I am very passionate about it. I enjoy helping my students learn the language and culture of China. I'm very excited to learn more and help myself grow. Thank you.
