This class emphasizes communication, interpersonal, and critical thinking skills. Students will interpret information by stating the relationship between categories of information, draw inferences, and recognize and interpret different points of view. They will move past outdated and incomplete descriptions of the Chinese New Year to develop a full picture of this holiday's significance and to gain an overview of China's history. This will allow them to communicate with Chinese (about 20% of the world's population) in a deep and meaningful way, and to celebrate in a genuine and respectful fashion. Along the way, they will also compose multiple types of literature, including short stories, poems, and a skit.

Although I am Canadian, I am qualified to teach this class because I lived in China for ten years, integrated into the culture, studied the history extensively, learned Mandarin, and started an educational not-for-profit organization with my Chinese husband. I am an experienced educator and am trusted by Chinese parents, the Chinese Association of Mississauga, and school boards to teach about Chinese history and culture. I hope that I will have the opportunity to teach your child, too!
