You will be able to imagine the scenes with short readings, discussions, and fun pictures of a soapy, sudsy emperor, future spirit warriors, popping firecrackers, sword swallowers, oxen in disguise, acrobats, and even Syrian and Roman visitors! Write short stories, a poem, and even develop and perform a skit. This is an informative, interactive, culturally-respectful class to introduce some key points about some of the most fascinating Chinese dynasties.

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.

學習目標
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 They will move past outdated and incomplete descriptions of the Chinese New Year to develop a full picture of this holiday's significance and to gain an overview of China's history.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.
其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
During the first class, we will reference the sacrifices that early Chinese kings and queens made during the New Year's ceremonies. While there will not be any gory illustrations or descriptions, it will be noted that animals like lambs and some people were sacrificed. There will also be some class discussion as to why this happened and whether we agree with these actions. This may be a trigger for highly sensitive children. Please contact me to discuss your choices if you feel that this may be uncomfortable for your child.
Aside from this, there will be brief references to historical religious beliefs, like Buddhism and Confucianism, but this is purely from an academic, historical point-of-view.
