As Mr. Zhi already mentioned at our last meeting, students are working on their city projects. They are researching the cities we will be visiting: Beijing, Xi'an, Yangshuo, Suzhou, and Shanghai.
The topics they had to look up were:
1) General Info (population, history, geographical location, etc..)
2) Food and Drinks
3) Culture and Customs
4) Specific Points to Note
5) Dialect
6) Specific Sight Seeing Spots
and other topics that interested the students.
Overall, Mr. Zhi wanted the students to know more information before we left. Initially, he had the students brainstorm what the students thought about the city before any research. Then, after the research, they students wrote about what they noticed, what new information they found out about, and any other surprising facts. At the end, he had the students compare and contrast their first beliefs to the factual ones. As a class, students were informed of the new information they learned.
As of now, the students are wrapping up their research. Pictures will be posted soon!
