Welcome to the Wiki page for the Chinese Elective!
Please select a lesson from the menu to the left.

This Wiki presents a unit of five lessons for a Chinese elective. The theme of the unit is Chinese culture and customs, and will focus on teaching the Chinese language through a study of:
 * The Chinese New Year (February 3, 2011)
 * Journey to the West, a traditional Chinese legend
 * Chinese poetry

The last lesson of the unit will fall on the Chinese New Year, February 3rd. So far, students have learned Chinese primarily in terms of discourse functions such as ordering food at a restaurant, answering the phone, expressing what they like and dislike, etc. This unit provides a method of introducing many aspects of China's rich culture, while simultaneously teaching useful grammar and vocabulary. One lesson will be used each day, and each is designed to be 40-45 minutes in length. Student work will be posted here as it is completed.
