CN F21 INT/ADV 大脚怪 Bigfoot (Creat your story!)

Language Resident/Assistant Name: Feiya Suo

Day and Date: 2021.09.02

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class): Advanced

Class theme/topics discussed: Bigfoot (Creat your story!)

Goal of the class:

By the end of this class, students will be able to talk about the story that they created.

How did you structure the class?

Warm-up

  1. Take attendance and greet the students
  2. Have you heard of Bigfoot?
  3. Presentation:

– Show some pictures and a short video clip of bigfoot.

– Give the students the begining of the story.

在一个凉爽的下午,你和同学们在树林里野餐,享受大自然的美丽和宁静。 突然,你听到树枝断裂的声音。 突然,浓雾从四周涌起,你什么都看不见了。这时,你起了一身鸡皮疙瘩。当你再次能够看清时,你发现前方通往树林的小路上有巨大的脚印。你惊恐地意识到……

You are hiking in the woods with your classmates on a cool and misty afternoon enjoying the beauty and serenity of nature. All of a sudden, you hear the sounds of branches breaking. You get goose bumps and you are overwhelmed by an odor so terrible that you are temporarily blinded. When you can see again, you see huge footprints on the trail ahead of you leading off into the woods and you realize with horror and fascination that…

  • Draw two frames: 突然间,你听到树枝断裂的声音。 All of a sudden they hear the sounds of branches breaking.
  • Brainstorm how you thinkthe story will end.

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

PowerPoint slides (3 in total)

I looked up pictures on Baidu image.

I used the projector to show the students the pictures drawn by each group.

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

Students were passionate about the topic. They created all different kinds of endings to the story (Though most of them have tragic endings) and they enjoyed the process of sharing ideas and creating the story.

The only thing that didn’t work was my computer. I prepared a short video on my own laptop, but somehow my Mac couldn’t open it. (The video player did not support the format at the moment… But now I fixed it. It won’t happen again.) I tried to google it on the spot but I didn’t find the one that I wanted to show them. So I just showed the pictures of Bigfoot.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

It worked really well. I’d keep the class like this.

CN F21 INT 新牛郎织女 A New Story of Niulang & Zhinv

Language Resident/Assistant Name: Feiya Suo

Day and Date: 2021.09.15

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class): Intermediate

Class theme/topics discussed: 新牛郎织女 A New story of Niulang & Zhinv

Goal of the class:

By the end of this class, students will be able to creat their own story about Niulang and Zhinv, and be able to perform their stories in front of the class.

How did you structure the class?

Warm-up: The story of Niulang & Zhinv

  1. Questions:

When is the Valentine’s Day here in the U.S.? Why is it on Feb. 14th? Is there a story about it?

When is the Valentine’s Day in China? Do you know the story of it?

  • Presentation: A brief introduction of the story of Niulang & Zhinv
Niulang & Zhinv
  • What would the story look like if it happens in modern times?

Characters: Niulang, Lao Niu(the cow), Zhinv(the weaver girl), Wang Mu Niangniang(the queen mother)

1. How did Niulang and  Zhinv meet each other?

2. What did Lao Niu do?

3. Wang Mu Niangniang(the queen mother) doesn’t agree that Niulang and  Zhinv fall in love. What did she say? What should Niulang and Zhinv do?

4. How does the story end? Is it a good ending or a bad ending?

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

PowerPoint slides (23 in total)

Handouts

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

Things that worked well:

Students need to get to know the orginal story first, and then creat a modern version of the story. They really enjoyed creating a story by themselves! There was a group created a story like: Niulang was a student in CMC, while Zhinv was in Scripps. While they were watching a basketball game, Niulang was hit by a cow and then taken to a hospital and met Zhinv… The stories they creat were pretty convincing, and the words and sentence structures they used were actually exceeded my expection.

The thing that did not work:

The story that I presented to they was a little bit hard for the intermediate group to understand. So I adjusted some words when telling the story. Since there are many pictures about the story on the slides, students were able to understand what was going on eventually. However, I think to make it easier for students is a good idea.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

The text that I put on the handout should be modified into a easier version in order to match students’ level.

 If you have a more detailed lesson plan, please attach it below (OK to use target language for that).  Please attach any handouts as well.

CN SP21 Create your own menu

 Conversation Class Lesson Summary

Language Resident/Assistant Name:

Agnes Fu 

Day and Date:

4/27/2021

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class):

Chinese advanced level 

Class theme/topics discussed:

Create your own menu

Goal of the class:

  1. By the end of this class, students will be able to pronounce the nouns of fruits, vegetables, meat, and other ingredients (see Appendix A). 
  2. By the end of this class, students will be able to adapt their knowledge of Asian and American culinary cuisines to productive activities. 
  3. By the end of this class, students will be able to using the cultural knowledge they have acquired to support their ideas. 
  4. By the end of this class, students will be able to exchange information and negotiate meanings. 

How did you structure the class? (please see more details below on Page 3 and 4) 

  1. Take attendance and greet the students 
  2. Warm-up: ask students to share their thoughts on what was covered Tuesday. 
  3. Presentation: Read and explain the hypothetical scenarios (see Appendix B).  
  4. Communicative activity: customize a menu for your guests  
  5. Communicative activity: have a meeting with your colleagues
  6. Wrap-up: Comment on their performance and talk about what is going to be covered in Week 4.

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

  1. I used PowerPoint to create the slides (4 in total) 
  2. I used Google Doc to create handouts (see Appendix A) 

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

What worked well: 

  1. Having information laid out on a slide definitely worked better than providing oral instructions on rules or procedures of a game. 
  2. When I first tried to plan the week out Sunday, I thought about making the scenarios more complicated. Or having the stories set on days that are more special than the Spring Festival and birthday. But after the class Tuesday, I had decided to keep things direct and simple to avoid having them spend too more time on analyzing the situations than on the language itself. 
  3. Students were aware of my purpose for having both Chinese and American features included in this game. They had integrated the language practice with cultural perspectives amazingly. 

What did not work: 

  1. One group had made a faster progression than the other one, it did affect the activity. But I could see that the slower students were a little disappointed on themselves. 
  2. I intentionally and purposefully apply flexible grouping to this class. But due to the small size of this class, students who are relatively introverted tend to reply on their extroverted team members, especially after the class comes back to the main session from the breakout rooms. 

How could this class be improved/ modified?

  1. I have always teamed up the extroverted and talkative students with the introverted ones. In the future I may try to break the rule and have the ones who are normally quieter work together.

CN SP21 Hometown

Conversation Class Lesson Summary

Language Resident/Assistant Name:

Ruoyu (Agnes) Fu 

Day and Date:

2/3/2021

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class):

Chinese Intermediate level 

Class theme/topics discussed:

Hometown 

Goal of the class:

  1. By the end of this class,will learn how to introduce a city or state in six aspects (基本信息,地圖,歷史文化,地方方言,地理位置,地方美食
  2. By the end of this class, students will learn basic information about Shandong. 
  3. By the end of this class,students will understand some main differences between the Northern and Southern parts of China.
  4. By the end of this class, students will be able to introduce their own hometowns in different aspects.
  5. By the end of this class, students will be able to talk about the differences between their hometown(s) and Claremont. 

How did you structure the class? (please see more details below on Page 3 and 4) 

  1. Take attendance and greet the students 
  2. Warm-up: asking them questions based on a Map of China 
  3. Presentation: six aspects of Shandong 
  4. Pair-up activity: tell your partner something about your hometown 
  5. Discussion: what is something you like and dislike about your hometown? 
  6. Class discussion: what is the differences between your hometown(s) and Claremont?
  7. Wrap-up: comment on students’ speeches, introduce the topic of the next week 

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

  1. I used PowerPoint to create the slides (9 in total) 
  2. I looked up pictures at unsplash.com and baidu.com
  1. I used Google Doc to create handouts
  2. I searched videos about Shandong and Shandong Kuaishu on bilibili.com

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

What worked well: 

  1. Students participated actively in identifying places they knew on the Map. 
  2. Students were excited to talk about their hometown. Compared to students at the intermediate level, these students have more living or studying abroad experiences, so they had more stuff to share when it comes to geography, climate, etc. 
  3. I could feel that the time management in class had become easier for me. 
  4. When students came back together as a class, I encouraged them to do critical thinking instead of just focusing on what had been demonstrated to them. I did this to prevent them from worrying too about meeting my requirements. It worked well. They shared some additional information about their hometown(s) such as the local sports and celebrities.
  5. At this level, students are more capable to do comparisons and contrasts. So, I added one question—- what is the difference between your hometown and Claremont. They did a good job answering it.

What did not work: 

  1. 2.Students had not been exposed to sufficient Chinese history to understand certain terms (e.g., the four great novels) 

How could this class be improved/ modified?

  1. Just like the intermediate class,Some students have chosen sampled characters in their Chinese learning. So, starting from Week 3, both simplified and traditional characters will be provided on the slides and handouts. 
  2. If historical stories have to be include for some reason, I need to make sure that sufficient explanations are provided to help students understand. 

If you have a more detailed lesson plan, please attach it below (OK to use target language for that).  Please attach any handouts as well.

Goal of the class:

  1. By the end of this class, students will be able to talk about likes and dislikes;

How did you structure the class? (please see more details below on Page 3 and 4)

  1. Take attendance and greet the students
  2. Warm-up: your story with <Harry Potter>.
  3. Presentation: introduction to Harry Potter
  4. Discussion: who is Harry Potter.
  5. Wrap-up: are you going to watch the full movie (again)?

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

  1. I used PowerPoint to create the slides (7 in total)
  2. I looked up pictures of the movie on Baidu image.
  3. I used 笔记本 to create notes (see Appendix A)
  4. I used Bilibili.com to play the video clips.

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

What worked well:

  1. Students were passionate about this topic. Four out of five students had read the book and watched the movies for multiple times (note: in order to implement this lesson plan, a survey should be conducted beforehand).
  2. Students were able to follow the video. It could have been somewhat challenging since no English subtitles or audio were available. But because of their high level of familiarity with most plots, they were able to complete various types of activities afterwards.

What did not work:

  1. Students got very excited about the movies and books themselves, they were not satisfied with the length of the video— they wanted to watch more. Due to the time limitation; however; it was not feasible due to time constraints.
  2. There are plenty of fictious words and phrases in <Harry Potter>, students’ speeches got interrupted when they encountered them.

How could this class be improved/ modified?

  1. There is another way to conduct activities based on this topic. If everyone in class is familiar with this movie and books, teachers can directly ask them to introduce it to the class instead of playing introduction videos first.

If you have a more detailed lesson plan, please attach it below (OK to use target language for that).  Please attach any handouts as well.

Ruoyu (Agnes) Fu 

Day and Date:

9/17/2020 

Language and Level (intermediate or advanced class):

Chinese Advanced level 

Class theme/topics discussed:

Chinese movies and TV shows  

Goal of the class:

  4. By the end of this class, students will be able to find expected information based on the instructions provided. 
  5. By the end of this class, students will be able to provide detailed information on a subject. 

How did you structure the class? (please see more details below on Page 3 and 4) 

  1. Take attendance and greet the students 
  2. Warm-up: what is the last movie or show you watched
  3. Presentation: Chinese movies and TV shows 
  4. Discussion: What do you like or dislike?
  5. Solo presentation: the one on my to-watch list 
  6. Wrap-up: what you could watch for your Chinese learning 

What technology, media or props did you use? (internet resources, playmobiles, handouts, etc.)

  1. I used PowerPoint to create the slides (17 in total) 
  2. I looked up pictures of some dishes on Baidu image.
  3. I used 笔记本 to create notes (see Appendix B) 
  4. I used Bilibili.com to play Jackie Chan’s movie clip. 

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

What worked well: 

  1. Students are familiar with all the genres, even the one that is less common (i.e., martial arts). 
  2. Students did not get confused about what those points and stars meant after I explained that it was from a website worked as “a Chinese IMDb”.
  3. All of them have a habit of watching Chinese movies and shows on some American streaming platforms, so they were interested in getting relevant information about what might be available. They also had a lot to contribute themselves. 
  4. There was a Chinese teen drama <> on Netflix, they were very excited to learn that their classmates had also known that show, so they had a very interesting conversation about it with each other.
  5. Compared to the intermediate level classes, they had a bigger vocabulary size to support their production on likes and dislikes, so they felt comfortable bringing up more prior experiences with different kinds of shows and movies.
  6. They were willing to invite the observer to their conversations and get them going smoothly. That was my first time watching them speak in Chinese to an “outsider”. I was quite satisfied with their performances.  

What did not work: 

  1. They were familiar with those genres as just “terms” or “words”, they did not have sufficient experience with most of them to reflect on. I was expected the advanced level class to know more information about certain topics such as Jin Yong’s work. But only one student had heard of him. 
  2. I thought they had already learned the four great novels somewhere else. Although I was aware of the lack of knowledge of the details (that is why I demonstrated them in English). But none of the students had even heard of them. It made my presentation on it more challenging. 

How could this class be improved/ modified?

  1. I always try to avoid giving away too much information about the coming topics to make sure their output is spontaneous. In the future, if the topics seem to need a fair amount of world knowledge, I probably will release the agenda of the next class prior to it to help them prepare for their participation.

CN S20 ADV Travel (Zoom Class)

Conversation Class Lesson Summary

Language Resident Name: Ruirui Zhang

Day and Date: Thursday, April 23,2020

Language and Level : Advanced Class

 Class theme/topics discussed :Travel to China(make a plan to travel to China)

Goal of the class:

Students are able to use China’s travelling website to book a airplane ticket ,hotel and tickets of tourist attractions.

 How did you structure the class? 

 1.Warm up: Review words related to travelling by playing a game: each student got two flashcards and need to describe the words while others guess the words.

2.Activity: Google search “Tóngchéng”(同程旅游)and try to book a airplane ticket/hotel/ticket of tourist attraction referring to the handout.

Teacher briefly introduces the website and  students need to book a airplane ticket/hotel/tickets of tourist attractions on this website. Then students pair up and finish the task together.

During the activity, the teacher walks around and makes sure students are on the right track (I found some students talk about tourist attractions in English instead of doing the activity). They need to show and talk to teacher about their booking. Meanwhile, reminder students to look through comments which other users leave before booking.

3.Close lesson: Share your trip with each other. These includes:

State the hotel’s name you booked and reasons why you booked this hotel.

State the tourist attraction and what it is like. 

What technology, media or props did you use?  

 PowerPoint

What worked well in this class? What did not work?

 Students had fun planning a trip with using actual website. And It’s very useful to let students do such a activity since nowadays people tend to book tickets online.      

Planning a trip was a little bit difficult for the Intermediate Class. It need to be simplified or more supports need to be provided.    

Could this class be improved/ modified?

We spent too much time in talking about “normal” gifts in China. Therefore, we didn’t have time to talk about gifts taboo and we have to move this part to next class. I should control time appropriately.
