Next Day 5, we are going to do our first Chinese cooking: Scallion
Pancake.
For culture study, we have finished our Culinary journey. Next topic we are going to explore is Chinese school system. We will start by letting you finding out the answers for the following questions. Please feel free to use internet, or interview one of the international students on campus:
1. What are the divisions of the Chinese schools, such as elementary school, middle school etc...
2. What are the subjects that a student learn at school. You can use Middle School as an example.
3. How are the testing system go in China? Can you compare it with the American school system that you are familiar with.
4. Please list a typical schedule of a Chinese student and an American student( like yours). Please explain the major differences.
So, in stead of group presentation, I want you to develop this research into an individual paper: Imagine yourself as a 8th grader living in China. What's a typical school day for you? What kind of extra-curricular activities you might be doing for fun? What dreams or ambitions you might have for your future? I encourage you to be creative and imaginative,but I need you to put yourself into a REAL place in China: pick up a region in China that you are interested in based on the journey of the two chefs, or from other sources, and pick a REAL school in that region or city. Get to know your city and your surroundings can help you create a more realistic setting.
This paper needs to be independently researched and written. Minimum length: double spaces, 2 pages. The due date is next Thursday, 1/16/2013. You can show me a draft of it on Tuesday if you're not sure about some of the facts.
thanks,
