January 4th 2012 Wednesday 二零一二年一月四日星期三- B

6th period Chinese class:  Discussed the Chinese Zodiac.  Learned the names and order of the animals involved with the Chinese Zodiac.  Created a wheel for sequencing the animals in their order.

We used PQA (personal questions and answer) to learn the words and small whiteboards to practice them. We also played bingo games to practice/review the words. Many students were able to answer the questions nǐ shōdàshéme lǐ wù ?/ nǐ shǔ shéme ? = What Zodiac are you? in Chinese. Students were asked to walk around the classroom with the Chinese New Year song (sang by Mrs. Duke) and stopped and found a partner to ask the 3 questions learned when the song stopped.
