FOR CHINESE LEVEL I ABSENT STUDENTS - copy down the reviewed words onto your notes and then show the teacher when you come in; plus, please create a story with at least 100 words and then show the teacher when you come in.
FOR CHINESE LEVEL II & III ABSENT STUDENTS - CONTINUED MAKING YOUR ANIMAL BOOK based on the rubric on the journal blog on JANUARY 25 - A DAY. If you haven't been here for a while, please check the previous date's journal blog to know what we did in class and continued the assignment.

For Chinese Level I, today we first reviewed the words we learned the last two days and then students write a 100 word story. 15pts in total; above 100+ 15pts; 90-99 14pts; 80-89 12pts; 70-79 10pts; 60-69 8pts; 50-59 6pts; 40-49 4pts; lower 40- 2pts. After the 30-40 minutes writing, we corrected the test answers which I will post online the answers on video soon.

For Chinese Level II & III students, today we quickly reviewed the words and gave them time to complete their animal book. Several students had done their books and showed me theirs. I discussed with them the mistakes they made in the books and then they went back to fix it. Students were told that their books will be returned once I read and would talk to them for correction. I will ask my T.A. in the future to scan the books online so that every student may see their work.

一月二十五日星期五 January 25, Friday - A Day

Today we had a 2-hour late start school day due to the slick road and the critical weather; lots of students were absent as well. Seriously if I had a teenager at home, I would probably let him/her stay home today for safety issue. Like yesterday I fell off the ice on the way to my car, TWICE and hurt my arms and right hand. I am sure nothing is more important than safety, isn't it?!

Well, today for Chinese Level I student we did a 2nd term test to evaluate how much students have learned.

For Chinese Level II and III students we first reviewed the words about animals, some verbs and some adjectives. After that students were requested to make an animal book.

#1, four A4 white paper and fold into half to make 8 pages.
#2, create a title page in the front of the 1st page and leave the back of the 1st page blank.
#3, create a story with animals and draw pictures to the sentences you create with 14 pages (double-sided)
#4, Chinese Level II students may use pinyin to write the story while Level III students need to write the story in Chinese characters.
#5, Remember time and location in Chinese are different from English; in English you say "the birds fly in the sky," while in Chinese we say "the birds in the sky fly." (For Chinese people, time and location is more important information and need to place before the verb.)
#6, Leave the last page of the book blank and write your name on the back of the last page.

Today is the first day of the 2nd semester for B-Day so first we quickly went through the classroom procedure/disclosure- (please see the blog on January 23, Wednesday). After that we introduced the following vocabulary. Even though we introduced the animal before the break at the end of 1st semester for 5th and 6th period, yet since the classes are mixed again so we reteach these animals.
For 5th period students we worked on the dictionary form with the vocabulary while 6th period students we used small whiteboards to practice.

鼠 shǔ = rat/mouse
牛niú = cow/ox/bull
虎 hǔ = tiger
兔 tù = rabbit/ bunny
龍 lóng = dragon
蛇 shé = snake
馬 mǎ = horse
羊 yáng = sheep/goat/lamb
猴 hóu = monkey
鷄 jī = chicken/rooster/hen
狗gǒu = dog
豬 zhū = pig/ boar
貓 māo = cat
熊 xióng = bear

After that we watched a powerpoint 'the celebrities and their pets." (名人和他們的寵物).

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES

Today is the first day of the 2nd semester so first we quickly went through the classroom procedure/disclosure-

#1, Hall pass is given - students may go to the locker, restroom, or get a drink twice each term with the hall pass. The first time students go out for any reason with the hall pass, there will be a punch on it to refer that this students has been out once. The second time you use the hall pass to go out, it will be taken away to refer that you run out of your privilege to go out of classroom. If you need to go out the classroom but also run out of your hall pass, you need to ask your classmates or friends in class if they would like to let you use their hall pass. If they do, you may use their hall pass to go out. Non-used hall pass will be used at the end of the term to be a missing assignment pass, a tardy pass, an absence pass, or a 10 extra points for participation.

#2, participation points - each student may receive 15 points for their participation each time they come to the class and participate the activities in class. If a students is absent, then he/she needs to get online www.sjhchineseclasses.blogspot.com to copy down the words we learn that day onto their notebook and show the teacher their notes next day they come to earn back their participation points.

The student who talk and/or has disruptive behaviors will be marked on a piece of paper and taken away their participation points. 

absent = -15pts  (may earn the pts back by coping down the words online onto their notes and show the teacher) 

tardy = -5 pts (may use the hall pass to be a one-time tardy pass) 

talkative/distruptive behavior = -5pts (may earn extra back if their behavior is improved for making up their previous lost points)

extra points = +5 pts for striving hard to speak Chinese in class and extra effort in performance 

#3, Missing assignments - any assignment is and will be posted online. Students may download the assignments online and complete them and turn in in.

#4, Late assignments- late assignments and re-do assignments ARE ALLOWED for the class. There is mercy week for students to turn in their assignments. After the mercy week, students turn in assignments late will be given 90% of points for the assignment. The teacher ask for COMPLETED assignments. Any incompleted assignments will be returned to the owner and required to turn in COMPLETED.

#5, Referral -
if you talk while the teacher is talking or have disruptive behavior, you will be marked a tally (-1pt), two tally (-2pts); three tally (-3pts); four tally (-5pts) and your parents will receive an email that day.

If your behavior is not improved after an email sent to your parents and you still talk while the teacher is talking or have disruptive behavior, you will be marked a tally (-1pt), two tally (-2pts); three tally (-3pts); four tally (-5pts) and you will receive a blank referral and your parents will received another email that day.

If your behavior is not improved after an email sent to your parents with a blank referral and you still talk while the teacher is talking or have disruptive behavior, you will be marked a tally (-1pt), two tally (-2pts); three tally (-3pts); four tally (-5pts) and you will receive a filled-in referral and your parents will received another email that day.


If your behavior is not improved after an email sent to your parents with a filled-in referral and you still talk while the teacher is talking or have disruptive behavior, you will be marked a tally (-1pt), two tally (-2pts); three tally (-3pts); four tally (-5pts) and you will be sent to the administrator's office/ISS room directly.

For Chinese Level II and III students, they have more strict classroom policy than level I students as we have 40 students in the class. To remain class learning environment, strict classroom rules are required for Level II and III students. if you talk while the teacher is talking or have disruptive behavior, you will be marked a tally (-5pt), two tally (-10pts); three tally (-15pts) and your parents will receive an email that day.

一月二十三日星期三 January 23, Wednesday - A Day

For Chinese Level I, II, and III, we first learned the classroom procedures first which was posted online as well. We had assigned the seating for each student and Chinese Level I students were given their Chinese names. A hall pass 通 行證 was given and required the student's Chinese name, English name and the period on it. After that we used TPRS introduced the animals for Level I, II, III. For Level I student we worked on TPR animal introduction and practiced with the small whiteboards while Level III students worked on a piece of paper with 12 equal squares (as the pictures).
