四月二十九日星期一 April 29, Monday - A Day

Chinese Level I absent students - please copy down the words we learned and show the teacher your notes when you come back.
Chinese Level II and II absent students - please ask for your actfltesting's username and password to take the test at home which you will need a microphone and earpiece. If you don't, you'll need to come to the class at the advisory time before or after school to do the test.


We used ASL (TPR) to help students to introduce the new words like 高興 有錢 不給 to connect these words to their memory. After introducing the words, we read the story on the textbook. First, the teacher read aloud the sentence by sentence and the students translated aloud into English as a whole class. To make sure every student understand the meaning, choral translation was required. Later, students were asked to fold a sheet of linepaper into half and then on the first half they write each sentence of the story in pinyin and on the other half they translate the sentence into English.The last 40 minutes we went to the computer lab and students learned how to type the story in Chinese characters.

高興gāo xìng = glad/happy
有錢yǒu qián = has money/rich
不給bù gěi = don't give

The words we reviewed...

上面shàng miàn = on/on the top/ above
下面xià miàn = under/ below
裡面 lǐ miàn = inside
外面wài miàn = outside
Reviewed he following words -
賓館bīn guǎn = hotel
dài = to bring/to take
地方dì fāng = place
房子fáng zǐ = house
進去jìn qù = enter/go inside
and we reviewed some words
wèn = ask
shuō = say, speak
上面shàng miàn = on/on the top/ above
裡面lǐ miàn = inside











For Chinese Level II and III, we did the actfltesting but it didn't go smooth as we thought. First, lots of the headsets and microphone doesn't work; students got frustrated. Since the volumn is so low students barely could hear it so lots of them just didn't pay much effort in.
