September 1 for DLI Chinese 3 Honors 1st and 4th period

Sorry that I don't have too much time to update today's lesson. I tried. We reviewed the old words quickly and learned the new words.
1st period students most of them wrote the definition and sentences on their own while 4th period students needed some help from the teacher such as writing the definition and sentences with them. 4th period students answered the questions aloud as a whole class while 1st answered the questions individually. I was a little behind for 4th period. The 1st period students read the dialogue and did the pair conversation practice while 4th period practiced with quizlet. No matter what they were doing great in class.


Below are the worksheets that 1st period students has done but not 4th period yet. We will have 4th period students did these two worksheets to practice their reading and conversation while 1st period students may do some enrichment activities.

US-China Strong: Ambassador Nominations

Dear Parents and Students,

The US-China Strong organizations is once again recruiting students who want to act as ambassadors.  Many of you had students who participated last year.

Just like last year they are recruiting students who can encourage others to learn Mandarin and learn about China. Students are expected to share their story on social media and complete projects such as start a Chinese Language Club or host a Chinese Culture Night.  Students can design their own projects to get the word out about learning Mandarin. 

There are benefits for students such as participating in professional development webinars, receiving invitations to high-profile US-China relations events, putting on their resume that they were a US-China Strong Student Ambassador, and receiving a letter of recommendation from the foundation CEO.

This should be for mature students who are self-motivated.

I need to submit a list of interested students to the organization by September 16th, so please let me know by the 15th if you have any interested students.  

I've attached an explanatory guide to this email that you can share with students and parents.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to hear from you by the 15th of September.

Thanks,
