My name is Kevin Spachuk, I teach at San Fernando High School 9th and 10th grade English. I took this course because I am quite interested in Asia. I lived in Tokyo for 4 years and would like to know more about China and Korea. I would like to develop my knowledge of the region. I would be interested in major figures in science fiction by Asians.

Hi,

My name is John Hoarty. I teach at Bishop Mora Salesian High School in Boyle Heights. Salesian is an all-male, Catholic high school that serves about 390 students.

I am participating in the seminar for two reasons: I have a personal interest in Asian studies and my students lack knowledge of Asia. I want to become more informed and make sure that they do as well.

Hi everyone,
My name is Karen. I teach 6th grade English and History at Bethune Middle School in South LA. I'm taking this seminar because I want to learn more about South Asia for my own knowledge- it's such a huge area and plays such an important role in world affairs-- there's a lot I need to learn! I'm also in the seminar so I can do a better job teaching my students about China and integrating South Asia into the rest of my classes.

Hey

My name is Alva Bergman. I teach at Belvedere Middle School, 7th/8th grade art. I took this seminar because I am interested in learning more about asian art. Currently, I try to introduce various art movements and have my students create artwork based on that influence. I am looking forward to learning about the asian art movements and therefore have my students create asian influenced artwork.

P/s If anything is misspelled, I apologize now...

Hi all! I'm Josh Rauh and I teach RSP in the Special Education department at Verdugo Hills High School. This means that I teach students in grades 9-12 in all core subjects. I have chosen to take this seminar because East Asia is inextricably linked with our students' futures.

My name is Will Salinas and I teach at J. Burroughs Middle School. I am taking this seminar to enrich my teaching on the topic of Asia in the 7th grade history class that I teach. The seminar seems to be a perfect fit since we focus on China, Japan, and Korea. I hope that the information provided will help me better engage my students.

My name is Ana de Castro. I live in Long Beach and teach in Watts. I teach Spanish language and literature and I'm ver interested in learning about East Asia and more importantly how I can make it part of my curriculum. I'm really hoping that by the end of this seminar I will be ready to talk and teach my students more than just Latin America, Spain and the United States--I want to expand the pool of knowledge I can offer to my students.
Thank you so much for giving me this oppoortunity.

I'll see you next Tuesday.
