Joy,

Thanks for narrating the story. I am clearer about what happened in the 孟母三迁story now. Your students are hilarious with their questions. I think that story was so ancient that a new version of 孟母三迁should be written. It occurs to me that we may ask our students to rewrite the story, change where Mencius and his mother live, change all three places the mother and the son move to and given reasons. Guess what? We might get our students very creative. Just a thought about what we can do in our classroom with what we learn here.
