I think it would be beneficial to incorporated Chinese art and music into the classroom. I really like the idea of teaching the students different Chinese characters through the use of watercolors and paint. My students are currently learning to speak Chinese trough physical education. At the beginning of their PE class, the teacher reviews Chinese characters and words that the students have learned. I think it would be beneficial to start a word study book for Chinese characters. This journal could be used for new vocabulary words the students learn. The students could paint the new characters and write the meaning or the word. This could become an excellent resource that the students could continue to add to and use as a reference.
