I have noticed that my students enjoy it when I talk about chineese culture and how they do things differently. They like to here things in story formats. So when I teach I try to play the role of a story teller. I can easily notice the reduction of noise in my room when I tell stories. Let it be known that I teach sixth graders.
A better story telling, is showing movies. I have been reading many comments about good chinese movies that other folks have watched. I tried a couple of movie rental places near my house. I could not find any of the topics that I had on my list. What I could easily locate in the international sections were nothing but movies that promoted violence. The titles and cover pictures resembled that. I simply refuse to promote any of that Hollywood style China culture in my classroom. I have enough guilty feelings as a parent to last me a lifetime( Show me a parent who does not!).
Would it be too much if I asked other colligues to give the source of the movies that they share with others. It would really help those of us who are interested in watching the same movies.
Thanks.
