For the upcoming New Year's celebration, I have utilized the help from some of my parents to help me make some fortune for some hand-made fortune cookies. Writing is a huge component in the California Standards and I want my students to understand the importance of knowing good sentence structure. The parents will help me make the cookies, while the students will be responsible for coming up with some completed sentences and idioms they've learned in class. They will transfer what they know into small strips of paper that you will see in fortune cookies -- it teaches them editing skills as well as have fun at the same time. Some of the students have noticed that fortune cookies often have lucky numbers and/or Chinese lessons on the back of each fortune. They suggested math problems in place of lucky numbers and Korean/Japanese writing lessons in place of the Chinese ones since that is what they've covered in class. Students stay active and take ownership in their learning.
