When I sign up for this seminar, I do not know what to expect, and how the East Asia movement can do with my Math teaching. My Coworkers were excited to this seminar, so I excited too. After five days program finished, I felt it was one of the best seminar I ever had. I learned about the Asian movement and what have affected to L.A, I knew more about the K-pop and K-drama, and the origin of Japanese food was so interested. These information may not directly into my Math teaching but are very useful for statistic samples, also are very good topics to my computer class’ info processing’.
It was a big impression from the first day Mr. Stephen Cheung. We live in L.A but we never know that much about L.A. We learned how many cities in the L.A and the economic situations from the changing of foreigner countries, and what the view and concern the L.A will face. I believe this information will give my students some kind of view to their daily life, and they can put into their info process project.
The K-pop and K-drama will be something that interested to my students too. Most of my students are from southern L.A, their stronger talents are street dance, basketball, and anything related to entertainment. They will love to see these young groups from Korean, it will be a stimulate to their creativities.
My personal favorite part of this seminar was the origin of Japanese Food. I ate Japanese food in my whole life time, but the first time learned so much knowledge from Mr. Yamashita. I will give these interested information to my students hope they like to make some research and put into our Algebra statistic project.
A lot of time , we see things change in our life but never go further to learn about it. Like there more and more business from Chinese, more and more Korean drama in our TV, and more Temples in L.A area. Some people will have hostile to these changes; some people complained the impact to their old life. This seminar made me think more about the changes, and make me built a new attitude to face the changes. I will pass on this attitude to my students and help them build a healthier idea on facing new situation in the life.
