TRIP DAILY DIARY: ASIAN-AMERICAN CULTURAL EXCHANGE

04/22/04-THURSDAY - VISIT TO YUNNAN NORMAL UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENTAL MIDDLE SCHOOL PG1

PG 1 (this page) - We began by visiting an English classroom (pictures on this page). We participate in a class and near the end got a chance to visit with the students and answer their questions and share with them about the US and VT.

PG 2 - After Morning Exercises we visited a Chinese class where students had prepared short presentations on Chinese Culture for us.

PG 3 - After lunch on our own (students in this school go home for lunch and a rest and return to school around 2pm) we returned to school and played a basketball game with the Chinese students. Because our team was coed they allowed girls to play on their team too. They won by about double the score, but a great time was had by all!

PG 4 - Later the students got to snack and visit with their new friends while teachers talked and shared strategies. Let's let the pictures tell the story!


The average class size is between 50 & 60 students!
