Textbook(s):
The primary textbook used for this course is, Learn Chinese With Me. However, the textbook is not rigidly followed and other supplementary texts will be used.
Course Overview:
The Chinese 1 program is an introductory course for students to grasp beginner language skills in Mandarin. This program will cover the Chinese language, history and culture. The content contains:
-
Unit 1: Introductions (Greetings, farewells, pronunciation, character strokes and more)
-
Unit 2: My Friends and Me
-
Unit 3: My Family Tree
-
Unit 4: Time and Activities
-
Unit 5: Food and Holidays
-
Unit 6: Weather and Clothing
Materials:This course requires the extra material of:
-Chinese-English Dictionary
-4 Dividers labeled: Homework, Classwork, Drills and Vocabulary
I do not require students to have a separate Chinese binder, but the binder in which the dividers will be placed should be large, because the students will receive a lot of handouts throughout the school year. I also expect students to be prepared everyday with such necessities like pencils, pens, extra.
Grading Policy:

Homework/Make-up Policy:
Your child will have homework consistently. Please note that all work is due on the date assigned. Late work will be accepted but for 20% off the grade received, unless a student is absent or has an extreme circumstance. If a student is absent on the day an assignment is due, the student is responsible for turning in the assignment on the day he/she returns.
Make-up work- Students who are absent will the corresponding number of days absent to make-up work missed. For example, if the student missed two days, he/she has two days to make up the work missed. All work will be available for students in the appropriate folder that corresponds to the specific day he/she was absent.
