|Project| Due: Friday, 3/28/2014

IMPORTANT UPDATE - A lot of you have expressed concerns and worries regarding this project. It is important to let you know that the purpose of this video is NOT to make every word, every tone, and every phrase perfect. It is simply a practice to put words and phrases together while making sense of them. Please encourage your child to try their best and not be afraid of making mistakes. There will be mistakes, and they are the beauty of the learning process. 

We have been practicing and reciting conversations in class, and now it's the time to put the skills into practice. Over the next few days, your child will be introducing someone, anyone. Mention their name, birthday, and likes/dislikes of foods. That is it. Whatever extra you want to throw in there would be great, but it must have something to do with the person.

E-mail me the video clip by Friday, 3/28. You may choose to post it on your personal youtube page and send me the link IF you want the clip to be shared on the blog.

Get creative. The kids can even talk about someone whom he/she has never met (the president). Holding up a picture while filming would be a plus!

Here is a sample -

他(tā)的(de)名字(míngzì)是 (shì)____________________. His/Her name is_______.

他(tā)的(de)生(shēng)日(rì)是(shì)_____________________. His/Her birthday is_________.

他(tā)喜歡(xǐhuan)吃(chī)____________________, He likes to eat_________.
他(tā)不(bù)喜歡(xǐhuan)吃(chī)_____________. He doesn't like to eat_______. 

PS. In Mandarin, he or she are both called ta (他/她).
