Excellent lesson. I finally was able to get my non-majors to talk and to laugh and to show life. With my English majors who are freshmen, it was a big hit.

This sounds like an interesting activity. I will try it with my large class of 70 non-majors. Lately I have been having trouble with my non-majors because the equipment NEVER works and my lesson plans go out the window. This will be a good backup plan in case the equipment doesn’t work.

Hi Lynie, We posted most of these while we were in China, and we used a proxy to get in to post. Tips on accessing blocked sites and workaround for blogger/wordpress Good luck!

Hi Ken,
Glad you had a good time in China! Our China PCVs serve in the Western provinces, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Gansu. I guess the nearest you might have come to seeing any of them would have been when you stopped through Guilin or Xi’an? It was really kind of you to offer to bring them stuff. I’m sure the sentiment was appreciated.

We had a lovely time in China. Pity no one took us up on our offer as we would have loved to have spent some time with PC China volunteers. I however will be in Vietnam for a week in November from the 16th to the 20th for the Jimmy Carter Works Project Habitat for Humanity build so there still may be a chance to help out in some way as it looks like I will be flying thru HongKong.

HI- I used Baldicer 30 years ago in a high school class. It is just as great as ever! I, too, was unable to access the materials page. I will try at home so I don’t have the work server to go thru. Thanks for saving this wonderful activity and sharing it.
