On December 10th, 2010, we will have an awesome opportunity to listen to a China expert tell us all about the wonders of the country. Mr. Sturgeon, renowned world traveler and English teacher, will be joining us to tell us all about his trip to China and his stay there for 3 weeks. These types of opportunities do not come along every day, so we need to make sure we are prepared and take advantage of this great thing. Mr. Sturgeon will be telling us all about the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, Terra Cotta Warriors, Daily Life/What its like there, food, entertainment, and many other things. For this blog post, you need to get prepared for this visit. To get prepared, we are going to start thinking about questions we might want to ask Mr. Sturgeon when he visits. Be thinking about something you want to know about or something you have been wondering about in relation to China, past or present. I will publish these comments a few days before his visit, so he will have a chance to look them over and see what he knows the answers too. Depending on how many questions get posted, he might not be able to get to all of them, but I am sure he will try to answer as many as possible.Task: Prepare for Mr. Sturgeon's visit by posting questions you have about China for him to answer.
DUE: Please try to have a question posted by December 8th, 2010. Thank you.
