Chinese New Year at Drew

Students in Caitlin Jackson’s Mandarin classes prepare and present Chinese New Year projects during Drew’s annual Chinese New Year celebration.

Over the course of a month, students intensively research a self-chosen aspect of Chinese culture before presenting their findings to their Mandarin classmates during a 10 minute presentation that addresses the following prompt: “Choose one aspect of Chinese culture and, in your presentation, describe this aspect in as much detail as necessary, and what it teaches us about Chinese cultural perspectives.”
Following the in-class presentations, students design an interactive booth to share their work with the entire student body in the courtyard during a celebration.

Topics this year included women in Chinese culture, dancing fans, eSports, firecracker celebrations, fashion, and more.
