Team Qufu

At the front gate of our University in Qufu with our fellow teammates

The building where we will teach!

At the temple of Confucius--a major tourist attraction in our small town

With Confucius himself

We are really enjoying little Qufu! We have two great, experienced teammates: Tarah, who has taught in China for two years, and Alison, who has taught here for one year.  We are already having lots of fun together exploring the city, working on lesson plans, and creating mission & vision statements for the year.  We start teaching next week!

Curious about what we are teaching?

Chip:  
2 sections of Junior Writing (Lots of difficult editing)
2 section of Sophomore Western Culture (Along with Mallary, so we can lesson plan together!)
1 section of Classic Movies (It's the first time this class has been offered, so Chip is starting from scratch.)

Mallary: 
3 sections of Sophomore Western Culture  (Great for my history interest!)
3 sections of Sophomore Oral English (Including some public speaking and debate!)
