Chinese IIIH/ 10th Grade
Honors Chinese III Class End-of-Year E-Portfolio Project (2018-2019)
Introduction
Chinese digital Portfolio Project is expected to be a substantial piece of quality work demonstrating individual creativity. Your work should reflect what you have learned so far in your journey of Chinese study. This project can be the continuation of your Chinese e-portfolio you created last year. It should be a record across your entire high school years of learning Chinese. If you completed some chapters last year in Weebly site, you can simply migrate and integrate applicable ones to this year’s project. It may involve additional work beyond the regular course requirements and it helps you achieve a higher-level understanding of the course materials and use them for communicative purposes.
Objectives
• To foster your knowledge, understanding and can-do capability as you assemble the digital portfolio with different components in various language learning contexts
• To enhance the Chinese students learning through the process of revising and evaluating your own product
Requirements
Your project should contain all four domains of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each chapter will demand additional work and practice on the language that you’ve learned from the eight lessons, which allow you to study a topic in greater depth in order to have a better command of your knowledge of Chinese. The vocabulary and sentence patterns learned in the course will serve as an essential base for the student’s creative project. A detailed guideline for each chapter is enclosed. No translation from Google translator are allowed for your project. With respect to the speaking performance, you should strive for accuracy of the PinYin tones, fluency, and expression. The project may include but not limited to pictures, texts, skits，dialogue，audios, mini-movies, oral presentations and videos. Please include a table of contents as you see fit.
