Monuments and Icons in China
S06
Shunzhu Wang
Monuments such as the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, and the Qing Terracotta and icons such as Confucius, Lao Zi, Sun Zhongshan, Mao Zedong, and Deng Xiaoping will provide students with a chance to gain an intimate knowledge of China through important historical events and figures that shaped and changed the Chinese culture. As is the case with Tour China, we will compose a text for each unit (monument or icon) collectively through research and discussion. The third-term students will be required to contribute to the text in the form of questions and answers, while the fifth-term students will contribute at a discourse level, writing the actual narrative.
