In this session we had a lot of fun with the activity we developed about splitting the class members in three different groups to “recreate” important moments in the Chinese History.
We became in self strengtheners, reformers and rebellious groups.
Professor Dube conducted the activity assigning the main character roles in advance. Our group leaders made an excellent performance (with the direction of Professor Dube) and made us feel as members of the historical group.
In this session I was double happy because besides learning in a different way the history of China, I found it an extraordinary idea that the students can portrait important people on the world of science such as Alexander Graham Bell, Nicholas Tesla, Thomas Alba Edison, Isaac Newton, Nicolaus Copernicus, etc. I am planning to use this activity in a near future.
