Christine, I think your lesson plan on Chinese culture is a great one! I like your approach about teaching students that culture gives people a sense of who they are. Culture has such a varity of different meanings to different people that it is important to establish a working definition of culture so that students can identify and be aware of all different cultures. I like the idea of using the film to have students have other perspectives as well. This lesson is one that I can see myself using in my class with my fourth graders. Thank you for sharing!
