On 10/5/2020, two members of AYLUS Syosset (Jasmine Chen and Alan Huang) and two members of Manhasset AYLUS (Matthew Yang & Loretta Liu) held the third collaborative Chinese Literature Appreciation class, tutoring 5th-grade students to appreciate a Chinese Classic–”Journey to the West”–through reading, analysis, and discussion.
Attending students were grouped into two breakout rooms, each with 2 tutors and at least one advisor. The Ponddy Reader website was utilized as the educational tool through which tutors taught students. In this class, teachers began the second chapter of “Journey to the West”. Students took turns reading each paragraph, with the tutors assisting them with pronunciation and understanding of the text.
The lessons lasted one hour and were followed by a short discussion and conclusion section.
The following students volunteered in today’s tutoring program: Alan Huang (1 hour), Jasmine Chen (1 hour), from the Syosset branch, and Matthew Yang (1 hour), and Loretta Liu (1 hour) are members of the Manhasset branch.
