	Go (围棋) Class Education for a strategic Board Game, Teacher Jian Wu Go (围棋) is a fascinating board game for 2 players that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago. It provides an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills because of its complexity. It’s also practice in problem solving and it helps develop a flexible and open-minded attitude. Players are motivated to combine attack and defense for maximum efficiency, thus developing appreciation for the interconnected consequences of various possibilities. In addition, Go is a natural addition to the math curriculum. The fifth grade curriculum requires understanding pattern recognition and geometric shapes. Learning shape sequences and solving game problems are ideal in achieving this objective. It’s also fun! Children will learn the foundations of the game based on English Go terms. A new concept will be introduced each week. Kids will be able to play the game, work on strategies, and have a fun activity together. This course is for child ages 8-up. The class is supported by AGA the American Go Association.                                                                                                                                赵仲夏   围棋班助教 男，15 岁，Cherry Hill High School East  十年级学生。 八岁开始学习围棋，现在是业余七段 (American Go Association  Rating) 2009 年 ·         第三届美国青少年围棋锦标赛  （The US Youth Go Championship）青年组 第二名 ·         第二十五届美国围棋大会（The 25th  US Go Congress）Die Hard Tournament  A组第一名 ·         The 13th Michael Redmond Cup  （The Redmond Cup is the North American Youth Go Championship） 青年组  第二名 2008年 ·         第二届美国青少年围棋锦标赛  （The US Youth Go Championship） 青年组 第二名 ·         第二十四届美国围棋大会（The 24th  US Go Congress） 美国围棋公开赛六段组第二名 ·         入选美国围棋队 ， 参加 第一届世界智力运动会（中国 北京） 2007年 ·         第一届美国青少年围棋锦标赛 （The US Youth Go Championship）青年组 第三名 ·         第二十三届美国围棋大会（The 23th  US Go Congress）Die Hard Tournament  A组第一名   AP Chinese  Course Description: The AP Chinese Language and Culture course is designed to provide students with a learning experience equivalent to that of a fourth-semester college course.  The aim of the course is to provide students with ongoing and varied opportunities to further develop their proficiencies across the full range of language skills within a cultural frame of reference reflective of the richness of Chinese language and culture.  Students must perform consistently well to stay in the class and are required to take the Chinese Language and Culture Advanced Placement Exam.  Course Goals: The AP course prepares students to demonstrate their level of Chinese proficiency across three communicative modes (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational) and the five goal areas (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities).  The course also helps students to develop necessary knowledge of the Chinese language, including pronunciation, vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, grammatical structures, and written characters.  Required Materials: Textbooks:   1)     Tao-chung Yao et. al, Integrated Chinese, Level Two, Textbook (Simplified Character Edition), Boston: Cheng & Tsui, 1997. 2)     Tao-chung Yao et. al,  Integrated Chinese, Level Two, Workbook (Simplified Character Edition), Boston: Cheng & Tsui, 1997. 3)     Tao-chung Yao et. al, Integrated Chinese, Level Two, Character Workbook (Simplified Character Edition), Boston: Cheng & Tsui, 1997.
