This project will choose a number of topics dealing with Chinese culture, society, history and politics and will identify illustrative web sites in Chinese on these topics. On the basis of these materials and incorporating critical commentaries, questions and activities, the director and her assistants will produce a minimum of five “prototypes” for use in the instruction of “Chinese 103: Multimedia Chinese.” These theme-based prototypes will serve both as focal points of classroom discussion and as models for students in the course, who will be required by the end of the semester to have produced their own theme-based reports for presentation in class and for posting on the course web-page.
