Hello. My name is Mallory and I am about to embark on an opportunity of a lifetime! I (along with three other students from Shawnee State University) will leave on February 4, 2008 to student teach in China. I will be teaching at Guangdong Teachers College of Foreign Language and Arts, located in Guangzhou, China. For those of you who are not geography buffs, Guangzhou is in the southeastern part of the country and is relatively close to Hong Kong. I will be teaching an intensive reading course to 16-year-olds.
With less than three weeks until our departure, I have been incredibly busy writing lesson plans (I am shooting for 50, to be exact), trying to learn Chinese, and thinking about what all I should pack! Overall, I'm very excited and a little nervous, but I am looking forward to what lies ahead.
This blog will document my experiences while living, learning, and experiencing China. I hope you follow along with my journey....
