project at Yale University Art Gallery

the Gate of Yale University Art Gallery

Carrie is giving directions on how to do this project

   It seems that this afternoon is different. Carrie asked us to go to Art Gallery instead of the usual teaching building. About 1:30 pm, we got the assignment: four of us work as a group to make an assignment for students by using the materials in the museum. 
   Rich, Ricky, Joanna and I work as a group and our assignment should be for reading and writing class. Luckily on the second floor we found the inspiration from a variety of Buddha's statues.

   The following is the assignment we hope our students can accomplish within a week. 

Title: Buddha in the world

subtitles: Buddha in _____________ (place)

group work: Students in different group will be required to present                 the development of Buddhism around the world in one                   short essay(at least 450 words). Each group can employ             various media channels  to illustrate their ideas about             Buddhism.     But there should not be overlapping among groups, so they have to negotiate and communicate mutually. 

    We also compose an outline on how to evaluate their essays. We are so devoted to this project as to forget the time. when our group arrived on the fourth floor, there's no time for us to present what we have elaborately designed. What a pity!
