My Project

We will have lunar new year school activities in Jan 2023.

I will teach Mandarin character handwriting/calligraphy.

I plan to use these brush pens to teach students to write Mandarin characters every Friday. These brush pen close to the traditional calligraphy brushes which can give students some sense of characters' calligraphy practicing.

One item is use water instead of calligraphy ink, which can help young age students manage the calligraphy learning also keep their clothes and classroom clean. It is a new learning method.

Writing characters help to learn Mandarin characters' structure, they can writing follow the structure orders. Students can easily recognize the characters after daily writing Mandarin characters.

Writing characters can improve reading comprehension.
