Initial Ideas
- At the beginning of the class, I want to examine their prior knowledge of the similarities and differences by asking them write down their initial ideas on a padlet.
2. In this writing workshop, students will be divided in two groups. One group will be asked to research on the similarities of cultures between China and the United States, while another group needs to focus on the differences.

3. Students need to collect related sources or useful information by using appropriate new media, including Google, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. They will be encouraged to communicate with American online users from Facebook or Twitter about this issue.
