Before class, I created a seating chart based on their previous grades and status. I have written the warm-up on the teaching board. The first warm-up is to introduce yourself to everyone. On the blackboard, I will also write a few questions, hoping that they can answer them in class in the future. After that, they would warm up in their notebooks every day and hand them to me after class. After each question, I will give the correct answer and share the answer with the students.

Then they need to discuss why they are interested in Chinese history and what their favorite Chinese history and culture are. Through this activity, they built a relationship and made our curriculum relevant to their needs. We will put the most common ones as our class agreement and stick them on the walls of the classroom.
