==Wk1==
Project Jefferson (pre)-brainstorm A topics:
* (1. Why study so and so questions. wk1a)
* Why study the West?
* Did China and Japan learn from UK, France or Germany? Why not all of them together, the whole European experience? Then, who is the New World country that mixes all the best stuffs from European traditions?
* This New World country, how does it see itself? Just a part of the Anglosphere tradition? Or something that dates further back?
* How far back does it want to go, in order to see itself not merely as a "child of England"?
* Cicero, Moses, Voltaire, who are these three guys? Recognizing them as forefathers, makes you a... "child of whom"?
* (2. Gauguin: Where did it come from questions. wk1b)
* What can you think of, when I say the name of this country?
* Is it a country of peace, or a country of war?
* Is it more "free market" or more "socialist"?
* Is its "dream" for everybody? You know "Chinese Dream" right?
* Is it so "patriotic" that it becomes self-obsessed? Or is it more open to a cosmopolitan, diverse world outside?
* Is it more conservative, or more "avant-garde"/progressive?
* Are Northerners more religious than the Southerners?
* What is the one word that characterizes its soul?
* Why do we want to know "from what path this country came from"... its history?
* (3. Like father like son questions. wk2a)
* Who is the "father" of this country?
* Is it an ... (Empire?) like its "father"?
* What does its "topography" (land, terrain, mountains and plains) tell you about this country, compared to... other countries...China?
* Is it geographically more "open" or more "closed, self-contained, self-involved"?
* How fast does its cities develop?
* What does its biggest cities tell you about its economy: Why are they where they are?
(wk2b is for Brainstorm B)
* (4. Founding fragments questions Wk3a1)
* Can you say, or can you not say: itsleader is xenophobic (don't like foreigners)?
* Who started this country (three different groups of people)?
* (5. Conflict and Independence + Foudation of the Union + West and Jacksonian questions Wk3a2)
* Cicero, Moses, Voltaire, who are these three guys? Recognizing them as forefathers, makes you a... "child of whom"?
* In this newly independent country, where is the influence of Cicero? Where is the influence of Moses? Where is the influence of Voltaire?
* From Adams to Jefferson, why is this country like a "little fish gobbled up by a big fish"?
* From Jefferson to Jackson, why is this country like "the big fish gobbled up by an even bigger fish"?
* Why did these farmers make a war on the Bank?
* Why did the cowboys create an sort of an "empire"? Why do we call it, "a nation of cowboys"?
* Why is the fate of this "empire", intertwined with Hispanic nations, and Hispanic people of the Western Hemisphere?

“美国-西方课”的 十几个章，如果分十六周讲，并逐章按书本排列顺序来做 Project，是缺乏合理性的。
Project的话，一个学期作六个，是较为合理的，再多就会有点难安排。
我看这十几个章，分成六个 project 是可能的。每个 project 综合了几个章在里面，打星*的代表是第二次讲。
已经稍微调整了顺序，目前最合理顺序应为： Jefferson 1-3, Guggenheim 4-5, Clinton 6-7, Zuckerberg 8-9, Reagan 10-11, Harvard 12-13。

==The PROPOSED and EXPANDABLE course STRATEGY (繁版)==
* Students have to perform N talkshows on scheduled themes
* For each scheduled theme, students do have to find answers from at least two different countries/cultures compared, requiring them to search answers in different textbook chapters on at least two different countries each time.
* Students are to choose the countries to compare each time.
* Fall: Anglosphere Comparisons: Essays are adapted to "comparisons"
* Spring: Anglosphere and Western Traditions, history and cultural foundation: Essays are adapted to "T/H/CF"
* "How to use textbooks and earn scores in this course" PPT
* Trivia Questions, Partner's 10 Choices, Citizen Tests, Review (Midterm) Exam, Final Exam, Flashcard---have to be adapted to Anglosphere/Cultural Foundations. Questionaire for each brainstorming session is the key.
* Brainstorm for each "theme", and adapt brainstorming questionaires to Anglosphere/Cultural Foundation.
* Each brainstorming questionaire needs "Wikipedia Keys" after class to aid research for talkshow.
* A: How are Chinese people/culture different from culture of the Anglosphere?
* B: After this first "China/Anglo" comparison talkshow AND essay, please identify the categories of comparisons you used to compare China and Anglo, and use the same categories toward subsequent comparative talkshows/essays: comparisons between any TWO Anglosphere countries of your choice.
* C: China is embracing the 21st century. Its pop culture, consumer market, media/entertainment/sports are becoming more global, yes or no? --- Please show me examples (categories) for each argument you make.
* D: The people of a given region in China, are also becoming more aware of 1) other regions, 2) other ethnic groups and social groups, 3) other countries, 4) people, culture, ideas and things from other countries, yes or no? --- Please show me examples (categories) for each argument you make. At least one example (category) per argument.
* Being exposed to these "new things brought by globalization"----Does this exposure generate new changes in the part of China you are focusing on? What are the good aspects of these changes? Why (always answer why)? What are the bad aspects? Why? Please show examples (categories).
* E: Talkshows/essays will start with the first round: Comparison between China and Anglosphere countries. Then we will proceed with the second round: Changes brought by globalization in a part of China you focus on.
* Anglosphere countries are introduced in two "waves": Tier1---US/UK/Canada; Tier2---Australia/NZ/Ireland.
* Tier1: How are Tier1 countries compared among each other?
* Tier2: How is any Tier2 country compared to any Tier1 country?
* F: How are the cultures of: 1) a Tier1 country, 2) a Tier2 country, usually defined?
* What are the fashion styles, music styles, subcultures, famous brands, famous cultural things, that originated from certain cities, of certain Tier1/Tier2 countries? Name these cities and countries.

参考意见
NZ-US-CA, 和 UK-IR-AU 两本，是英美国家社会与入门的教材， Greece-20th 应该是 其他课程的教材。秋季讲 UK-IR-AU中的英国部分，整学期。一周两次课。
春季讲NZ-US-CA（称为下册）的美国部分，时间为半个学期，也是一周两次课，总教学时通常为八周至十周，多数在五一节前结束。 在讲美国文化时，Elaine 的课程会比较赶，其还要负责专四的阅读。至于如何上课，Elaine 一直自主教学。但词汇还是要抓抓。jsn 的意思是，这课不是要教授学生课本知识和记忆，而是教学生主动地对一些文化知识进行知识搜索和理解。Greece-20th是春季接着美国文化课程《西方文化》的教材。课时也大概是八周左右，一样每周两次课。至于《英语国家社会与文化》两教材中的AU等部分，我们没足够课时可以讲，所以只建议学生自学，考试也不覆盖。因为一共三门课，所以分三次考，一般所有老师的试题、补考题 都是一样的。 具体教学方法，如英美对比等等，教师自主安排。统一考试即可。如想分开考试，要咨询secretary, dean。专四阅读不是课，属于五一前的备考附加在我们文化课的内容。 Los estudiantes no deberían poder hacer nada en la estrategia. La lección más importante en sus mentes es el inglés completo, por lo que si se toman el tiempo para resolver problemas culturales, necesitan proporcionar materiales de lectura más claros y supervisarlos para leer. De lo contrario, tendrán dificultades para cumplir los requisitos de la estrategia.
KEEP ADDING TO THIS LIST:
