What do we think about when we hear the word China? Do we think about Location? PICTURE Do we think about people? PICTURE Do we think about animals? PANDA PICTURE What about food? PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE Stereotypes: It’s important to avoid stereotypes We have to remember that what we see and eat here in the USA is very different than in China. In china, they have 3 different food groupings which each need to be balanced -Yin Picture -Yang Picture -Neutral Picture -1 meal Picture (Kung Pao Chicken) We will see these categories in all meals in China. Think about how we celebrate holidays in the US and what kind of food that we eat. -Thanksgiving Picture On a holiday in China, we would see different types of special meals: -Wood ears soup picture -Taguan (Rice) picture -Peking Duck picture This is much different from our holiday meals here in the U.S. It's important that we take the time to learn about other cultures. Not it's your turn to learn about another country and share your findings with the class. Good Luck!
