http://vialessonplans.blogspot.com/2007/05/superhero.html
VIA vols unite to collect our oral English lesson plans! Tuesday, May 8, 2007. 1 Show them pictures of a few different superheroes and ask them to name them. Then ask them what they all have in common. None of my classes knew the word, so I then wrote it on the board. 4 Give each team something silly (toilet paper, etc.) and tell them that whatever they are given must be part of the superhero- either a weapon, the enemy or the superhero itself. Give them 5 minutes to prepare. Thinking Outside the Box.

Recommended Chinese Delights: May 2007
http://zhongcan.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
A compilation of recommended dishes by China VIA volunteers. It's Happy Belly Time! After our experiences abroad, we are tired of re-inventing the "what to order or eat" wheel in China. Tired of being unable to eat at that cool looking hole in the wall mom n pop joint because they don't have picture menus? Tired of asking the waitress for her recommendation and being sad that you get pig's brains instead? Monday, May 7, 2007. Pinyin: sū yóu chá (butter tea). Go slow because it takes time to get used to.
