Mobilizing People: Public Health Campaigns in China

Description:

This lesson uses several online Chinese public health posters from latter part of the 1900s and early 2000 as primary sources. Students work with these posters, applying their existing knowledge of spoken and written Chinese as well as acquiring new vocabularies. Students will learn and practice command sentence structure in Chinese, and assess how language is used to mobilize people in public health campaigns in China—e.g., rhymes, simplified vs. traditional characters, command sentence structures, etc.
