The Independent Learning Project

During last month of school here at SYA China, all classes except Math, are put on hold and the students work in groups of 5 or 6 on a research project.  They are given a theme/topic, must research the topic, set up interviews and do those interviews in Chinese.  They must write a paper and then present their findings.  This past Saturday, the projects were presented to the school community and the community at large.  Although I was not a part of the ILP process, I wanted to support the kids and see what they had produced.
