Title: Article: Leveled Objectives Lead to Literacy in Chinese
Body:
From http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/leveled-objectives-lead-literacy-chinese
Pauline Shuen writes, “One of the biggest challenges in teaching the Chinese language to English speakers is that we do not have a system that allows us to better understand and more accurately assess the development of our students’ literacy. The field of English language learning or even ESL has decades of research—from multiple countries and multiple linguistic backgrounds—on the development of English literacy. …
“…In order to make Chinese literacy more achievable for our students and enable them to become proficient readers, we need a system that allows teachers to better understand and accurately assess a student’s development of literacy in Chinese. For students to read, write, speak, listen, and use the Chinese language effectively in variety of content areas, the system should stress the development of critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills.”

Title: Project 1917: Learn about 1917 in Russia
Body:
From https://project1917.com/about
“1917. Free History” is a project that enables participants to find out about the history of 1917 from those who lived during this defining moment of twentieth century history. The project consists entirely of primary sources. It includes not a trace of invention. All the texts used are taken from genuine documents written by historical figures: letters, memoirs, diaries and other documents of the period. The project is a serial, but in the form of a social network. Every day, when you go onto the site, you will find out what happened exactly one hundred years ago: what various people were thinking about and what happened to each of them in this eventful year. You may not fast-forward into the future, but must follow events as they happen in real time.
The project is available at https://project1917.com/
