Unit Abstract

In this unit of study students access prior knowledge about family members and numbers. They identify professions and related work places. They learn to ask and answer questions about professions, work places and salaries. Students also compare salaries in similar professions between China and USA. They continue to develop recognition of characters within the context of currency as well as explore pinyin, radicals, and writing characters. As a result of this unit of study, students become aware that professions in China play the same roles as in the USA.
