Arts and Sciences students Alexander Prescott and Christopher Harris will travel to two cities in the Zhejiang Province in China to teach English and American culture to school-age students through a collaboration with Council on China Exchange in Claremont, CA. To prepare, they will develop a day-long lesson plans, activities, and vocabulary presentations centered on a particular topic of American culture (e.g., family, food and restaurants, movies and music, etc).

Both students will create unique Quest projects out of this experience.
