Doumen Camp Annual

This posting contains the third edition of the English Camp’s newspaper. This issue of the “Doumen Camp Annual” is by far the best and contains the most content of any paper written for the camp. Jeff Sherlock led the activity this year.

The first two years saw two papers published during the camp, one for each week. These papers focused on informative articles about the staff in the camp. This year’s edition of the camp paper is a bit different. Because the structure of the camp changed a bit this year, Jeff decided to publish one large paper and challenge the students to do more than in past years. I think you will see that the students met the challenge with a couple of very interesting essays. Please remember these are middle school students writing in a second language.

NOTE: As you may have noticed, I have provided support to the team by posting content to this blog. Because of the demands on time combined with the challenges of blogging from China (it is easier to email than blog), I volunteered to be the funnel for the team for posting to our blog. Also for this year I was able to help with the camp paper. Jeff emailed me the student’s writings and photos. I assembled the material and emailed the completed paper back to Jeff.
