 JAMES DEAN 

James Dean’s art has sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. He has devoted his paintings to Pete the Cat for fifteen years and has turned his natural love for cats into his life’s work. In 2004, Kimberly and James Dean sat down at their kitchen table to work on a children's book together. They left corporate jobs in the late nineties (James was an electrical engineer; Kimberly worked in the press office of the governor of Georgia) to pursue their passion for art, and they have experienced a life made up of strange and wonderful coincidences ever since. Their dream has finally become a reality with the release of the new Pete the Cat book, Pete's the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. James published his first adult book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006. He illustrated his first self-published children’s book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008, and the follow-up book, Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes, in 2011. Pete the Cat has brought magic into their lives. They work in side-by-side studios in Savannah, sharing their home with five cats and Emma the pug. James lives in Savannah, Georgia, with his wife, four cats, and one dog. You can visit him online at http://www.petethecat.com

Born 1957 in Fort Payne, Alabama, James Dean spent the majority of his early years watching his father, a self-taught artist, reproduce the art of the masters as a hobby. James, only in first grade, began drawing from cartoons such as Disney and Snoopy. Today, his art has sold in more than ninety galleries and shops across the United States. He has devoted his paintings to Pete the Cat, a scrawny black kitten James adopted in 1999 for years, and has turned his natural love for cats into his life's work. James published his first adult book, The Misadventures of Pete the Cat, a history of his artwork, in 2006. He illustrated his first self-published children's book, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, in 2008, and the follow-up book, Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes, in 2011. James lives in Savannah, Georgia, with his wife, four cats, and one dog.

First of all, the first festival we did was "Confucius' Birthday" or "Teacher's Day".  In class, we gave a simple introduction of Confucius and his book "LUNYU" and then we did the activity called, "Ba zhihui mao". I attached many Confucius words on the ox's tail and students took turns to pull out one of them which symbolized you took some wisdom from Confucius. Off class, we served a hot tea to all the teachers who devoted themselves in Education.

Second, we had Chinese Conversation Hour once a week.  I taught them how to use simple Chinese to do self-introduction, make an order in restaurant, to say different jobs and positions. In addition, I seized the chance to introduce my country. I wrote a poem to show Taiwan in various aspect. Also, I combined Board game into my Chinese Teaching which make the class more fun and interesting meanwhile students can use sentences actively.

The workshop was help by the Georgia Department of Education, Georgia Southern university, and Savannah-Chatham county public schools. 

It is a collaborative workshop which means unconference.  An unconference is a spontaneous discussion-based gathering of educators in which there is no presider or leader; rather participants will actively engage with one another and share strategies for what works and what does not work when helping students acquire a second language. Participants will determine the day's topic during the online registration process.

During the discus, there will be a facilitator who will ask questions and invite participants to express their opinions. Also, there is a recorder who recorded the summary of the discussion.
