Japan + China + Bower's= Japanese Proj and field Trip to a Museum yehaha :)

The Bower's Museum helped us learn a few interesting facts about Chinese culture. The Bower's Museum also had some artifacts that was found, it was fragile. The artifacts teach us more about how the Chinese may have lived back then. I learned that that the Chinese were very auspicious people. On their silk robes there are nine dragons, because nine is an auspicious number. The Bower's Museum showed us how to present artifacts and culture. Seeing their exhibits helped us to understand how we may present.
My group (Melina Castorillo, Tiffany Chu, Micheal Park) will present Bunraku Puppetry. First we will present history and information that we have collected in our allotted time. Then we will show our fellow 7th graders how Bunraku puppeteers actually control a puppet. My group had different jobs for the project. We all tried to share information. We researched history on the topic, as well as look at some videos that showed us Bunraku puppets, puppeteers, and everyone involved in a Bunraku play. I also learned about important people like Chikamatsu, a famous Bunraku play writer.
I loved watching others present their Japanese exhibits, each project gave us different information. It was fun to see what they learned and show us visuals, plus give us a few demonstrations. It was a good experience, I learned many new things.
