Dear Mr. Yeo
I am a sixth-grade student at Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. I’m working on a documentary film on the topic of Chinese Food, and I think you might be able to help me with information. Could you answer some questions for my research?
1) What are the differences in food between Northern and Southern China?
2) What is your favorite food to cook and why?
3) When did Chinese food originated?
4) What do Chinese people eat on a regular basis?
Thank you for you time and consideration,
Sincerely,
Henry. W
Greetings,
In the interest of authentic, performance-based learning, my middle-school students are reaching out to experts about China as they prepare a documentary film about a topic of their choice. If you can, I appreciate very much your willingness to answer a few questions they have, taking just a few minutes of your time, I hope. I’ve tried to make sure they’re asking “expert” questions, after having done basic research already. Thanks for your assistance, and feel free to contact me if you have questions.
