Today’s topic was a bit series, the impact of Globalization to the society, economics, culture, political, and so on. Nevertheless, the class interaction was active still.
Topic：The Impact of Globalization
Field：Social Science
Goal：To practice the pros and cons of one topic, from setting up the tone, looking for proof and debating.
So, one of the pros of Globalization are of course the smoother flow of information and resource; however, is it also the cause of bigger gaps between the haves and have-nots?
In terms of social cultures, the teacher also raised a question about whether we should keep the mother tones. The teacher shared the current theories/ ideas from both sides to stimulate the class’ discussion and well-round thinking and also encouraged the class to persuade one another with their own thoughts.
Even sitting outside the classroom, we felt the enthusiasm from the class discussion. Through this kind of meaningful topics, the goal is to let students practice their critical thinking in fluent English.

L3 is entirely research-based. Here's what the research says:
- College success starts in middle school - the best predictor of college readiness is eighth-grade literacy.
- Students learn best when texts are differentiated by reading level.
- Grouping texts by theme help students relate what they read to their lives, and motivates them to keep reading outside of school.
