TEACHING ABOUT EAST ASIA
Using
the same strategy employed in this week's seminar session, identify
an aspect of Japanese history, civilization and / or culture to explore
in the classroom in terms of some (or all) of the various "codes
of conduct" we have discussed.
Develop your lesson plan so that it considers your chosen subject in historical (and, perhaps, comparative) perspective; don't merely develop differences but incorporate explanations for those differences that emerge from the fuller understanding and appreciation of Japanese civilization and culture gained from the past few seminar sessions, the assigned readings and the various materials available on the web.
