TEACHING ABOUT EAST ASIA
Taking into account our seminar discussion on Chinese and Japanese geography (and any of the assigned reading you might have completed), what specific subcatagories would you consider part of an introductory survey of this important subject matter area to be included as part of an introduction to China, Japan, Korea or East Asia in general, one appropriate to a given (or anticipated) school setting in which you might find yourself asked to consider such a topic -- and why would you include this particular information?
How might a consideration of geography be made relevant to one or more of the areas of interest involving East Asia that you identified in Journal Assignment One?
As you ponder these questions, you might take an extended
look at Ronald Knapp's GEOGRAPHY
of China Internet web site for inspiration (as recommended on the
seminar's INTERNET WEB SITES page).
