Mapping Asia: A Curriculum Unit Grades Six to Ten.
Stanford Univ., CA. Stanford Program on International and Cross Cultural Education.
This curriculum unit teaches students about the basic physical and political geography of Asia and introduces or reviews fundamental geographical concepts and vocabulary in an Asian context. Each of the unit's five lessons can be integrated into the curriculum where it best suits students' needs, but it is suggested that the unit be taught as a whole. The lessons are: (1) "Getting Oriented to Globes and Maps"; (2) "Countries of Asia"; (3) "What is Asia"; (4) "Learning the Physiographic Features of Asia"; and (5) "Asian Climate." Handouts, transparencies, teacher's guides, and appendices containing conversion tables and a data bank are included. (EH)
