The major objective of this instructional program on the People's Republic of China is to help elementary grade students develop an understanding and tolerance of cultural relativism. The development of intellectual, affective, and psychomotor skills through the utilization of subject matter is also an important objective of the program. The program, aimed primarily at grades 4-6, introduces similarities and differences existing between the United States and China. It focuses on the basic cultural components of economic structures, social/political organization, and religious systems. Instructional materials include individualized-activity learning packets, sample lessons for small and large group participation, and creative projects for enrichment. Stories, maps, illustrations, and tests for conceptual diagnosis are also included. The learning packets contain a pretest, word list, study of key ideas, thought questions, and a posttest. These packets include an introduction to social studies, river systems and land forms, art and architecture, and costume. Numerous and varied sample lessons allow the teacher flexibility in planning the program. (KC)
