Intercultural Learning and Map Test
OOPS! The first map I put up had a couple of countries labelled incorrectly!
Below is the correct map!
This quarter we will be learning about the world and different cultures. We will be learning about many countries, with students choosing different countries for Enrichment projects. We will also be focusing on Japan in particular, since Japan has a culture and history far different from our own in Taos. Students have started to read a new book:
The Samurai's Tale by Erik Christian Haugaard. We are also in the process of writing letters to students who live in Japan. In line with this theme, we will be having an Eastern Asia map test this week! Below is the map we are using with the countries on the test.
