我想成為一名旅行者！地理與文化：東亞

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. This class will look at some countries that are part of East Asia which include China, Hong Kong, Macau, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

Consisting of teacher-led presentation, read-aloud, videos as well as active student discussion and interactive games, this class is perfect for all types of students. Especially true for those who love or want to travel or for those who just want to get a feel of how another kid their age goes about their day on the other side of the world. 

Learning about how others live and interact on a daily basis plus their customs and beliefs help individuals learn more about themselves and the values they hold near to their heart. Optional activities such as recipes and/or crafts will be given for those that want to have some more fun at home learning about a location.

The class structure allows for varying learning styles, attention-spans, interests, and special needs. I believe in effort. Effort in trying, the process, curiosity, wonder, and thinking! These principles, along with kindness will be guides in our class discussions and activities.

During each class, students will learn about 4- 6 areas about the East Asian countries --Maps, Overview, Daily Life, Folklore, Culture, and Fun Facts. 

Maps: learning and applying the names of countries and/or cities for that location
Overview: general information of the location
Daily life: the way in which similar aged kids go about their day in that location
Folklore: usually a story that has been passed down through the generations that uphold that location's beliefs
Culture: includes food, crafts, fashion, celebrations, customs and/ or games
Fun facts: any unique trivia type facts about the location
