We’ve started Asian Studies a few days ago. Since last year, I’ve been gathering facts for this huge presentation. My inspiration for the materials were from our past study of China, India, Singapore and Philippines.
My son loves to study Asia. I guess, this is part of his curiosity as we are from this history-rich continent. He has always been mystified and curious. But I do understand him, Asia is a wonderful continent, with so much diversity in culture, beliefs and traditions not mention the breathtaking views and landmarks. Mavi has lots of questions, and I hope to answer those during our studies.
The order of my presentation is this:
- Regions of Asia. Presentation of Asia and its regions.
- Southeast Asia
- East Asia
- South Asia
- West Asia / Middle East
And here’s what we will be learning about each region:
- Major countries of each region (Flags and Map works)
- Interesting Facts (Culture, Lifestyle, Religion, Sports, etc)
- Landmarks and Wealth of Asia (Major Rivers, Natural Resources)
- Asian Cuisine
- Animals that thrives in Asia
Other activities we’ll try are:
- Calligraphy
- Eating the Asian way (chopsticks etc)
- Prepare Asian Cuisine, learn about Asian spices (I always cook Asian foods at home)
- Origami
- Watch Asian sports like Karate, Judo, Kung Fu
- Watch Asian films –> not the animation.
- Watch videos of how people in Asia offer prayer or worship with respect to their religion. This also includes the festivals as festivals are always related to religions.
Our materials:
Asia in a Nutshell
Natural Resources of the World
