44. Japan Case Study (12/6 & 7)
Essential Question: What does the public education system of Japan look like?
As a pair, you will investigate the current conditions, social/cultural pressures, daily life, and possibilities for the future of public education in Japan. On day one, we will start with a selection of videos from YouTube giving an overview of how the Japanese describe their schools (kindergarten and high school). By the end of the period tomorrow, you are to complete the chart below (this can be the same as your partner’s chart) AND each write your own unique 5-8 sentence paragraph in a CEA model (Claim, Evidence, Analysis) summarizing your findings and answering the Essential Question (EQ) of the activity (this cannot be the same as your partner’s paragraph). When you are done with your paragraph, team up with another pair to make a poster about Japanese schools, using specific examples from the documents. (HANDOUT)
