Challenging your students doesn't mean it can't be fun, creative, and group collaboration. This is a Geography Asia research or wrap-up assignment that can be used throughout the study of Asia (or modified to fit another topic) in geography, world history, and other social studies classes. I have used this in my class for 7 years and it has been a very successful learning tool. This can easily be modified the assignment to fit various topics. Students and parents love this assignment because it is fun and reflects what students have learned. Students are proud of their work when they finish. The idea of the lesson can be changed to fit studies within other core subjects, such as science. This is a supplemental activity that will enhance students learning within the unit study. The teacher-ready supplemental activities included in this lesson are focused on an Asia Unit.

Students need to understand the evolving roles of women in Asia, as this knowledge provides a deeper insight into the region's history, culture, and society. By learning about the progress and challenges faced by women in countries such as** Japan, China, India, and South Korea,** students can better appreciate the complexities of gender dynamics in these** diverse societies**.

Furthermore, understanding the** changing roles of women** can help students develop empathy, critical thinking skills, and a more nuanced perspective on global issues like gender equality and human rights. Ultimately, this knowledge can empower students to advocate for positive change and promote greater inclusivity and equality in their own communities. So, the next time you open a textbook or watch a documentary about Asia, pay close attention to how women are portrayed. It’s not just about empowerment; it’s about understanding the intricate tapestry of humanity!

OBJECTIVE:

• The learner will study and examine the ancient roles of women in Asia.
• The learner will study and examine themodern-day roles of women in Asia.
• The learner will translate the poem Fu Xuan Women.
• The learner will write a letter to a woman in Asia exploring and expressing his/her feelings regarding the roles and status of women within the country.
• The learner will predict the future roles of women in Asia.

WHAT'S INCLUDE?

• Fu Xuan Woman Poem by Arthur Waley.
• Questions for thought on Fu Xuan Women
• Copies of the poem Fu Suan Women
• Wrap-up reproducible
• Teacher’s Guiding Questions

Articles:

• Role of Women in China
• Role of Women in India
• Role of Women in Vietnam
• Role of Women in North & South Korea
• Role of Women in Japan

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• Bell
• Sticky Notes
• Instructions to the Matchmaker game
• Wrap-up Activity reproducible
• Notecards for two-minute assignment

PREPARATION:

• Laminate four copies each of the reading materials on China, India, North/South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. This may seem like a great deal of work, but it will save you preparation time in the coming years. The room will have been set up in ten centers, placing an article for each center. Since there are only five countries, you will have two centers per country.
• Place a stack of note cards at each table.
• One lunch bag per table.
• Bell to ring to signal to move to the next center
• Place sticky notes at each table.
• Make copies of the Wrap-Up Activity sheets for each country

INTRODUCTION:

Find out what each group knows about women in Asia before you begin this lesson. Divide them into teams of four and present the topic. Give each team a stack of sticky notes. Ask them to brainstorm and list as many ideas or questions as they can come up within five minutes.

Here’s the kicker—(More with purchase)

WARM-UP (GROUP READING ACTIVITY)

The room has been set up into 10 centers: 2 centers for each country being studied. The goal is for each student to visit all five countries, but not to visit all ten centers since some are duplicates. The centers will be timed giving students 10 minutes to complete the reading and

2-minute assignment.

Explain to students that they will be visiting six different countries: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and India to learn the roles of women (and men) in each country and how they have improved. (Note: North and South Korea have been combined into one learning center.)

They will be given 8 minutes to read their activity and 2 minutes to complete the center activity. Once eight minutes have passed, the instructor will notify the class by ringing a bell or using another sound. The remaining two minutes will be used to complete the 2-minute activity (see below).

THE 2-MINUTE ASSIGNMENTS:

MATCH MAKER GAME:

Explain to students, matchmaking is a process of making a match of an unmarried man and woman by a matchmaker, which is a common way of choosing a spouse in ancient China and other Asian cultures. The traditional Chinese wedding is much involved with "matchmaker", or in other words, marriage introducer. In Zhou Dynasty several thousand years ago, the post of "official matchmaker" was set up for management of marriage, supervising and urging young people old enough to marry or widows and widowers to marry. Later, the meaning of "matchmaker" extended to all persons or events that act as a go-between of marriage between two families.

Today matchmaking is still seen as the proper way to marry by the older generation. You will find that parents will trade a person’s resume and will compare it to their child’s to determine if it is a good match. However, there has been given more freedom, from one generation to another, of individual choice to choose a partner.

Tell students they are going to play a game called “Matchmaker”.

(Game included with purchase)

Why have your geography students study Asian Highway 1? First, It is the longest highway in the Eastern Hemisphere! **It also acts as on of the main **trading infrastructure **in Asia. Studying **Asian Highway 1 **offers your students a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into the cultural, economic, and geopolitical dynamics of the region. This major transportation route **spans over 14 countries **in Asia, connecting diverse cultures and economies along its path.

By studying** Asian Highway 1**, also called the Great Asian Highway, students can deepen their understanding of the relationships between countries in Asia, as well as the challenges and opportunities that arise from regional cooperation and integration. Additionally, studying this highway provides students with a real-world case study for analyzing the impact of infrastructure development on economic growth, trade relations, and cross-border connectivity. Ultimately, gaining knowledge about Asian Highway 1 equips students with a comprehensive perspective on the complexities of regional development in Asia and prepares them for careers in international affairs, economics, or transportation planning.

Students will begin the lesson with an optional video, and then move to a song analysis written about the Asian Highway. Students will work cooperatively to complete an interactive reading and dot-to-dot map activity. To wrap up the lesson students will travel the Asian Highway and write postcards from 6 different stops along the highway having learned of the the geography and culture. The class will participate in a most interesting facts group activity, followed up with exit cards. This will allow students to learn from each other.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES:

• **Analysis + Other Videos **(Videos Optional)
• **Let’s Go Korea **Lyric Analysis Activity (2 pages) + Answer Sheet
• **Asian Highway 1 **Reading Activity
• Asian Highway Dot-to-Dot Map + Answer Teacher Guide
• Asian Highway 1 Postcard Activity
• Asian Highway 1 Student Research Guide

***Disclaimer: **Let's Go Korea song written about Asian Highway 1 was composed by a Christian group. Christianity is the main religion in South Korea with Buddhism coming in second; it is important to explore various world religions as in plays an integrative role in the culture. Almost 50% claim no religion at all. *The lesson will be effective if it is chosen not to use this song lyric analysis activity. We encourage educators to modify out lessons to meet their students' needs.

Please note to read the lesson and evaluate the materials scenarios that you, as the instructor, feel the students have the maturity level of handling. There are one or two scenarios that younger students may not be ready to address emotionally, such as how the communist military rewards the killing of escapes. However, there are many safe scenarios that can be used for middle school age groups.
