Introduction to Japan

Today, we looked briefly at where Japan is in the world. We looked at "snapshots" of Japan's culture, history and geography in order to get a feeling for the land and its people. The slide show can be found here slide show of Japan
We also had a chance to share what we know with a KWL exercise: What we know? What we want to know and what we learnt: ( you will be able to access your KWL document here once it is finished). Everyone put in a great effort coming up with ideas!
We also had a chance to label a map of Japan with its oceans, its islands and its neighbours. As an extra, I asked you to label Tokyo and Mt Fuji (aka Fuji San).

If you missed this exercise, the map can be picked up in Mr. Marshall's room.
