The East Asian Curriculum Project (EACP) of Columbia University is a national project whose goal is to support education on Asia at the secondary and elementary levels. The project has developed a variety of curriculum resources and collaborated with state and local educators in designing units about Asia for teachers. Each packet contains brief resource lists along with the locations and names of resource centers dealing with each country or area. This document on Japan contains materials appropriate for grades one through nine. The teaching units are centered on the use of videocassettes prepared by the Asia Society to introduce children to daily life in Japan. (NL)
