The guide outlines a course of study for elementary students on the history, geography, language, and general culture of China. Course objectives are to identify the major mountains, the major cities, and the types of climate affecting each region of China; locate and record on a time line the important events in the development of Chinese civilization and the major Chinese contributions to civilization; and compare a school day in the life of a Chinese student with that of an American student showing evidence of socialization by the educators of Chinese students. Suggested teaching strategies include questioning techniques, small and large group discussions, multi-media happenings, group reports, debates, and writing dramatic skits. The guide is comprised of the following five units: 1) Introduction; 2) Geographic Phase; 3) Historic Phase; 4) Humanistic Phase; 5) Culmination. Objectives, resources, and teaching strategies are provided for each unit. The appendix, comprising half of the guide, contains games, maps, sample guide questions for films, a dramatic skit depicting a Chinese school, readings, and a multiple choice test. (RM)
