Travel with the author as she shares her journal while
touring throughout the country. Then draw on Student Activity Pages and
Observation Pages that include additional information and provide students with
questions to ponder, discuss, and answer. Activities encourage critical and
creative thinking. The activities are based on, and are extensions of, the
information found in the journal.
Journal Strategies
- Read it aloud to your students,
sharing a short portion each day.
- Use it as a model for students as they learn
how to write their own journals.
- Use it as a primary source for student
research on Japan.
- Use it to show how fact and opinion are mixed in primary
sources.
Student Activity Pages
- Use the activities for
extension/enrichment in social studies or interdisciplinary units.
- Use
individual reproducible activity pages in the differentiated classroom for
learning center activities, anchoring activities, or alternate activities.
- Use
the activities to teach higher level thinking skills.
