EVAN-MOOR AROUND THE WORLD GEOGRAPHY SERIES
Each book starts with the re-telling of a folktale from the country being studied. It
is wonderfully illustrated and can even be reproduced. Next is a folktale follow-up. These
discussion starters enable children to discover some of the unique aspects and customs of
the culture. Then, a portion of the story that lends itself to chanting has been rendered
on pocket chart strips. Activities for using the pocket strips to build language are
suggested. AVAILABLE TITLES: China, India, , Nigeria, South Korea, Vietnam
China: The folktale recounted in this unit is ""The Terrible Dragon"". It is illustrated with cheerful line art of a little boy named Wen Li and the fabulous Chinese dragon he invites to his 10th birthday party. It is a story of courage and kindness sure to hold your students' attention, as they begin their education in Chinese culture and family life. Complete follow-up instructions and suggestions focus on traditional Chinese clothing and food, and help students produce their own picture book of the story. Cut-out characters and a story mat are included. This unit also helps children learn subjects as varied as language, math and art with activities tied to a variety of Chinese cultural subjects, including: Writing Chinese Words; Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival; Making Lanterns; Cooking Won Ton; Using Chopsticks; Making Red Envelopes, an activity centered around a Chinese gift-giving tradition; Raising Silkworms and Making Crickets, which includes the writing of a silkworm journal and study of the silkworm life cycle; Doing Tai Chi Exercises; Playing Jump Rope; Playing a Game of Sticky Red Bean, similar to ""It""; and counting chart pages. There are also pages devoted to the Flags of Mainland China and Taiwan, a Map of both Chinas, and a glossary of terms. Activities are always begun with a paragraph of Cultural Background and a Preparation list, followed by complete, step-by-step instructions.

************************************************************************************************
We're in the Pacific Time Zone We prefer you ask your questions about products
and availability by
e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and
keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in
your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer
unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a
book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually
have to call you back or email you anyway. We do check our e-mail frequently
throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a
message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number
clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email
us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time
zone.
