The history, language, customs, and cultures of Russia, China, India, Japan, the Philippines, and Thailand are all topics covered in this informative book. As students learn about these far off places and work the accompanying activities, they will build comprehension. The 30 illustrated exercises here enhance learning with information-packed stories about each country. The 'space race' between Russia and the U.S. is covered, as is an explanation of why Japan is called the 'land of the rising sun.' There is even a lesson on Chinese symbols. Learning has never been so much fun. Grades 4-8. |
