Unit Summary:
Students will select a focus topic/question given a menu of Asia topics from the identified themes: global citizenship, cultural conflict/cooperation, elements of culture, change due to physical and cultural processes. Students will then research their topic/question using the Big6 as a framework to explore a variety of print and electronic sources. They will work in groups, collaborating in a wiki. Students will select a final project to suit their learning style from a menu that ranges from a written multi-genre paper to a Wikipedia-like page representing their learning. There will be a checklist for each project, a general rubric, and a self-assessment used to evaluate the unit.
