Greetings,

There is so much in the media today regarding Japan, Yasakuni Shrine, and Asian relations. It would be great to teach students about perception through how Japan perceives its self in WWII. I would give my students an overview of Japan's role in WWII and I would discuss the common perceptions held by some Japanese. I would then have them watch a WWII film from the Japanese perspective and one from another perspective. I would have them analyze each film and I would have them write an essay about the perspectives of each and why each film has such a perspective.
