Thanks for the website. If you are interested in Japan resources for seventh grade, I am attaching the lessons I created from my NCTA seminar and will follow with the handouts I created to correspond to it. I used this lesson last year to work on dialogue, emphasize perspective and to teach about the Mongol Invasions of Japan. Students create anime style comic strips of the Mongol invasions during a class activity. They also write what if expository essay that covers the role of chance in history. Finally we used partner journals and current events to work on dialogue and perspective while identifying differing viewpoint of historical events.

I switched to sixth grade this year so I have not been able to tweak the lessons since the first run last year. Please share any changes that you make or feedback you have.

Thanks
