I have no experience teaching Asia-specific topics but am excited about using some ideas from the "Encounters" section in our seminar materials. When reading Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, we discuss marriage customs during Elizabethan times. Perhaps I can create a lesson in which students research Japanese marriage customs as well and groups can present various scenarios in response to questions posed in a love and marriage encounter from the two cultures. Student research can also be used to write compare and contrast essays.
