East Asian resource website review

[Anonymous]

I found this website for teachers that had information as well as a power point of Asian art work..https://www.boundless.com/art-history/textbooks/boundless-art-history-textbook/japan-after-1333-ce-30/the-edo-period-188/the-edo-period-188-powerpoint-templates/

I am piggy-backing on this thread because I am not able to create a new topic in the forums.

I chose to review the website of The Asia Society, a non-profit organization with a focus on education about Asia. I found the website while looking for material for my curriculum project and found many of the essays insightful.
The website covers all Asia from Japan to Iran, but there is plenty of good material here on East Asia in particular that would be useful for all teachers. The main page has links to arts and culture, including events. There is a special tab for the Asia Society Museum in New York, which exhibits “both traditional and contemporary Asian and Asian American art”.
Of special interest to teachers is the Education tab at the top of the website. There are many great resources here including lesson Plans, how-to Guides, publications, and lots of background readings. There is a biodiversity lesson for younger students, so not all lessons are social sciences. The “Background Reading” tab has some informative essays on women’s roles in contemporary Korea and traditional China, how Japan reveals its past history (in particular in regards to the forced annexation of Korean), and how religion and world views were shaped during different dynastic periods in China.
The “Publications” tab has downloadable pdfs on education reform, and the “How-to Guides” tab acts as an informative page for best teaching practices.
The website is thoughtfully laid out and the essays are very user friendly and good for use in Middle or High School. I plan to use this content with my students.

In preparation for my art and calligraphy lesson plans I reviewed many museum sites and found The Metropolitan Museum of Art to be a fantastic source of art, old maps and even a list of all the Chinese rulers....see the linked page below

all the rulers of China

Although my primary reason for using The Met is for gathering art history primary sources, I found this web site to be a great source of historical information in all three countries of China, Japan and Korea.

It was easy to save the photographs and art samples I needed, the site is quick and accurate, I have found no broken links yet and the overall layout of the information is navigable by both students and educators. I will add this website to my museum links page for my students, which is a place they use in computer lab when researching art and art history.

One of the lesson that I'm planning is on the role of the Samurai in the Japanese's culture. I found this website, http://www.orientaloutpost.com/bushido-code-of-the-samurai.php, which gives detail information on the Code of the Samurai or the Seven Virtues of Bushido. The website is very helpful, and easy to use by my students, when completing their assignment on the Samurai. The website provides an image of the Japanese character, and an explanation what it means to them. The students will be able to have a clearer understanding of the depth and the significance the Code, had in the Samurai warriors.
