New Lesson Plan from The New York Times Learning Network on tensions among China, Japan, and Korea. In this lesson, “Anger and Aggravation in Asia: Examining the Relationships Among China, Japan and Korea Through Multi-Layered Timelines,” (http://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/lessons/20050413wednesday.html) students examine current disputes between nations, and then, after learning about current tensions among Japan , China and South Korea , research and create timelines outlining the development of relationships among these nations. They then write letters from the perspective of a leader of one nation to a leader of another nation studied in class. Based on the recent article “Tokyo Protests Anti-Japan Rallies in China” by Norimitsu Onishi (http://www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/featured_articles/20050413wednesday.html)
