Why was this site created?:
Since the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) requirement for sixth grade Texan students is to learn about world cultures, this Web site was developed with them in mind as the target audience. Moreover, because Asian studies is a widely neglected area of study in the sixth grade, our focus on Japanese culture was our way of highlighting Asian culture and providing a tool for teachers wishing to teach more about this interesting culture. However, it is our hope other visitors will find this Web site informative and exciting to explore. |
