East Asia in the
Geographic Perspective
Newly Redesigned – Optimized for Tablets!
For the start of the school year we have newly redesigned materials on East Asian Geography specially formatted for AP-Human Geography, Pre-AP Geography, National Geography Standards, and 5 Themes of Geography –
and ready for use in the classroom!
For any of the above outlines you will find material (optimized for web and mobile platforms, including tablets) on China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, including:

  • Maps – demonstrating key concepts,
  • Exercises and questions for discussion – for all grade levels,
  • Pictures of people, agriculture, water conservation,
  • Information on language, religions, food, clothing, and more!
An understanding of the geography of East Asia
—its land, water, people, agriculture, and why we call it "East Asia"—
is crucial to understanding the history and contemporary events
in East Asia and the world.
