- Mapping Perceptions of China [Asia Society]
For grades 3-5. In this lesson plan students map their own neighborhoods and describe what is and is not included on a map. They then look at historical and contemporary maps (of China, in this case) and compare and contrast use of scale, orientation, etc. with their own maps to understand how to read and utilize different types of maps.
