CULTURAL CONNECTIONS

China is a large and diverse country which covers an area roughly the size of Europe. The size of China’s population and the great regional and economic diversity make it diffcult to generalize about many cultural practices, perspectives, and products. ● How is life in China similar and different across different regions—urban/rural? ● How can speaking the language help us access perspectives unique to Chinese people/culture? ● What role does our home environment play in our lives?

● I can identify similarities and differences between homes/communities in the United States and in China. ● I can discuss the cultural differences in the standard of living of China, using teacher provided images and information.
