Teaching about Asian Pacific Americans.
TEACHING ABOUT ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICANS
By Edith Wen-Chu Omatsu and Glenn Chen
Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2006
This collection contains a wealth of lesson plans and activities that can be used in classrooms or workshops. Editors Edith Wen-Chu Omatsu and Glenn Chen structure the lessons they've collected around a political identity of being Asian in the United States, and their dedication to representing an Asian experience beyond the food and festivals is evident. Omatsu and Chen boldly include activities that directly speak to stereotypes, in which students discuss whether Asian characters in various scenarios are behaving in individualistic ways, and take a walking tour of a Chinatown in order to explicitly discuss the differences between it and surrounding neighborhoods.
