ACTIVITIES
1 Find Niigata on a map of Japan. Which island is it on? Niigata has a population of 457,783. Which New Zealand city would be of similar size? 2 Alice Vincent says that Japanese schoolchildren and teachers often stay at school very late. Using your knowledge of work, population and housing in Japan, say why you think this may happen. 3 Look at the photograph of Alice at assembly. In what respect does this look similar to a scene at a New Zealand high school; in what way is it different? What
does it tell you about the changes in Japan in the last 80 years? 4 Pretend you have the job of looking after a Japanese pupil who has just come to your school. Make a list of the rules and customs this person would need to know, and might find strange. . 5 ( i) Monitor “The Press” for a week and collect all the information you can find about Japan. (ii) Cut out newspaper advertisements for all the products you can find that are made in Japan. (iii) Find a picture of the Japanese flag and draw it on a very large piece of paper or card.
