ANCIENT JAPAN:
an interdisciplinary workshop for middle and high
school teachers

What do your students really know about Japan beyond
their love of anime and manga?

What can you learn to help enhance your lessons on
ancient cultures that includes the excitement of Japanese
animation and comics?

Come to this special workshop that will introduce you to content information on Ancient Japan from prehistoric times to the age of the samurai. Using images, texts, and other materials that will help you bring Japan alive for your students, Professors Hockley and Dorsey of Dartmouth College will share their years of expertise with teachers who are interested in deepening their own knowledge of Japan (beyond origami and kimonos) and sharing it with their students in creative ways.

WORKSHOP WILL BE OFFERED ON TWO DATES:
March 18 at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH
April 29 at SERESC, Bedford, NH

The April 29 workshop will also be offered via video conference to NCES in Gorham, NH for teachers in the North Country.

All workshops will run 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

REGISTRATION FEE: $35.00
Register today, as space is limited.
Print a registration form.

This workshop is offered through generous support from The Freeman Foundation, The New Hampshire Humanities Council, and The Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnerships.
