Resources for Teaching about China’s Transformation on the Eve of the Olympics

From the Program for Teaching East Asia at the University of Colorado at Boulder

Posted by request:

The complexities and challenges of China today require resources to tap into Olympic preparations and news coverage to explore and examine modern China’s transformations. Key issues that create a lens for us to analyze these transformations include the economy, media literacy, the Olympics, the environment, democracy, and Tibet and recent human rights issues. Check out the compilation of web sites, books, videos and other resources from this year’s series of workshops for educators from the Program for Teaching East Asia.
