Room of Japan

In short

How the pages are made

Each page gives a short answer first, then a card with the key facts, then the details. At the end there are questions to think about and the list of sources.

Numbers and facts come only from primary sources. Where we worked something out ourselves, we say so.

Think about it

• Q1Choose one page and find the source for one of its numbers. What kind of organization made that source?
• Q2Which topic would you explain to a friend first, and why?
• Q3What would you like to know about Japan that is not here yet?

There is no single right answer. Talking it over with someone at home is a good way to learn.
