My teenage life in China
Jim Whiting
- Reading
- Read a section together, then use its end-of-book questions to revisit what is stated in the text. The research projects can provide a next step if a topic prompts further curiosity.
- Themes
- Country background and an individual viewpoint: The book pairs background on China with a real-life teenager’s views on life there and thoughts about the nation’s future. This structure offers both contextual information and an individual perspective, rather than presenting the teen’s account as the only account.
- Learning features: The book includes defined chapter vocabulary, sidebars, questions tied to the text and research projects. These features give readers ways to clarify terms, revisit material and pursue further inquiry.
- Worth knowing
- The book covers culture alongside politics and the economy.
