CONCEPTS ADDRESSED

JAPANESE GEOGRAPHY Japan is an archipelago of nearly 7,000 islands; the four main islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. The islands extend more than 3,000 km from north to south, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Japan on the other. Spanning an area of 370,000 km² (two-thirds the size of France), Japan has twice as many inhabitants as France does (8 out of 10 live in cities). The landscapes are often mountainous. Mount Fuji, a dormant volcano, is the highest point at 3,776 m. FUN Japan is frequently affected by natural disasters (typhoons, earthquakes, FACT! and tsunamis). Five new sports were added to the Tokyo AN OLYMPIC DESTINATION Games: baseball/softball, Japan has been an Olympic destination since the 1964 Summer Games, karate, skateboarding, which were the first to be held in Asia. In 2020, the country was set to sport climbing, and host the Games for the fourth time—after the 1972 Winter Games in Sapporo and the 1998 Winter Games in Nagano. surfing.

FOCUS ON 2020 FUN The 1964 Games radically transformed the country with the construction of highways, sports facilities, hotels, airports, and railway lines. FACT!

Japan produces 650,000 tons of electronic waste every year—so that’s one good way to recycle it!

b FIND OUT MORE: Imaginary lines are used to precisely locate each point on Earth: - The equator divides the earth into two equal parts: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. - Lines of latitude, also called parallels, are lines that run parallel to the equator. The best known are the tropic of Cancer (northern tropic) and the tropic of Capricorn (southern tropic). They show latitude (distance from the equator). - Lines of longitude, or meridians, are lines that pass through the poles. Meridians are numbered from the prime meridian, which passes through Greenwich in London, England. They show longitude (distance from the prime meridian). The lines of latitude (from north to south) and longitude (from east to west) form a grid that makes it possible to locate any point on the planet.

MATERIALS: • Text • Three maps of Olympic facilities and corresponding keys: – Map 1: Two Olympic venue zones – Map 2: Olympic venues in each zone – Map 3: Tokyo Bay and key monuments • Map key

Read and study the documents below before answering the questions.

Document 1: Two zones to host Tokyo’s Olympic facilities Fifty-six years after the 1964 Olympic Games, Tokyo was set to host the 2020 Summer Olympics. Organizers planned to use as many existing sports venues—created for the 1964 Olympic Games—as possible, such as Yoyogi National Stadium and Nippon Budokan. The venues are located in an area called the Heritage Zone. In preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games, there were also plans to build new facilities further south, in an area known as Tokyo Bay. In an effort to promote sustainable development, organizers intended to make the area a model for future urban development. Various events were to be held in Yumenoshima Park and Shiokaze Park, which would then serve as relaxation areas. In total, 28 of the 37 venues planned for the 2020 Olympic Games were to be located within an 8-kilometer distance from the Olympic Village, built in Tokyo Bay.

REVIEW

• When you read a map, you: – Read the direction, i.e. identify north, south, east, and west on the map. – Read the title. It tells you what the map shows at a given date. – Read the key, i.e. the set of signs or symbols used to represent reality. – Read the scale. It tells you the distance on the map and the corresponding distance on the ground.

• The four cardinal directions are used to find one’s way around.

• Knowing how to read a map is an essential skill to find your way around on a daily basis.

• A metropolitan area is a big city where the population is concentrated.

NOW, TAKE ACTION!

• When you go on vacation, ask your parents to let you try to guide them on the road or in a city.

• Learn how to spot cardinal directions, based on the sun’s position. Fun fact! The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. And here’s a tip to help you remember: In the alphabet, E comes before W, so EAST  WEST

• You can better estimate the time it takes to travel a given distance to be sure you won’t be late. Here’s a rule of thumb: a child can travel about 4 km in 1 hour.

9–10 yr - Topic 1: Learning about the place where you live; locating it in a larger area, the world; and contextualizing it on other scales (notions of distance, means, and infrastructure). The places where students live are inserted into larger areas (and on a world scale), which they should know how to recognize and name. The activities proposed present maps as a geographical tool. The focus will be on a map’s features, and how to read and use a map when getting around (introducing the concept of scale). b In connection with dimensions and measurements (solving everyday problems involving physical quantities).

10–11 yr - Topic 1: Getting around on a daily basis in another part of the world. The activities proposed address the concept of scale. The objective is to have students understand that you don’t choose a map at random, but based on what you want to do. If you want to walk around the city or locate a major city on a map, you choose the right map with the right scale. b For further study, a comparison can be made between the transportation methods and systems in two major cities: Paris and Tokyo. Students could also be encouraged to use the Internet to connect a point on a map to the actual location (topic 2: Communicating around the world through the Internet). b In connection with dimensions and measurements (solving everyday problems involving physical quantities) and moral and civic education (media education: the right way to use the Internet). - Topic 3: Living better (promoting nature in an urban environment). The activities proposed teach students about sustainable development policies that guided Olympic organizers for 2020 (promoting green spaces, waterways, green corridors, etc.). b In connection with moral and civic education (taking action as an individual).

11–12 yr - Topic 1: Living in a major city / Metropolitan areas and their inhabitants. The activities proposed teach students about the world’s biggest city—Tokyo—and address the issue of sustainable development with these questions: What is the legacy of the 1964 Olympic Games? How can future Olympic Games be made “sustainable”? b In connection with moral and civic education (taking action as an individual and as part of a community). b For further study, students could be asked to compare information about Tokyo with that of another major city in an emerging or developing nation.
