A lesson plan developed for kindergarten classes but easily modified for other grades. In this unit, the students will explore East Asian culture and literature with a mini-lesson focusing on the characteristics of fiction and non-fiction books. Because this unit is geared to kindergarten, it will include lessons that emphasize the broad characteristics of fiction (make believe, usually has illustrations, includes characters, and has a problem and solution) and broad characteristics of nonfiction (photographs, about real topics, labels, table of content, cutaways, and close-ups)
