I don't know if many other CIRs have to do this, but a big part of my job is coordinating international understanding education for the city. Any of the public JHS, ES, Kindergartens or Daycares in the city can send me a fax with a couple of potential dates and times and the country they want to study about, and I have to find someone from that country who can speak Japanese and is available and willing to come to the school and introduce their country to the students. Needless to say, it's one of the hardest parts of my job. Since the guest teachers are completely unpaid volunteers, I do as much of the lesson planning and prep as possible to avoid burdening them with it, but I also don't know very much about most of the countries being introduced. Later this month I'm bringing a Chinese woman to a local ES to teach 3rd graders, and as part of the lesson she's going to read a children's picture book in Chinese. I got a hulemdo to lend me some Chinese picture books, but they were all tiny and there are going to be 74 kids in this class, so I scanned them to show via projector while she reads. If anyone else has to do lessons like these, please feel free to use these books in your class too. The file is rather large (250MB) and contains 4 books; 3 are from mainland China and written in Simplified Chinese, and one (Three Little Rabbits) is from Taiwan and written in Traditional Chinese. I can't read Chinese and wasn't familiar with some of the stories, so I made up my own names for them based on the pictures; the names of the folders are not the actual original names of the stories.
