Families of Thailand Teacher's Guide
http://www.familiesoftheworld.com/teacherguide/ThailandTGuide.pdf
Audience: Elementary to Middle School Teachers
Families of the World produced a 28-page Teacher's Guide about Families of Thailand. While designed for use with a video, the Teacher's Guide works on its own. It describes a day in the life of several Thai children, with a glossary, follow-up discussion points, activities and questions and answers. Following this is a series of lessons on the environment and history, a map and set of facts about the geography, people, government and economy. This is a comprehensive way to introduce kids to Thailand.
