This workshop is one aspect of a collaborative project between the Newspapers In Education program of The Seattle Times and the University of Washington Henry M.

The project consists of a six-article series, a teaching guide, and this workshop for K-20 educators.

The series touches on East Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia. The teaching guide provides a lesson plan for each article that includes activities to do with students before, during, and after reading the featured article.
