Season 2 | Ep 25 | The Sun | A Chinese Tale

Golpo | Stories From Around the World

How far is the Sun from you?

When is it the farthest? When is it the closest? Does it seem close and far at the same time?

The Sun, is a Chinese Tale that is versatile in the classroom. From Primary, to Middle to Senior School, this ONE story can be told and retold to introduce, teach and reinforce concepts of Sun, Latitude - Longitude, Solar Energy, Time, Distance and Trignometry!

This is an example of what we call, Hook - a - Tale (a story that intrigues) and Story-Fix (a story that poses a problem). Tell this one at the right time of the teaching journey and you will see how it can used and reused over and over again.
