Bangkok Post Student
Weekly.
Want to know what's on the minds of Thai students? Check out this
supplement
to the Bangkok Post, Thailand's leading English-language newspaper.
Family
trees.
Dreading
that inevitable genealogical assignment at school? Use the link to
review
some diagrams of alternative “family trees” that may better suit an
adoptee's history, while satisfying the teacher’s educational
objectives. The
excellent www.familyhelper.net
site from Canada also has good suggestions in its Teacher's Guide
(module 3); Webmaster's kids have used the Self Wheel with great
success in family tree assignments.
ThailandLife. Frequently
updated
Website created by Thai teen including many photos and details about
life
for teenagers in Thailand. Also has a language-learning section.
Recommended for older teens and adults. The
Webmaster previously battled drug addition and offers a pull-no-punches
series of interviews
about his struggles, plus the story of his turnaround and his life as
father of a young child. He is currently serving a prison term for
prior drug possession, and has a separate Website/blog discussing these
experiences.
Thai Students. A HUGE
Website
created by students of the private Sriwittayapaknam School in Thailand.
Pages on culture, holidays, Leo DiCaprio, scouting in Thailand -- you
name
it, if kids are interested it's probably here. Especially interesting
background
and pull-no-punches bulletin board regarding the controversial "Anna
and the King" story and movie.
Thailand, Jewel of the
Orient. PBS site related to their "Living Edens" program on
Thailand. You can buy the video here, and explore a variety of
information,
including much information about nature subjects. Great place for
researching
a school report.
