HWC Day 50 - China Wrap-Up

IMPORTANT:  Due to concerns about traffic, our departure time for the field trip on 11/28 has been moved up to 7:00 am.  This means you will need to be at school by 6:50 for attendance so the bus can leave promptly at 7:00.  Our return time will be around 2:30.

Objectives:  Analyze the timeline to evaluate the course of events in 20th century China

Task:  After you've recorded the daily objective, please pass your permission slips to the front of the room and get out your "Silk Road Investigation."  We'll spend time reviewing and correcting these sheets.  Then, we'll examine the China timeline for continuities and changes in Chinese history.  Finally, we'll spend the remainder of class participating in a live blog while we watch "Tank Man," a documentary about the 1989 Tiananmen square protests.
