HWC Day 54 - Transnationalism & Japan


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.

Please be sure to dress professionally and to wear comfortable shoes for our trip on Wednesday.  Also, you MUST bring a packed lunch to eat on the trip.  You will not have time or access to any place where you can purchase lunch.  Finally, there is a gift shop in the museum IF you choose to make a purchase.

Objectives:  Demonstrate understanding of transnationalism reading.  Discuss and analyze the Japan timeline.

Task:  After you've recorded the daily objective, I'll answer any questions about the transnationalism reading.  Then, you'll have 30 minutes, including a 6 minute "notes" window, to complete the quiz.  When everyone has completed the quiz, we'll spend some time discussing our Japan timeline.  Finally, we'll compare the history of Japan and China.
