Objective: Examine the ideas and influence of indigenous and diffused religions in East Asia. Discuss contemporary China in relation to the United States and the global community.
Task: We'll start class with an activity comparing China and the US. Then, we'll begin our notes on the geography and religions of East Asia. Next, we'll work on developing historical questions on the Moodle. Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class reading, "The Chinese Communist Party, Would Mao Recognize the Paradox?" an article about contemporary China. As you read, be sure to take notes on the following:
- What is the main argument of the article?
- What evidence does the author use to support his/her argument?
- How does this article help us to better understand contemporary China?
