Task: As you come into class, please pick up the South Asia work on the side table. I'll go over the due dates and assignment expectations before distributing the test. Then, we'll use the rest of the class to complete the East Asia test. If you finish early, please turn in the test and work on your South Asia assignments or FCP in silence.
Our studies in the news:
"Japan PM Abe Warns China of Force Over Islands Landing" (BBC -4/23/2013) This news story about rising tensions between Japan and China includes an analysis section.
"China's Xinjiang Hit by Deadly Violence" (BBC - 4/24/2013) Details the most recent clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese communities in China's "far west."
Trailer for "My Country is Tibet" The King of Tibet, living in exile in Dharamsala in Northern India, is the 17-year-old Namgyal Wangchuk Trichen Lhagyari. As the only recognized descendent of the first Dharma King of Tibet (617-698 AD), Trichen carries the unique responsibility of representing Tibet's unbroken history and heritage. Yet, as a teenager, he also represents a new generation of young Tibetans who are caught between the peaceful traditions of Tibetan Buddhism and a desperate desire to fight for the freedom of their people.
