CPWC Day 61 - History of South Asia

Objective:  Examine the religious and philosophical traditions that have shaped the cultures of South Asia.  Investigate select major developments in the history of South Asia.

Task:  Once again, we have a very busy day ahead of us.  First, you'll use select primary sources on Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism to answer questions about these traditions.  You will be quizzed on this material tomorrow.  

After you've finished the packet, you'll receive the study guide for the unit 6 test and get out the computer to log onto the Moodle.   Open "South Asia Condensed History" and record these notes in your notebook.  Tomorrow, I will check your notebook to see that these notes are completed.
