Objective: Discuss the causes and results for the Boxer Rebellion.
Explore the political and social conflicts in China at the turn of the century.
Examine the impact and implementation of communism in China under Mao Zedong
Task: You will break into groups depending on whether you agree with Cohen or Harrison for your readings on the Boxer Rebellion. You will have five minutes as a group to come up with a concise opening statement that summarizes the reading and your views. You will then have some time to compile your evidence and points that support this opening statement and you will take turns presenting them to your classmates. This will be a respectful organized exchange of ideas and discussion. After each point of evidence is presented the other group will have an opportunity to respond or ask questions. With the time we have left in class we will be looking at a short video about the Communist Revolution in China. As you watch, you will identify and take notes on the next six events on the timeline beginning with Chiang Kaishek and the Nationalists and ending with Deng Xiaoping.
