HWC Day 50 - Comparing China & Japan

NHS Pasta for Pennies donations collections are happening NOW!  All donations benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  If you are willing and able, please consider donating to this worthy cause!

Objectives: Continue to examine the social, political, and economic changes in Japan.  Identify similarities and differences between China and Japan in their response to the West.

Task: To start class, you'll break into groups to debate the Meiji Restoration readings. 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 primary source documents to compare and contrast the different responses of China and Japan in confronting western influence in Asia. We will finish this activity by getting into groups and creating a Venn Diagram.
