Task:  Ni hao!  When you arrive to class, please get out your East Asia map in preparation for your homework assessment.  After you finish your East Asia Map Check, please turn it in at the back of the room and pick up "Who Was Confucius?" to work on next.  We'll review the Confucius worksheet before continuing our notes on the religious and philosophical traditions of East Asia.  Finally, we'll spend the last portion of class finishing the Silk Road exploration that we began yesterday.
