November 13-17, 20, 21

Countdown to Turkey Day!
MONDAY: Today students will have the opportunity to view one another's JAPAN scrapbooks and comment on them for the author to view. They are FABULOUS! Peer review is a great experience in that students will garner ideas from others, and that the "constructive" comments often back what I have said as well. We'll continue our discussion of the Chapter 26 Review.
TUESDAY: Students will share the Inspiration webs they made on Ancient China and we will review the outlines created. Students will work on other activities using the Essential Readings on China book.
WEDNESDAY: Students will have a brief lesson on the languages of South Asia.
DEAR-Drop Everything and READ. Students should be reading their historical fiction novels about CHINA. Notebooks should be organized for the next three units to come: CHINA, SOUTHEAST ASIA (Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc, and INDIA. Students should store their Japan information in a folder for CRCT review in the spring.
THURSDAY: We'll discuss the various dynasties in CHINA and their contributions and influences in the lesson DYNASTIES RULE. Continued study of Chapter 26 on China. Students will use a PERSIA organizer to select important points on CHINA's Political Influence, Economic Influence, Religious Influence, Social Influence,etc.for homework.
Homework: Finish PERSIA organizer.
FRIDAY: Review of PERSIA organizer. Students will read about the history of the SILK ROAD and make notations on the Silk Road Record.
MONDAY: We'll explore the Cultural Revolution in China, focusing on the Tiananmen Square events in 1989. Students will take notes on an organizer and will write a news article about the event after Thanksgiving.
