Lesson #5 - China Introduction
We'll start our look at China today with some introductory activities. First, we'll take care of a little business from last week...
Today, we'll look at the third section ("Global Economy") from the Global Progress Report, 2006. We'll finish off those final two sections the next two periods. Keep doing each of those things from the cover sheet for the sections.
Next, here's a list of "who's who" for the Russia VIPs. Here's the scoring rubric again as well. (In all cases, I listed 2nd hour first, then 4th. If there is only one name, that's a figure that appears in 2nd hour only.) By the way, the rubric is from my "old" web pages. If you follow those links, you'll get to information from past years. Due dates, etc. should only be trusted on this blog.

REMINDER: Your first"Current Events" assignment of four stories is due Friday, January 27th. You follow the template I emailed out exactly. Four stories, one related to each of the regions that we study this year... Africa, Middle East, Russia, China.
Back to China... The China - Chronology starts tomorrow, and your China -Geography Quiz is Wednesday.
Let's try and do three things today. You'll get a handout for each, and we'll make use of the overhead projector. You don't need to take any notes, but feel free to ask questions and make comments.
First, let's look at China "By the Numbers." We can both compare China to other countries and make comparisons over time.
Second, we'll look at five "maps" of China that show different aspects of the country and it's people. You'll interpret these maps for us in small groups.
Third, we're going to look at the results of a survey done to measure Chinese attitudes of the United States. Again, you'll each get a part of the data, and we'll try and draw some conclusions together.
