Q4 - Lesson #30 - Mao's China
I hope you are all well rested from yesterday's Long March. 6000 miles will take a lot out of you...
World War II and the Chinese Civil War: We will touch briefly on several of the key events from these two periods. Of course, we already did much of this via the China - Chronology assignment.
We'll also take a few minutes to look at events surrounding the "Rape of Nanking". I've compiled accounts of these events from two sources, an independent account and one from Japan. You can download those here.
Mao's Rule over China: You'll get a copy of the Mao Zedong chapter from our textbook that we have used a bit. Pair up or work on your own to complete the Mao study guide. Be sure you work productively on this. We WILL be discussing the answers tomorrow in class.
Wednesday, we'll take a closer look at the Cultural Revolution. The Morning Sun website has a lot of very interesting exhibits and activities related to this important and complex period. Feel free to check some of them out.
