India and China

On Mon. 19th, sept. and Tues. 20th, Sept we began our unit on Ancient India and China. We began by looking at a video called The Story of India: (Episode 2) The Power of Ideas. This video gave us a great introduction into some of the powerful ideas, people, and events of ancient India.

We then took some time to analyze the physical geography of India and China and how these features along with climate helped influence the development of civilization in these areas.

If you were absent you will need to write a 1 page typed report double spaced on ONE of the following topics to make up for the video:

1) The Origins of Buddhism

2) The Mauryan Empire

3) Chandragupta Maurya (The First Emperor of the Mauryan Empire)

4) Ashoka (The grandson of Chandragupta)

Also you will need to complete the worksheet:
