Shang, Zhou, and Qin Dynasties

on Wednesday 13th, Nov. we wrapped our look at India and China with a discussion of the Shang, Zhou, and Qin dynasties. We also corrected our assignment from last time and then completed one last assignment. Next time we will review and take the quiz on the same day. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Turn in your assignment on Chinese Philosophies from last time.

2) Read pages 86-90 The Shang & Zhou Dynasties and pages 94-96 The Qin Dynasty and complete the following notes sheet to the best of your ability.

Notes: Early Chinese Dynasties

3) On a large blank piece of paper (I have these, if you cannot get your own.) create a large Venn Diagram and label one circle Ancient India and the other Ancient China. In each of the three sections of your venn diagram list 10 items that make these civilizations different and the same. So in the section that is just India list 10 things that are unique or different about India that you have learned. Do the same for the section that is just China, but list those things for China of course. In the middle, overlapping section list 10 things that are the same about both civilizations. Remember, to consider religion, culture, philosophy, rules, events, achievements, beliefs, etc.

If you need further help, please come see me.

Thanks.
