We briefly reviewed our knowledge of the early Chinese dynasties at the beginning of class. Then we took notes along with a powerpoint on the Zhou Dynasty. In class, we completed a worksheet to process our new information.
Then we introduced Confucius by interpreting one of his sayings. "The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home." How does this apply to the condition of society in the Zhou Dynsasy?
We looked at a primary source about Confucius -- his early life & his teachings. We learned about his teachings on the five important relationships & his views on family. With our table partners we created a list of do's & don't from his writings. We discussed as a class, "How did Confucius' teachings help return order?"
Mapwork was assigned today. There will be a map quiz over Asia on Friday, October 29.
Also please be prepared for a future quiz on the dynasties we've discussed thus far.
