Study/learn
Read: Story of the World Vol. 1, chapters 32-33, and Vol. 2, 8-10 & 17 and 21-23. (Read all chapters that are on China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.)
Now that we have an overview of what it was like in China, I want you to look up at least 5 dates for things that were interesting to you, and label them on your timeline.
Note cards:
For this month, instead of giving you more note cards, I want you to go back and check if there are any cards you haven't written. So go back over the previous months and get whatever you missed written on cards.
Now go study your cards and play a game with someone to drill them! The Fontano's use their note cards in their car, how do you use yours? If you can think of a fun way to drill the cards; come to class to teach us how to play, or to tell us what you do to drill them. :)
Become/serve
For class I want each family to pick two dynasties to study and present. Since we have 6 families in our Vanguard I'll have my family do something else. (I'm thinking we'll study up on Japan, New Zealand, and Australia just to get those in.) Come to class prepared with at least 5 minutes of a presentation with pictures and anything else that would make it fun. (Some examples of things you can use is Powerpoint, showing a video, make something or show something that could've been used during that dynasty, make a skit, write a poem to tell, write a story to read to the class, bring food that they ate, anything really!)
Let me know which two dynasties you're presenting, and I'll post it on the blog so we don't overlap. Make sure you write in your commonplace book as you're preparing your presentations! Jot down any thoughts, feelings that pop into your mind. After reading about China I couldn't help but remember the book The Red Scarf Girl. I'm excited to discuss it!
