Monday, 10/17/16 World History – Subject for today Project Asia
POD – Topic and activity: CNN Headline News (from Friday) Discuss project To LMC to get started Journal none Homework today: Start preparing your project

Project Asia Goal: you’ll be teaching a cultural or political aspect of Asia You’re expected to take about a half hour of our time; be prepared for me to interrupt Be so prepared that you won’t need notes, and you’ll be practiced enough to start at the start of class

Goal #1 Include “visuals,” multi-media
NOT just Power Point – use various forms of communication You-tube clips are fine, but be SURE they are “clean” and appropriate. Think of what Donald Trump would say, then don’t show that. Keep clips SHORT, about seconds at MOST

Goal #2 Include an article (or excerpt) on your topic
Could be an aspect relating to your topic Should be professional Could be primary or researched Should be cited Is due THE DAY BEFORE your presentation We’ll read it the night before you present, and you need to: Prepare insightful questions you’ve developed for us to answer from this article. Should be less than a page

Goal #3 Include conclusions on this topic.
Show you’re being contemplative Example: If you’re presenting sites in China, get into what you might like about climbing the Great Wall, reacting to what others have said about it.

Noteworthy items to think about:
Planning is a key! – practice, and have a half hour planned out, so I can interrupt Be SURE everything works on our CR systems Good idea to test it all the day before your due date Do NOT read from your slides. Include proof where needed by using numbers, or reference to someone official/expert Look professional. Dress the part. BE THERE. Don’t be sick. Don’t be sad. Don’t be unprepared. Treat this seriously.

Topics: Eastern Medicine, health and healing
Clothing and food of China and Japan Population, Poverty and people concerns in China Three Chinese Philosophies, and two Asian Religions Unique Chinese customs Sites to see in China and Japan Martial Arts, Yoga, Tai Chi The Samurai Culture, customs and eventual modernization of Japanese North Korea The Asian Tigers China as a Super-power
