Class Reflection

Addressing the last several classes:
These classes were pretty low key. Not much that I found worthy of refelection. I'll make a note of them here anyway.

January 15: We got back assessments today. Not much to reflect on.

January 11: Assessment today on Mauryan and Gupta

January 9: Mrs. Daley was absent today. We did a venn-diagram as prep for the Rome & Han Essay

Is Geography Destiny?, Part 2


I was working on my essay and considering the massive influence of Confucianism on Han society, when it hit me:

A feature not related to geography impacting a society in a major way! Outrageous!

Is geography solely responsible for Confucianism, or it there more to destiny after all?

Class Reflection

Today's class was interesting. I was particularly interested by our current events discussion at the beginning of class. We should devote 5 minutes at the beginning of class once a week to current events, linking them when possible to the current curriculum.
