Mongol Trial, Day #2

Some thoughts about the role that the Witnesses play in the trial are linked up here.

The scoring guide that will help to determine the winner (whichever team scores the most points) and your mark is linked up here.

Over the weekend, you should get into the researching of your character.  Who is this person? FOr example, if you are a Chinese peasant, what time period and region are you from? What's your name? What is your life like?  How did the Mongols change your life?  You will need to build your character.  If you are a named witness, like Guillaume Boucher, you need to discover as much about him as you can. (hint: the textbook chapter begins with him...)

You also need to build on today's class to learn more about the Mongols and what they did and where they went, so read Chapter 18!  The sooner you finish that, the easier your job will be in the trial, regardless of your role!
