Project info

The project description is linked up here

The groups are linked up here.

The reading is linked up here.

Sorry that this was a little rushed in class today.  There are 5-ish of you in each group, and there are four regions we will be looking at, so there will be one region that pulls two philosophers into the dialog. You should divide the regions amongst you so that each of you takes responsibility for one region.

Tonight, read your section of the reading. One of you should start a google document from your home computer and share it with the rest of the group and with me.  Tomorrow you should decide who is going to be which philosopher, I will give you your topic, and you can then start the dialog.

Homework over the weekend--Prevent the empire from collapsing...

Over the weekend, you are to post on your blog how you would prevent the Han Empire from collapsing.  When and how would you intervene?  What problems were there and how would you solve them?

Once you have posted your solution, look at the blogs of the other people in your group and discuss their plan. Try to convince them that your solutions are the best, or affirm the decisions that they made. You can find everyone's blog at: http://www.protopage.com/twhittenburlington#Blog_posts/Class_Blogs

We will briefly discuss the collapse of the Han on Monday, and then we are off to India for more philosophies and fun...
