Today is around the world day! I’ve seen many countries represented including China, Japan, Poland, Australia, Mexico, and France. I planned to wear my kimono today but unfortunately it was nowhere to be found. Here are some creative students from my 3rd hour class. We have karate from China, anime from Japan, and Paco the Walking Taco from Mexico. Awesome!
As we continue our religion unit in World History our most recent topic was the history of religion/thought in China. We discussed Confucianism, Legalism, Buddhism, and Daoism. The students thought they were pretty interesting ideas, and all so different. Daoism was of particular interest because the daoists belief in magic and ghosts led to the invention of fireworks! As an assignment students created advertisements to entice vacationers to visit an area based on the principles of a certain school of thought. Here are some great examples:
Their advertisements were so fun to read! This week we will learn about Islam and the Protestant Reformation. At the end of the week I will introduce the religion unit project.
