4th quarter Asia culture project--all classes

All students selected a country today to research for their 4th quarter project.
There are 24 countries available and they were assigned via a lottery system.

The five students who were absent will have to select from the remaining countries when they return.

The project focuses on the culture of these South, East,and Southeast Asian countries.
Specific directions and requirements have been provided (2-sided sheet, distributed today) for each of my classes.

HW--All classes-due Fri., 5/8

All classes are to finish the "caste system" pyramid that was begun in class.
3 sentences describing each level of the caste system should be completed already.
4-7 sentence paragraph on the back of the pyramid explaining how your life would be affected if you were a member at one of the levels (Things you could do, things you couldn't do, decisions that were automatically made for you, etc.)
NOTE: about 20% of my students have already completed and turned in their pyramid...so parents, if your son/daughter says they finished their HW in school, it's possible that they did... :-)

All classes are to complete the acrostic using the notes that we completed in class--15.4-15.8.

The acrostic uses the word: "Hinduism", and students are to write a relevant phrase or sentence using one of the letters in Hinduism as the first letter.
Some students are permitted to write a word instead of a phrase or sentence--they have that designation on their "Hinduism" worksheet.

No homework over the weekend

No homework for all classes over the weekend.
We're are studying Hinduism and the creation of the caste system.
Next week we'll also look how Buddhism came to be.
