Today in class, we finished watching the TED Talk: Understanding the Rise of China that we started on Friday, pausing frequently to discuss key points. After wrapping up our discussion, students completed a free write on the following question:

• Why is it important for us (specifically) to study ancient China? In your response, cite information from the TED Talk as well as the article "Why are Hundreds of Harvard Graduate Students Studying Ancient China? (a link to this article can be found under the "Ancient China" tab on the sidebar)

The map of China assigned on Friday was collected.
