World History ‘Pause’ Expectations:

While we are on a ‘pause’ here at school I am expecting you to complete the following activity:

1. The Great Wall of Ancient China: Did the Benefits Outweigh the costs? DBQ Packet

1. • You need to read the background essay, answer the questions for the essay as well as answer the questions for all of the documents (A-F)

2. For your China Research Project I would like for you to finalize your topic (make sure it is something that you are interested in, it will be the main focus of class for the near future)

*When we are back to HMTCA we will re-group and make a plan for the China Research Project as well as your China Map Quiz*

If you are stuck on any part of this please email me with any questions. You can email me at: andrea.heller@hartfordschools.org and check my class website at: missheller180@weebly.com

Best,

Mrs Oropallo
