Humanities 10 Japanese Project

The Meiji Restoration Project!

hey guys, here is your project to be done over break. I would like you to compose a 2 page (double spaced) journal. Imagine that you are a student living in a villiage outside of Edo during the Meiji Restoration and Saigo's Revolt. Write a personal journal entry describing your days events and what your life is like (specifically with your family and friends). YOU WILL HAVE TO DO OUTSIDE RESEARCH TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. Look into how the Meiji Restoration impacted the lives and minds of the Japanese. A brief internet search should yield interesting results, and make sure to use your packet as well!

This project is designed to assess MYP Criterion B, C, and D! Good luck!

TOK faith reading #4!

You guys have done a great job dealing with the very difficult course readings on this subject, so I have decided to challenge you in a different way. The reading below will be SIGNIFICANTLY easier than those of St. Issac, Siddharta, and Ibn Rushd. They will, however, provide a VERY different perspective, and one that you do not have ready access to. I invite you to approach this with an open, yet critical mind. I look forward to our discussion of it on Saturday!

Have a great weekend. Have fun with this reading...
