                                            Confucius

Week 10.2

Today in class we will complete our study of China and the Yellow River Civilization.  Our in-class discussion is on the Analects of Confucius and you are to hand in your insights, reaction, and connections to that text.  Other points of interest about Confucius is that September 29 is "Confucius Day" in China where this great philosopher is still honored. 

For next week, begin to read about early Greece in your texts, especially the Minoan and Mycenaean eras.  If you have the time, read this quick and easy version of story about King Minos' labyrinth:  http://www.mce.k12tn.net/ancient_greece/labyrinth.htm
