Class Assignments

Tuesday 10 January 2012
I hope all of you turned in your "Shintoism/Christianity" final copy.  You also got back rough drafts on the compare/contrast paper on popes' clothes.  You need to write the final copy of that and get it back to me.  If I told you to provide more information, google both and get the information.  Then have someone proofread your paper before you write the final copy.
For the homework for Friday, I am going to give you the questions I hastily put on the board for you.
Women in China
1. Describe women in ancient China.  Tell what they could do, education, clothes, and the way they were
 treated by the men in China.
2. Describe the women in the Bible during Jesus' life.  Tell what they could do, education, clothes, and the way they were treated by the men at that time. (Leave Jesus out of this paragraph)
3. Describe modern women in China.  Tell what they can do, education, clothes, and the way they are treated in today's society. (Don't forget to include a sentence or two about abortion)
4. Describe how Jesus treated women of his time.  Cite examples: ie: Matt.5:6.
5. How does all this make YOU feel?  Did you like the way women were treated, then and now? What
emotions did you feel as you read these accounts?  What did you  like, dislike?  What conclusions can you draw from this research?
Each of these requirements should result in a paragraph, so this paper should be 6 paragraphs.  Remember you must have an opening paragraph.  Your closing paragraph is #5.  Please double space this paper and we will use it as your rough draft.
You got your book report assignments and I will list them now.  These are due Tuesday January 17.
