Tang and Song Dynasty Packet (Blank)

Click HERE for a copy of the Tang and Song Dynasties packet. The packet is blank, but has the handouts from in class. If you have been absent, we have completed this packet, which you can do based on the readings.

For homework tonight, students are to complete the advocate/judge sheets. Click HERE for a copy of these sheets. If you were absent, complete the advocate form, not the judge one. The debate will be about Footbinding and treatment of women and Civil Service exams and treatment of boys. So basically, you will be arguing which practice had the greatest impact on China. Again, if you were absent, choose a side (Girls & Footbinding OR Boys & Civil Service Exams) and complete the advocate sheet for them.

The readings can be found HERE if you were absent or did not have a chance to finish reading them in class.

If you have any questions, please email us.
