Friday Fun Discussion

Pizza vs Burgers.  You can only have one of the two for the rest of your life.  Choose!

Discuss!

We don't think of Japan as being an especially isolated place today.  Japan trades with the world and tourism both to and from is wide spread.  But it wasn't always that way.  Japan's geographic isolation resulted in developing a unique culture with very few influences from the outside world.  Despite this fact, Japan took a great deal of influence from the neighboring super power of its time, China.  What do you think?  Was Japan more an independent culture or a copy cat of China?  Argue one way or the other and be sure to give an example or two.

Reminder

 Workbook Pages 70-74 will be due on Thursday the 24th.  Don't forget to study your North America map.  Test on that will be next week.  Hit the break for maps of North America.

Discuss!

Harry Potter or Hunger games?  Which one and why?  I look forward to hear your opinions in the comments!  Have a great weekend!

Reminder
