Mao: Domestic Policies

Last week students learned about two of Mao's major domestic policies: The Antis Campaign and the 100 Flowers campaign. Students read a series of excerpts from Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang. See me if you need a reading.

Students also took a vocabulary quiz over terms for the unit on Mao. Students were given an assignment to creatively research one of Mao's domestic policies in greater detail.

Agenda 10/31:

1. Student discussion of reading about the Antis campaigns and the excesses of Mao.
2. Students read a series of sources about the Cultural Revolution [see below]. They started with an excerpt from Red Azalea by Anchee Min. In pairs they wrote a short dialogue focusing on one part of the excerpt.
