The Explorers of the Age of Exploration: Spanish and English
Discussion with video clip about Spanish Armada
African oral traditions
The griots were storytellers in ancient Ghana who would tell stories to villagers gathered around a central fire after dinner. There was no written language so stories kept their history and culture alive. Only one official griot existed per village, and their sole job was to tell stories, which could include stories of gods and goddesses, wars, heroes, kings, and fictional tales. One such story still popular in Africa today is about Anansi the spider. The passage then discusses listening to modern griot storytellers and examining African proverbs and their meanings.

It is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, who achieved enlightenment and became known as the Buddha. The Buddha taught that life involves suffering, but one can achieve nirvana and escape the cycle of rebirth by following the Eightfold Path of right understanding, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.

Buddhism PowerPoint
Hinduism was established in India in 1500 BCE, featuring texts like the Vedas and a caste system. The Upanishads taught concepts like samsara, karma, and moksha. Siddhartha Gautama was born in 480 BCE and discovered suffering through encountering old age, disease, and death. He attained enlightenment and became the Buddha, spreading his teachings of the Four Noble Truths and Noble Eightfold Path through India and Asia. Buddhism is considered both a philosophy and religion by some definitions and focuses on meditation, wisdom, and compassion rather than faith or gods.
Buddhism
Buddhism originated from the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, in ancient India. The core beliefs of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths about suffering and its cessation, and the Eightfold Path to end suffering. Buddhists seek enlightenment and liberation from suffering by following the Eightfold Path of right understanding, thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. The ultimate goal is to achieve Nirvana, escaping the cycle of rebirth and suffering.
What Is Buddhism
Buddhism originated in India over 2,500 years ago and was founded by Siddhartha Gautama. The religion's core beliefs are the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, which provide guidance for followers to end suffering by eliminating desire and reaching a state of nirvana. Buddhism spread from India and now has over 376 million followers worldwide, with most Buddhists living in countries like Thailand, China, Japan, and Sri Lanka. Key concepts include reincarnation, karma, and rejection of the caste system and gods.
Sikhism
Sikhism began in the 15th century in the Punjab region of South Asia under the leadership of Guru Nanak. It was established as a monotheistic faith that rejected religious sectarianism and caste divisions and preached equality. Over subsequent centuries, Sikhism incorporated aspects of both Hindu and Islamic traditions but also challenged certain practices. Persecution by Mughal rulers led the 10th Guru to transform Sikhs into a militant brotherhood called the Khalsa in the late 17th century. This unified and strengthened the Sikh identity and community. By the early 19th century, the Sikhs had established an independent kingdom before it fell to British annexation in the 1850s. Sikh

Christianity in india: A Presentation
Christianity has a long history in India, dating back to 52AD when St. Thomas first brought Christianity to the southern state of Kerala. It remained small until the arrival of European missionaries in the 15th-16th centuries. While Christianity remains a minority religion in India making up only 2-4% of the population, the Christian community has made significant contributions to education, social justice, and interfaith dialogue. However, Christians have also faced increasing persecution in recent decades from Hindu nationalist groups accusing them of forced conversions. Overall Christianity has deep roots in India but continues to face challenges of intolerance.
Judaism & Christianity
Judaism and Christianity emerged from a shared tradition but diverged over time. Judaism's sacred texts like the Torah were compiled gradually but convey ideals of monotheism and a promised homeland. Christianity developed from Judaism, with Jesus challenging Jewish traditions and predicting God's coming kingdom. His followers saw him as the messiah and the religion grew rapidly under figures like Paul, though it faced persecution before Constantine legalized it in 313 CE. The church eventually split between Western and Eastern branches.

Question 2.How did Buddhism find its way to China Why do you t.docx
Question:
2.How did Buddhism find its way to China? Why do you think this outside belief was so readily accepted into Chinese society? How was Buddhism integrated into China?
Answer:
Hello Class,
I chose number two for this discussion post.
Buddhism originated in India and eventually spread across the eastern hemisphere. It was brought to china by merchants (or what some people would say monks). They brought their religion, lifestyle, and things to trade in China and Southeast Asia. It seemed like people took a liking to this new religion and appreciated what it is about. Most would say Buddhism is more relaxed and not so strict as Confucianism was. The warring state period was going on at the time Buddhism made it’s way to china and it brought a sense of togetherness and helped the Chinese get through those wars. During the wars the Silk Road Trade routes provided new avenues to spread Buddhism and the more it was shared the more people were able to change the beliefs to fit them. Buddhism seemed pretty straight forward and if you followed it the rest was customizable to you. I think it was so readily accepted because it was hard times and having something to believe in and having some hope is better than nothing, so I think people were ready to listen to just about anything. One of the Emperors in rule during the Han Dynasty was curious about the Buddha and sent people to go to India and learn about it, so it could be brought back to China. Emperor Ming Ti wanted to bring back the teachings and scripture from Buddhism and incorporate things into their society. The Chinese created a whole new version of Buddhism and that is why you can see mnay different statues of the Buddha with or without clothes smiling or not smiling.

Confucianism: The Influences and Change
Confucianism originated in China in the 6th-5th century BC and was founded by Confucius. It influenced Chinese society by promoting ethics, social responsibility, and ancestor worship. During the Song dynasty, Neo-Confucianism emerged, attempting to merge Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist ideas. The Song military was weak because Confucianism did not value the military, while the Mongol empire led by Kublai Khan was very powerful militarily. Under Mongol rule and after, Neo-Confucianism continued to be influential.

The Medieval Catholic Church
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Catholic Mass is the weekly ritual service in the Catholic Church where Communion is taken. It commemorates Jesus's death and sacrifice on the cross.
2. The building monks live in is called a monastery.
3. One example of power the Catholic Church had was that it could excommunicate people, essentially kicking them out of the Church and preventing them from receiving sacraments and going to heaven.
4. One of the Catholic reform movements was the Friars in the 1200s. Friars were wandering preachers that lived among common people to encourage reform and preach the gospel.
The Anglo-Saxons
The document summarizes the history of Britain from its conquest by the Romans in 55 BC until the Anglo-Saxon period from 449-1066 AD. It describes how the Romans introduced cities, roads, and Christianity before abandoning Britain in 449 AD, leaving it open to invasion by Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians. These tribes organized the area into several kingdoms and introduced their pagan culture before converting to Christianity in the late 6th-7th centuries. Monasteries played a key role in spreading Christianity and literacy. The Danes later invaded parts of eastern and northern England but were eventually defeated by King Alfred the Great in 878 AD.

It also mentions labeling a map of Japan on page 441 with the locations of the islands, surrounding water, Tokyo, and Mount Fuji.
Booklet information
Mansa Musa ruled Mali from 1312 to 1337, expanding its empire and controlling trade routes for gold and salt throughout Africa. In 1324, Mansa Musa embarked on a pilgrimage to Mecca with an enormous caravan carrying over 2 tons of gold. His spending in Cairo caused gold values to drop. Upon his return, he brought Arab scholars and architects to Timbuktu, establishing it as an Islamic learning center.
Sundiata united the Mandinka people after defeating the brutal Samanguru in battle in 1235. As the new King of Mali, Sundiata improved agriculture and introduced cotton.
Roman Empire study guide notes
The Roman Empire unit test study guide provides an overview of the history and development of the Roman Empire from its origins as a kingdom in Rome to its eventual decline and fall. It covers the establishment of the Roman Republic and leaders like Julius Caesar who expanded Roman territory through military conquests. It also discusses the transition to an empire under Augustus and the influence and spread of Christianity. The guide outlines some of the key reasons for the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the continued existence of the Eastern Byzantine Empire centered in Constantinople until its conquest in 1453.
Roman empire vocab.
This document provides instructions for a Roman Empire vocabulary assignment, asking students to choose 10 words to complete a crossword puzzle, draw a detailed picture explaining definitions, or write a paragraph using the words correctly about their contribution to the Roman Empire. It also allows choosing 7 words to complete another activity for a homework pass due the next day.
Roman Empire unit vocabulary
The document provides definitions for 37 important terms related to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. It describes key figures like Romulus and Remus, events like the Punic Wars that expanded Rome's territory, and accomplishments such as establishing Latin as the dominant language and developing civil law. The summary also mentions the eventual adoption of Christianity as the official religion and the reasons for Rome's decline, including invasions from outside groups and internal political issues.
Roman Legacies
This document discusses the many legacies and influences of ancient Rome that are still present in modern society. It notes that many common words in English come from Latin, the language of Rome, and that Latin shaped the development of several modern European languages. Architecturally, Roman innovations like vaults, columns, domes and arches can still be seen in buildings today. Rome also had a significant influence on modern government, law, sports, Christianity, and culture. The document aims to illustrate how deeply Rome impacted Western civilization and the many ways its contributions are still visible in our world today.
Rome from Republic to Empire
The document describes a scenario where a Roman senator is worried about generals in Rome gaining too much power and potentially becoming dictators. Some senators want to take violent action against the generals to prevent this, but it is unclear if using violence against them to save the Republic would be justified.
Roman Republic
- In 753 BC, Romulus founded the city of Rome, which would later expand into the massive Roman Republic.
- The Roman Republic began in 509 BC after the overthrow of the last Roman king. It established a system where elected representatives led the people rather than kings.
- Roman society was divided between the patricians, who were the wealthy landowning class, and the plebeians, who made up the common people.
Archaic Rome
The document provides information about the Roman Empire from several sources, including:
- A lesson on analyzing the legacy of the Roman Empire and its importance.
- Geography questions about Italy and the location of Rome that set the stage for the rise of the Roman Empire.
- Maps showing the extent of the Roman Empire and its extensive road network, implying the Romans had effective government, trade, religion, language, and culture due to their roads connecting the empire.
- A passage explaining how all roads literally led to Rome, as the Romans built roads from conquered territories and provinces straight to the capital city, with mile markers measuring distance from Rome.
- A timeline of important events in Roman history from
BC and AD timeline events
The document provides instructions for creating a timeline, including circling BC dates and putting them in descending order, ordering AD dates ascending from 0, choosing 10 dates to illustrate with events, and using the dates 2000 BC, 753 BC, and 2016 AD as examples. It then lists 44 historical dates between 3000 BC and 2050 with significant events for potential inclusion on the timeline.
Time Line lesson
BC and AD are common abbreviations used on timelines to denote periods before and after the estimated birth of Jesus Christ. BC stands for Before Christ and AD stands for Anno Domini, which translates to "In the year of our Lord". Some mistakenly think AD means After Death, but that would place the start at year 33 rather than year 1. Alternatively, timelines may use BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) to avoid religious references. The document instructs students to create a timeline using the provided materials and guidelines.
Map lesson
The document discusses the key features of maps that help people use them, including the map title, compass rose, legend/key, scale, and locator. It also lists different types of maps such as physical, political, historical, and land use maps. The document emphasizes the importance of geography and includes an activity for students to label lines of longitude and latitude on maps.
Declaration of Independence
The document provides instructions for a bell ringer activity where students are asked to:
1) Write a list of rights they have as United States citizens or residents
2) Have extra time to write a song, rap or poem about the rights they listed
The overall objective is for students to understand the rights granted in the Declaration of Independence and be able to write an essay explaining these rights using evidence from the text. Students are given 15 minutes to read the Declaration of Independence and create a rights chart before choosing an writing activity option that discusses the rights or their denial.
Types of government
The document is a lesson on different types of governments that will be taught to students. It includes definitions and examples of 8 types of governments: democracy, oligarchy, monarchy, communism, dictatorship, anarchy, republic, and totalitarianism. Students will be assigned to groups that focus on one type of government. They will take notes on all the types and work in their groups to create their own hypothetical government based on their assigned type.
House Rules lesson
The document assigns groups of students to present on different "House Rules" during class. Each group will have 10-15 minutes to create a lesson on their assigned rules, explaining what each rule is and why it is important. Their lesson should include a visual and a question for the class, and can take the form of a teaching lesson, skit, or song. The document then lists which rules each of 8 groups will present on.
First Day of School 16-17
This document provides information for students in Mrs. James's homeroom class. It outlines schedules, rules, and procedures for the class. The daily schedule includes periods for homeroom, classes, lunch, and announcements. Cell phone policies and dress code are reviewed. The class will use a house system with rewards for following rules. Thirty-five rules address behavior, manners, classroom conduct, and character. The document also previews activities like filling out schedules and a get-to-know-you scavenger hunt.
Respect lesson
This document provides lesson plans and activities for teaching students about the meaning of respect. It includes definitions of respect, questions to prompt discussion and reflection, and writing prompts for students to explain why they or others deserve respect and to brainstorm ways to show respect in the classroom. The learning target is for students to evaluate the true meaning of respect.
True Leadership lesson
This document discusses leadership and provides examples of leadership qualities and activities. It defines leadership as commanding a group and possessing additional qualities beyond just being the boss. Students are asked to list qualities of a good classroom leader, discuss statements about leadership, and perform skits demonstrating good and bad leadership. They are also prompted to describe how they will be good leaders of their group.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
