March 22 and 23
Thursday: We studied the Samurai code of Bushido. Students watched a short segment of a PBS documentary and answered questions. Students then read a supplement about samurai warriors and answered questions from that.
Friday: We watched the animated maps and myths that were turned in on time and watched about a half hour of the film The Last Samurai. Students listed 10 examples of samurai culture shown in the film and were assigned a paragraph of written homework.
