Day 14: Geography and Timeline of Medieval Japan (2/28/11)


Aim: The historians of 2016 will create an accurate timeline of medieval Japanese history in Google Draw using shapes, colors, and text.

Step 1: Put your new current event on your desk.

Step 2 Quick Question: Look at the population map of the United States. Why do most people live near the ocean? Please answer the question in the comment section of today’s post.

Step 3: Track Mr. Sanders as he goes over the history of Japan timeline using Prezi. If you want to view it later, you can see it here.

Step 4: Copy Mr. Sanders' timeline outline here and rename it 'History of Japan Timeline (First Name, Last Initial).

Step 5: Add four important events in Medieval Japanese history to the timeline. You must include an image for two of them. If you want to go above and beyond, you can create a Prezi account and create your timeline there.

Here are a list of sites you can use to find events that fit within the time period. Remember, the events must be relevant to Japanese medieval history and its development. Events not relevant to the development of medieval Japan do not count.

Only place events on your timeline if you can explain their significance during our timeline review.

Homework: Complete the reading on 20.3 (Government in Japan) and complete the corresponding workbook page.

    I think most people live near the ocean because people like the beach and coastal areas usually have more resources.

    Most people probably live by the ocean because the ocean has some advantages. The ocean provides water underground, so it helps plants grow with rich soil. Also, the coasts by the beach contain "reasonable" weather conditions, except on some occasions.

    I think they want a peaceful life next to the shore where they can hear the ocean! Maybe they like silence!

    I don't really know why people live near the ocean but I'm guessing that the reason they live near the ocean is because they have a great view of the ocean and the land near them. Also the ocean is where different types of fish is and they can get there food for free.

    I think that people want to live near the ocean because it can be tropical and warm and breezy for people that like those kind of places. It can also be very cold and snowy for people that like to be near snow and are used to very cold places would live there.

    These are the reasons why people may live near the coast:
    1)They could plant and water crops more easily.
    2)The weather is mild.
    3)Back then people could trade easier.
    Those are my reasons.

    One reason why most people live near the ocean is because towards the middle of the United States the region is dry and the weather is not very balanced.One the other hand near the coast it is usually balanced weather and most people feel comfortable living near the water,
