Hey everyone! I wish everyone a great weekend and a Happy Columbus Day! Yesterday we discussed the significance of the Ming Dynasty and Zheng He's expeditions. We also discussed the possibility of the Chinese arriving in the Americas before the expeditions of Christopher Columbus.
For homework, you are to read the news article of the Singapore exhibit feauturing treasures from Zheng He's expeditions. Once you read it, please write a paragraph arguing whether Americans should celebrate Columbus Day. Use evidence to bolster your argument. If you believe we should celebrate the holiday, please write your paragraph disproving the evidence given in the article. If you do not believe we should celebrate the holiday, use evidence from the article to prove your point. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Have a great weekend!
~Mr. Mazur
