Week of May 1-5
KNOWLEDGE MAPPING 1.
The Silk Road.
This week, we will be collaboratively reading the book Siddhartha by Herman Hesse in class. We will be finishing our novel about the Silk Road, Between the Dragon & The Eagle by the end of the week. Mirroring the many Silk Road maps throughout the book, we will begin to brainstorm ways in which to create our own Knowledge Map. This would plot the objects that we encounter each week — not just on the Silk Road, but also in Siddhartha and other important Buddhist and Hindu sites.
