Nov. 21 – Nov. 27
Unless otherwise noted, all assignments and tasks are due by 11:59PM. I strongly suggest you keep a healthy life-work balance and make sure to get enough sleep. Check the “best-before dates” policy in the syllabus.
| Monday |
- □ Look ahead at the readings and tasks for this week, and plan in when you will do them. This is a good week to catch up if you’re behind on some assignments, but time will fly this week (unlike many a turkey 😥) unless you have a solid plan going into this week.
- – Planning prevents last minute panic, and means you can make the most of our time together in class

| Tuesday |
- □ Feedback on your fellow students’ posts:
- – Read through and use Hypothes.is (Group HST269) to comment on your fellow students’ posts: everybody likes some encouragement! Here is a random selection of three posts. If two or more posts are the same, or one is your own, just refresh the page for a different set. It’s all random, it’s all good!

| Wednesday |
- □ No class! Thanksgiving Break!
|
| Thursday |
- □ Eat that Turkey/Tofurkey!
- □ Optional movie! If you miss our class this week and want some traditional China, you can’t go wrong with this: lots of practices and beliefs in popular religion find their origin in late imperial Chinese traditions, and transform earlier religious beliefs. This animated movie captures a lot of those, so you can get your weekly fix of Chinese history without too much trouble:

- Little Doorgods. Directed by Gary Wang, Light Chaser Animation Studios. Alibaba Pictures, 2016.

| Friday |
- □ Digest that Thanksgiving meal!
|
| Saturday |
- □ Rest day – more digesting?
|
| Sunday |
- □ If you’re catching up on missed work: Get your Weekly Report (aka “5-15”) in tonight as a blog post in category HST269. Thanks! (If you’re not catching up: congrats, no need to share unless you want to tell us all about your break.)
- Yes, we’re back in the swing of things today!
