Wednesday - World History
For class today, Jones had sent a notice for her students to meet her in the art class room and to wear old clothes. When the students arrived they would note that the room was set up with various screens, bowls and blenders for today's project. For once, Jones was not in her typical suit but instead in what was obviously an old shirt and jeans.
Clearly she was prepared for something messy.
"Last semester we covered topics on the contributions of the so-called Western culture. Today I would like to cover some of the contributions made from Asia," Jones began. "There has been some debate where similar developments occurred in the west but without Asian culture the world would have been very different. The standardized alphabet was a cornerstone of Asian contributions to the world, as well as the development of paper and block printing. The very first boat and water-going vessels were attributed to Asia as well as the invention of the compass. Gunpowder, Eastern philosophy and the crossbow were also significant contributions."
Jones then began to hand out instructions for today's exercise. "Today we will experiment with one of these contributions by making our own paper. If you wish you may use the more simpler method of creating pulp with the use of tissue paper or create the more primitive form using old cloth, seeds and plant fibers. The paper is yours to keep if you so wish. Please begin."
