1.  Take out your Map of China that we made in class. Find the Himalayan Mountains. To the right of the Himalayas is a part of China called the Yunnan Province.  In Yunnan is a raging river and a town called Nu Jiang where some of the most isolated people in the world live, hemmed in by the continuous mountains that form the Burmese - Chinese border.  Watch this video of the people of Nu Jiang going from their homes to market.  


What do you see them carry across the river?  

Would you cross this river?

2.  Ask someone at home to help you finish reading Chapter 5 (pages 91-101) of House of Sixty Fathers.  We will begin chapter 6 in class this week.
