China From Above

We'll now be starting the new unit of material on China. China will have some similarities of themes that you might have noticed when we studied India. It can be said that both: are ancient civilizations that are in the process of modernization, many diverse people inhabit the land, the environment greatly varies from one region to another, and both will play a major role in the this new century.

The following is a link from National Geographic that provides a photoessay of different regions in China. POST about: 1. About how you imagined China compared to what you see 2. How do people's relationship with the environment change from one section of China to another.
