Ancient India and one announcement

Hello, Class,

These are a few terms you may want to know from the chapter on Ancient India for the mid-term exam:

1. Mohenjo-Dharo and Harappa
2. Caste System
3. Aryans
4. Ashoka the Great
5. Hinduism
6. Buddhism
7. The Four Noble Truths
8. Shiva and Vishnu
9. Therevada and Mahayana
10. Veda

Also, a few questions you may want to think about:

1. How were the governments of Ancient India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt different from that of Ancient China in terms of the role of religion?

2. How do Buddhism and Hinduism differ in their approach to the Caste System?

3. What lasting impact did Ashoka the Great have on India and the rest of Asia?

4. In what ways did the Aryan invasion change the society and culture in the Ancient Indus River Valley?

Also, one announcement:

This week, we will begin sign-up for the topics for group projects we will do after the midterm exam. I will announce this in class tomorrow (Monday,) and will bring in a sign-up sheet on Wednesday. So start thinking about this, and perhaps begin doing some research. Good luck!
