Practice Instructions Project
The Practice Instructions Project ask you to analyze one of the assigned historical records of Asian practice, paying attention the interaction of the three elements of culture. You then draw on what you learned to write and/or draw a set of instructions that could be used to facilitate the similar contemporary practice described in the relevant scenario.
Step 1: Complete the Contemporary Practice Research
Complete the Practice Research Form (MS Word/PDF), making sure to allow enough time to do a site visit or a daily practice of your own, which must correspond to the historical record analyzed in Step 2.
CAUTION: Check that the letter used to label your chosen contemporary activity (A, B or C) in one of the unit scenarios matches the letter of your chosen Asian practice in the schedule reading guide. ***If the letters do not match, the practices do not correspond*** and you will need to adjust your choice accordingly. Also, make sure that the corresponding practices you choose are dealt with in the unit just completed (India
for Unit 1, China for Unit 2).
