This instructor’s manual assumes that the instructor possesses little or no knowledge of the subject. We hope this manual will help instructors use A History of Asia to its full potential by allowing them to shape its use around a course (e.g., South Asia one semester/year, East Asia the next, or all of ancient Asia and then the modern era) as needed. Each chapter of this instructor’s manual is divided into four sections: 1. Outline of Main Ideas. This section identifies primary ideas, figures, and events contained in the respective A History of Asia chapter. After a chapter has been read, the chapter outlines can provide a review of key points. 2. Questions for Class Discussion. These questions, not included in the main text, are intended to provide instructors with supplemental information about certain topics for discussion and/or stimulate student interest in further research. 3. Essay Questions. These questions, also not included in the main text, may be used in class discussion and/or exam format. Basic answers can be gleaned from the text but may be supplemented by additional research (as the result of a homework assignment) or in the course of discussion between students. 4. Multiple Choice Questions. The multiple choice questions have been designed for use in testing or for reading quizzes. They emphasize basic factual recognition and analysis.

The majority of Asians work in agriculture, and for them the rains mean survival. QUESTIONS FOR CLASS DISCUSSION 1.
