Today we caught a little glimpse of the Feudal period and the life of Samurai by watching the trailer from a famous movie, Yojimba (1961).  We noted that Japanese Samurai are depicted heroically in Japanese culture much like the cowboys of the West in the United States.

The groups from Friday finished up their summaries and posted to the blog.  There is still one group that needs to do this.  You were then asked to read the summaries and leave comments with your names attached.  There were many comments without names and these will be deleted.  Make sure you get credit for your effort and use your name!  Many of you have not had a chance to comment yet, so make sure that you do next class.

We got to enjoy some brief summary presentations and we will finish watching them at the end of next class.  Thank you to those who worked collaboratively to get their group work done.
