MING DYNASTY SKITS

In groups, one member will be designated to be the emperor and the remainder of the group will be divided into two factions during the Ming Dynasty – one representing court officials who favor continued trade with the outside world and the other representing court officials who wish to end that trade.

Each faction should present arguments in support of its position to the emperor. After hearing the arguments, the emperor must decide on a course of action regarding international trade and report his or her decision to the class. Use pages 111-113 for additional background info
