We started off class with our first quiz on Taoism - we were asked to define Dao (The right path, the natural way of life), Tao Te Ching (a book on the Way and its power, written by Laozi the founder of Taoism), and Yang (the male part of the Dao which arises in warm, dry, bright places, partners with Yin). We went on to connect the three, writing about how in the Tao Te Ching we are given guidelines with which to follow and grow closer to the Dao; doing so includes letting our lives be influenced by certain elements like Yang.

After the quiz we spent the rest of class in the library, learning how to use information databases such as Galenet to research for our projects.
