Hostage Scrolls must contain answers to the following curriculum questions:

- How did isolation during the Edo period lead to changes in Japan?
- How did the changes resulting from isolation affect Japan economically, politically and socially during the Edo period?
- How did the physical geography of Japan affect its worldview?
- How did the shogun use the feudal system and the hierarchical social classes to maintain control of Japan?
Students are encouraged to use creativity in their Scrolls with paper or digital visuals.
Research beyond the textbook is expected, with correctly cited footnotes & bibilography.
Drafts will be reviewed prior to presenting scrolls in class.
