Today in class we went over the notes from chapter 20 about the Shang dynasty. Whoever was absent today needs to make sure they have all of the notes completed on their own.
Homework:
Students will complete the ‘Processing’ part from their reading notes. It is on page 6, under section 9:
Using a sheet of loose leaf paper, students will ‘create’ a museum exhibition about the Shang Dynasty. They need to choose one characteristic of a civilization (art, technology, religion, writing, etc…) and choose 3 artifacts that belong to that characteristic. They will label them and explain how the artifacts relate to the characteristic. It should be colorful and look presentable. Follow the directions on the processing!! Look online for ideas of how museum exhibits look. Again, ONLY USE LOOSE LEAF PAPER! No 3-D models or large chart paper.
Here are some of the artifacts we looked at in class to help students with their drawings. They could also use ideas from the book as well:
Homework is due on Wednesday!!
CHAPTER 20 ASSESSMENT WILL BE ON THURSDAY
Tomorrow I will give a study guide. They will also need to identify features on a map of China, like the Huang He, Plateau of Tibet, Gobi desert, etc. I will pass back their homework of the map of China tomorrow (if they did it).
Thank you
