Beginner Level
In this 4 week course, students will learn about the rich history of Ancient China. Each week students will learn about a new topic to help them stay focused and maximize their learning during the 50-minute class session. Students will be provided with assignments outside of class to help reinforce what they learned in class. We will follow the schedule below. Week 1: Geography of China Week 2: Chinese Philosophies Week 3: Qin Dynasty to the Fall of the Han Dynasty Week 4: Ancient China Review Game This course is designed to be mostly a PowerPoint presentation with some videos that are relevant to the topic. Students will review what they learned in the previous lesson, then transition to the new content, and the class will end with a comprehension check to ensure students understand the new material. All students will need to have a functional camera and microphone as class discussions are an essential component of the course. Students will be provided with a guided note worksheet in a pdf format to meet each student’s needs. During the final class, students will review what they have learned by completing an interactive Kahoot game. Students do not need any prior knowledge about China to get the most out of this class!
