Asian History: Ancient Chinese Terracotta Warriors Camp W/ Historical Readings
Class experience
Did you know that there are thousands of unique terracotta statues in Xi'an, China, each portraying a soldier in uniform? During this camp, I will provide sketches of the actual faces of some of the Terracotta Warriors, and the students will learn about these statues and their significance as art and artifacts, in addition to discussing the military ranks of that time ( 221-206 BCE). This is an interdisciplinary camp with history, English language arts, and visual art components. We will...
American Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.3 Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.4 Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area. Ontario Curriculum: A1.1 compare social organization (e.g., social classes, general political structure, inherited privilege, the status of women) in . . . early societies A3.2 demonstrate the ability to extract information on daily life in a few early societies, . . . from visual evidence (e.g., art works such as paintings, sculptures, carvings, masks, mosaics, hide paintings, beadwork, quillwork, soapstone carvings; clothing; ceremonial dress; regalia; petroglyphs; monuments; rock/earth mounds; artefacts such as tools, household utensils, pottery, religious articles, weapons) A3.3 describe significant aspects of daily life in . . . early societies A3.6 identify and describe some of the major scientific and technological developments in the ancient and medieval world A3.9 describe some key reasons why different groups in a few early societies, . . . cooperated or came into conflict at different times (e.g., to explore; to expand territory; to make decisions, govern, and administer; to promote trade; to wage war or make peace; to acquire wealth, power, and control; to rebel; to spread religious beliefs and/or enforce the power of particular religious institutions; to protect spiritual beliefs, ceremonies and other cultural practices, and traditional lands)
Each learner will need art supplies like pencils, crayons, markers, scissors, glue, tape, etc. It will also be easier if the illustrations can be printed out prior to each class, although students may colour/edit them using a computer program or redraw them on paper. I will supply the readings and illustrations from my book (a $20 value).
This class will include an age-appropriate discussion of war and death. Most of the illustrations are of soldiers' faces, but there are a few illustrations of fighting, including two with a wounded or dying soldier (not gory).
