6th grade Social Studies Week of March 23 - 27

Hi students,

This week in Social Studies we will begin covering Chinese Dynasties circa 600 - 1800 AD in your textbooks pages 200 - 205.  You should read those pages and write down in your notebooks the following vocabulary words, people, and place : porcelain, abacus; Wu Hou, Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan; and the Forbidden City.

Also, go to ducksters.com click on Ancient China and read about these dynasties:

  •                       Tang Dynasty
  •                       Yuan Dynasty
  •                       Song Dynasty
  •                       Ming Dynasty
Read about each dynasty and take the 10 question quiz and screen shoot the score and send it to me.
Then go to the headings Culture or People and choose an additional section to read.  Take one (1) quiz and screen shoot it and send the score to me.  

Be sure to include a fact, an achievement  or interesting idea for each Dynasty and the additional reading from Culture or People headings.  Write it in your notebook.

This week’s activity is to look for examples of artwork done during the Ming Dynasty (also found on page 203 in your book).  Use your IPad to also access information.  Create your own drawing, painting or pastel that represents Ming art.

This work is to be completed by March 27, 2020.

If you have questions, email me.

Enjoy learning about these Dynasties.  

Ms. O
