Ancient China and China Lap Book Unit Study.

In our Unit Study on Ancient China we covered a few topics we had already done in our field trip.

In this Unit you will find:

Chinese Alphabet

Communism 

Mao Zedong

List of Communist Countries

Chinese Dynasties Timeline

Buddha

Confucius

Note that this is not a lesson plan for teachers it is just a lap book. 

You have to research about every topic there is to teach.

We had lots of fun with crafts and online activities.

We created a Wall of China paper model and made a few Chinese new Year crafts.

Fun super Fun!!!!

Here are some pics of the lap book I made for my son.

We covered Communism in China and Mao Zedong

Our Front Page. We print things in black and white but the Lap book is in color. 

Because of the massive amount of information you will teach. 

You will need to add two more extra cardboard pages upward and downward to fit it all.
