The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China
Primary Source Lessons for Teachers and Students
Both an illustrated teacher's guide and a textbook, The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China: Primary Source Lessons for Teachers and Students offers teachers and students a treasure trove of resources. Authored by the curriculum specialists at Primary Source, Inc., the book and CD-ROM combine thoughtful lessons with vivid, authentic materials that create opportunities for students to form their own understanding of Chinese culture and artifacts.
The lessons in The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China are organized in a modular way so teachers have the flexibility to select the order in which they teach an entire course. Schools without a course dedicated to Chinese culture may choose one or more chapters as China segments within their existing world studies course. The first of two volumes, The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China will be followed in summer 2008 by a companion on modern China, China in the World.
A lab version (for teachers who wish to use the CD-ROM resources in the classroom) is now available.
Reviews
"What an amazing accomplishment The Enduring Legacy is! I had intended just to scan it, but as I started reading, it was so interesting that I read it from cover to cover, along with most of the CD-ROM info. I think teachers would be thrilled to use it. It's really user-friendly and puts so much information right at the teacher's fingertips - along with loads of references to resources that they don't have to dig up themselves. There are some wonderfully engaging activities that I think kids would really get into. Kudos to everyone who was involved in planning/writing it!"—Karen DeRusha, retired teacher, Newton Public Schools
"The primary sources provided on the Enduring Legacy of Ancient China CD save valuable teacher time and support student proclivity for interaction with technology for research."—Elsie Wu, Andover Public Schools, Andover, MA
