• I can evaluate the physical geography of China and explain the affects it had on the early Chinese Dynasties.
• SPI - Create a visual or multimedia display to identify the physical location or major geographical features of China including the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Himalayas, Plateau of Tibet, and the Gobi desert.
• In your PODS, discuss everything you know about the following early Chinese dynasties:
• Tang• Song• Sui• Do you think their physical environment and
location affected their daily life? If so, how?
• Yangtze River• Yellow River• Himalayas • Plateau of Tibet• Gobi Desert
• Each group will be assigned a specific physical feature of China to discover and research.
• Step 1: You will read the material given to you on your feature.
• Step 2: Highlight important evidence you have discovered that your peers should know! As you read, brainstorm and think about how these features affected the early dynasties of China.
• Design a poster that displays your physical feature (I will model this for you)
• Step 1: Create a map display of China and your physical feature
• Step 2: Pull the most significant evidence that you highlighted and write these bullet points under your map.
• Step 3: Create a strong statement from what you concluded earlier on HOW the geography affected the early Chinese dynasties.
•We will share our findings with one another!
• 1. Identify 4 physical features of China• 2. How have the physical
features of China most likely influenced the early Chinese dynasties.
