WEBSITES FOR RESEARCH

1. (EASIEST) Mr. Donn's [|Ancient China for kids]. The information here is for younger students, HOWEVER if you find yourself lost and needing a general refresher about some of the information/ dynasties/ philosophies, etc. it can a good general resource. It will NOT tell you all you need to know for this Unit, but it can be useful start.

2. [|Click here] for Minnesota State University website on China. It has information on every dynasty, along with a timeline and map of each dynasty's area of influence.

3. [|Click here] for Asia for Educators which is, in my mind, the BEST and most interesting site. It is big, but very well organized. Go to their Homepage and click on a time period your interested in knowing more about.

[|Click here] for INFORMATION AND THEMES from the Asia for Educators website. This has the best section on both information and, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the IDEAS that form the basis for this unit.
