Instructional Ideas

• To support more visual learners, consider assigning students to write down the descriptions and features of each dynasty on a larger map or timeline, complemented by a wide variety of images

Classroom Considerations

• Rather than directly provide these handouts to students, consider these as answer keys for an assignment in which learners must research the dynasties and compile this information on their own

Pros

• Can download and edit document
• Includes great assessment activity in which pupils offer a grade for each dynasty's major components (i.e. unity, technology, art/architecture, and overall)

Cons

• None
