Hi all!
I wanted to share some materials that I used recently on a lesson introducing the Tang and Ming Dynasties in China and then a primary source analysis. I completed this lesson in one 50 minute period with 9th graders of mixed abilities.
We completed the document analysis together up until the combining of answers to write a sentence and the conclusion question. Overall, this felt like the most successful lesson I've done using this primary source.
5.3 Tang and Ming China: Communities, Networks, and Production (based on the OER article from Origins: 5.3)
5.3 “An Imperial Edict Restraining Officials from Evil by The Hongwu Emperor” (c. 1385)
