What a fun activity to learn about the leadership, economy, and social classes in Medieval China during the Tang and Song Chinese Dynasties. My students love this activity. First, students read a two-page close reading about life and changes in government during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The reading includes a primary source excerpt and visual for students to analyze. Then, students get into groups and compete against each other in a displayed class game board in Google Slides or PowerPoint. Each advancing slide has one of ten comprehension questions about the social class informational text.
In a fun, creative close, students who answer the most answers correctly in class get to choose a number that reveals their hidden destiny as a person alive in that era. The students get to read aloud who they were and details about their lives!
Includes:
✅ A two-page social class focused close reading
✅ A 10 comprehension question Google Slides game-board to display
✅ A PowerPoint option game-board to display
✅ An answer key
✅ A choose your destiny slide with fun social class destinies for winning students to discover what their lives were like as a people alive during the era!
