Sample Lesson Plans for Ancient China (Grades 4-6)
If you work as a teacher, you are aware of how crucial lesson planning is to your role. But constantly coming up with fresh lesson plans can be challenging! As part of our goal to save teachers time, we’ve made up sample lesson plans for all the resources in our Ancient China unit.
Viking Ship Dragonhead Rubbing Activity
To create a rubbing of your Viking ship design, use the template in our resource or draw your design directly onto a piece of paper. Once you have your design, use glue to trace over the lines and let it dry. This activity requires patience, but once the glue is dry, you can make as many rubbings as you'd like. Charcoal and crayons work well for this activity, but feel free to experiment with other art supplies such as pastels. Happy crafting!
Making Papyrus
Papyrus is not only the name of the plant, but also the paper that is made from the plant. Papyrus was used to make paper as early as 3,000 BC and was used for thousands of years.
