This Three-day workshop will give you the opportunity to develop a unit of study on any culture you desire.  The framework for the course will be based on the study of Ancient China, which is an optional fourth grade standard.  The workshop time will be split between a sharing of materials used in the presenters 4th grade class and constructing your own materials. The presenter’s materials include time lines, graphic organizers, hands-on activities and instruction on how to construct a midden for a simulated “dig” so students can work as archaeologists.  During the remainder of the time, participants will be divided into groups and will create materials for the cultures that they use in their curriculum.  Participants should plan to bring books and other items relating to the culture they are planning to focus on.  Participants will receive copies of all activities developed (if in electronic format) in class.

Session 1: The focus of this day will be on the study of the Chinese Culture and the unit used by the presenter with her students;

Session 2: The second day will focus on Mathematics and on the Chinese Dynasties.

Session 3: On this day, participants will review the various religions in the Chinese culture. Time will also be spent on sharing projects.
