China's Got Talent - Which Chinese Dynasty Was The Greatest? Salesman Project

This fun and competitive project revolves around the premise that the Chinese government has created a contest to see which dynasty was the greatest in their history. It's the students' job to "sell" the advancements and achievements of their assigned dynasty and topic.

The class will be split into several groups representing the Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Each group will be broken down into three categories covering various aspects of the dynasty. In pairs, students research these topics and create a Google Slide show. Students also have the opportunity to obtain "dirt" (finding information which may be unappealing) about the other dynasties. On the day of presentations, students will then pitch the greatness of their dynasty to the class and also make arguments why the other dynasties were inferior to them. Directions specify that students should treat this like a sales pitch or infomercial. After presentations, students are given a written assessment.

This could take 1-2 weeks depending on how much time you give your students to prepare and do research. Students can use their textbook and electronic sources for research.

Included in your purchase are Student Handout/Directions, Student Note-Taking page, Vocabulary List for student reference, concluding Writing Assessment which is in the form of an "Museum Curator Application", Written Assessment Rubric, Peer Review Sheet, and Script Template.
