Unit IV: FORMING PHILOSOPHIES FOR POLITICS- ANCIENT CHINA
Pivoting north from India to explore ancient Chinese dynasties, students will trace the development of civilization in China, focusing on how geographic conditions led to high population density. Students will continue their exploration into the concept of civilization by answering the inquiry arc question – How should a government treat its people? Through this inquiry arc, students will explore how the Huang He River’s flood zone led to an advanced agricultural economy and how the abundance of natural resources and geographic barriers allowed China to operate in relative isolation for thousands of years. Students will understand the teachings of Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism and articulate which philosophy they think is the most effective. Finally, students will research the Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han dynasties in order to identify how the Han Dynasty opened Chinese Civil Service positions to all male members of its society if they could pass an exam on Confucian systems of government. Students will collect evidence throughout the unit to construct and defend a claim.
