I have had sixth grade students create inventions and their own school of thought as a final project for a unit on Ancient China with great success.
Schools of thought have included "Playerism" and "Divaism."
In lesson SWBAT analyze Ancient China’s contributions to civilization using text and supplemental resources to understand the importance of innovation as a major contributor to a civilization’s legacy.
They will be responsible for creating their own invention and persuading the class to believe it will have longevity and will continue China’s legacy of innovation.
This lesson can be used to compliment a unit on China. It can be used in unison with exploration of China’s schools of thought.
Students should be able to use the Internet and be able to determine importance of information to accomplish a specific goal. Students should already be familiar with China’s geography and its effects on its ancient civilization
