Another idea for China is to give student groups, either in twos or fours, information about the various inventions made in China, such as the compass, gunpowder, paper, porcelain, printing, etc. They must learn who invented it (if possible), when, where, how, and why, and what materials were used. Since none of these were known in the West, the students must then create a commercial, either as a live presentation, or a video, to introduce and sell this new invention to the West. Students watching the commercials must take notes on these same characteristics, and in this way they learn about all these inventions. I have found its best to have two or three different groups do each of these inventions so all the facts are covered.
