In trying to keep all the Chinese dynasties straight in my head, I came across a great website published by Minnesota State University.
It has a great visual of a Timeline of Chinese Dynasties that makes it very easy to see who came first etc. I plan to display it on the overhead whenever I am speaking of a particular dynasty or time in Chinese history.
It has an added value in that you can click on each of the dynasty names and be taken to another webpage detailing important facts about the particular dynasty. There are relevant maps, pictures of artifacts and brief summaries of the important events for each dynasty. This would be a good website to include in a class Webquest assignment. A bibliography is included.
