An idea to help sixth graders use critical thinking while studying the achievements of Qin the first emperor of China is to have them create a "commenorative plaque" or a "wanted poster" once they have researched Qin. They need to decide whether he was an effective ruler or an ineffective ruler and whether they should decide to immortalize him with a plaque or put out a warrant for his arrest using a wanted poster.

I downloaded examples of plaques from the internet to give kids ideas and most of them knew what a wanted poster looks like. As part of either poster, they were required to illustrate at least 3 things that Qin did to support their conclusion.

The posters turned out so great I laminated them for posterity.

Attached are a few examples.
