In the Classroom
Teachers should plan on spending ample time previewing the site before using it in class. Initially view the video as a class and have a discussion. You might want to use a backchannel tool like GoSoapBox, reviewed here, for the discussion. The advantage of a backchannel chat is that every student has a voice, no matter how shy. Have small groups choose which of the extension activities they would like to investigate. Allow students to create a final project other than an essay to share their findings and present to the class. Suggest something like an online poster using Genial.ly, reviewed here, or a simple infographic using Snappa, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Visions of China - CNN
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Save this as a favorite and use it as a learning center or station during a unit on modern china. This activity works best if students have a graphic organizer to guide them through all of the information. If in need of help with the guide, we recommend using Graphic Organizer Maker, (reviewed here). This would be a great resource for a World History or US government class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Chinese Garden Markets
Grades
4 to 12tag(s): china (62)
In the Classroom
Use the images from this site to contribute to a class visual discovery based on the economic situation of China. Most of the images are representative of the free markets thriving in major cities, making it easy to compare and contrast with what students have seen in the US. Select 3-5 of the more stimulating images, placing them in a powerpoint presentation. Show students the slides via interactive whiteboard/projector, with students writing down what they can observe & infer about each image. After the display is complete, have a class discussion based on student findings. This would be a great review activity, allowing students to apply classroom knowledge on what they're viewing.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The BBC's Special Report - BBC
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): china (62)
In the Classroom
Although too outdated to be a current event's piece, this site could be used to study the ever-evolving nature of the Chinese government. Compare the reports on economic and social freedoms to those found elsewhere detailing those same rights today. Over the interactive whiteboard,use an online tool such as the 2 and 3 Circle Interactive Venn Diagrams, reviewed here, to compare and contrast the two environments. This would be a great resource for a government or international politics class.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
