The Made in China Teacher's
Guide links together multiple resources for teaching Chinese art, history
and culture:
- The six-part Made in
China series, produced by Twin Cities Public Television
- The extensive collection
of Chinese Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts
- Primary source material
related to unit themes, such as poems or newspaper articles.
The guide was written primarily for grades 7-12, but teachers are encouraged
to adapt lesson materials for their own classroom.
