These 33 lesson plans were designed to accompany "Contemporary China: A Teaching Workbook," a collection of class activities, primary source selections, student readings, and role-play exercises. The lesson plans are based primarily on materials in the "Workbook," although materials from other sources also are recommended. Some of the 33 lessons are: "Chinese Inventions and 'Gifts to the West'"; "Revolutionary China: The Rise of the Communist Party"; and "Chinese Democratic Movement and the Tiananmen Massacre." Each lesson plan includes a listing of objectives, main ideas, recommended materials, suggested activities, and in some cases, supplementary activities. The approximate amount of time needed for the lesson and a list of related lessons also are noted. (DB)
