Feb. 2nd - Feb. 6th

This week in World History students will conclude their study of China. Monday students worked on their illustrated time-lines which are due tomorrow. The time-line should be colored and should consist of two time-lines - one for the dynasties of China starting from 206 B.C. to 1644 C.E. and one for important events that occurred around the world during the same time period as the dynasties. The dynasties of China from 206 B.C. are:

The Han Dynasty 206 B.C. to 220 C.E
Six Dynasties 220 - 581 C.E.
Sui Dynasty 589 - 618 C.E.

Five Dynasties/Ten Kingdoms 907 - 960 C.E.
Song Dynasty 960 - 1279 C.E.
Yuan Dynasty (Mongols) 1279 - 1368 C.E.
