Teachers: Introduce your 5th to 9th graders to one of the most vibrant and developed cultural and historical legacies in the world with The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China: Primary Source Lessons for Teachers and Students. Both an illustrated teacher's guide and a textbook, this book and CD-ROM set combines thoughtful lessons with vivid, authentic materials that create opportunities for students to form their own understanding of Chinese culture and artifacts.

The CD-ROM packaged with the textbook holds more than 250 full-color images, texts, and even music. The lessons are organized in a modular way so teachers have the flexibility to select the order in which they teach an entire course. Schools who do not offer a course dedicated to Chinese culture may choose one or more chapters as China segments within their existing world studies course. Chapters cover geography, ancient history, belief systems, daily life, public works, and international relations. 

The first of two volumes, The Enduring Legacy of Ancient China will be followed by a companion on modern China. * Write to marketing@cheng-tsui.com to receive free sample lessons and a demonstration CD-ROM.
