Qin Shi Hunag was the first Chinese emperor of a unified China, and while not always popular, he was perhaps one of the greatest as he started the Qin Dynasty back in 221 BCE.

You will be assigned one of the 4 dynasties of ancient China: Shang, Zhou, Qin or Han and tasked with creating a PPT on your assigned dynasty. You will need to research and answer the ?s for your dynasty from the reading on your dynasty's slide template. 

You will rotate around the table/room in 15 minute intervals, viewing the presentations from your classmates on their dynasties. While viewing the presentations, you will fill out the Ancient China Dynasties Report Card booklet. Here you will have to answer questions about each dynasty, as well as grade them on categories such as government, achievements, religion, etc. You are also responsible for completing the report card for your own dynasty.
