What's in the Trunk?: China Template (posted in Classroom)
Ancient China had a strict social hierarchy with the emperor and his family at the top, followed by government officials and nobles who were wealthy landowners and scholars. The peasant class was made up of farmers, artisans, and craftspeople as well as merchants and traders. At the very bottom of the social hierarchy were enslaved people who were usually laborers, builders or servants and had no rights beyond what their enslavers granted them.
You and your group will present your trunk to the class. After your group presents their artifacts, the class will try to guess who owned the trunk (which social class they belonged to).
Overview
You and your group will be assigned a person from ancient China. Based on what you know about that person, and some research, you will curate a trunk with important artifacts that would have belonged to that person.
