$5 - $10 8th Grade World History Games (by price, low to high)

What a fun way to study people throughout history. My students LOVE playing this game. They couldn't wait to play it. It encourages students to use their critical thinking skills while enjoying the learning process. This is very versatile and can be used over and over.

Tired of the same old basil workbook handouts? Whether you are studying historical people or current events, this will increase student learning and improve comprehension.

This is a great way to get your students involved in their own learning, giving them autonomy, and it is an activity that can be used across the curriculum. Students will have a great time analyzing characters, acting them out, and gaining points for identifying fact or fiction. This is not only great for social studies and geography, but for any lesson in which people or characters are being studied.

Students need to understand the evolving roles of women in Asia, as this knowledge provides a deeper insight into the region's history, culture, and society. By learning about the progress and challenges faced by women in countries such as** Japan, China, India, and South Korea,** students can better appreciate the complexities of gender dynamics in these** diverse societies**.

Furthermore, understanding the** changing roles of women** can help students develop empathy, critical thinking skills, and a more nuanced perspective on global issues like gender equality and human rights. Ultimately, this knowledge can empower students to advocate for positive change and promote greater inclusivity and equality in their own communities. So, the next time you open a textbook or watch a documentary about Asia, pay close attention to how women are portrayed. It’s not just about empowerment; it’s about understanding the intricate tapestry of humanity!

OBJECTIVE:

• The learner will study and examine the ancient roles of women in Asia.
• The learner will study and examine themodern-day roles of women in Asia.
• The learner will translate the poem Fu Xuan Women.
• The learner will write a letter to a woman in Asia exploring and expressing his/her feelings regarding the roles and status of women within the country.
• The learner will predict the future roles of women in Asia.

WHAT'S INCLUDE?

• Fu Xuan Woman Poem by Arthur Waley.
• Questions for thought on Fu Xuan Women
• Copies of the poem Fu Suan Women
• Wrap-up reproducible
• Teacher’s Guiding Questions

Articles:

• Role of Women in China
• Role of Women in India
• Role of Women in Vietnam
• Role of Women in North & South Korea
• Role of Women in Japan

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• Bell
• Sticky Notes
• Instructions to the Matchmaker game
• Wrap-up Activity reproducible
• Notecards for two-minute assignment

PREPARATION:

• Laminate four copies each of the reading materials on China, India, North/South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. This may seem like a great deal of work, but it will save you preparation time in the coming years. The room will have been set up in ten centers, placing an article for each center. Since there are only five countries, you will have two centers per country.
• Place a stack of note cards at each table.
• One lunch bag per table.
• Bell to ring to signal to move to the next center
• Place sticky notes at each table.
• Make copies of the Wrap-Up Activity sheets for each country

INTRODUCTION:

Find out what each group knows about women in Asia before you begin this lesson. Divide them into teams of four and present the topic. Give each team a stack of sticky notes. Ask them to brainstorm and list as many ideas or questions as they can come up within five minutes.

Here’s the kicker—(More with purchase)

WARM-UP (GROUP READING ACTIVITY)

The room has been set up into 10 centers: 2 centers for each country being studied. The goal is for each student to visit all five countries, but not to visit all ten centers since some are duplicates. The centers will be timed giving students 10 minutes to complete the reading and

2-minute assignment.

Explain to students that they will be visiting six different countries: Japan, North Korea, South Korea, China, Vietnam, and India to learn the roles of women (and men) in each country and how they have improved. (Note: North and South Korea have been combined into one learning center.)

They will be given 8 minutes to read their activity and 2 minutes to complete the center activity. Once eight minutes have passed, the instructor will notify the class by ringing a bell or using another sound. The remaining two minutes will be used to complete the 2-minute activity (see below).

THE 2-MINUTE ASSIGNMENTS:

(Included with purchase)

Once the warm-up reading center’s activity is complete, the instructor will pick up the bags and will dump them all into one bag and shake them up.

MATCH MAKER GAME:

Explain to students, matchmaking is a process of making a match of an unmarried man and woman by a matchmaker, which is a common way of choosing a spouse in ancient China and other Asian cultures. The traditional Chinese wedding is much involved with "matchmaker", or in other words, marriage introducer. In Zhou Dynasty several thousand years ago, the post of "official matchmaker" was set up for management of marriage, supervising and urging young people old enough to marry or widows and widowers to marry. Later, the meaning of "matchmaker" extended to all persons or events that act as a go-between of marriage between two families.

Today matchmaking is still seen as the proper way to marry by the older generation. You will find that parents will trade a person’s resume and will compare it to their child’s to determine if it is a good match. However, there has been given more freedom, from one generation to another, of individual choice to choose a partner.

Tell students they are going to play a game called “Matchmaker”.

(Game included with purchase)

ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY INCLUDED

Examine the Fu Xuan Woman Poem by Arthur Waley in how it relates to the role of women in Asia. Have students work in groups of two to read and examine the poem Fu Xuan Woman. Provide each student with a Question for Thought Activity Sheet (Included). Give students15 minutes to read and examine the poem, also attempting to answer the Questions for Thought.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION: (30 Minutes)

Provide each student with wrap-up activity sheet of a female from one of the countries studied. They are to write a letter to the female expressing his/her feelings and thoughts regarding the roles and status of women in that country, as well as celebrating how the roles and status of women within the country has improved. In addition, have each student express how he/she feels women’s roles will change in the future. Allow for follow-up discussion.

Are you tired of the repetitive worksheets and workbooks that promise to teach your students how to read absolute location (latitude and longitude)? Try out the Battleship: Latitude & Longitude game. This introductory lesson involves a game that will not only encourage students to learn how to read coordinates, but they will have a blast doing it as they sink ships for points. I have used this activity in my 7th-grade geography, class but this activity is great for all learning levels. Please note, this is a class activity that the entire class will play together.

Students will work in cooperative teams (class is split into team 1 and team 2) and will work cooperatively within the teams to identify the location of ships throughout the world, using the deduction method.

Students will walk away from this lesson having a better understanding of how to accurately read latitude and longitude.

Teachers, feel free to modify this lesson to meet your students' needs.

Note: This will come in a zip file. Please print all three files. I am not clear on why it created 3 files instead of one, but all components needed are included within one of the three files.
