It continues the exploration of dynasties, offering students an in-depth view of Chinese civilization from the Song Dynasty to the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the end of the entire dynastic system. In four lessons, students study important events, people, and achievements of the following dynasties: Song Dynasty (960–1279), Yuan Dynasty (1279–1368), Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), and Qing Dynasty (1644–1911).

This curriculum unit introduces students to the first 2,500 years of Chinese history and offers students an in-depth view of Chinese civilization from the nascent years of the Shang Dynasty through the golden age of the Tang Dynasty.

The Cultural Revolution in China (1966-1976) was a decade of enormous change and upheaval with a lasting impact on the country, its citizens, and the world. China's Cultural Revolution teaches students about the social, cultural, educational, political, and economic changes through hands-on activities requiring critical thinking skills.

Since the late 1970s, China has experienced an unprecedented economic boom, and is today's fastest growing major economy. Its economic reforms of 1978 allowed large amounts of capital to flow within the country, spurring the economy into a period of breakneck growth. Tens of millions of rural Chinese have been drawn into China's cities looking for work, and countless businesses-foreign and domestic-have sprung up in China, each eager to grab a piece of China's 1.3 billion-strong customer base: the world's largest. It is an exciting time. In a country where people starved from widespread poverty only 50 years ago, business is booming like never before. More and more people are living longer, more comfortable lives, and are finally able to afford luxuries like air conditioners, refrigerators, mobile phones, and cars. For them, China's rapid rise is a dream come true-a transition to a modern country. But not everyone is happy. To make room for development, citizens have been evicted from their homes and forcibly relocated. Lax environmental practices have spawned 16 of the world's 20 most polluted cities. The income gap between rural and urban China has widened. Northern China's deserts are expanding and Beijing's water tables have dropped. More people are suffering from diseases related to air pollution, water pollution, and fatty diets. Is China's dream turning into a nightmare? 10,000 Shovels examines the causes and effects of China's development boom, and encourages students to evaluate and appreciate its benefits and costs.

The main purpose of this unit is to demonstrate to students that the Chinese language, though in many ways different from the English language with which they may be the most familiar, actually shares common principles with the English language. We assume that familiarizing students with the Chinese language will reduce its "strangeness" for non-Chinese-speaking people. In this sense, the central goal of this unit is not that students learn Chinese, however worthy such a goal might be. Rather, we hope that, through a series of exercises which actively involve students with Chinese, students will engage in the process of "demystifying the Chinese language."

This documentary, directed by Mei-juin Chen, focuses on the life of internationally renowned Peking Opera star Mei Lanfang. Famous by his late teens, Mei (1895-1961) was the toast of Shanghai in the 1930s. During his visit to Hollywood he was welcomed by Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford; while during his trip to the USSR, he was filmed by none other than Sergei Eisenstein. After refusing to play for Japanese troops and vocally supporting the Communists, Mei was treated as a VIP by Mao's government until his death in 1961.
