Chinese Nationalism: Cultural Revolution Lesson 5

A lesson designed for a flipped classroom approach. The content of the Word Document was put onto the class One Note with sources attached so that students could work through the lesson independently at their own pace. (Ideal for leaving as a cover or during school closures).

The resource includes:
The word document referred to above which includes a link to a video looking back on the cultural revolution (made for the 50 year anniversary) and 3 viewing questions. Information about the historical concept of empathy (what it means and how this differs from sympathy.) Looking at a type of source where this skill can be applied: autobiographies. Information about the difference between a biography and an autobiography are provided. A series of extracts from 2 autobiographies are provided. Students are to read both and then choose one to complete a CAMPORUM table about.

Typed extracts from two memoirs which students will engage with in the lesson (Mao’s Last Dancer and Wild Swans)

A table explaining CAMPORUM with hints of what students should look be looking for when analysing and evaluating the source

**Resources designed for the new senior Modern History syllabus (implemented in QLD in 2019). The end of term assessment for this unit was an Independent Source Investigation.

The content would also be useful more broadly for students in other states and countries with an interest in the China (1931-1976). The other resources are also available in my store – Aussie_Resources. **
