Ancient China Webquest

Picture
Research on Ancient China involves both print and media resources.  Here, students will endeavor on a tour of ancient China through Internet, multimedia, and a Destiny Library Catalog search for print resources. 


First, we will work together to find a resource through our Destiny Library Catalog on ancient China.  As we discover our resources, we will discuss them together to explore what makes a good reference for this topic.  Some questions to consider: 


(1) Do we want to find a fiction book or nonfiction source?  (What does fiction and nonfiction mean?)
(2) What is a biography or autobiography?
(3) What is a reference book?

Possible resource found in Destiny Library Catalog:
