Chickity-China-the-Chinese-chicken

[One Week, by Barenaked Ladies]

So I had my students do a summarizing project on some information we learned about ancient Chinese and Japanese civilizations. They could write a paper, a poem, a rap song, draw a picture, whatever they wanted so long as they demonstrated mastery of the information.

So check this out:

The first emperor of China was Chin
He did what he did
Said what he said
Made all the rules & abided by it
He died in 210 B.C.
Great Wall is a symbol of his mastery
In Japan, warriors use rituals to control society
Samurai had swords that represent your personality
Then along came guns
No full clip
There was no cocking back
There was no 4" 5th
Only drop the gun powder
Aim and pop
The invader just dropped
All cause Samurai aim was good
& they bust a good shot

Two words: Love it :)
