SOTW week 4

1848-1861

•  Giuseppe Garibaldi, Young Italy rebels against Austria.
• Victor Emmanuel II, Italy becomes a Kingdom
• Taipings rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

The largest part of this unit covered Italy and China. The manual had some great suggestions for this unit so we ran with it.

 The First Pizzeria opened in 1830 in Naples, Italy. It is still open today. Naturally, as a class we had to celebrate Italy becoming a Kingdom in 1861 with pizza!

Our Journal entries and map work

This is a Taiping Tien Kuo Coin. You read these coins first from top to bottom and then from right to left. Almost off of these coins have been destroyed. The front side of this coin says " The Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace" and the backside says "Holy Coins"

 I baked some brownies... cut out a template of the coin... sprinkled some powdered sugar on top and got this....

So while we consumed our pizza and brownies (Yeah, History is torture!) we learned some new words in Uygur.

Hindsight is 20/20 as they say... Along with having them learn how to count from 1-9 in Uygur I also had them write out "God Bless You" and "God Loves you" in Uygur Calligraphy. I didn't get any pictures! 

Counting in Uygur
