The lesson plan for China’s First Emperor: The Man Who Built the Great Wall! is designed to help home-educating parents and carers guide learners through this key period in ancient Chinese history. The topic explores the life and legacy of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China, who not only brought the warring states together under one rule but also started the construction of the famous Great Wall.

This plan includes structured activities to help children and teenagers understand the emperor’s achievements, why the Great Wall was built, and the challenges of ruling such a vast empire. With a mixture of factual reading, creative writing, historical discussion, and hands-on projects, the lesson offers flexible learning that suits a wide range of ages and abilities.

Parents can choose how much to cover in one session or use it over a few days. It’s suitable for any family using Elective Home Education and is designed to support both confident learners and those who may need extra encouragement. Everything is explained clearly, with thoughtful questions and fun activities that promote real learning.
