This slideshow helps elementary students quickly learn about famous landmarks, food, art, and the culture of China. This slideshow can be used at the start of any unit on China. You can also print the slideshow and make a book of it for student research. You will also find 4 questions at the bottom of the slideshow that can be used to review the information students have learned.
This PDF file is not editable. This slideshow can be opened in the TPT Education software to add, delete or modify pages. For your students, I created a free EASEL activity that they can use to answer questions, highlight and circle important points, and write about the lessons they learned.
