PBS to Premiere Michael Woods' "The Story of China"

Michael Wood's "The Story of China" will premiere on PBS on Tuesday, June 20th.

The  series includes six episodes:

1. Ancestors (June 20th)
2. Silk roads and Ships (June 27)
3. Golden Age
4. The Ming
5. The Last Empire
6. The Age of Revolution

You can see the first episode below.  I found it on Daily Motion.

The Story of China website has some great interactive features including a quiz on the different dynasties, a timeline, and an interactive map.

The website also includes some classroom resources. For example, a lesson on Confucianism and the Analects includes the appropriate segment of the video in which Michael Wood discusses Confucianism, along with a background essay and discussion questions.
