This is both a printable notes and graphic organizer or a Google Ready slide graphic organizer that explains the Heian Japan. The notes show how the Heian Court Nobles were disconnected from the provinces, which led to chaos outside of nobility, and eventually, the need for Japanese Feudalism. This resource fits perfectly with the Heian Period PowerPoint as the information is the same. Students can fill in the graphic organizer while the teacher presents. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ►►► This product is also available in DISCOUNTED bundles!►►► ⭐M EDIEVAL JAPAN UNIT BUNDLE ⭐ MEDIEVAL HISTORY YEAR IN CURRICULUM ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Terms of Use ☺ ©Instructomania, Inc.

Get your students investigating how new ways of thinking inspired great developments in government and science during the Enlightenment. This Common Core resource packet has a mini-DBQ that is designed to be similar to the New York Regents exam and SBAC. The DBQ is divided into a primary source document analysis and a written response section. Students are expected to respond to questions, find evidence and provide commentary. It fits perfectly with the Common Core reading and writing standards 6-8.1-10. Here’s what’s included with each DBQ: 1. A focus writing response question prominently on each page.
