I developed this from an existing lesson I have taught, centered around a story in our 7th Grade anthology called "Ribbons" by Laurence Yep. While the focus of this lesson is really on conflict resolution, which was a main theme in the story, the backdrop is China. It is easy to center more on China and the practice of Chinese foot binding if one needed to.
Clear, concise, very easy to understand. Lot's of good research implemented. Well done.
