The document provides an overview of a history lesson about Imperial China that will focus on the Monkey King allegory from the Chinese classic Journey to the West. Students will start with silent reading before learning about how the Monkey King came to be from a video link. They will then analyze primary source pages from the text to better understand the allegory. For an activity, students will write the next part of the Monkey King story to demonstrate their understanding of allegories and what lessons the character might learn.
