Social Sundays: 5 resources for Feudal Japan

I’ve taught Feudal Japan as its own unit or as part of our Middle Ages unit.  The choice is largely dictated by our timeline and the scope of the course.  After teaching it a few times there some sources that I’ve found that are a nice addition to our study, and as a bonus are free (except 1)!   

Here’s 5 recommendations:

• 3D Timeline of Feudal Japan

• Crash Course overview of Feudal Japan in the Heian Period

• The Slicing Samurais - a Horrible Histories book if you can get a hold of a copy or 2.  A big hit with students.

• Art of the Heian period - short video from Little Art Talks

• About the Shinto Religion

This is part of a series of posts on teaching topics in
