Introduction
In Chinese Cinderella, the start of the book was based in Tianjin, in this lesson you will learn more about the city of Tianjin. You will learn about the history of Tianjin and some major historical events that happened in the time of Chinese Cinderella. At the start of the book Aunt Baba and Adeline are living in Tianjin, on page 6, they say that their house was built in the french style and look as if it had been lifted from a tree-shaded avenue near the Eiffel Tower.
Task
Your Task in small groups (1 or 2) is to find 1 major event that happened in Tianjin. I could be anything from politics to the french influence or maybe some catastrophic things that could have happened like the Tianjin near Nuclear bombing in 2015, it was described that Tianjin was hit with a 'small' nuclear bomb, people have theories that the USA have a space craft in the atmosphere that was used to drop the bombs on Tianjin. Then put a short speech/powerpoint to show what you have learnt. There are 5 things you have to include:
1. The date of the event
2. What happened
3. Where it happened
4. How it happened
5. Why it happened
Process
If you type in Tianjin major historical events on google/firefox/bing/safari you could start on that, then when you find your event research further into it.
