Feudal Japan: Samurai and Weapons Webquest

Feudal Japan: Samurai and Weapons Webquest

Students will gain a basic understanding of the samurai, weapons, and warfare in Feudal Japan through an easy to follow webquest. Please check out the two websites used by clicking on the link below:

Website 1: https://www.history.com/topics/japan/samurai-and-bushido

Click here to view the first website.

Website 2: http://www.tofugu.com/2015/08/07/katana-rocket-launchers-unique-weapons-ancient-japan/

Click here to view the second website.

Important! The second website uses the term “badasses” to describe the samurai at one point. Depending on the age of your students and the school you teach at, you might want to avoid using this webquest otherwise this webquest well be very enjoyable to most students, especially male students.

The webquest contains 40 questions and an answer key is included for the teacher. I recommend using this activity as a review or introduction activity for students when learning about the samurai. The webquest will take most students at least 30 to 50 minutes to complete depending on age. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students.
