Virtual+Field+Trips

World Civilizations: Standard 1 Objective 1: Speculate about the factors that led to civilized society. Instruction: We are learning about the stone, bronze, and copper ages. Throughout the past week we have talked about each of these ages and the different technologies that came out of the ages. Each age has very specific artifacts that are a part of their culture. Today, we will be taking a tour of a museum where we can actually see these artifacts. At the end of the tour, you will need to pick one artifact from any of these ages and become an expert on it. Then you will choose a way to present this to the class. You will be working in pairs. Obviously we cannot go to an actual museum for this because the excavations of the sites where these ages took place are all in Europe. Luckily, we can take a virtual tour and learn that way. So we’ll be going to the library to take our tour. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hand out for students: Where to go: [] Click the tab that says “Area” Then click the country of Italy The Presentation: After this, look through each of the artifacts that come up. With your partner, you will choose one artifact. Click the “more info” link to learn more about the artifact. The time period is also listed. Using your notes from class and your book, you will present the artifact to the class. The presentation must include the following: Name of the artifact Period of the artifact Where the artifact comes from What the artifact was used for How the artifact is typical of the time period Why the artifact is valuable Anything else interesting about the artifact. You may present this however you wish. However, the presentation must take at least 4 minutes and both partners must participate equally. You must also include a picture of your artifact. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - As each student gives their presentation, the other students will take notes.
