Overview

Students can explore the lost culture of Pompeii, prehistoric caves in France, Mayan ruins in Honduras, Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, and other historical sites around the globe - by using the Internet! Organized by continent, this book includes units that enable learners to research other cultures and civilizations by giving them the opportunity to "visit" actual places and peoples from the past. Each unit includes a narrative overview, a list of complete Internet addresses, and a variety of hands-on activities that allow for subject integration across the curriculum. Many of the sites are linked to related sites for further study. This book taps into the vast resources of telecommunications and promotes group and independent student research and problem solving. Offering educators an exciting way to present geography, history, art, culture, and people of the past, it also engages students in study of times that often seem remote and inaccessible. Grades 3 - 8.
