Egyptian Art & Archaeology

Use the images in the exhibit for a visual discovery activity. Select 3-4 images, placing them on a slide-show presentation.

This would be great review activity before an assessment, allowing students to apply the knowledge just learned. This would be a great resource for a world history classroom.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Michelangelo
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Use this site on a projector or interactive whiteboard to discuss and informally assess prior knowledge as you start your study of the Italian Renaissance. This site offers biographical information about Michelangelo, in addition to images of some of his work.

Within the teacher resources page there is a search option that allows you to search their resources for specific words and phrases. This would be a great tool for students working on research projects or papers as the results will be similar to a google search, without the junk. For this use, save the site as a favorite on your teacher web page or wiki to allow students to access it in and out of the classroom.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
