Welcome to my webpage. I teach 7th grade ancient world cultures of the Eastern Hemisphere including Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, Greece, Rome, and Europe.
I hope to instill an excitement for learning as we discover amazing new things about ancient cultures through new archaeological discoveries and technological advances in the study of these artifacts. I believe that through the study of various cultures, we learn more about ourselves and others.
This past year we were honored to connect with a teacher in China. Her name is May Lee. We used skype, blogging, email and epals to connect with a classroom of students across the globe!! We were able to learn about their culture and share ours with them.
My class is active and learner oriented. We learn together as we use critical thinking skills to analyze the processes used by ancient people to create civilizations. We use the latest technology tools available and keep ourselves apprised of the latest developments as ancient artifacts are studied by the newest scientific instruments and methods.
It is my goal through these web pages to allow my students to share as much of their learning experience with you as possible. We will do many activities and projects throughout the year .
- There is very little homework for my class, however students will need to study for tests which will be given bi-weekly.
