The Cave of Lascaux - France Ministry of Culture and Communication
Grades
4 to 12
tag(s): archeology (25), painting (55)
In the Classroom
Use a projector to introduce the site, if you must, but allow your students to navigate this one alone or with a partner. The thrill of discovery through the site's design is more than worth any management challenges. Give the students a specific set of questions to answer and things to find, if you are concerned that they may not stay on task. Compare these primitive drawings to those found in other cultures and continents as you discuss common themes in religion and mythology.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Gridcosm - SITO
Grades
6 to 12tag(s): poetry (190)
In the Classroom
Share selected images on a projector as writing prompts or to open a "what is art" discussion. You could also use the images simply as examples of montages before a hands-on project, though this approach misses the clickable depths of each image. Teachers should be aware that this site does not limit image content, so some nudity may occasionally appear in the images. Check you art program's guidleines for such images and/or maintain teacher control over which ones are shown in class, if this will be a problem in your shcool.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Alexander Palace Time Machine - Bob Atchison
Grades
6 to 12In the Classroom
Send your students on a tour, looking for evidence to support a poitn of view about tsarist Russia. Or try a scavenger hunt where students find answers to specific questions.
