Lothal - On the Indus River
Grades

In the Classroom
Use the images in this site to create a visual discovery activity during a unit on the Indus River Valley. Select 3-5 of the more powerful images, placing them in a Powerpoint presentation to be displayed over the interactive whiteboard or projector. Allow the class to view the images for 30-45 seconds each, writing down what they observe, infer and predict about each image. After all the images have been seen, start a class discussion based on student's findings. This is a great way to review material, as it allows students to apply classroom knowledge.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Asia Through A Glass Darkly:
Grades
9 to 12In the Classroom
Use these resources as a means to teach about stereotypes and racism, and what kind of negative impacts they can have. Introduce lessons and videos on the interactive whiteboard, leading into a class discussion based on student responses to the information.. Because there are a lot of resources, it might proceed quicker if you pick out a few choice highlights as an introduction first, rather than showing the whole site. Have students create blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Telegra.ph, reviewed here. With Telegra.ph you just click on an icon to upload images from your computer, add a YouTube or Vimeo, or Twitter links.
