Great Work from the World History Students!

A few weeks ago, during our religion unit, I assigned a project. Students had options of presenting their research in different ways such as through a PowerPoint, museum exhibit, comic strip, essays, etc. I was very impressed by the quality of work presented by some groups. Below are some examples of creative projects.

These are artifacts created by one group for a museum exhibit project. They researched Greek Mythology.

These two students made a whole museum dedicated to the gods and goddesses of Greek Mythology! The detail inside is most impressive!

Maybe I’m a little biased because of my museum studies background, but I loved these projects! I think I may have created some future museum curators. As my museum studies advisor from CMU always says: world domination!

1st Day = Success! Tomorrow: Mapping World Religions

Teaching about ancient religions today was a success! I think that the students enjoyed the lesson, they had some great questions. I can’t wait to see their drawings and read their papers about their Egyptian tombs. Check out yesterday’s blog to see the PowerPoint, warm up, and assignment that we did today.

Tomorrow we will continue the history of religions unit by mapping out different religions. We will use this interactive map: http://www.mapsofwar.com/ind/history-of-religion.html to discuss where and how religions started and spread. Students will practice finding different locations using latitude and longitude as they plot important religious centers.
