Other Term Project Resources:
- The National Endowment for the Humanities (in the USA) has a comprehensive database of humanities lesson plans that we can get some ideas from for our own Northwest Coast archaeology lesson plan project. This database site is quite an amazing resource for teachers; scroll through the various lessons plans under Arts and Culture and take a quick look at a few of the archaeology related lessons to get some ideas about what our lesson plan can look like and include. For example, there is a lesson plan about Old Pompeii, and the Aztec of Mexico, and many more that look very interesting. Browse a few of these and then we will brainstorm as a class about what our teaching materials will include as far as resources, and activities.
- Mysteries of Catalhoyuk may be a good model for possible classroom activities. The Neolithic dinner is a great example of presenting subsistence, technology, and the archaeolgoical record in a very accessible way.
