The purpose of this area is to act as a resource, and eventually an exchange, where teachers using Right Here on This Spot in their classroom can find lesson plans, ideas, and materials that they can then use or adapt for their students Over the next couple months, I'm going to be providing more detailed descriptions and printable materials for the items listed below. Sharon and a friend of hers have also put together a great handout detailing additional activities for classroom use. Eventually, I'll post them here in a similar format to what's here.
Students take turns guessing locations using the coordinates of the grid.
Winner is the first to find all the artifacts. Here's a chance for kids to get an idea of what it's like. This assignment is intended to spark a discussion of why it's important for archaeologists to be so careful, how they learn about things by being so careful, etc. A research project for individuals or groups. This project could take several forms.
