We also thank web page designer Emily Van from EJVDesigns for her inspiration and creativity in constructing the On-Line Teacher's Guide. How to use this guide Effigy Mounds National Monument, in its committment to accessibility, has structured this highly text oriented on-line teachers' guide so educators can view and print lesson plans without spending valuable time waiting for graphics to download. Where appropriate, graphics have been included to facilitate teaching.
Teachers can access information in one of several ways.
To the right and also at the bottom of all screens, they can access lesson plans by grade level. In addition, on this page and on the grade level index pages, teachers can access groups of activities by clicking on subject icons. These icons, located next to activity names, indicate to which strand each activity belongs. Finally, a glossary has been included for both teacher and student use. In the on-line version, a click on the term in the activity description page will take the user to the appropriate term in the glossary.
