History Project

I am excited to announce that we are going to have a new teacher Tommaso Grimaldi. He will be working with me for our 6th grade history projects. Tom has extensive knowledge with project based learning. I am pleased to be working with him on this current project, “How does ancient civilization connect to my life?” Posted below are the computer links that we will be researching to answer questions that we come up with. This project will be very student centered and driven.
Ancient Civilization PBL Links:
( Please note that some links will require you to “join.” I have done so with respect to all of the free sites, but thought to include the “pay” memberships just in case anyone wanted that option) Some of the 28 links are direct source links to information while others are indirect.

Here’s to “Pubble” Power…”P.B.L.” that is. J : t.g.
