NCS: archaeology unit


As a prelude to their study of ancient civilizations, Level II is completing a unit on archaeological methods of inquiry. This is a hands on, multi-disciplinary unit. It has both significant concrete vocabulary and spelling demands, as well as sophisticated critical thinking skills which are called upon. Colette is giving directions to the class about the upcoming simulated excavation. (Throughout the unit the Level II teachers have been role-playing two characters - Matilda and Jeeves - who made some pertinent announcements today at lunch council.) Many of the materials used were developed by the Society for American Archaeology.
