The Virtual Excavation

A bewildering sight will confront students. A large green field with some lumps and bumps in it. Using grid references students will dig beneath the surface to discover what lies underneath in this one or two lesson graded activity.

Content
This lesson is designed to work with MYP, KS3, NCSS standards and is ready to go straight out the box. This lesson includes the following files; 1) Powerpoint presentation, 2) Resource sheets, 3) worksheets, 4) comprehension test, 5) a lesson plan (MYP aligned).

How to Use
Students will work on an excavation which they will interpret using the objects that they find. They will find out what the site was and who used it and how. Students will also take a comprehension test to asses how well they performed in the task. This lesson can run either as an individual task or a group activity. A model lesson structure is outlined in the lesson plan. This also actively provides opportunities for SEN and LEx differentiation.

Who Should Buy This
This lesson can be used by anyone, but it is designed to be taught out of the box. It is best suited to a new teacher or a teacher who wants everything done with no input from themselves. I strongly advise looking at the units bundles if you want to build on each lessons topics sequentially. If you are a more experienced teacher then check out the resource packs for use in history lessons.
