Explorations Into Ancient India

Instructional Time: 2 hours a day for 2 days each week for 3 weeks.

Process:
Students should search various websites using the web link "Ancient India Library". Some websites can be previously bookmarked by teacher on classroom computers, and studetns can also find some sites on their own.
We will plan at least two walking field trips to the library during this month for students to explore other resources available to them.
Last, but not least, Oakland Unified Schools has an adopted textbook for Ancient World explorations.
All information collected by students will be stored in a folder/journal created just for Ancient Civilizations.
