REVIEW:
Step into the "Time Machine" and take a 3000-year journey through our
country's past through the drawings of Roxie Munro. The trip begins with a view
of a 1500 year old pictograph and goes through the 1969 moon landing. Visited
landmarks include many houses of the past, the U.S. Capitol, the Boston Gardens,
the Brooklyn Bridge, Lowell Observatory, the Highland Park Ford Plant, the Rose
Bowl, the Empire State Building, the Gateway Arch, and many more. Brief descriptions
are included with each drawing. The drawings are black and white line drawings
that can be downloaded and printed as coloring sheets. By scrolling to the bottom
of the site map, teachers will find a host of useful activities for classroom
and home use that are grouped into seven themes including art and communication,
architecture and engineering, social and political action, and science and technology.
The suggested activities are primarily for grades 4-8, but could be adapted for
other grade levels. Included are a link for learning more about historic landmarks
in general, a booklist for students, and more resources for educators. |
