Excavate! Byzantine Empire против Grade 5 Science Использование & Stats

Learn History in a new way with Excavate! Byzantine, an immersive social studies game for middle school students where you role-play as an archaeologist! Use Archaeological thinking to apply C3 skills of Inquiry and Evaluation of Evidence to aspects of Byzantine daily life not covered in textbooks. By excavating and analyzing four significant locations, players will: • Gain a new perspective on the ancient Byzantine empire • Distinguish the roles of men, women, and children in the ancient Byzantine empire • Examine the symbols of the King and Queen • Explain the symbolism and procedure of an ancient military and religion Players can explore the sites in any order; progress is recorded in journals that log collected artifacts, field notes and achievements. Throughout the game, players use C3 skills to analyze and make connections. They carefully deduct the facts about each area, stratum by stratum and artifact by artifact. At each location, players make meaning of how artifacts were used through a series of analysis questions and reports that require players to make connections, read closely and consider the historical context of the primary source artifacts. Finally, players see each site come alive as artifacts populate an historically accurate image of Byzantine life.
