L ButlerThe original link to the World Heritage sites did not work. However, the UNESCO home page still has many resources. UNESCO has cultural and news resources. The pictures and stories describing the World Heritage sites are interesting. This would be useful when describing the culture of different regions we study. However, the intended audience of the website is not middle school age children. There are complex topics and long words that prevent the information from being accessible by all my students. We could look at the website as a full class to make sure everyone understands what is being described.
The link to the World Heritage sites is actually http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/. There is an interactive map with three different colored dots; however, there is no map key to explain what they stand for. It might be a good exercise for students to look at the map in pairs and try to determine what each color tells you. That would lead into a class discussion about the importance of labeling the map with a title and a map key. The discussion would also include problem solving strategies, what did they do to find the answer since it was not obvious. -
